"To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.”
— Bertrand Russell
Fear is not a motivational strategy for vaccine uptake; data and knowledge are far better. Here is just a little mid-week positive energy for those already vaccinated (with 2 doses)
and a bit of motivation for those still sitting on the fence. The source of data is from Ontario, Canada. (covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…) This isn't about masking, ventilation, waning antibody levels, or hygiene theater; this is vaccination at work.
Just look at these attached pictures and realize that if you have made the right decision to vaccinate yourself and your family, you are safe.
If you remain unvaccinated in an age group that is eligible, you incur all the risk. If you have vaccinated your family, any younger children around you benefit. It really Is as simple as that.

1/ Things are better as we wait for our smell and taste to return to normal. Apparently, my post about coming down with a couple of breakthrough cases was taken by many as a rallying cry that vaccines don’t work. Of course, my view is the opposite; but I do realize my bias.
2/ I live my professional life looking at the worst-case scenario, hoping to predict the decline in physiology early enough to intervene.
3/ I don’t know how often it occurs amongst healthcare workers, but the prevalence of the fear of uncontrollable illness blossoming from seemingly innocuous starts is high within those that work in critical care.
