Since March of last year our weekly meeting of about twenty-five has been conducted through MS Teams. Most are engineers, and quite a few have PhDs. I have all but given up given up on trying to red-pill any of them, though I have been forceful enough in the past that they all know where I stand.
Usually I skip the first five minutes of shooting the breeze, because I can't take the sheer stupidity of what gets unquestioningly bandy about. But today I slipped and was only one minute late. A guy who is retiring at the end of the month was relating how he and his wife got jabbed in February, but (surprise) his wife got CV and has been sick for a week. They're still sharing a bed, but no sex. He is getting tested in a few days, and hoping his anti-bodies pull him through.
The ignorance was already pretty thick, but then he said at least her symptoms are less severe than the unvaxxed. And that 98% of those hospitalized with CV are unvaxxed.
This opened the floodgates of speaking in tongues: so-and-sos father died of CV, somebody's father in law died, was going to go home to India but the bodies are stacking up, Indonesia is the new hot spot, on and on. Not a glimmer of awareness of reality, like say, of VAERS, or that new CV cases and deaths have a strong correlation to vaccination adoption.
So depressing. Makes me not give a shit about anything having to do with work, or our software products. Early retirement is looking better and better.
I agree. It is in our best interest and theirs that we continue to try. For example, how guilty would you feel knowing that by telling people what may be happening with microclotting in their blood you might be able to prolong their life or prevent their death if they are willing to just look into it and get on some sort of regimen. Apparantly Ivermectin is effective in treating post vaccine inflammatory syndrome.
Did you know? The first rule of Satanism is "Never give advice unless you are asked." Sounds like basic good manners, right? For those of us with a religious upbringing, we know that there are sins of commission and sins of ommission. Now, to be effective, we have to know who we have developed good enough relationships with that we may have the freedom to offer our advice. It reminds me of when I was a child. Not sure if others experienced this but in my small church many were actively evangelistic. Not something we see much of today outside of LDS communities .
I have found that when I ask politely, "may I please share some information" or "would you like my advice" many people do allow me to share. The ones who refuse to hear me now may reach out to me at another time and by respecting their "no" now I think they will be more inclined to continue to be in relationship with me. It is VERY difficult for me to not speak with the people I love and I have lost at least one dear friend by not accepting their no and trying to force them to hear me.
