Hey COVID, Why Don’t You Go Mess With the Anti-Vaxxers Instead of Me?

An open letter to an illiterate virus. Times are desperate. So am I.

You might’ve noticed that I haven’t used the word ‘Dear’ at the beginning. Well, isn’t it obvious? I took two vaccine doses to stay away from you and here you are putting me into quarantine for the second time. No, you don’t deserve a ‘Dear’.

There are idiots out there refraining to get vaccinated. They roam around with fake vaccination certificates. Do you understand that they’re not scared of you? You, who have killed millions of people so far and bored millions of others in their quarantines. These people are more concerned about getting inside McDonald’s with fake vaccine proofs than being scared for their lives.

Some of these don’t believe you exist. Believe? Now you’re not God that people can choose to believe or not believe in your existence because unlike God, you exist; there’s no point in doubting you.

Doesn’t all this hurt your ego?

Is this why you mutated so many times with Greek names that don’t even suit you?

Was this the image you wanted for yourself?

The good news is you can change this. Look, I may be mad at you for forcing me to live in my room alone and making me all weak and sleepy again but hey, we can fix this. Just go and get the people who deserve to have you in their lives.

It’s a win-win situation: you get to have fun while the anti-vaxxers get scared and vaccinated and good people like me don’t have to suffer.

It’s time to teach a lesson to people who underestimate you.

Go get them.

And maybe look a little scarier like this:

Now that’s something the anti-vaxxers would definitely be scared of. Look at those angry, evil eyes. Made by the author on Canva.
