Adults argue about the shot
whether they should or should not
we arrogant adults apparently forgot
it’s our children we put on a deadly spot
children back to school sure sounds great
but first — roll up their sleeves and vaccinate
then we dense adults can disagree argue and debate
but protect the innocent before it’s just too damned late

very well spoken rob, i hear your voice clearly in this, well done!
Thank you Phillip.
Your voice rings strong and true!! Amen.
But nobody really hears… 🙁
Amen
It’s all madness Ken!
I see a theme here, Rob! Have you confronted a lot of ppl who are not vaccinated where you live?
Yours,
David
Yes David, I speak out about their selfish and dangerous attitude. Yes, you have rights over your body, but they exit simultaneously with your responsibility to the society in which you choose to live. Not an easy balance to keep for some I guess. But in a pandemic, if you choose to live inside society, then you must temper your personal actions with societal safety. We have the right to fire a gun. But not down main street at rush hour. If all you care about is what you perceive to be your unalienable right not to be vaccinated, in times of a global plague — then go live alone in the woods… problem solved!
So true, Rob! Your voice rings loud and clear. But the powers that be are deaf.
They powers that be are thinking and acting powerlessly, and I understand the pressure that this ridiculous divide in our country, puts thrm under. But given we have vaccines, an effort made between now and December, to role out vaccines for school age children — then you enact the same requirements that currently exist for children to be vaccinated before attending school, to include COVID vaccine — then we can go back to school in January safely for the whole society. We were more realistic 20 years ago than we are today, regarding the necessity for children to be vaccinated to protect their, and the community’s health. We have simply gone bat shit mad as a society. Our global society truly seems to be coming to a major upheaval, even total collapse. It will start here in America, and domino around the globe. I am glad I am reasonably near death. I cry for my grandson Alex. I hope against hope that I am wrong.
Yes, shut up and get shot! End of argument.
Yes Ingrid, yes! 🙂
I hear your voice. Very well done!
Wish this country heard and understood the truth!
I hope that everyone actually takes the shot… too much suffering already for the ignorant.
Agree Bjorn.
There has been too much suffering and loss for people to take it lightly now. Get vaccinated.. yes. Fabulous write, Rob 🙂
Thank you Sanaa! 🙂
