The Delta variant is stoking our anger at the unvaccinated.
Don’t tell us to calm down. By Rebecca Ruiz
There’s an inflatable pinchable clown in my online shopping cart. It’s been there since mid-June, when my therapist recommended physically (but safely) channeling my newfound anger. She also suggested screaming into a pillow.
I ultimately decided the clown was one step too far, at least in terms of household clutter. I can appreciate a good scream, but enjoy it most at sporting events and concerts. I opted instead for a nightly meditation for coping with anger.
At the time, my irritability was an unexpected revelation of post-vaccine life.
After months of using emotional numbness as a defense against the unpredictability of a pandemic, it finally felt safe to feel again.
I was furious about losing time with loved ones and constantly having
to make risk assessments to protect my two young, unvaccinated children.
The meditation helped put my anger into perspective, and soon it faded.
Then the delta variant of the coronavirus began making urgent headlines.
I stayed mostly calm until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced in late July that vaccinated people can infect others who’ve been immunized. The desperate rage came on quickly. Everything I thought was firmly in hand — unmasked visits from high-risk grandparents, relatively carefree hangouts with vaccinated friends, and a low-risk start to the school year — slipped from my grasp.
Now a new set of headlines proclaim that vaccinated people’s anger is unhelpful and will backfire. Public health experts recently told USA Today “that anger is understandable, widespread and unproductive.” But if there’s one thing my meditation on the Ten Percent Happier app taught me, it’s that anger is a messenger. It can tell you when a loved one is in danger, when your boundaries have been violated, when your needs are unmet.
The trick is neither suppressing that frustration nor being carried away by it. Achieving this balance often requires exhausting mental and emotional work to recognize and check your worst impulses.
The notion that the vaccinated should remain silent or subdued to spare injury to someone else’s pride isn’t helpful either.
After 18 months of trying to follow the rules and stay positive, it’s no surprise that people who sacrificed as much as they could before vaccinations were available, then lined up for immunization, are now irate.
Close to 60% of Americans eligible for vaccination have gotten their shots. Too many have chosen a different path. Simply put, we’d be seeing fewer infections, hospitalizations, and deaths now if more people in the U.S. were vaccinated.
The argument against letting the vaccinated express their outrage seems to hinge on the possibility that doing so will alienate people who’ve refused so far to get jabbed. Indeed, unleashing anger in the form of blame and shame can destroy relationships, erode trust, and lead to painful regret. Yet, the notion that the vaccinated should remain silent or subdued to spare injury to someone else’s pride isn’t helpful either. Delta supercharged people’s anger. Instead of telling them to temper their feelings, we should take their rage seriously.
Public health experts inclined to lecture should reconsider given how much the most responsive and cooperative Americans have been asked to shoulder. Prior to widespread vaccination, many followed safety guidelines around masking and distancing. They helped flatten the curve. They educated their children at home or quit jobs that were unsafe for their families. People willing to act responsibly during the pandemic have exercised immense physical and psychological discipline while they watched others burn masks, throw parties, and circulate conspiracy theories. Now we’re being asked to dig deeper, bottle up our anger, and find graciousness where only exasperation and grief exist.
Healthcare workers, in particular, seem increasingly distraught and furious.
They’re once again confronting full intensive care units, intubating otherwise healthy 20-somethings, and trying to notify a next of kin only to realize an entire household has been brought down by COVID-19.
As one ICU nurse told NPR, “I can’t explain the feeling of defeat when you pour everything into a patient and it’s not enough,” she said. “And then to know that they could’ve gotten vaccinated and it could’ve made a difference.” No burden could be greater in this fight than to watch people die avoidable deaths.
Acknowledging this reality isn’t meant to justify generalizations about who’s unvaccinated and why, lumping them all into a single maligned group. We can be angry and note that vaccine access is critical but not guaranteed for every community, that unvaccinated households are more likely to be food insecure and make less than $75,0000 a year, that historic and institutional medical racism has betrayed countless people who might otherwise leap at the chance for protection against COVID-19.
We can also say, definitely: It didn’t have to be like this. With more widespread vaccination, we might not be nervously sending our children to school with infection rates, in some places, as high or higher than during pre-vaccination peaks. People wouldn’t be anxiously weighing whether to hold a once-postponed wedding or go on that long-planned trip to visit relatives for the first time since 2020. We wouldn’t have to watch again as our fellow Americans fall ill and die.
The anger may be selfish at times, but it’s also a normal response to the circumstances.
When you snatch hope from someone and replace it with yet more grief and trauma, they will be angry. When an expert says this anger is unproductive, they’re not hearing its message. People are grieving for normalcy that was only an illusion.
They know their loved ones, and themselves, are less safe. They deserve to be heard.
Hearing them means alleviating the pressure on the vaccinated to hold this fragile country together.
Hearing them means alleviating the pressure on the vaccinated to hold this fragile country together. Delta’s contagiousness has ensured that the unvaccinated can no longer rely on the protection afforded to their communities by widespread immunization. Still, those who’ve avoided getting their shots must reckon with their role in slowing progress toward herd immunity. We need carefully instituted mask and vaccine mandates that push the hesitant or resistant to take meaningful responsibility for our collective health and well-being.
Recent vaccine mandates issued, planned, or recommended for U.S. military troops, federal workers, healthcare workers, teachers, and college students are a good start. Data show that mandates are effective, whether they require proof of vaccination or regular testing for someone who is unvaccinated. Mandates for the vaccines may also be less controversial once the Food and Drug Administration fully approves them. Programs like the “Key to NYC Pass,” which will make access to indoor activities like gyms, restaurants, and performances contingent on vaccination, also puts appropriate pressure on the unvaccinated to reevaluate their choices. Similarly, we need more employers and brands, like the NFL and United Airlines, to set clear expectations for their employees: Get vaccinated or pay the price, either in financial penalties or your job.
Of course, mandates should be implemented alongside reasonable and legal exceptions and effective programs that increase access to vaccines and provide people with social and economic support. That can include setting up clinics in community and neighborhood settings, providing paid time off and childcare for workers and parents worried about severe side effects, and culturally responsive approaches to skeptics who cite medical racism as their reason for avoiding the vaccine. What’s no longer possible is expecting the vaccinated, many of whom have already given up a lot while others flouted the rules, to coddle the unvaccinated. Asking the vaccinated to patiently watch as public health officials, employers, and companies tiptoe around the unvaccinated is no longer acceptable.
While the vaccinated are probably unlikely to withhold future cooperation as punishment for being scolded or silenced, they’ll still feel resentment that could continue dividing us all. If public health officials and experts want the vaccinated to surrender their anger and keep marching forward, they need to stop expecting them to sacrifice with a smile on their face and instead start asking more of the unvaccinated.

Rumors of a BLACKOUT: Thoughts?
Our country is in a lot of trouble when we refuse to profile terrorists but
are willing to profile innocent patriotic Americans. I have a generac home generator we’re prepared.

Klaus Schwab recently said this is their next plan for the world.
The Great Reset is in full swing. Let’s see how healthy all these Guinea pigs and mask loving communist are in a few years. Just remember it was your choice to ignore science and trust the government. I’d stock up on water and essentials just to save some TP for others.
Everyone should be prepared for any extended period of power outage, between severe storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, and winter ice storms.
That said, rumors are just that.
I’ll believe it when it happens.
Prepping for blackouts during storms, etc. is a gimme.
But blackouts from your own gov’t, that’s tyranny. Would like to think that’d never happen, but they lie incessantly, and power is a very destructive force!
So many so-called Q revelations (watch for it!, this is it!, it’s coming!) failed to materialize. I try not to pay attention to the “This is the smoking gun” crowd.
If something happens I’ll find out. Until then, spare me.
China has purchased enough property in strategic US locations and will be tying into the power grid with wind farms, solar. So if it isn’t going to happen from ds, it will be happening soon enough after China gets its claws firmly entrenched.

I say, just live life to the fullest, whatever is going to happen is going to happen!!!+
Good or bad, pray and live. No one is promised tomorrow anyway.
It’s good to do some form of preparation for these things but beware of the fear-porn. It’s addictive. Any form of a black out in my opinion would be a last ditch effort to stop info from getting out etc etc. They’re also a two-edged sword.
They’ve been dismantling power plants in Kansas since they illegally took over DC!
10 days of darkness are coming..
They can’t stop the spread of information and they are rapidly losing control of the narrative. The deep state is in full panic mode and the world is watching the house of cards come down. Something is definitely coming. A national blackout , esp in the summer months, would create civil unrest on levels we have never seen before. It’s possible. They’re screwing everything else up, may as well trash the power grid and send us into total chaos and anarchy.
Nothing can stop what’s coming.
God is gonna make things right…
Bless to all….

Who believes OUR nation is experiencing a “spiritual crisis.”
Because our homes and churches are experiencing a “spiritual crisis”?!!!
We don’t need churches. People just need to get their shit together and get right with Source. We need a reset to correct the misinterpretations, get everyone on the same page, and then everyone can worship PRIVATELY, the way it’s supposed to be. It’s a PERSONAL relationship.
I believe it. Our views as Christians are so off, we want so badly to live these comfortable lives that we are not standing on the truth anymore. It’s so clear the churches are not transforming people!!! All we have to do is look at the mess we are in!!!
This bioweapon jab push is designed against Christians number one!
There are people still defending this administration and swearing up and
down by that 1400 check. You are on a small road. I am on a small road.
We are on a small road leading into the distance I will never forget the fact that millions sold their souls for 1400. That’s all it took!

THIS WILL NEVER STOP UNTIL WE TAKE IT UPON OURSELVES AND DEFEND OUR BORDER!
Of all things the left and right are fighting about, the biggest one is the Crisis on the southern Border. Here is an idea: suspend Posse Comitatus within 2 miles of the border and let the Army and Marines handle it. We can be so soft on this major National Security issue.
