In recent days, a wave of protests has emerged in several cities in Europe, to express their dissatisfaction with the new measures that governments are imposing, to stop the wave of covid-19 that they have right now in front of them.
Some of the countries with protests are:
Austria
Croatia
Denmark
Netherlands
Statistically speaking, the wave of covid-19, starring by the Delta variant, with much more lethality and contagiousness, is driven by those not vaccinated against covid-19. The world has become a strange place. I understand that there has to be diversity, for it to be properly world. But it is one thing to want to be completely free and another is that by exercising that freedom, you end up destroying an entire health system in a country, with the lives of others and even your own. At the beginning of the pandemic, there were many images of anti-vaccine people who even refused to put on a face mask. I understand that each person is free to exercise their right to whatever they deem appropriate. But the time has come for all of us to think a little further, and see that there is no other way to stop this pandemic than by complying with these measures at any cost.
Vaccines have proven effective in all the countries where they have been applied. Even so, there are people who do not agree to get vaccinated. Some countries, even in Europe, are already considering putting the vaccines completely mandatory from February. This, added to the new confinement measures that are being implemented, the need to have the vaccination card, and the government to ban fireworks in December, to avoid more stress in the health system, was what triggered the chaos in the cities.
Only those people who have a Covid-19 passport will be the only ones who will be able to access closed places such as discos and restaurants, just to name a few. This unleashed the rape, and dozens of protesters, with even extreme violent characteristics, came to confront the police and the forces of public order. These extreme right-wing groups set fire to, destroyed, attacked motorists, and even threw fireworks at police officers. Obviously, some people were injured, and a dozen of them were arrested.
Some of these demonstrations were called by the social network Telegram, given its ability to rapidly disseminate information in groups and channels with hundreds of thousands of users agreed in unison. Social media is a double-edged sword. They can serve to do good, or in this case, create general chaos.
The police have even had to use water cannons, tear gas, and sometimes firearms. When a police officer uses his firearm, it is because the situation is quite critical and there is no other way to defuse the situation. He takes refuge in it as a last resort. Some policemen have even been injured.
Some of the slogans that are used are: "Corona-Fake", "Down with the crown dictatorship", "Freedom" and "Resistance". If the first "Corona-Fake" catches your attention, it is not a lie, you read correctly, some believe that covid-19 does not exist and is a diabolical mechanism created by governments to keep everyone in their country controlled. As you read it, some do not understand that the world is in complete chaos and they think so.
Some countries are already emerging from the pandemic and largely thanks to the vaccination program they have used for their country. The more people vaccinated against covid-19, the faster the virus will disappear. We will have found the immunity of the herd.
I am already fully vaccinated. My wife and my son too. Even so, we continue to take all sanitary measures to avoid contagion. No vaccine is going to prevent you from catching it and transmitting the virus 100%. It also won't prevent you from getting worse or dying. But by having the vaccine in your system, makes it more immune and less prone to infect you.
I have met many acquaintances of mine, who since the vaccines came out have been reluctant to them. They have incorrectly spoken of them, even insulted their scientists and creators, demeaning them. Months later, they have been the first to acknowledge their mistake and even get vaccinated with the vaccine doses. It only takes a little confidence, our scientists are capable enough to create the vaccines necessary to face the virus and be victorious. The only way is that, the vaccine, and individual responsibility.
It's all for today friends. I know that it is a complex issue and that each person thinks differently. I respect the diversity of criteria and thoughts. Can you leave me a comment on this topic, how is it in your country? Do you use a facial mask? Do you believe in vaccines?
To you who read me, a pleasure to meet you here, and thank you for dedicating a few minutes of your time to me.

Well friend, my husband and I are vaccinated here, girls not yet. Whenever we go out we do it with a mask and wash our hands when entering or leaving a place. It is a pity that for wanting to walk in the streets, they say that this virus is an invention. It would be the most horrible crime of all time, thanks to him, so many people have died.
I believe that we must continue to take care of ourselves even if we are vaccinated, for the good of ourselves and of all those around us.
