If we had known the entire truth about the COVID-19 pandemic beforehand, many
lives could have been saved or prolonged. Healthcare starts at home, but Citizens have
no control over what happens outside their realms. During this time, there had been an
influx of immigrants and foreigners coming to America with different cultural practices
or beliefs, and the standard of public healthcare began to deviate from the norm. Rules
were bent to accommodate the changes. Governments intentionally kept information
from the public under the guise of protecting us when it was to protect themselves from
public scrutiny.
Growing up, I was passive, afraid to stand up for myself, but I could not resist the urge
to stand up for someone else. During the pandemic, I had a chance to overcome
resistance by facing bigotry, racial hatred and tension, genetic predisposition and factors,
and abuse of prisoners, issues related to covid 19. While the veil was lifting, I began to
share my experiences from encounters in the public square and how this affected my
family and friends. The world lies in the power of the wicked, and although it is
challenging to speak against authority, no one is without reproof or correction.
Awareness encouraged me to act in favor of the people who needed a voice through this
crisis that impacted everyone and everything. I was willing to be a superwoman and
would save the day.
During and after the impact of Covid 19, It seemed as if we were living within the
walls of governments that were merely decentralized. News reported a breakout in a lab
based in Wuhan, China. With little known about why and what was taking place in the
laboratory, demands to receive vaccinations were becoming a prerequisite to enter
facilities and private businesses. Many people like myself felt vulnerable because we
were not convinced enough that we had done anything to cause or allow this to happen.
And then it seemed as if we were the scapegoat to take the blame for it in the name of
accepting experimental drugs into our bodies. Suspicion began to rise, and I took a
stance on social platforms to speak out against the vagueness of this breakout. The
massive amount of unfiltered information was all we had to sift through for unanswered
questions. I could no longer be powerless in the face of adversity.
Unemployment rates had increased and caused a change in employee workload and
work ethic. The businesses were understaffed, and professionalism had become a
parody like a Saturday night live skit. Employees were the new victims of psychological
warfare in every setting because some people had quit their jobs or co-workers were
terminated at will as they refused to be vaccinated. On the other hand, I had lost my job
due to a business closure and was aided by government checks in the form of scientific
stimuli, also known as stimulus checks. While I felt like the vulnerable rat in the maze,
this was an experiment for the citizens. We were literal test subjects mentally,
emotionally, and physically, but that
is if we decided to consent. The government should have provided all necessities to their
citizens due to the breakout in Wuhan, China because we had no control over what
happened in that science lab. Citizens are powerless against the suppression of
information. Uninformed people cannot make informed decisions to protect themselves
or adapt to the people around them.
The Healthcare industry seemed to outdo all other businesses because of the rates of
mortality. News reported that people were on the verge of dying and some did not
survive a chance to recover. Healthcare was at risk and this would have to be the most
vulnerable issue for everyone. I lost a lot of friends and family after they received the
vaccination and the only closure, I found consistent with the new stories was underlying
conditions. I was pregnant, and clinics/hospitals were overcrowded and understaffed.
People were being denied if they showed any symptoms of COVID-19, but I thought this
was the best place for them if so. After filling out intake forms, I sat in the waiting room
for hours to see a nurse and even when being called to the room, there was more
waiting time. I never complained because I was aware of what was happening. Even
though I felt hopeless in realizing the extent this could reach. I knew I had to speak up
and share my story. Some nurses were insensitive to my refusal to be vaccinated, I was
also misdiagnosed with a false positive for trisomy and had to endure genetic
counseling. One thing led to another and I had endless conversations about why I should
be vaccinated during pregnancy. The more I refused, the pro-vax society wanted further
explanation. This experience was so much to deal with that I no longer wanted to come
in for checkups. I remember watching countless home videos about birth at home. It
took a lot of courage to reshape my mind with a positive outlook. I reached for optimism
while keeping in mind that governments have always been subject to change.
During pregnancy, I applied for remote jobs because the stimulus checks did not help
with the cost of living. While remote jobs can combat the unemployment rate,
automation is not likely to hire just anyone. So many people did not want to get
vaccinated and some did because they felt like they would lose their lifestyle or their
lives in general. I stood up for all of these people in the form of religious exemptions,
ministerial work, and planting seeds that would potentially grow their minds for the
tribulation to come. Change starts with the self, and no matter how uncomfortable the
world can get, passivity and awareness cannot coexist for the benefit of overcoming
obstacles.
In such a way, I never connected to my issues of the past the way I did with others
being affected by this pandemic. By standing up for others it built my courage to start
having the same courage for myself. The more I faced challenges, I began to speak up.
During the pandemic, I had reached my capacity for silence and was ready to reveal the
resilience in my character and stand for the truth to not fall for deception. It was my
time to show people how to make sense of all the confusion and mysteries of the world
through the eyes of experience and challenges. After reflecting on the words of Brene
Brown, taking a stance for the truth made me feel vulnerable and uncomfortable. My
back against the wall made me the most courageous I had ever been because I was
placed in a warlike setting, attacked by the same people put in positions of power to
protect me. I believed that silence was a virtue and, it will always be, but there is a time
to be silent, and for me, that silence was necessary to become well-informed, socially
adequate, and competent enough to speak with sense no matter the issues at hand.
Failure is not an option, and we all have the opportunity to be courageous for me it was
exercising my rights no matter the listener or the outcome.
