The Dilemma of the Unvaccinated - Mob Mentality

Some “pro-vaxers” may have been legitimately uninformed or scared to blindly follow health guidelines and government mandates without question. But the mob mentality to demonize the unvaccinated and gaslight society into thinking we were the problem crossed a potentially unforgivable line.

The Dilemma of the Unvaccinated

We Won't Forget. They celebrated our deaths and danced on our graves

Guest essay by the California-based Unity Project

With recent calls for “Pandemic Amnesty” from the groups who destroyed lives and businesses, closed schools, stripped away your freedoms and turned family, friends and neighbors against each other, the unvaccinated and truth tellers find themselves in a pickle.

Morality and civility could argue that we should forgive those who vilified us for choosing medical sovereignty, non-compliance with unconstitutional mandates, and simply questioning the narrative, but it’s not that simple. Some “pro-vaxers” may have been legitimately uniformed or scared to blindly follow health guidelines and government mandates without question. But the mob mentality to demonize the unvaccinated and gaslight society into thinking we were the problem crossed a potentially unforgivable line.

Making the rounds online is an LA Times article from earlier this year titled Mocking anti-vaxxers’ COVID deaths is ghoulish, yes — but may be necessary. The article URL is even titled “why-shouldnt-we-dance-on-the-graves-of-anti-vaxxers.”

The Carnival, The Lady, and The Lumpia! - Part 1

I know, I know.  It has been FOR-EV-ER since I posted to my blog.  Needless to say, the high school years of homeschooling and coordinating dual enrollment classes and assignments with/for my children (young adults now) have been a lot.  It has left little time for personal enrichment and hobbies! We're holding on, though!  It's SENIOR year!

This weekend, with the Veteran's Day holiday, we planned to go to the November carnival at the local Catholic church/school down the road.  The weather was lovely--despite the recent tropical storm-turned-hurricane recently (Nicole). Anyway, we made plans to actually leave the house! Can you believe it??  

Once there, we did the rounds...what rides looked safe and fun?  What food was interesting?  How many tickets would we need for the evening? We needed 20 tickets for the girls' rides. No problem.  There was a special: 18 tickets for $20. Save $2.50.  Cool.  Simple! OK hubby, please order the 18-pack plus 2 extra tickets to get the "special" plus the 2 extra we needed.  Simple, right? Nope.  Not simple at all. I think the ticket seller was overtired or in need of a calculator.  He simply could not understand what we were trying to do.  No problem.  There was a Volunteer Worker nearby, and she intervened.  All set!  20 tickets for rides, let's go!

By the time the sun was down (6pm), the people started flocking to the carnival, and the lines were exceptionally long all of the sudden.  We stood in line for the Ferris Wheel.  With COVID social distancing ingrained in everyone, people were finally back to the 80's bubble of 3-5 feet.  Ahhh.  The 80s. A time when people kept their distance and didn't talk directly into your face. Anyway, with everyone nicely spread out, the line went on for over 100 feet, crossing over a go-cart drive area and a walking path for pedestrians.  Jumbled, weaving people filtered through the groups here and there.  The bright lights from the Ferris Wheel were friendly and inviting in the dark sky, but the strobe from the actual sign was starting to get to me.  Yikes!  Who was in charge of that seizure-creating light display!

This wasn't the first 'safety' issue we'd noticed at the carnival.  Earlier, while looking at all of the rides, there was a family pushing a wheel-chaired loved one, and there were so many cords and lines crisscrossing the walking paths that the wheelchair was bouncing across clumps of wires in 3-foot sections.  There was one time when Hubby had to stop and help them navigate across the pile of cords by assisting with the lifting of the wheelchair.  I realize the world does not revolve around the handicapped, but come on.  There are some basic issues people have today, and when you are trying to create a family-friendly environment, you have to know your audience.  No strobe lights using LEDs.  They can cause seizures in adults, and they turn autistic kids into zombies. No exposed electrical wires and cords on the ground where people are walking, wheeling, or caning their way through the carnival.  Put mats or cord covers over those things!  That's dangerous.

Yes...like this.  Mats!

Well, I digress!  Back to the Ferris Wheel ride.  We adults (Hubby and me) stepped out of line to let the kids get ready for their assigned pod on the Wheel.  As they got in, sat down, and got locked in, Hub and I stood there assessing the crowd.  Everyone seemed pretty calm.  There was an employee vehicle parked nearby, and it had an 8x12-inch sticker on the back window: Mother of A$$holes.  Really? That prompted conversations about the mother...a mother would never call her kids that, what did that mean about them, what was 'the American family' coming to, what constituted a joke and what didn't, and so on.  Anyway, the lights were starting to make my mind short-circuit, so we moved to the other side of the Wheel to wait for the girls to get off the ride. 

When there, Hub needed to sit down, so he decided to wait on a nearby bleacher system.  I stood by the Wheel, watching an energized 5-year-old run circles around a drainage grate in the grass.  He would run two full circles around the grate.  Stop.  Sway a little.  Look around.  Lock eyes on his parents standing near the exit sign of the Wheel, and then start a new running cycle.  Eventually, he gave up on his independent game of tag and rejoined his parents as they waited for his sister and a friend to get off the Wheel.  My girls were on the next pod, and so we joined Daddy on the bleachers.  

The next hour consisted of people-watching and riding more rides.  

Finally, it was time to make decisions about the possible food options. THEY HAD LUMPIA! Yes!  They had LUMPIA!

_____________________________________

Oh....I bet you are wondering about The Lady.  Don't worry.  I'll get to her.  She comes in at the end of the night. This isn't even really the real part about lumpia in my story.  That will come after The Lady.  Just stick with me.  

_____________________________________

Since it was a Catholic church hosting the carnival, there was a large food section sponsored by members of the church.  They had hot dogs, pretzels, beer, wine, and lumpia stands!  

The lumpia caught my attention, and neither Hubby nor the girls had ever had lumpia...so I told them my story of lumpia.

My family was stationed in Italy during the 80s, and so we had to raise funds a little differently than regular American students living in the United States.  When our youth group wanted to visit Berlin--before the wall was down--and go to Switzerland for a Revival, it was a 'lumpia sale' that helped to raise the funds. When our high school band wanted to get to the Naval Air Station Sigonella--an Italian Air Force base and a U.S. Navy installation at Italian Air Force Base Sigonella in Sicily, Italy--for a band competition, it was a 'lumpia sale' that helped make it possible.  Lumpia was a favorite item to sell to raise funds.  The Filipino population was abundant on base, and those women were quite skilled at making, storing, and selling lumpia!  Whenever it was time for fundraising, we were all quite happy to contribute to the cause by purchasing a plate or two of lumpia and dipping sauce. Unlike egg rolls, which often tear up the roof of my mouth, lumpia is smooth, crisp, and flakey.  Ahh!  

So when I saw that lumpia stand at the Catholic church carnival, I knew I had to have some.  And yet...we are very choosey about eating at food stands and roach coaches.  So, we decided to forgo the lumpia with the understanding that there would be a food delivery by 3pm the next day filled with pork, wraps, veggies, and garlic so that we could make our own lumpia at home.  (Gotta love Walmart+!)

As the girls went off to ride another spinning contraption, I sat down, logged into Walmart+, and arranged for the delivery.

Understanding Your Reactions to Life's Triggers

Are you Taking Responsibility for Yourself?

After reading Trevor Getz’ article “A Usable History of Disease” in relation to the 2020 pandemic and how people have reacted to it, I began thinking about the social and political unrest that has stemmed from the nationwide lockdowns and the loss of personal freedom and choice that Americans often take for granted. These changes have resulted in extreme divisions in American society, and as a result, we can see those in power using—yes, USING—this disaster to promote their own agendas.

As Getz states, the “balance between personal liberty and collective responsibility has come up repeatedly in the modern era,” and questioning this responsibility has exploded into areas most would never have thought to venture in earlier years. “Countries that have handled this pandemic the best have the strongest sense of collective thinking but also more authoritarian state structures” (Vann); however, “In the United States, at least, we tend to have a very strong sense of personal liberty, but less of a sense of collectivism” (Getz).

With the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw the American people reacting to the pandemic in ways that ranged from scapegoating and hoarding to pulling together to support each other. Similarly, these feelings have spilled over into political and social realms—sometimes in an antisocial and threatening way—in 2020 and now into 2021. Stress, anxiety, fear of the unknown, and general loss of life cause people to react, say things, and blame people that they would not normally do in peaceful situations. Before you jump on the ‘panic wagon’ that has come with the COVID pandemic, really think about who or what is directing your views, thoughts, and actions.

Questions to ponder:

1. Where does this legacy of Americans having a strong sense of personal liberty and less of a sense of collectivism come from, and has it hurt or helped us in responding to this pandemic?
2. During this volatile time, where is your focus: self or community? Should this be your focus? Are your thoughts logical or should you assess your emotional reactions during this time of change?

Note: All of us have been impacted in one way or another by the COVID-19 outbreak. We're doing everything we can to keep learning accessible throughout the pandemic. Learn more about those efforts here.

So, you’re a kid stuck at home and bored silly when you could be with classmates enjoying world history class. Or, you’re a teacher whose plans for the whole year have been upended. Or you’re a parent scrambling to provide care and activities for a child who would, under normal circumstances, be in school. (Or, you’re a teacher and a parent trying to do BOTH.) All because of a virus that might seem pretty scary but can also feel unreal, and hard to imagine. Is it really necessary to close the schools?

Balancing Responsibilities of Life

While I have taken a break from posting on this blog...I have not forgotten about it.  Here are some thoughts I have to share...

The balance between personal liberty and collective responsibility has come up repeatedly in the modern era and questioning this responsibility has exploded into areas most would never have thought to venture in earlier years. With the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw people reacting to the pandemic in ways that ranged from scapegoating and hoarding to pulling together to support each other. Similarly, these feelings have spilled over into political and social realms—sometimes in an antisocial and threatening way—in 2020 and now into 2021. Stress, anxiety, fear of the unknown, and general loss of life cause people to react, say things, and blame people that they would not normally do in peaceful situations.
