My Five-Year-Old May Not Survive Your Refusal to Wear a Mask

Choose life. Put on masks.

My spouse and I made a decision to decide on life and have been sporting masks even after the CDC prematurely, and foolishly, told the fully-vaccinated they could stop wearing them back in May. Whereas lots of you would possibly complain in regards to the annoyance of sporting a masks at grocery shops or on the health club, we now have to continuously fear in regards to the survival of our immuno-suppressed daughter, Nusayba. Her well being is all the time at stake, and way more so as a result of reckless ignorance and conceited entitlement of my fellow People who nonetheless mistake selfishness for freedom and have determined to embrace the virus over masks, vaccines, and different life-saving measures.

Whereas hundreds of thousands on this nation are selecting loss of life, Nusayba is a Stage 4 most cancers survivor and a liver transplant recipient who needed to combat to rejoice her latest fifth birthday. She is only one of hundreds of thousands of People with a compromised immune system, thus making them fatally inclined to COVID-19. As I wrote in May earlier than the most recent surge, it stays to be seen if absolutely vaccinated people with immuno-compromised techniques will produce sufficient antibodies to chase away the virus, which is why whenever you choose to wear a mask indoors, you’re selecting to guard not solely your self, but in addition weak individuals like my daughter.
