Frustration with the World

puppetmakerWe were so close to getting ourselves to herd immunity. So close to getting back to the new normal. So close to getting over this so we can live our lives.
Now it seems that this whole saga is going to drag on because people who can get vaccinated won’t do it.
One of the chants is “It came out too fast. How can they be sure it is safe?”
Normally there is a linear way to test a vaccine but because of the urgency of the situation, they allowed the companies to put things on top of each other. The same steps were taken as they would be for any vaccine.
The percentage of bad reactions to the vaccine are the same for most vaccines and medicines. You have a greater chance of dying for COVID than you do from the vaccine.
I am frustrated with social censorship. The internet is no one’s hug box. And there are people who are trying to force other people to conform to what they believe and are being particularly nasty about it. Especially when they go into spaces and enforce their will upon the group.
It happened with a craft group I belong to. It was mostly crafting talk but we had gotten to know each other over the years and so family and life was discussed.
A new person joined and was a wealth of information about the Cricut machines and what you could do with them. A number of the group have them, so they gave helpful tips. There were the occasional weird posts, but I just ignored them.
One of the members had been working hard to get a gastric band and had been losing weight to prove they could do it. Their brother died from a heart attack and that was their wake-up call. They had been approved for the surgery, so they told us the good news. New person had a melt down and blasted everyone for triggering their eating disorder and made our friend feel terrible about their news and she left the group. New person tried to set herself up as Queen Bee of the group. Everyone tried to be nice, but they had more and more subjects they didn’t want us to discuss because of this than and the other.
I gave up and left the group which dissolved shortly afterwards.
I am frustrated with my own body. Recently my tremors have ramped up again, so I am being extra careful of everything I pick up. The back of my knee feels like it is on fire so I am waiting for that to subside. I am just a mess right now.
I have to find my way back and not wallow in everything that is annoying and frustrating me right now.
I am grateful for peaceful moments.
