Opinion: Cancel it: End vaccine resistance

by Cristian Wilmore

Many people are still not vaccinated and that is a serious problem. COVID-19 vaccines are made for protecting us from the virus and people are not taking it. The reason why there’s more cases it’s because people around the world are not getting the shot when the government is only trying to help us get out of the predicament that started in 2019.

“Vaccines are important to get,” said junior Kiara Griffin “Because the vaccine gives you a chance to not be fully affected by the virus”

According to CNN’s world Covid- 19 tracker, the disease has hit the United States hard. About 43.5 million cases have been reported in the country and 698,992 patients have died.

“I think the problem with the unvaccinated is the privilege they have,” said junior Aaliyah Noil.

“Some can’t afford to take any chances getting sick, and taking time off from work. I think the government has provided enough resources about the vaccine and they choose to ignore it.”

CDC recommends people who are not fully vaccinated maintain a physical distance of at least 6 feet away from other people who do not live in their household.

“Urging individuals to get vaccinated means protection for the vaccinated and potential protection for the unvaccinated data proves that vaccinations lower the risk and destruction that COVID may cause for anyone who may catch COVID and lessens the chances to spread the virus,” English teacher Nijah Lastrapes said.

Overall, unvaccinated people should get the vaccination to prevent future causes, and to help the world improve the chances of not being fully affected with COVID-19.
