We have been dealing with the covid pandemic for nearly two years now, and it is becoming part of everyday life. When it first spread out over the country, schools closed and parents were responsible to teach their children or make it possible for remote learning. Before too long came complaining and protesting. Then they realized they did not have much of a choice, so they just sucked it up and worked with it.

As pharmaceutical companies are working 24/7 manufacturing vaccines and the government is doing its due diligence to have people get their inoculations, there are still many people who refuse to get it, and many now are refusing to have their children wear masks to school.

These parents are fighting with the same government agencies that have developed ways for children to get back in the classrooms. The parents, however, are still complaining “My child, my decision” or “You can’t infringe on my rights.” Well, parents, have you forgotten about your moral obligation to help your fellow man? This pandemic is a worldwide illness, and not getting immunized is just giving it more strength and not giving the world one up on the deadly virus.

Stop believing social media conspiracies about the vaccines causing sterility in women or containing microchips. Read instead the CDC guidelines and follow them. They are true, honest and accurate. Go get your shot and quit fighting.
