Mom loves Trump BTW.
Mom comes from a large family, she's one of 7, all over 65. She's getting pressured, daily, by her siblings and some of my cousins to get vaccinated. We had a good talk about it. I thought I'd share my thoughts here in case you find yourself getting similar pressure.
Remember first - these people love you. Bless their hearts, they're still knuckleheads.
Understand, I am not telling my mom not to get it. And I'm not telling any of you that either. But I will address the peer pressure and the irrational rush.
Mom was saying she might as well go get it. Because if she doesn't, and then she gets sick, her family will be so upset plus they'll think its because we're stupid trumpers.
I gave her a few options of how to respond.
-
Write them all an email, something like: "I am so encouraged that my family has finally figured out that President Trump was a true and gifted leader. That they owe President Trump for the very fact that they can allay their fears by accepting this medical miracle for free only a year after discovery. As for me I have successfully avoided this virus for a year now and don't see any reason to be in such a hurry. I would like to first get an Antibody test. Because I would not want to waste a vaccine on me after I have already developed a natural immunity.
-
Say something like "My body, my choice" and then "reeeee" - she didn't like this idea
-
Email all of them and stack of real news from around the world raising valid concerns about the vaccine. And tell them - I've been doing some reading and I would like to wait and see how these stories pan out. After you've read all of them, if you would like to talk give me a call. And give links to some big fat red-pill articles about the entire plandemic. Sneak in a few facts about the stolen election and yeah, Biden is a pedo.
- Sorta, Ok, I'll take the vaccine, if you take this pill deal.
Well mom, I hoped that was helpful.
I agree. My folks are also strong in their Faith. My dad got on the phone and related a story from the bible that basically teaches that even a serpent's bite would not harm them apart from God's will... this was after he explained that they've already received their promised 70 years of life... so if this vaccine does kill them then it was just their time... (This sounds sillier than it actually was)
I think they probably will get it eventually, but they absolutely agree with me in this:
If the vaccine is good, then that means the covid threat is decreasing going forward. Your chances of encountering it are smaller each passing day. And if it is good then you may get it whenever you think your personal risk factors increase.
If it is bad, then due to the global rush to vaccination, we will see some very interesting data points emerge over the next year. If it is bad then, more people taking it will accelerate the knowledge we have about this vaccine specifically. Plus we will learn more about the type of vaccine (mRNA). So obviously if its bad you will be happy that you waited. And then you'll be able to justify your wise choice with data.
either way there is no justification for rushing it.
I was offering a scientific justification. As a Christian, I do not believe in introducing foreign substances into my body. We survived for centuries without vaccinations. It is part of the cabal's effort to control us, exploit us and ultimately eliminate us.
Why get it? I'm 72 and a anti-vaxer! They say the MRNA vaccine changes your cell DNA. Do some research I'm betting the vaccine is nefarious and is not good.
