We cannot but be baffled when our government announces that the unvaccinated will be restricted access to an expanded list of places in the coming future starting this late month. It fails to hold any concrete grounds to speak volume for the course but coercively enforce such a measure that many find repressive.

Omicron is sweeping around the globe, everyone will stand the possibility of contracting it, and all we have to do is confront it by taking enough precautions by wearing masks, washing hands, doing exercises, eating good food, and drinking a lot of water in addition to avoiding participating in group gatherings. Inoculating vaccines may also be one of the best methods to confront Covid; however, it is our own free will to do so or not instead of being forced or threatened. It is our basic human right that everyone is entitled to.

As to the unvaccinated, they are mostly the elderly who almost all the time stay inside, they don’t have a lot of social activities, they don’t need to contact a lot of people, and mainly they are the group of people who have had not a few chronic illnesses, they choose not to inoculate the vaccine is they know they cannot stand the side effect the vaccine will bring. Why can’t the government place more empathy for them by embracing them and taking the best care of them? Besides the elderly, some unvaccinated are the healthiest group of people, they choose to believe in themselves when they are not in the category of the high risk group who have to contact with a lot of people in their working places. At last, many are fifty to sixty, healthy and wealthy, able to retire earlier, their daily life now is mostly staying at home and sometimes going out to dine, they don’t inoculate since they don’t have to work to contact with many people, and mainly they have confidence in themselves.

All the above-mentioned people who don’t take the vaccine have nothing to do with public ethics, they are just the group of people who have their causes and reasons not to do so. The government is to blame when it leads the society to label them as ‘without public ethics’ plus restrict them to enter numerous places as threatening. It is not what a good government will do to its people.

If our government authentically talks about reality, let’s talk about the economy, we must let the government know many an unvaccinated has the huge capability to spend, especially the group of fifty to seventy early retired, their life now is spending money, I have seen many of this kind of people who will spend ten thousand or even more a month alone in dining in restaurants. If you restrict this group of people to enter restaurants, the economy will severely suffer. I hope our government will be wise enough not to see the unvaccinated as nothing thinking they don’t have the financial means to spend. Besides some elderly who are poor or disabled, the rest of the unvaccinated may be the greatest group of people who like and love to spend.

Lastly, I want to remind everyone that not a recent Covid wave is triggered by the unvaccinated people. They are not to blame. We have to honestly admit that the vaccinated and unvaccinated are the same, they all will contract Covid and transmit it to others, there is no point in dividing them into different breeds with different treatments. As to severe syndrome or the rate of death caused, it all depends. There is no point in exaggerating when we all know Omicron is just like flu merely it is highly transmitted.
