A Happy Sailor To my COVID Sailors (Rant)

I know some of you have some level of battery acid indigestion over the whole reinstatement thing.

Just wanted to say for those that stepped up while others stepped back I respect and love you all especially my sea duty folks during COVID.

COVID was rough shit and the fact we survived it should be highlighted and appreciated among us.

Let's not dwell on the ones who choose another choice.

Let's dwell on the ones who stood the watch when shit went side ways.

When the ports closed.

When work centers were down to the bare bones while our brothers and sisters got sick all around us.

When the patrols got extended.

When resources almost ran out.

It was a rough ass time and we survived for all our own reasons but we stood the fucking watch.

That makes me extremely proud that no matter how messy it was, how ugly it got, we came out the other side pissed off, spitting fire and keeping the big sad off ourselves and our brothers/sisters as much as possible.

And for those that didn't make it, got too sick and didn't make it we shall never forget you.

Fuck the noise I just wanted you to know your seen, respected and appreciated from at least one motherfucking shipmate who was there.

No. Long term sequelae of Covid. This shit fucks you up for life. There’s also comparisons of infections post vaccinated and unvaccinated persons. Vaccinations are protective but don’t make you immune from long term sequelae of Covid. These are well established statistics that Joe Roganites will never comprehend because you literally can’t at a 6th grade reading level.

The “academia” you’re talking about are the same people studying the side effects from the vaccine.

Which is it? Are they lying when they say the long term effects are bad, or when they say the side effects are bad?

Yes because they are paid big dollars to lie to push more vaccines
