I am very puzzled by those who are not taking advantage of the covid 19 vaccines which are not readily availavble in most places around the globe, certainly this is the case in U.S. and Canada.

Vaccines have been proven to work.  Some examples of diseases virtually eradicated by vaccines are; polio, tetanus, hepatitis B,  Rubella, Measles, Whooping Cough.  The full list is much more extensive.

Herd Immunity

Interestingly, protecting ourselves from deadly communicable diseases requires co-operation.  We must all gain immunity (or at least 90%) to eradicate the disease or at least reduce its impact to manageable levels.

We lve in a scientifically enlightened era for which historical proof of the effectiveness of vaccines is absolute.  Simply put, diseases with vaccines were once endemic but are no longer so.

The examples of deadly disease eliminations are objectively measurable, known past pandemics which have been eliminated are well documented.

Group Think

Vaccination is a case where group think is required.  In this case creativity or individual responsibility is not needed.  Acceptance of reality and active participation is the order of the day.

Sadly some believe vaccination against covid is a sales pitch or even worse a conspiracy.   For me thinking this way is both somewhat delusional but sadly it is impactful on others.

Choosing not to get vaccination allows for a transmission vector to continue to exist.  Thus enough people will ontinue to get sick to impact everyone.

It Works

Does vaccination work against covid?  In England, for which the population is 73% vaccinated,  the number of new daily cases dropped from around 63,000 in January to less than 500.

Given this did not occur until vaccination was underway in earnest the conclusion seems pretty straightforward to me.  So don’t delay, get vaccinated now.
