Start of February

I didn't mention this in my last blog post but my sister in law's Mum passed away during the previous week, it came out of the blue without warning, I feel pity for my sister in law and her family. This is what life is, waiting to die and trying to find meaning in the chaos. How sad it is. 

I was also thinking about the Spotify Boycott. What had happened is a talkshow podcaster called Joe Rogan had invited vaccine skeptic doctors onto his show and they presented information that is considered to be incorrect about the vaccines. Some musicians reacted by removing their music from the streaming service. I'm in two minds about their reaction, I don't like the idea of trying to topple people's talkshows because they put a lot of work into it and he doesn't talk about vaccines all the time. On the other hand, I wouldn't want a group of people to abstain from vaccines because of a lie then die from an infection that could have been prevented by the vaccine. It's better not to talk about it I say. I wouldn't want to be responsible for some people's deaths, even a joke can be dangerous. This is an example of causing death with your mouth. You can literally cause a person's death just by saying something so I would say be careful what you talk about. Don't just say what comes into your head. 

Joe Rogan experience dispute

I recently learned Neil Young the musician removed his content from Spotify. He didn't want to share a platform with Joe Rogan the podcaster because he put information on his show about vaccines that is believed to be untrue. To cut a long story short, he was trying to get Joe Rogan fired, that is what it looked like to me. I thought it was a bit harsh. It didn't work anyway, they kept Joe Rogan with them , he has far more streams I think. I personally have nothing against either men, if they came to my home, I would pour them both my best coffee or tea and give them both a foot stool to rest their feet and full access to my TV remote. 

If you convince people not to take the vaccine and they are killed by the disease that the vaccine protects you from, then you are responsible for that person's death in a way. You can kill people with your mouth unfortunately, I think that is why Niel Young was worried, he was taking a stand. People should think for themselves though, they should know the vaccine is harmless and a big benefit. If they want to be a vaccine skeptic then let them I say, just try to share the truth more than the conspiracy. If someone shines a conspiracy light, shine a truth light that is brighter. That is the Alan way. 

Vaccinations and Covid19

I think it is wrong to force people to get vaccinated and I think it is unfair the sack people for refusing to be vaccinated. I'm sure people should have a right to choose what goes into their body. 

I also think it is wrong to claim a religion is against vaccination because most religions formed before vaccines were invented so they don't even have a word for them. The way I see it is vaccinations are just a medicine, they cause your 'B' cells to make antibody proteins before you are infected by the disease so if you get infected, your body gets a head start. I hear people say the mark of the beast is the vaccine, the mark of the beast is a willingness to turn against God. You could say that a heart bypass surgery is the mark of the beast using that logic. 

I will say no more about this because I will offend people. I'm double vaxed myself but that was my own decision.
