The word “freedom” is used all over the place today.
There is a famous quote from a certain M.me Roland, executed on November 8, 1793, during the French Revolution, and which reads as follows: “O Liberty, what crimes are committed in your name. »
We could today, with the dispute over vaccination, paraphrase this quote as follows: “O Freedom, what nonsense we say in your name. »
As members of the nearly 90% vaccinated population, one could argue that our freedom is hampered by a minority who refuse the vaccine, who transmit the virus, who clog up our hospitals, who exhaust the medical staff and who, as a result , forces governments to maintain health rules that apply to everyone, including the vaccinated majority. It might be time to demand that this minority have a minimum of consideration for our freedom, the 90%.
In addition, this same minority overcrowds hospital beds devoted to COVID by more than 50%, i.e. a rate relative to the population 10 times higher (1000%) than that of the vaccinated. Because of this situation, load shedding is required of patients who are in serious pain or whose life could even be endangered. Could there be undue discrimination here to the benefit of the unvaccinated and to the detriment of those who deserve the best care? The question is asked.
We heard the word “freedom” a lot in Ottawa this weekend. We did not talk about mine and that of 90% of the population who do what it takes to recover it.
