I don't care

I know that many of you get freaked out when you are out and about and see someone enter a store that you are frequenting and they are not wearing a mask. While others look at people wearing a mask and wonder if they are probably not vaccinated. It has come to this point in the pandemic where we all have trust issues.

We all know at least one person that refuses to get the vaccine shot(s) because they have heard too much negativity and fear what might happen to them in the future. They certainly have safety issues on their mind. Others have gotten the shot and proceeded to live their lives. There is also another group that received the shot and will question anyone that hasn’t gotten the jab.

I not sure what has triggered people into being the enforcers of masks or vaccines but they are certainly out there spouting the latest from their favorite ‘expert’ on the subject even if the expert merely has a journalism or law degree. There are plenty of actual doctors that have been forced into silence because their research and findings don’t fit the narrative.

In the last couple of weeks the WSU football coach has been in the headlines stating that he hasn’t received the vaccine and since he didn’t was unable to attend the Pac 12 football preseason meetings. Coach Rolovich did his interview from Pullman. This made a lot of people mad because they think that Coach Rolovich is somehow going to be a super spreader whenever he goes to a football game and shakes hands or fist bumps another coach or a player.

It is amazing how many people want him to resign because he hasn’t been injected with a vaccine that has not been FDA approved at this point in time. The companies that make these vaccines have been excluded from any lawsuits that might arise if the vaccines are deemed unsafe so maybe there are a bunch of people that are waiting for more data concerning the safety of these vaccines. Is that a crime?

If Coach Rolo is actually forced to get the vaccine by his employer WSU I would think that he should also get in writing that if any medical issue that may happen to him in the next 10 years that could be traced back to the vaccine means he could sue WSU for forcing him to take the vaccine.

For some reason a lot of people are not allowed the freedom to make a decision that they feel is in their best interest. We have heard enough of masks don’t work and masks work so why not wear two or three just to be on the safe side. I’ve seen masks that are really dirty and some that look like they are covering the face only to see a mesh that allows for breathing which also means air to escape. These dirty masks that kids are wearing can’t be good for them down the road. But as long as you look like you have a face covering that is good enough.

Coach Rolo is a football coach and the practices and games are played outside where things are much safer than inside where the virus can stick around instead of dissipating into the atmosphere or at least that would seem to be the outcome.

Too many people have become experts on this pandemic and have no clue what they are saying even the experts have stumbled with their recommendations. I’m not an expert by any means but I know that fresh air was the best thing to have and a lot of it. The time spent outside is important to one’s health and well-being. This summer has been difficult because of the heat and lately detrimental because of the smoke but fresh air is still the best thing for you.

I support Coach Rolo in having the intestinal fortitude to stand up for his beliefs and not give into those that believe one way is the best way and the only way. The last time I looked this is still a free country and a person has the right to say yes or no and not have to give a reason why. I don’t care what the so called experts say because they are often wrong more than they are right.
