WASHINGTON: With the positive Covid case joining through 52,000 per day, the United States once again surpassed India (less than 40,000 cases per day according to the official number) in the midst of regrets and charges that grow among some anti-vaxxer but also the resistance between skeptics diehards vaccine.
The alarm bell rang again after a leap of 170 percent in cases in the US for the past two weeks.
Experts warn that resistance continues and opposes between anti-vaxxers leads to what is now called “pandemic of unvaccination”.
Three cases in the past week highlight the political and ideological battles that have infected the debate on a pandemic.
In one, the leading radio host who once wrote that he would not get a vaccine because his chances died from the virus “far less than one percent,” finally got Covid-19, for pro-vaxxers ridicule.
He is now hospitalized and in a ventilator, struggling for his life.
“I’m not an anti-vaxax My personal health risk.
If you have a underlying health problem, you might need to get a vaccine.
If you are not at high risk of dying from Covid then you ‘might be safer not getting it, “Radio Tennessee Host Phil Valentine said last December.
He also mocked the vaccine with the parodi version of The Beatles’ Song “Taxman,” called “Vaxman”.
Now his family asks for prayer for him, inviting a response that is not sympathetic to fate.
“Sorry, there was no prayer for Phil.
He underestimated the virus.
He mocked others.
God taught him lesson,” One criticism tweeted in responding to the #Prayforphil hashtag elsewhere, a Ma’am Alabama who lost his 28-year-old son to Covid -19 says not getting a vaccine is the biggest regret.
“Need watching it.
Children die and I suffer from the Covid effect for us to realize we need a vaccine.
We will not be vaccinated when we have the opportunity and regret so much now,” Mother Curt Carpenter Christy told Local media after he lost a two-month battle to the virus.
“If Curt is here, he will make him.
The mission to encourage everyone to get vaccination.
Cayla, his sister, and I’m doing that mission in his memory,” he added.
But even when Covid went berserk through skeptics, some of the victims on the right remained challenging.
Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins revealed Sunday night that he, his wife and his son all had Covid-19, the first two for the second time.
“Becca and I have Covid before, from the start, in January 2020, before the world really knew what it was,” he said at the social media post.
“, This is our second experience with a biological attack on the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) Virus.” It was not clear whether Higgins and his family were vaccinated.
Alabama and Louisiana, both the Republican fort, have the lowest level of vaccination in the US.
