Coronavirus - Take two - Action!

[Ninurta]

This probably won't be anywhere on the news, but the nursing home where our relatives are staying gave the residents their first lot of covid shots last week and 7 of them have died, including one of our relatives. Hubby is beyond shocked, as most of the ones that died seemed to be in reasonable shape beforehand. (The home has a webpage that updates daily so that relatives can see what their loved ones have been up to.)
 It's not a big place, so the staff are understandably shocked and upset. Don't know which VAX they were given either.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

People who become institutionalized often lose contact with the daily doings of the outside world, and therefore cannot be reasonably expected to make informed decisions. It's up to the staff to inform them of pros and cons before a decision is reached, and the catch with that is that they often are not being very well informed, either, with the media picking and choosing what information (or, as is more often the case, propaganda) is to be released.


We are all, to some extent, flying blind here, and I blame mostly the media narrative for that circumstance. My mom and her husband are in their 80's. They've both already had covid, which didn't affect them very much at all. Now that the vaccine is here, they've both elected to take it in spite of the fact that they have already had the virus, and are therefore already immune due to the antibodies it has already created in them. My sister, who is a nurse, and I have both tried to explain to them that they don't need any more untested poison in their systems because they already have immunity, but to no avail. They've already taken the first shot, and I'm just sitting around biting my nails, waiting to see what happens when they take the second one.

They are grown up, and have been repeatedly informed. There really isn't anything else I can do.
