Dear reader from the future,
It’s been a year since the COVID-19 broke out worldwide, and I have heard about how people are getting tired of it that some just prefer not to think about it anymore.
But it’s difficult to not think about it, especially when it gets closer to home, and people you know are getting it and either recover or die.
It’s even more surprising how people correlate things that are most likely unrelated, more like a coincidence. And extreme view about the vaccine spreads out fear to the gullible.
I know how challenging it is to tell someone who already made up their minds about things, like getting a vaccine or wearing a face mask.
And after all the extreme views about how COVID-19 is just a marketing ploy to sell vaccines (because a neighbor told me that people are still dying of it after their first dose), I just can’t help agreeing with Seth when he wrote that “when we see firsthand that pretend science doesn’t work, we’re tempted to imagine that the same is true for interventions that are actually studied and tested.“
I just hope that as the lead researchers continue to look for answers as to where the virus began, we also get better at distinguishing the facts from conspiracies.
Your letter writer from the past,
Jessa
