Medical exemption

I was stunned to read Ricky Daytona’s response to Jenine Tepsa’s (letter) about giving unvaccinated Canadians a wide berth, lest she get infected by them.

Part of my shock is that Castanet would actually print an opposing opinion.

The concept of someone actually questioning the (government’s) overreach of its authority, frightens many who see vaccines as an insurance policy against all evil. However, insurance policies demand a premium and it comes usually in monthly instalments. The Covid “jab” program is only starting and with many variants currently being brewed, the “jab” is not going to be a one/two and then happy-days-for-everyone scenario.

The pot of gold at the rainbow’s end, in the form of an all-clear travel passport, is a fallacy and will require constant booster updating to comply as they have a built in expiry date.

As for me, I have a medical exemption due to three-year-long recovery from Legionnaires disease which left my pulmonary system compromised. My healthy God-given immunity system would be severely compromised by recycling fetid bacteria-laden air, day in and day out. I have also been tested for Covid and was given a clean bill of health without complications. So, I am not an ignorant, scofflaw that you have seen in a store and subject to hostile stares and vitriolic comments. My medical exemption badge was issued by my doctor and my life and health depend on it.

However, Ms Tepsa’s has nothing to worry about as she already has had both injections. Therefore, she should not need a mask, no need to separate or social distance either as she has her Kryptonite shield so her world should be normal again and the government would never lie to us.

Ricky’s letter (well done and written) is only one of thousands that many learned and concerned Canadians would be glad to contribute if only there was a unbiased and open media forum for them to do so. So, thank you Castanet for allowing one to be printed.
