“A Bug Story”

In 2019 we had an infestation of bugs called COVID.

The bugs bit and sickened us with lifelong effects and sometimes death.

A spray was brought to us from science called vaccine, this spray lowered the sickness and death.

But not all the bugs were sprayed,

Let’s call this the unvaccinated.

So those bugs became stronger and highly contagious let’s call this the Delta variant, which is ravaging in the young and old to cause 90% of the hospitalizations from these unsprayed bugs.

Now in the unvaccinated we have new mutations from Delta bugs.

Not enough bug spray is being used and the bugs are spreading sickness and death in overcrowded hospitals with preventable cases.

These hospitals are staffed with emotionally and physically tired care workers.

This is a worldwide pandemic.

We must do our part.

Spray your bugs

Real facts are real

The risk is real

The responsibility is real

Get vaccinated
