Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have a Super Virus
We didn’t deserve this.
This pandemic has played out exactly like a horror movie.
That doesn’t sound dramatic to anyone who’s been paying attention for the last two years, those of us who’ve actually had to deal with it on a personal level. And yet, we still can’t get more than half the world to take it seriously. Our leaders have botched the response from every angle, leaving the world vulnerable yet again, probably more than ever.
The facts are trickling in about Omicron, the virus our media dismissed as “mild,” just like they dismissed the virus two winters ago, telling us we should be more worried about the flu.
The facts are disturbing.
To make things worse, parents like me just recently found out that vaccine trials have failed for children under five. Now we get to choose between sending our children out into a chaotic and dangerous world without a shred of protection, or keeping them in isolation for an indefinite future. The very last hope we have is that somehow, miraculously, Omicron does turn out to be mild. If that weren’t enough, the ones accusing us of fear mongering, telling us to suck it up and move on their our lives, are the exact same who keep screwing it up for everyone. They never learn.
