24-year-old who needed double lung transplant wishes he'd been vaccinated for COVID-19

36. I'm not a medical person, just someone

who sometimes needs to remind myself not to lose perspective and not to get too judgmental. It's easy to do. I don't feel any sympathy for people like the Jan 6 insurrectionists or the people who urged them on and continue to spout lies about it. I feel no sympathy for Proud Boys, Klan members, neo Nazis, or cops who murder citizens. Definitely not for TFG and his crime family.

I don't feel concern for the people who aggressively deny the seriousness of covid and defiantly refuse the vaccines for political reasons.

But I do feel bad for ordinary people who are trying to make good decisions, but are confused by disinformation and don't understand well enough how vaccines and the immune system work to sort facts from lies. A lot of them are not Trumpers or even political. They just don't have good sources of factual information to counter the lies. It's our job to counter the lies and go after the liars. Not just for the people who believe them, but for ourselves and the rest of the planet to defeat this virus and stop the development of new variants.
