[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People forget how many people died or suffered long term health issues prior to the vaccine. I know some of those people and they weren’t all old or overweight. I think once the vaccine was widely available there should have been a greater push to get life back to normal. [/quote]

I live in Illinois and the governor issued a directive about "reopening" in May 2020 that said we couldn't go back to normal (in person school and events) until a vaccine was available. A friend asked me how long that would take and I was dismayed and said at least two years. Then miraculously it was available within months and we STILL didn't go back to normal. The teacher's union rep at our school board meeting sniffed that the teachers wouldn't feel safe teaching in person until every CHILD was also vaccinated. And down the street the Catholic school had full in-person school with masks and when asked why they could do it, they said "they're smaller" as if that means anything. The Catholic school is not much smaller, it has 350 students!
Societal trust has been wiped out here. My sister lives in Japan and in spring 2020 the government was giving them reasonable advice about keeping safe from Covid: lose excess weight, take vitamins, keep gatherings outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine. Meanwhile here, the government was closing beaches, playgrounds and parks and I got admonished for walking down the sidewalk unmasked in my leafy, uncrowded suburb. I work at a hospital and we were made to pose for a picture "We come to work, do your part by staying home" when telling people to get exercise would have helped them more than sitting in the house.[/quote]
