I've spent a ton of time in hospitals and doctors offices the past month. I have a 2 month old who was diagnosed with congenital cataracts (bilateral) and went into surgery a few weeks ago. The week before surgery he got sick and was having difficulties breathing. His pediatrician sent us to the ER. That same week I had a vasectomy. Then a few days later my 3 year old put some air soft pellets in his ears and his pediatrician sent us to the ER. What I found interesting with all this time in the ER and at doctor's offices is how little talk there was about COVID. When my son was in the ER for respiratory issues they never once suggested it was COVID (and yes he had a fever). No COVID tests or anything. My brother in law is a doctor who is a big provaxer who did reluctantly take the Moderna vax but no one else in his family has taken it. My next door neighbor is also a nurse who hasn't taken it and doesn't plan on it. She said most of the nurses at her hospital haven't and don't plan on it.
The survival rate of the flu is about the same as COVID. Why don't we get guilted and pressured about the flu shot? "you may survive the flu but don't you care about everyone else". Why aren't there threads on freaking car forums titled "Why didn't you take your flu shot yet?". Why are people still so terrified with all we know about it now? Why are there people wearing masks in the car as they text while driving while also tailgating?
