My Doctors rant this week came a bit late but still as necessary. I m glad it came at all.
This rant is not to go against anyone, govt or individual, you must know that you are free to do what you must as long as it stays within the confines of the law as it affects others.
Vaccinations didnt start today, and with the latest of inventions in the medical field, there are more potentials out there that may have been introduced and many which have practically saved lives.
I must say some of us are still alive and having a good one because of some vaccines we all got as babies and some vaccines are even saving adults.
We must try to consider that if all we have to defend a viral dote is a vaccine to stand as proof against the nefarious harm, it should suffice, however, the public stage and media subtractions has made this particular vaccine not to have a fair hearing as many still are against it.
In this rant I really want to make an attempt to draw attention and possibly a lot of disagreeing, however let it be done with fair comments. Sharing what you know and believe as I have mine.
In some countries I hear there have being exchanges of blows between vaxers and antivaxers. When I saw that on TV, I quickly remembered some Zombie movies where something similar had happened. People were in between taking the vaccine or recovering from a disease they are not sure of. Or even avoiding it with safety precautions, but how far can that go?
In a way it seemed like a case of the devil you know, being better than the angel you don't. People do not trust this vaccines an this is because of what they heard, read and saw on social media. The truth of these I really have no claim to, however, I have seen too many that really do not need any form of grey matter to rule out.
In this age of advancement and civilization, technology has proven to be a catalyst for improved learning and invention and so we can't be held down to ransom by a disease and then lock our minds to the possibilities of a remedy, because of fear.
So What did you hear?
Well.. I often wonder too, so I asked a few of my unvaccinated patients what they heard about the vaccine and why they hadn't gotten it. Here are a few of their responses.
I heard the ones in Nigeria are fake, since they were brought free.
I heard the vaccines will kill anyone who takes it in 2 years
That vaccine is the mark of the beast, the AntiChrist will use it.
The Covid doesn't need a vaccine, it will go by itself
I heard Africans are immune to the virus.
I heard the virus was caused by 5G
I heard the complications of the vaccine are far worse than the infection itself.
I heard its not safe in pregnancy
I heard it causes blindness, and deafness
The most shocking response I got from a friend was..SOMETHING MUST KILL A MAN. I had to re examine this guy for any suicidal intentions. But HW was only joking.
What exactly did you hear or know?
PLEASE SHARE
I also want to call on those who did get the vaccination, can you be kind enough to share your experience?
For me I had some malaise subsequently, lasting about 2 days and was fine.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
Would we be questioning this vaccine we all probably prayed for if the Covid had been a bit more severe than it actually was. (Not to say that it wasn't.. I was a victim as well, glad I survived it, I was probably even reinfected after attending to a patient who actually had it and wasn't promptly taking to the appropriate facility).
More so, for the lives that were lost, a lot of loved ones, friends of mine and even family who could have still been alive and doing good if the vaccines, any of them had shown up at the time.
We definitely would not be questioning the ray of hope. My say though
But to my biggest surprise, the world is divided on what we thought was hope.

Aside the various theories I saw, I believe so much that religion, lack of awareness and media helped to distort the perception of people.
