Take the pledge!

December 22, 2021 by Guest Post

by David Welch, Corvallis

The valley is on the cusp of what is being described as a ‘viral blizzard’. After thousands of the unvaccinated gather locally for Xmas next week, Covid-19 cases will explode shortly thereafter.

Unchecked, these cases will overwhelm our local healthcare system. But there is a solution.

Every anti-vax, anti-mask unvaccinated person in the county needs to pledge they will not seek medical care when they contract Covid-19. Since they believe that Covid-19 is no big deal, and they have wonder drugs like Ivermectin to fall back on, they have no need to burden our already fragile healthcare system, do they?

So all of you unvaccinated… take the pledge! Do it now, do it publicly. Write an LTE to the Star with your pledge to not seek medical care when you contract Covid-19. Or leave a comment in the online edition of the Star with your pledge so we all know you have the courage of your convictions.

Show us that you are not all just the selfish and cowardly blowhards you appear to be but rather are the fine, upstanding citizens you believe yourselves to be.

Take the pledge!
