The delta variant is here, and persistent ignorance has given it life and room to thrive. Delta adores those anti-vaxxers, especially that younger age group, for they are easy targets, flaunting safety protocols as they so very often do. Once delta latches onto a nonbeliever, it can spread so very easily to this crowd as they gather with one another, giving delta greater strength in numbers.
But wait for its favorite part. Delta sees one of those smart vaccinated folks standing near its unbelieving host. Aha! Another carrier to hop onto and into. Whoopee! Maybe this new host is protected, but surely they soon will hug their children or grandchildren, not yet eligible for the preventive vaccine. Delta licks its spiny lips with glee and knows an opportunity to live and thrive even longer.
And so it goes. Ignorance has lost all its bliss these days as, because of anti-vaxxers’ ignorance, the rest of us must return to masking up and washing our hands. Makes this human lose her kindness and understanding cool.
