Vaccinated – To Be or Not to Be

Some people might call it common sense, to use a term that, when invoked in conversation, is usually in the context of discussing something we feel is so painfully obvious that it ought to be commonly — that is, universally — understood, but isn’t.

We’ve got an asset that many places in the world are crying out for. But its existence has spawned a tremendous divide between common sense and nonsense. 

Common sense: Vaccination is a healthcare issue. Treating it as a political issue is nonsense. (It’s no more a political issue than the question “Is water wet?”) 

Knowing someone in the vicinity has a deadly, contagious disease, wouldn’t common sense suggest staying away? 

And if there were a repellant for a deadly, contagious disease that is rampant in our midst, wouldn’t it be common sense to use it?

FYI:

In a recent survey from Homedit, 44% of respondents who reported contracting COVID-19 over the past year are convinced they got it from going to work.

And it may surprise employers to learn — especially given the attitudes reported in news and talk shows — that 70% of respondents felt employees should have to tell their employers whether or not they’ve elected to be vaccinated and 72% felt employers should require employees to provide proof of vaccination in order to come back to the office.
