Just get vaccinated

Was President Donald Trump trying to kill Americans? What a ridiculous question.

Well, was he trying to get us to put government microchips inside our bodies? That is crazy talk.

OK, then, why was he so insistent on getting a covid vaccine developed? Because he knew how deadly the pandemic was turning. He also knew this country’s history on go-slow rules and regulations and how that could make it years before we’d get a vaccine we need right now. That’s why he pushed “Warp Speed”—and should maybe get the Medal of Freedom for accomplishing that goal in time nobody thought remotely possible.

Then, why are the vaccines President Trump warp sped to availability now treated like an enemy invasion?

That question is far above my thinking grade. This isn’t: Our own state and our neighbor directly north are sadly some of the worst in the nation in lack of vaccinations taken and in recent increase in infections. And nationwide, something north of 98 percent of all new hospitalizations and deaths are people who have not had their shots.

Our own Republican governor— and the one in Utah—are breaking ranks and urging their “red” states to get the shots.

And the other night I saw Sean Hannity say that he’s had the shots and thinks that’s what we should do.

There are many things to express our political disagreements about. Lifesaving vaccines should not be one of them. Fight political/ideological battles on other grounds—not on one that’s so obviously stacked against all mankind if we allow it to be.

Get vaccinated. Please …
