I’ve forgiven. But I haven’t forgotten. You probably haven’t, either. It was five years ago, this week, when I went into the studio to record the …
5 YEARS LATER…
Note: I didn’t write the blog above. It is a remembrance of the Covid years. I am sharing it because it’s so well written. I have many Covid posts on my blog if you’re interested. Just search in the search box.
I’ll never forget how the world changed in 2020. The division and the hysteria and the fear . I’ll never forget all the races being virtual and people running wearing masks. I’ll never forget the gaslighting and denial of people dying from the vaccines. I’ll never forget the “failure” of the national healthcare system that turned out to be woefully unprepared for a crisis .
I’ll never forget the feeling of being so confused by the ones who complied with the unscientific , ever changing narrative. Why couldn’t they see what some of us could see? Nothing made sense . We chose not to suspend our own thinking and “trust the science”.
Our story. Our COVID Experience
After going to the hospital with the Delta variant, my husband was given two rounds of Remdesivir instead of the known effective monoclonal antibodies, and now he has kidney cancer . And my mom got multiple vaccines and boosters and then she lost her voice and died from ALS like many others.
Others died from heart failure. Mothers miscarried. Post menopausal women had periods. Many others live with long Covid and cancer and autoimmune flare ups after getting Covid or the vaccine.
I will never believe that there isn’t more to this story .
Blue Skies and Green Pastures 
I’ll never forget, either! I also pray everyday that my worst fears are not confirmed. I take heart in the fact that our bodies are, “wonderfully and fearfully made.” Over the centuries we’ve abused them in a myriad of ways and they have adapted and healed. I do however, believe the US gov owes us an explanation and some genuine research into the damage done, so we can be honest about it and perhaps even put our minds to rest. What we can imagine is always going to be bigger and scarier than the truth. Denial and cover ups are never a good thing.
I was thinking about that the other day when I read about Gavin Newsom and his podcast. He’s obviously running for president. We were living in California in 2020 and he was a disaster. He had a single paddle boarder on the ocean arrested. Beaches and playgrounds were closed. He closed down restaurants, then told them they could create outdoor seating. Restaurant owners spent thousands for seating outside. Then they bought food to fill their kitchens and Gavin changed his mind and closed them down again. Many went out of business. The playground equipment in our park was wrapped up with yellow crime tape. My daughter was living in Berkeley and was so terrified when they announced the shutdown that she drove that to be with us in Palm Springs. In the meantime, Gavin was eating indoors at an expensive restaurant with at least 20 of his big pharma friends.
That’s terrible and there are so many similar stories of other elected officials.
