Dear Editor,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that persons are questioning the new vaccines. After all, it\u2019s human nature to question the unknown. I remember many years ago when Facebook and WhatsApp started, the older folks and even the religious society said it was the mark of the beast and thus began to question these platforms.<\/p>\n

However, ten years later and they are the media of choice to get the message of Christ out. This proves that given time and information people will come around! Therefore, the reasons people aren\u2019t being vaccinated should be noted and addressed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

One of the biggest reasons people aren\u2019t taking the jab is fear. Whether we like it or not, bad news sells. If we compare the number of persons who watch uplifting stories about COVID-19 to those who have watched the doom and gloom videos; the winner will surely be doom and gloom.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The side effects of taking the jab are playing on the minds of many people. Some fears expressed by the people of this nation are: \u201cme na tek um me need fi have children\u201d, \u201cthem go trigger a chip\u201d and \u201cit go make me bleed to death\u201d. Fear impacts our thinking and decision-making in negative ways which leaves us susceptible to intense emotions and impulsive reactions.<\/p>\n

To lessen the irrational decisions, leaders should keep addressing all elements that fuel the fear. One plausible solution is to have persons who have had pleasant experiences share in [official] public spaces.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Another reason why persons aren\u2019t taking the jab is as a result of deleterious journalism and rumors. Currently circulating on social media is a misleading article about the new guidelines given to vaccinated persons.<\/p>\n

The article painted a picture that vaccinated persons are the ones mainly spreading the delta variant. When in fact the CDC simply said that vaccinated persons who become infected can spread the virus. One would think that is common sense right? However, what this article failed to mention is that CDC said that over 90% of persons hospitalized were unvaccinated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Despite this phenomenal information, some journalists choose to run the news that feeds the fear of being vaccinated. Why? It sells more. Antiguans love a mix up<\/em> so rumors will always spread. It was rather disappointing to me that persons were spreading rumors about persons being killed by vaccines. It begs the question of how they know that it killed the persons? Just because they took it? \u201cThere are two vaccinated persons who died and of course the vaccine kill them\u201d <\/em>is the word on the street. However, this was furthest from the truth! One died from diabetes and the other because of his heart. In that space of time, I lost my godfather, a mentor (to the virus), and two other members of church all of whom were unvaccinated. F<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

urthermore, we need to stop acting like taking the vaccine is a death sentence and\/or that it is a cure. We need consistency and accuracy in reporting and accountability on the part of citizens where the sharing of false information is concerned.<\/p>\n

Aside from pernicious journalism, there is also the idea that vaccines are the cure. Vaccines aren\u2019t cures or an immediate fix. Our society needs to understand that the vaccines aid in a fight and doesn\u2019t win the war. It\u2019s rather ludacris that we compare a vaccine that has been here for at least 30 years to something that has been newly released. If persons go on to the UK government website and look at measles throughout the years, we would have a better understanding.\u00a0 The introduction of the vaccine dramatically reduced the number of recorded infections and deaths but it didn\u2019t happen overnight. The more persons that were vaccinated the less deaths were recorded. In fact, the last time deaths were above 10 in the UK was 1988. The measles vaccine was made available in 1963. The country had registered deaths of 127 that year. It was only after the year 1969 were deaths below 50. It should be noted that in 2016 there was a rise in cases in the UK and a reduction in the number of persons who took the MMR vaccine.<\/p>\n

This simple correlation suggests that the more persons are vaccinated, the less persons would need to seek medical attention. Now being vaccinated doesn\u2019t stop infections but it may reduce the spread, it may reduce the number of persons who show symptoms and it may reduce the level of sickness because more people had little soldiers that could identify the enemy. Therefore, less persons seek and need treatment at the hospital and that is where we need to be.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We all need to fight this virus but don\u2019t let the negative over take you. It is still advisable to follow your mind and not let anyone else choose for you. If your mind says yes then do it, if your mind says not this one but take the other one then do it.<\/p>\n

If your mind says no it\u2019s not good for you then don\u2019t. Do yourself a favor and stay away from negative talks and articles and consult your Healthcare provider. Let me end by saying Black people are the least vaccinated race and the least likely to take one so is the vaccine target really you?<\/p>\n
