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.

I've taken a long one-year hiatus from blogging and here's why

You know what they say, life happens. I've been reminiscing about making a come back to blogging for a while now. I've had a lot of time on my hands ever since I've lost my occupation, thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic. One thing I'm grateful for is that I'm still alive and I still have a shot at changing my life for the better. It has been challenging having to adjust to the new normal. I still struggle getting used to wearing a mask every time I'm in public and also, practising social distancing. It's a great challenge though since we've just entered into different waves within the country. 

I make sure that I wear my mask every time I'm out and out within this beautiful country called South Africa. Even though I've minimized my movements for my health. When it comes to hygiene, I didn't have an issue with constantly washing and sanitizing my hands. I have the portable sanitiser that I keep in my pocket. Amid Covid-19, I've learned to spend more time with my loved ones and practise more self-love. Before the pandemic, I was caught up with working and putting in extra shifts to get more money every month. I lost myself chasing money, I had no time to check up on my loved ones. I didn't even have time for myself, all I did was mostly being at work. I felt like I was part of the furniture since I was there six times a week and even seven days at some point. 

I failed at balancing my work and personal life. When the country went to the level 5 lockdown towards the end of March 2020, that's when I got exposed that I had nothing else to do rather than work. I even dumped the hobbies that I had just to focus on my occupation and provide for my family and myself. Who was going to pay the rent? Who was going to buy the food? Who was going to pay for all the utilities? I've taken up the role of being a sole provider at home and I had to do it all. When I've lost the job, that's when I felt like I lost my voice within myself and my family. What even made me more furious was that I lost my love for blogging too.

I can't believe that I've been away from blogging for about 14 months. That's just crazy and I've been constantly thinking about what I'll write about as I had writer's block. I think I've overcome it by posting this piece which is filled with emotions. I barely share what's on my mind since I usually dissect a topic or what's happening in the entertainment industry. Things will have to change now for the better, as I will have to share different thoughts on my mind in the hope it will touch someone's life out there. One thing I've realized since I've been away from blogging is that I love writing and I will do whatever it takes to become better at it. What's exciting is that I am now doing this on a full-time basis, and foresee nothing but success. I am open to collaborations with different people and brands. I'm looking forward to doing sponsored posts too and even writing services. Please do email: scarcitysa@gamil for any business inquiries.

I just want to grow this blog and hopefully, it becomes one of the best in the world. Let's go on a blogging journey together. I hope you enjoy your stay on The Blog That Rocks!
