Only a few days ago I was blogging about the fact why I did not want to get my vaccinations. To recapture: in case you missed it, I have had Covid and research in different countries seem to prove that, if you have had it, you do not need a vaxx not just for 6 months but possibly even for years and decades..
So I have a perfect excuse to be an anti vaxxer, because research also found and this was confirmed by an expert at the GGD that if you have had Covid like I did and you still chose to have the vaxx, it might well kill you.
So as far as I am concerned, I prefer to stay away of the stuff and that was part of the blog, wherein I also wrote that I empathies hugely with anyone who has it badly, lost someone through it and all those who due to this illness had to stop their other treatment, which apparently in lots of cases would mean that their death will be more eminent than ever.
For convenience sake I forgot to tell that I too lost family to Covid, it makes a blog become all too sad, which I did not want.
The reason why I am mentioning it all the same, is because even friends seem to take offence of my lack of empathy of those (still) suffering due to Covid or even worse my stupidity of not taking the Vaxx.
I think that the moment you are showing yourself as an Anti Vaxxer, you seem to attract all kind of personal attacks, whereby one person even went thus far, that he found it necessary to show that my English was sadly lacking..
Now through time and I am fairly old, I have been lacking in a lot of things, but the one thing I never felt myself lacking is my knowledge of the English language or my sense of empathy towards others!
And might you not agree on my statement that every and anyone should decide for themselves whether they will get the jab or not, I think I could state quite easily that in that case, you are lacking in empathy, because you do not know their background, their circumstances etcetera
And then another thing, what in the hell possesses you to think that you with that jab in your arm are now somewhat of an elitist?? And above all somehow far superior to me??
I am a granddaughter of resistance warriors, my grandfathers and grandmother were in the resistance in WW2, one of them even set it up in Zaandam and led them till he was betrayed and executed.
He has given his life for his convictions, recognised on two different monuments and even has given his name to a road in recognition of his offering, so I feel free, quite happily go against the stream on a regular bases, sometimes for obvious reasons (to me), for kids and sometimes just for the hell of it !
But I believe I would make my grandfathers laugh and proud of the fact that I belong to their tribe, not because I am brilliant, lovely and quite intelligent, but because I dare to take the hard road which will be shun by so many but will never be shun by me.
It can sometimes make a very heavy load because at any given time I have to set my own limitations and be bound by my own integrity with its own limits.
Now if you want to show me for an idiot, an irresponsible misguided one, I do not mind, both my grandfathers probably had this same experience and they were proven to be on the right side in the end, somewhat reluctant heroes etc.
Nor would I ever dare to acclaim to have their status, because I have little or no ambition, but do realise I am standing here in front of my convictions and throwing all kind of fake arguments at me will not faze me!
You see,
I am not responsible for the fact that operations are halted etc, please look at your own chosen Prime minister for that, it was his choice to close hospitals and/or drain them of much needed personnel. Nothing to do with me!
I am not responsible for the fact that this illness is still raging around the Globe, nor of the fact that It has not been stopped yet. There are forces of nature far stronger than men, who are responsible for this.
I am not responsible for the fact that you have someone very ill and very close to you, so I will repeat once more, I feel for you and their “own ones” because it must be horrific, but do not tell me that I have no empathy, you should know better.
I am however responsible for the fact that my blog(s) might have genuine grammar mistakes in them and I am sorry if they irritate you…
But on the other hand, you might just be wrong, It might just be proper English, because somehow through the years reading tons of books and speaking the language almost daily has me convinced that I speak the Queens English far better than 90% of the UK population and that includes also your former Common wealth country.
Do not presume that having had the jab makes you superior to me, you have only taken another decision based on fear and the information you received.
But your truth is unfortunately not the only truth, which makes my truth also not automatically wrong.
Because like with my grandfathers, it takes time to be proven right and perhaps in this case there is no right or wrong, perhaps I just do not want to fill Pharmas pockets in order to feel like an elitist too.
Perhaps just being me, is sufficient for me.
And if you think less of me, then that is more your problem than it is mine!
Have a great day anyhow!
