Covid19 - When things get so ridiculous

 Never has a medical and health problem been so politicised to the extent that the well being of the people been compromised to achieve political ends. By now those who are able would have read both sides of the narrative about the effectiveness of the different types of vaccines and their adverse effects that may lead to serious illnesses and even death.

Despite the fact that none of the vaccines has come up on top where there is a consensus that one is better in effectiveness and safety, supposedly responsible people are still taking the position that one should be used and not the other and refused to admit that the other could be equally good or even better. They have made their choice for their own interest or whatever, that die, die other people must accept their dictates to use only one type of vaccine.

The medical and scientific community are split as to which vaccine is the better choice, but the politicians are so darn clear, can you believe that, and adamant that their choice is the right choice. To make matter worse, their favourite choice has been proven to be dangerous, with some scientists calling it poison, with no proven track record, and still experimental and good only for emergency use, and its possible side effects waiting to happen.

How callous and audacious can such people be, to in some ways coerced or pressure others to accept their controversial choice of vaccines? How much do they know when the scientists and medical professions are still in disagreement, without a clear consensus that a particular vaccine is safe and effective? How dangerous is their position when the contrary view is that their favoured vaccine could even be unsafe and could kill? The benefits outweigh the risk? Is this a reasonable and acceptable statement when the risk is serious illness or death?

The people have a right to choose which vaccine they preferred to inject into their bodies. This is not about injesting chicken rice or nasi lemak. This is about injecting something that can take your life away. Now, who in his right mind, when he is not a medical expert, would dare to pressure people to inject controversial and dangerous substance into their body? Getting vaccinated in normal cases is a good call. Telling people to get vaccinated cannot be wrong, but not in this instance when the vaccines are not only controversial and unsafe but also a political football.

Yes, I also have two questions to ask before I listen to anyone on their recommendations? Today, other than the illiterate seniors, many of us are better informed and educated than the preacher. So, the first question to ask, is the preacher smarter and wiser than you? Two, is the preacher more well informed than you, a medical professional or just another pretender whose little knowledge acquired is from hearsay?

For your own good, please use your head and question whoever is asking you to inject something that is questionable, not just about its effectiveness, but also if it is safe to your health. 

And for goodness sake, if you are not a medical expert, do not ask or even coerced people to inject something into their body that could kill them. If you do that, you are being irresponsible, and ultimately responsible to the death of the person that listened to you.

At this point in time the vaccines are not only controversial, but subject to too much politiking that what is good or bad has been so muddled by political and business interests that the truth is furthest from the truth. What could be a terrible decision is for one to be injected with an experimental unproven vaccine when the reason is to open the economy, the priority is economics not your health?

The least a responsible govt can do is to allow the people the choice of vaccines as the people are not fools to have cotton or wool pulled over their eyes. This is not a case of what to eat or what to drink. This is a choice that could mean being alive or dead. The govt is not right to make this choice for the people. It is the life and well being of the people and it must be made by them, an educated choice, not a forced choice.

The more unfit and unqualified people are coming out to put pressure on the innocent people to get vaccinated by a vaccine that is anything but good and safe, the more suspicious one must be on the intent and purpose of the preachers and the goodness of the vaccine. 

If the recommended vaccine is really that good, there should not be so much controversy and unhappiness and reluctance on its use. When the experts in the medical and scientific community are of two minds, the non professionals should not be smart alecs.

Let the people have a choice on what vaccines to use. It is unacceptable, immoral, unethical, criminal to use political power to force people to accept the vaccine you want them to use and disclaim liability should they fall seriously ill or die. Remove the disclaimer if the govt wants to force this on the people and be held responsible for this action. You do not have the full knowledge to know what you choose is safe for the people. You may be morally and criminally wrong in your choice. You may be withholding the right vaccine from the people instead. 

If you are that sure, remove all the non liability clauses and accept full responsibility if you are wrong, if people die or suffer from adverse effects within 3 months after taking the vaccine.
