I keep trying to red pill my friend but it turns out she's a lost cause. Here's a text she directed at me yesterday...
Ladies-I "bought" into the vaccine and I really think I made a good choice. If you're going to bash the vaccines and masks, please take me off the thread. I'm probably saying this since I'm cranky because I've been in bed all day with vaccine side effects ?
Yeah. This is the way it is unfortunately. People have to learn by their own mistakes. Be grateful you have the foresight to not have to make this mistake.
I have friends, mostly above 55, who have had the vaccine, and we talk about it occasionally, but I was careful from the beginning not to be too adamant about what they ought to do, since it is ultimately their choice, and right to choose -- all I can do is try to provide them with as much information as I can.
I have friends and family who chose not to get it, but I never once told them that they shouldn't, just that I had no interest in getting it (and the reasons if they asked).
It's important to remember that people will make their own decisions, for better or for worse, so the best we can do is be beacons of goodness in their lives.
The tough one is when your family is talking about vaccinating their children under 10
