My husband and I are fully vaccinated. He was vaccinated + 2 weeks on the 23rd. I will go on May 3.
We look forward to having more protection in the future. I’m embarrassed to still have to wear a mask most of the time, but it’s a step in the right direction.
But that move would still leave us stranded if others don’t want to get vaccinated.
I’m not talking to you if you can’t get vaccinated because of medical issues. You are not the problem. You are a big part of why we need to vaccinate when we can. I’m not talking to you if you’re under 16. Although, once they approve it for younger, get vaccinated.
The rest of you–yes, I’m talking to you.
We have spent a year+ hating the restrictions that covid19 has put on our lives.
- Not giving family hugs
- No funeral for family members
- Didn’t celebrate milestones together
- Don’t know if the kids can go to school in person (yes we homeschool but we know it affects a lot)
- There is no group meeting in the women’s theater
- Can’t go to church
- Having my children cut off from friends and angry at friends who refuse to wear masks
- Having to overthink every decision and still not knowing if it’s right
- Feeling left out when others start meeting in person and stop having things virtually
- Adherence to the rules on masks and social distancing needs to be justified
I do not want.
I hate it all.
But we can’t ask for it.
We must step up and do our part. We must look for our opportunity to be vaccinated and take it. My fear now is that people will quit. That politics will continue to make people decide not to vaccinate. That as lay people, we decide we know better than doctors and scientists. It worries me,
I can’t change many minds, or maybe anything, but I can make sure people have information. If you follow me on Facebook you will see me sharing vaccine information for Michigan. If you are in Michigan, search @kenhaddad on Twitter for daily updates on where to find vaccination opportunities.
Today, Governor Whitmer announced the plan to reopen this state. It comes down to vaccination levels. Do your part.
Look here for details about vaccination and reopening:
We spent a year together feeling helpless as people died and people got sick by the thousands. Now, we can finally do something. And it’s not difficult. It’s free and it’s available. Yes, there is usually a mild reaction as your immune system works to protect you but it lasts for hours to just a few days. On the contrary, it has been at least 413 days since Covid laid siege to our state and our country.

Live until you Grow!
