"These good times for cats were not to last, however. In the Middle Ages the feline population of Europe was to experience several centuries of torture, torment, and death at the instigation of the Christian church. Because they had been involved in earlier pagan rituals, cats were proclaimed evil creatures, the agents of Satan and familiars of witches. Christians everywhere were urged to inflict as much pain and suffering on them as possible. The sacred had become the dammed. Cats were publicly burned alive on Christian feast days. Hundreds of thousands of them were flayed, crucified, beaten, roasted, and thrown from the tops of church towers at the urging of the priesthood, as part of a vicious purge against the supposed enemies of Christ."
The elderly, the sickly, and the obese were the most at risk.
Being young and healthy, the risk to me was negligible.
The covid vaccines did not prevent transmission, so getting jabbed would not help eradicate the virus.
Because of the limited benefits the vaccine would provide to me and its non-sterilizing nature, I decided not to get vaccinated against covid.
In the end I got covid, was sick as a dog for a few days, then I was fine. I'm happy with my decision. But I would never suggest to anyone who got the covid vaccine that they made the wrong decision, it's an individual choice to make.
