The new outbreak of the Covid-19. Do vaccines work?
The world has suffered from Covid-19 infection. People have lost members of the family, jobs,
freedom. I remember everyone took it as a joke. Our university had a spring break at the beginning of
March 2020. This break started a new chapter in students’ lives. I was watching the news, New York
started to shut down their university due to pandemics. No one did not think that this pandemic will kill
an enormous amount of people, turn people's lives into chaos. Starting in 2021 people started to get
vaccines. It seemed to be the end of the pandemic. The president of the United States announced that
people don’t have to wear masks anymore. So what happened? Why do we have to wear them
again?
Since the new outbreak of the Delta variant of the Covid, people have to keep social distance and wear
masks. So why did we get vaccinated? The data shows that the average number of new Covid cases in June was
around 15,000 cases, but it increased dramatically up to 150,000 in late August. According to CDC,
vaccines are highly effective. Unvaccinated people were 11 times more likely to die of covid-19, CDC
report finds. However, it is hard to make people get vaccinated due to the rights of the people or religious
beliefs. The president recently announced that workers companies with 100 or more employees
should be vaccinated or show negative test results each week. In my opinion, every person should be
responsible for society. Either get vaccinated or wear masks every time they are outdoors.

Yes Ulanbek, I completely agree with what you have written, especially that they have to either get vaccinated or wear masks out of their homes. It does not make sense looking at the anti-vax, anti-climate-change, covid-hoax, and so many other extremist illogical movements taking place! The recent Texas's Abortion ban and restriction of schools from imposing mask mandates. Like, what do they want? They want to "protect" life that cannot feel anything and won't remember anything for another 2-3 years, but wants people to choose whether they want to wear masks or not, especially children! Children aren't lives? Children can feel! Children can remember! That's the biggest hypocrisy I've ever seen. Looks like people don't want to trust data and statements from experts and professionals who have years, or even decades of experience, but rather, want to believe in conspiracies on some website, written by someone somewhere, with who know what qualification? Sure, the world has seen a lot of successful drop-outs, but that's a really really small subset from a very large number of people.
I agree with you, the new variant has caused a lot of confusion amongst people who were really sure of getting the vaccine. Because now the question arises how many more variants will there be? And with decreased efficiency of the vaccine with each new variant, will vaccines be effective? I know a few people who were sure they would get the vaccine but after the Delta variant changed their mind. We can obviously not develop a vaccine for each variant to be 97% effective. I agree we have to be responsible on our part and wear masks and maintain distance.
The situation sure is tricky. FOr example students at OWU were promised no masks and normal college if they were to get vaccinated. Nevertheless, we are right back where we were when a vaccine was not present. I wonder how Bidens 100+ employee mandate is going to settle with people. I think it's going to come with some pushback and resisting.
