Wow! What a Year!!

Early March, 2020 was really the first idea that Covid was truly a worldwide health problem. Isolation, or what they called "quarantine", started mid-March and was only supposed to be a couple weeks to "slow the curve".

Then weeks and weeks of conflicting information and suggestions made us start to question... "What's really going on here?!" I went through Medical Assistant training in 2015. I LOVED it. One of my favorite units was about the immune system. So when this all started happening, I had some clues as to what viruses do and how to control spread and symptoms. I also knew our bodies were created to fend off viruses. This "new" outbreak also spurred more questions... that were not being answered. Then we found out that it was likely a genetically manipulated virus. Which created MORE questions. It's been a year of a LOT of education for those that like to ask questions.

So, here we are a year later and many of those questions have been answered, but many have not. The frustrating part is the reaction to the questions. The media and politicians have chosen their favorite doctors and scientists. If you still have questions, you become a problem for them.

I have become SO frustrated by those put in authority over others (political figures, bosses, schools... even spouses, parents and grandparents) that are bullying people into getting ANY "maxine", but especially the new experimental med therapy!! 😡 I was listening to a podcast yesterday and heard something that will resonate with most of us here... ❤ They were talking about the bullying and being made to feel we CAN'T ask questions. As a survivor of spousal abuse, this quote really struck me...!! 💪

"Ask questions. If you're in a situation... I feel inclined to say one more time... If you're in a situation where asking the question is met with hostility and anger and bullying... Then, to me, that's an indication you're not in a "safe space". - Meeke Addison.

TRUTH!! NO?!?! 

NOTE: YES, I know "maxine" is the wrong word. But since so many platforms are flagging certain words and phrases... I have decided to be a bit cryptic.
