Should you get the vaccine?
March, 2020...Life peaked a new era, the 20th year of the 3rd millennium. Many people, including myself, sought this year as an opportunity for change, for growth, little did anyone know that this year would literally enclose many across the nation. What caused such devastation, such a time for something new to everyone? The pandemic of this generation, Corona virus also known as Covid-19. Southern California went from the sunniest place in America, to the destination many travelers feared, Southern California was at the top of the list for the most outbreaks of covid-19. Fast forward to today, August 25th, 2021…Citizens in SoCal survived yet we mourn the losses and celebrate the health and the lives of the ones that have made it through and through. Together, we’ve peaked the lowest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in a YEAR. Many people have their ideas for why the cases have finally dropped...Is it that more people are wearing their masks, possibly more people are taking more precautions, covid-19 is slowly dispersing back into non-existence? Maybe the most logical explanation….More and more people are getting covid vaccines each and everyday.

We have our vaccinated people, ones that are willing to get vaccinated in our community, though it doesn’t mean that they’re still taking precautions as I’ve witnessed more than enough people without their masks on in public, people grouping in large crowds, their safe words are, “I’ve been vaccinated, it’s okay to do this!”, yet they forget to realize that the vaccine doesn’t make them, ‘superman’ from covid, it just gives added protection.

We’ll go straight to our non-believers, the ones that are anti-vaccine though they all hold their reasons and opinions for why they don’t want the vaccine, they’re the ones in this community that seek protection yet they don't find reassurance in the idea of this new vaccine…. So, I ask myself, how do we find protection as a community from this deadly virus when our community is separated into two categories of protection? I believe this story is undeniably the one of the year, it holds many differences among the community. I'll be interviewing interviewees from opposing sides, collecting their reasoning on why they chose what they chose. When interviewing the vaccinated and the non-vaccinated, I’ll ask similar questions such as…”What method of protection do you use if you still currently follow the health guidelines?”, “What do you conclude is the reason for why covid-19 cases are dropping?”, “Do you believe the vaccine is safe, in your opinion does it 100 percent effectively eliminate the chances of pertaining covid?”

This story is relevant to the present time, our community is divided and many have thoughts on how to stay safe from covid if members of their community aren’t giving their full effort to make it as safe as possible, with more thoughts on how the community plans to move forward, starting with education...How do they plan on giving the full school experience to students that aren’t vaccinated, how do non-vaccinated teachers feel on the idea of being in a classroom with a non-vaccinated student? This story hasn’t been covered yet many topics have peaked around the idea that there’s still fear in not knowing how to come together as a community on thoughts of difference. If I were to interview three people of my choice, I’d interview my mentor. Some might call him my teacher, he’s currently not vaccinated and he doesn’t believe in getting a vaccine. Next I’d interview my elderly hispanic grandparents that travel between here and Mexico at least two times a year for long periods of time, they’re both currently vaccinated though it’s risky because my seventy-two year old grandmother has diabetes and my eighty-two year old grandfather is on blood pressure medication along with heart medication. Lastly, I’d interview my father as he’s a nurse and has experience working in covid units multiple times, I’d ask him his thoughts on his children getting vaccinated along with his thoughts on if the health guidelines should be still followed by the public in a concrete manner.
