I don't intend for this to be a doomer post but i'm desperately in need of some hope/reassurance. I can't get through to my friends and family about the vaccine, can't convince them about how much trouble the world is in etc. It is really starting to get to me. I feel so depressed and alone and without this forum, as drastic as it sounds, I probably wouldn't still be here. At first Trump's silence didn't worry me but the longer this goes on the harder it is to keep the faith. I don't really know what i'm after here. Statements from Trump indicating that everything is still going to plan? Evidence that we are making progress? I really don't know. Anything my frens can provide would be greatly appreciated. God bless you all.

I feel it heavy on my heart as well fren. 90% or more of those in my life are getting vaccinated - it's like watching people swallow cyanide voluntarily and knowing it will either make them very sick or kill them. Not only that, they know they are going to get sick most likely - but justify it with "well at least I won't get the Other sickness".
It boggles my mind and breaks my heart.
The thing is, there is free choice in choosing to know or not know. I remind myself of that every day while leaving myself open to talk or help anyone who wants to know more.
"There is free choice in choosing to know or not know...."
Fren, thank you for this. I sometimes blame myself for close friends and family not realizing what is happening all around us. Blaming myself for not speaking about it enough or shouting loudly enough for them to really understand but your words bring me solace. I realize I have said more than enough and I now understand, the choice is theirs and I'll be here if anyone close to me decides to remove their head from the sand.
