There are those that read my blog who’ve recently lamented I’ve posted nothing to read as of late. I just haven’t been in the mood… and nor am I in the mood now .
This past week we’ve had numerous family members in South America come down with the Covid . Three were hospitalized and we are grateful to hear that one of them has just come off the respirator though another is still on it. Those two members of the family are 38 and 39 year old parents of young children and I can only imagine what their spouses and children are suffering right now.
The source of all of this was obvious. It was our nephews Father in Law who considered the Covid thing all bullshit. He declined the offered vaccine claiming a few shots of Tequila now and then would kill any virus . In fact, he did pick up the Covid while out enjoying a few Tequilas with friends before visiting his daughter and grandchildren .
He died two days ago at the age of 69 but not before having spread the disease throughout the family. The only thing that bothers me about his death is that he won’t be around to witness what his ignorance has done .
Back here in America I just told this story to my Father. Dad accrued 37 years in the armed forces of the United States and holds every right to the brag of his service in defence of this nation against all enemies. Yet it seems he’s unwilling to help in the fight to protect us all from a disease and can’t be bothered to get the vaccine .
I get the impression that my Father’s views on not getting the vaccine are similar to those who work where I do. They view not getting vaccinated as an appropriate FU Biden statement …… and I just can’t wrap my head around that. I view it an embarrassment that citizens, and proud soldiers of this nation like my Father would allow themselves to be misled by the poor leadership we received from the likes of the Trump family …
