I saw an essay about a French general paying tribute to the unvaccinated.
At first, I was skeptical about the article. Why would a general write something like that?
I did find the original. It was not written by a general but by Fernando López-Mirones. A biologist, university professor, documentarian, and science writer, Fernando criticizes how the Spanish government handled the COVID-19pandemic.
The following is Google Translated with minor editing. (AI translation is not yet perfect) You can see the original on his Telegram channel – https://t.me/elaullido/5132
THE INDOMITABLE HUMAN
Fernando López-Mirones.
Even if I were fully vaccinated, I would look at the unvaccinated with admiration for having been able to withstand the greatest of pressures ever seen, even from their partners, parents, children, friends, co-workers, and doctors.
People capable of such personality, courage, and critical capacity are undoubtedly the best of humanity. They are everywhere, of all ages, education, conditions, and ideas.
They are of a special kind. They are the soldiers that every army of light would want in their ranks. They are the parents that every child would wish to be and the dream children of any parent.
They are beings above the average of their societies, they are the essence of humans who built all cultures and conquered horizons. They are there, next to you, they seem normal, but they are Superheroes.
They did what others could not, they were the tree that withstood the hurricane of insults, disqualifications, and social marginalization.
And they did it thinking they were alone, believing they were the only ones. Removed from the tables of their own families at Christmas, nothing so cruel was ever seen.
They lost jobs, let their careers sink, and ran out of money. but they didn’t care.
They endured being discriminated against, singled out, betrayed, and suffered humiliation without measure… but they continued.
Never before in humanity has there been a similar casting. Now we know who is the best on planet Earth.
Women, men, elders, young, rich, poor, of every race or religion, the unvaccinated. The chosen ones of the invisible ark. The only ones who could stand firm when everything sank.
You have passed an inconceivable test that many of the toughest Marines, commandos, green berets, astronauts, and geniuses have not been able to resist.
You are made with the stuff of the greatest who ever existed, those heroes born among ordinary men who shine in the dark.
Yes, it is you, the culmination of the spirit of the Indomitable Human.
