Covid-19: The lack of transparency

The Covid-19 pandemic has destroyed people’s lives beyond imagination, and it’s an era in this world that will forever be written in history. Unfortunately, millions of people had to be lost during this whole process. One would feel this could have been avoided if the health departments, government and pharmaceutical companies were transparent with all the information concerning the deadly virus. That’s the least people deserve, rather than being kept in the dark and even allegedly manipulated into believing certain fabricated findings of Covid-19. Even though this is still a developing virus that needs to be constantly studied, the information found in every study shouldn’t be kept a secret from the public. This is one of the things that‘s making the Coronavirus easily transmitted from person to person, which is a lack of knowledge within different communities.

When some individuals do their research about the virus and present some shocking findings on social media, they end up being called conspiracy theorists. Even though they’re trying to open the citizens' eyes about Covid-19, they feel that some don’t add up with the information that they keeping from their governments and healthcare services. It’s ideal to question things in life as that will lead to curiosity and you end up getting schooled by different people. Ever since Covid-19 hit the shores of different countries, there have been people that didn’t take any vaccine-associated with the virus which are called anti-vaxxers. Ideally, the vaccine was created to stop the high spread of Coronavirus and millions of doses have been taken by people across the world. Even when the vaccine was created faster than normal, the anti-vaxxers didn’t feel that it was allegedly good to be injected on human bodies. As the pharmaceutical companies that made the vaccines made sure that they put a disclaimer on their doses that they’re not held legally responsible for any side effects that pro-vaxxers experience every time they take jabs.

One would think that was enough to make people shy away from taking vaccines, however, most of them believe by seeing. As they’ve gone on to get jabbed, and whatever happens after that it’s their problem. Even though some countries tried to enforce the vaccine on their citizens, by introducing the vaccine certificate. This meant that some companies will employ people that are vaccinated, and if some employees are not vaccinated, then they will have to get the jab or stand to lose their occupations. All those people that are constantly travelling, had to be vaccinated so that they can move around the world. There are even certain places that don’t allow unvaccinated people, which was some of the tactics used to corner anti-vaxxers into buying into an alleged ‘New World Order’. Some anti-vaxxers were able to fold, however, they’re currently regretting their decision. After the recent Pzifer Covid-19 vaccine alleged side effects were leaked, which has caused a massive concern to the public.

According to the Covid-19 vaccine side effects are as per NICD.AC.ZA, people can experience pain, swelling, or redness where the vaccine was injected. Meanwhile, others have mild fever, chills, feeling tired, headache, muscle and joint aches. These were the side effects that the public has been familiar with over the past two years. Little did they know that there’s more to it than what meets the eyes, which requires people to see what’s happening with the world. According to reports, the Coronavirus has over 1 280 side effects, allegedly – including multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, neonatal seizure, thrombotic cerebral infarction, pancreatitis, pneumonia, lobe epilepsy, myocarditis, testicular autoimmunity, etc.

Life is about choices: To vaccinate or not to vaccinate, whatever you choose, don’t judge others!

We’re living in a world that has evolved over the years and we keep on learning and unlearning every day. What has worked in the past, might not work today. It’s just a matter of understanding each situation and dissecting it. At the same time, you have to be reasonable and be willing to do your research. You cannot just take whatever the media, so-called experts or social media is feeding you. Remember that you’re your person, hence you’re entitled to your own opinions and life choices. If you believe in something that you’re willing to put your life on it, then kudos to you. However, it doesn’t mean that another person who doesn’t believe in what you’re willing to die for is wrong. We need to clarify that as human beings, that we’re unique and that needs to be respected. We shouldn’t enforce our belief system on other people, that’s hundred percent wrong.

This brings me to the different conversations that have turned into arguments or conflicts and even worse, hatred! The talks about the vaccine have become a trend, which is understandable since the world is facing the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s difficult to live life to the fullest without worrying about this deadly virus. Millions of people have succumbed to this unforgiving virus, may their souls rest in eternal peace. It’s always an unbearable feeling losing someone you love dearly in life, death isn’t something that anyone can get used to in this world, even though people die every day. This is something we hope can stop from happening, many people love living as they’ve got different dreams that they have to achieve. Even though the COVID-19 statistics are horrible to look at every time, but people have a choice to vaccinate or not take the jab. Hence no one should be forced into something that they don’t want in life.

If you’re vaccinated or not vaccinated, good for you. It doesn’t mean you should go around telling others to follow in your footsteps. Remember that it was your choice to get the jab or jabs in your body. Stop belittling other people that haven’t got vaccinated, it’s just not right and you know it. Everyone has their reasons behind not taking the vaccine, the same way you have your reasons for getting the jab. Sadly, social media have been filled with many vaccine influencers trying to sell a dream to the world. When it comes to the people that are against the vaccine, they shouldn’t question the choices of pro-vaxxers. However, they should respect their decisions of getting the jab and not try to spread conspiracy theories. We’re all human beings trying, by all means, to do what we feel is right for ourselves. At the end of the day, whether you choose to get the vaccine or not, there are always consequences that come with our decisions in life. No one deserves to be categorized in terms of being a pro-vaxxer or anti-vaxxer, it’s just ridiculous, to say the least. It has been clearly stated that even if you vaccinate you can still get COVID-19.

In life, we can always have conversations without disrespecting each other and the vaccine talks are something worth talking about nowadays. You can always get your point across easily, without insulting the intelligence of other people. The aim is to spread love, peace, kindness, and honesty. There’s no need to judge other people’s decisions, after all, we’re all here to learn from each other. If you’ve been vaccinated, please share your experience with others too.
