(This
fictional conversation is not intended as medical advice for anyone. It is merely an attempt to explain why many
Southerners have refused to let themselves be coerced into getting a treatment
around which there still swirls a host of questions and concerns. The quotes from Dr. Fauci are real (with minor edits for
flow) and clicking on his name links to the source of each quote.)
Plain-folk
Southron, Edwin: Gracious, it seems we
have upset you mightily, Dr Fauci. Look
at yourself – spluttering all kinds of impolite things about the South!
Dr Fauci: ‘I think there’s no reason not to get
vaccinated. Why are we having red states and places in the South that are very
highly ideological in one way, not wanting to get vaccinations – vaccinations
have nothing to do with politics.’
Edwin: Well, sir, we agree there. But our deciding to forego your COVID shots
has less to do with politics than actual science.
Dr Fauci: ‘Attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on
science. Because all of the things that I have spoken about consistently from
the very beginning have been fundamentally based on science. Sometimes those
things were inconvenient truths for people, and there was pushback against me.
So if you are trying to get at me as a public health official and scientist,
you’re really attacking not only Dr. Anthony Fauci, you are attacking science.
And anybody that looks at what is going on clearly sees that. You have to be
asleep not to see that.’
Edwin: Do try and stay calm, Dr Fauci. This isn’t personal. Despite what you may have heard living up
there in New England and within the pale of the Washington City bureaucracy,
we’ve made some pretty good strides here at the South. Most of us can read now, and what we’ve seen
about COVID and its treatments doesn’t incline us to follow your
recommendations.
We see, for
instance, that there are lots of reports of dangerous blood clots resulting from the shots
intended to protect people from COVID; that they also pose an unusually high risk for
children and young adults; that natural immunity is much more effective
and long-lasting than that conferred via inoculation. And then there is the moral objection of
folks to taking a medication that was developed using tissue from aborted babies.
Together
with all that, we believe like the Psalmist: ‘For You formed my inward parts; You covered
me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was
not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the
lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And
in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet
there were none of them.’
God has
something to say about our bodies, not just the a-religious scientist.
Dr Fauci: ‘There are a lot of things
about organized religion that are unfortunate, and I like to stay
away from it.’
Edwin: That explains a few things. Be that as it may, you have to remember,
Doctor, that people are not machines.
Yet that’s the mindset of those who made and are promoting the
COVID shots. Dr Charles Hoffe of Canada put it like this: . . .
