I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.
As a full-time critical care physician, who is 10 years out of training and has been treating COVID since the beginning of the pandemic, I believe my first-hand experience has given me a good deal more insight than most. These are only my thoughts and opinions, take them with a grain of salt.
Fist, I do think the "vaccines" (novel biologics) likely had some short-lived efficacy in preventing severe disease and death from COVID, at least for the native strain and in vulnerable patients. Keep…
Your point "truly vulnerable patients is quite low" is well made. I remain astounded that we do not seem interested in really understanding who and why some are vulnerable. We also know that some people are quite immune intrinsically from being affected. Their immune system readily can cope as seen by couples where one gets ill and the other doesn't. That was first seen from the Princess cruise ship in the very first days of the pandemic. Given couples generally share the same biome something in their immune system is quite different and certainly a topic for study, yet there seems to be none. It seems like we put our complete faith in vaccines despite clear evidence they don't always work as well as we thought. The big WE have decided and that's that. Giving the vaccine to someone who was never at any risk and claiming success produces awkward data.
