Getting vaccinated is the way forward

MANY people are hesitant to get vaccinated because of the amount of misinformation currently being circulated on the social media platforms.
For those people who are hesitant, go and visit the general hospitals in Port Moresby, Lae and Goroka and see for yourselves what is happening there.
More than 10 people are dying every week in these hospitals.
The Port Moresby General Hospital is currently preparing for mass burials.
These hospitals are struggling with manpower, logistics, oxygen and other things to assist the patients with the fight against the Coronavirus (Covid-19) Delta variant.
Can those who are contributing to spread of misinformation be realistic?
Why are you sharing everything?
Think about yourselves, your family, your community and your country.
Yes, we have our democratic rights to say no to vaccines, but think of those that are dying who were not vaccinated.
If we want to get back to some normalcy, follow the “New Normal” direction of wearing masks, avoiding crowded areas, sanitising your hands regularly and/or get vaccinated.
Our vaccinated population is around two per cent only while our Melanesian neighbours Fiji, New Caledonia and Vanuatu, their vaccinated population stands between 80 and 90 per cent.
I got vaccinated for my health, my family’s safety and my employment.
If developed countries such as Australia and New Zealand could have many months of lockdowns, who are we to ignore and avoid the directions that could save our lives.
Anyway, buckle up for another lockdown.
