An Open Letter

To all of the people who have followed the ‘rules’ and the ‘guidelines’ for the last 21 months -

Hi, I’m sure you’ve heard about us, and I doubt it’s been very nice things. We are the ‘anti vaxxers’, we are the ‘conspiracy theorists’ that you were warned about. We are the ‘dangerous’ and ‘unhinged’ and the ‘mentally unstable’. We are the ‘uneducated’ and the ones spreading ‘misinformation’.

First of all, if you’ve found yourself reading this after the announcement this evening, I’m sure you’re feeling an array of emotions. You’ll be angry, upset, disappointed and possibly even scared. I mean, the chances are, you’ve had 2, maybe even 3 vaccines and yet you’re still being told you have to wear a mask, social distance and another lockdown hasn’t been ruled out (unfortunately, a lockdown is defo coming). Since March 2020, you’ve socially distanced, you’ve worked from home, you haven’t seen your friends and family, you’ve possibly missed out on life changing events like visiting a terminally ill family member in hospital, cancelling a wedding, having to miss a funeral or being unable to go and visit relatives. You may have missed out on nearly 2 years worth of memories - grandchildren are now that bit older, elderly family members have passed away, your important family events have been and gone.

I’m sure your mental health hasn’t been too great either. You’ve probably been feeling very vulnerable, scared and lonely - after all, you’re protecting yourself and others from a virus which you believe is killing millions of people. You hate wearing a mask but you don’t want to pass C**** onto a vulnerable person, so you suck it up and you continue to wear it.

You had your first vaccine, despite still having to isolate when your work colleagues test positive and still having to wear a mask. It made you feel very unwell, you may have had flu like symptoms but hey, you were doing it for all of us. Then you got your second vaccine which made you feel worse, but you needed it so you could go on holiday this last summer - then what happened? They implemented a travel ban. You spent a year and a half obeying rules and doin exactly what you were told to gain your freedom back, only to be told you STILL had no more rights than the unvaccinated. In fact, you were told it was the unvaccinated who were prolonging this nightmare. The sooner everyone gets vaccinated, the quicker we can return to normal.

Let’s skip a few more months and another variant has come to fruition - this one apparently may avoid the vaccines that you thought were protecting you - if you or anyone you know comes into contact with it, you still have to isolate, despite being vaccinated. The media are pushing this one hard - this is more deadly, more transmissible and more feared than any other variant before. Just as you thought things were getting back to normal, it’s like Groundhog Day.

So, here we are 21 months in and you’re now starting to question things. We now have more positive cases per day than this time last year, yet tens of millions are vaccinated? And how dare your own government have a large Christmas party whilst YOU stuck to the rules. YOU weren’t able to see family. YOU weren’t able to go to see your parents in the care homes. YOU weren’t able to get your needed treatment in the hospital. YOU weren’t able to live your life and YOU were the one suffering the negative effects of THEIR rules.

The thing is, 21 months ago, we predicted all of this. It’s not because we are ‘conspiracy theorists’ but because we have researched our government, we have analysed them, we KNOW them and we know their plans. I promise you that your compliance is only going to prolong this. You may think that we are crazy and selfish for not getting vaccinated, but what the media and the government want, is us divided.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think you’re a sheep, I don’t think you’re asleep, I don’t blame you for being compliant… but I am sorry. I’m sorry that you’ve blindly put trust and faith in a government who have let you down time and time again. I’m sorry that you did exactly what you believed would be best and nothing has changed. I’m sorry that you did all of this selflessly because you wanted to keep others safe and you wanted your life back. I’m sorry that you were lied to.

I don’t want their divisive techniques to work anymore. I’m asking you to stand with us and say NO to anymore rules, anymore lockdowns and anymore ridiculous mandates. This is not about saving lives, this is not about keeping people safe and it is not about a virus.

If you have a ‘conspiracy theorist’ friend in your life who has been right multiple times in the last 21 months, I’m begging you, to please take a look at what is happening now and see that this isn’t going to get any better until we make it stop.

So, to you, fellow human being - someone who is clearly so compassionate to put their life on hold for 21 months, please try and spread your compassion and empathy to us and realise that we are NOT the enemy.

Love and light 💜
