Various entities are calling for mandates,
to prevent the spread already here.
But many oppose being vaccinated,
claiming more information needed to hear.

So, if we gather in great numbers,
at events or in our family homes,
chances are we will spread the virus,
as the way a virulent virus roams.

Everyone will get sick who isn't vaccinated,
and some will be hospitalized as well.
And some, may end up dying from,
pride declaring their freedom's swell.

The science is not lacking,
it's just slow in coming in.
So don't blame the scientists,
when the information is so thin.

In due time, the pandemic will be over,
we can resume our routines once more.
And the last two Christmas's aggravations,
will be forgotten in Christmas lore.

Vaccinations have given us all a sense of relief,
but as long as there remain unvaccinated people
out there, it isn't advisable to gather in large
crowds until everyone is protected from the very
infectious varieties of coronavirus still growing
in some places.
