I want off this planet. I want to be seperated fron the Dummies. I can't take the mass stupidity anymore. I used to love Sci Fi movies, but living in one is a fricken nightmare.
I can't understand the people who are rushing to get the Vax. I used to think I was of average intelligence, but I gotta tell you, these buffoons make me feel like a genius. Or maybe it's just that I have complete faith in God and they have none. It's sad. But their lack of faith is destroying the planet, which is infuriating.
Ok just needed to rant, sorry.
I also i tiring of this shit. I have 4 med people in my family who got shots. And a poster said it is how they r trained, smart but to conform. One of the 4 is my 32 year old son. So we pray and fight and hope and never give up your long gun or side arm - never.
My cousin is a nurse and said "based on my 10 years as an RN I believe everyone should get the shot immediately!" What an educated idiot. That's what this generation of medical pros have become. Sorry, not educated, indoctrinated. Lord help us.
Nurses seem to have an inflated sense of what they are and are capable of. They think they are research scientist, but can't be bothered to research. They are simy trained to read the strip and intervene according to an if this then that model. I'm not a nurse, but my wife makes it sound like this is the case....
My cousin is a xray tech and she thinks she is a highly esteemed doctor. Always trying to give her medical advice. I shot her down quickly when she started talking about the Vax like it was God. For the first time she shut up.. but she is vaxxed. I was able to help her sister thou decide not to get the shot. She canceled her first apt. Then a few weeks later pressure from her family she made another apt. Then she texted me to tell me she is getting it and I called her immediately. She was crying because she was scared to get it but her kids were pressuring her so bad. We talked and I sent her some more things I found from here and she canceled the appointment. I'm just nervous they will keep pressuring her. But I did all I could. Except my husband and 1 of my sons everyone but all of you are the only ones. IDK.
This breaks my heart.
I’m struggling right now with how hard to push someone away from the vaccine.
I feel the best I can do is offer the bad stories I’ve seen along with the science-based concerns as I see them, but end by reminding the person that it’s their choice, and they should do their own research and then listen to their own gut about which decision will put their mind most at ease.
I always think that if I had the power to forbid someone from getting vaccinated and they end up dying of COVID, I wouldn’t want to feel responsible for it.
But the other side doesn’t see it that way, and they will relentlessly shame and try to steal that decision from you.
Nobody should be pressured into it if they fear for their life.
I feel for that poor woman you described.
She deserves a family that will support her decision even if they disagree with it.
And nobody should EVER be coerced into a medical procedure of any kind if they fear for their life because of it.
I have several medical people in my close family, including my older sister and a niece. They all went out and got vaxxed and are happy because “now they can all get together and not have to wear masks.” (I think they were kind of being forced by their work to get the vaccine).
Visiting them this past Christmas really sucked, because I traveled by car from another state, just to see them and was almost treated as if I had leprosy. I don’t wear masks and I won’t get vaccinated.
Up until now, I thought my family members were intelligent. I still love them and hope for the best—that they don’t develop problems down the road.
i wouldve turned around and gone home if they treated my like that. Luckily my family are based and my 89 year old nan said if you dont come and stay over the xmas holiday and have dinner with us we'll disown you lol she hosted all 14 of us. She hates this mask shit and refuses to get vaxed.
“The shot”
There’s 3 of them. Do they all happen to be equal, or is it all simply about compliance?
Yes master. Said all the sheep.
Yeah, that brings up another thought - just like going out to a bar, don't mix your shots or you'll regret it!
A while ago we weekended with son and wife. Before Wuhan. Maybe 2015. I tried to express my anger and dismay about how 911 was rogue govt elements as well as the conspiracy after Dealey plaza. Neither would have any of it. Generation X or whatever. They were ambivalent to the corruption that makes me sick. I love them both. But their world view or training or ambivalence about institutional corruption might shorten their lives. Hope not.
I can understand the desire for a vaccine but I dont understand taking a experimental vac for something that is not very deadly if you are healthy to begin with.
You can't avoid the virus, but you can avoid the additional risk of taking the potentially deadly experimental vax. That's the way I see it.
By the way I am sorry about your son. Will pray nothing happens to him.
Smart but to conform. Nicely put. Explains my wife, and many others. Book smart and weak versus street smart and strong.
I'm going to college for a health care profession and I'll tell you the pressure to conform is strong. You ask questions and are hated by profs and other students. There is also an epidemic of throwing theory trained medical workers into complex environments while also removing experience and application oriented workers from their posts. It creats a new bread of dumbed medical professionals. College education isn't what it used to be.
