Because I visit my brother in a long-term care residence, and because the government of Ontario has made these residences a priority in the vaccination program, I was offered the possibility of getting the Pfizer vaccine. I got the first dose last week.
This morning, I went for yet another
COVID-19 test and jokingly told the pharmacist who administered it, “I had no
secondary effect except for those cute tiny green antennas growing in the back
of my head.” His response was, “Don’t put that on social medias. The
vaccination rate would go down by 10%!” It is, in fact, amazing to see how
skittish and how polarized people are on the vaccination issue.
The pharmacist’s comment got me thinking: what could I write on social medias that would lower by 10% unbridled greed in our society, indifference to millions of people who live in poverty, the painfully slow pace of implementing effective climate change policies, the inhumane isolation of the sick and elderly, systematic racism and discrimination… You can help me complete the list here…
