Covid/vaccine aftermath/healing
an anecdote
Recently, I had a discussion with a family who were bereaved of an uncle, who had died in his 90s from covid. They had also lost their uncle’s daughter, also from covid, within the same week.
“If only she hadn’t talked him out of getting the vaccine, he might still be here with us,” I was told.
There are layers of grief, and when they are entwined with anger, it appears to take longer to resolve.
How many grieving Canadians labour under the notion that a friend or family member could have been saved, if only they had gotten a vaccine?
It's a tough one, as is the opposite. People in my life are grieving, or anticipating grieving (my father in law is doing poorly), and I and my wife attribute some of these cases to adverse events. But people won't necessarily thank you for saying so.
That’s why I just keep my mouth shut, never engaged in the “anti vaxers kill granny’s” and never once made use of a vaccine passport for anything - refused to be a part of any of it
