GUEST COMMENTARY: BY LORETTA BUTLER TURNER
NASSAU, Bahamas, August 6, 2021 — Up to this time l have not made any public commentary regarding the Vaccination debates. Since December 2019 l have observed, studied and tried to analyze how would Covid19 impact my life and the lives of my family. I prayed that there would be a miracle that would end this pandemic. I followed and practiced all protocols and guidelines to ensure the health and safety of our household.
These past two years have been filled with grief, loss and anger. So many lives have been snuffed out and so many families have been impacted by lingering long-term symptoms. In the midst of this l still hoped, l still prayed for an end to this. I did not want to subject my body to something that still was not clearly defined in my own mind.
Currently, l have not lost hope for a miraculous end, but l am increasingly aware that the mutations of this deadly virus is not diminishing, but rather increasing. Having weighed the pros and the cons of resisting the ‘jab’….l have finally decided.
Am l afraid to die? No, not at all, it is inevitable…we will all die. What l do fear is the isolation that Covid-19 imposes on people and the possibility of never fully recovering.
After all this time, being cautious, taking vitamins and practicing protocols, l have decided to take the vaccine. I believe that every one should be allowed to have a choice. It has not been an easy decision and yes l still have concerns. However, l am praying and believing that this is the best choice for my family and myself. I am praying that this will help us all to have a world to enjoy that is free of this Covid-19 pandemic.
