It all started with a staged intervention last weekend at a cookout we were having at the house for family members. The wife, daughter and a group of in-laws cornered me and told me I was being selfish - I was jeopardizing their safety. The nagging and "attitude" had been going on for months prior. I once again explained my position but no amount of evidence or logic offered up was going to change any minds. My entire immediate and extended family has bought the narrative and drank the Kool-Aid utterly and completely. There's no convincing anyone otherwise. Today, the wife informs me that she wants me to move out of the house that I worked my ass off for decades to provide because I don't care enough about her to take the vax. It's a sad day but I'm not wavering. I'm packing my shit and seeking alternate living arrangements. I did inform every one of them not to call me when their health starts to go south in the near future....which was met with rolled eyes and an ambivalent shrug. They all think I've gone bananas.

The simple statement about a handful of people vs the fact that we are fighting an enemy that would gladly kill tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people says that you don't have a grasp of the stakes here. Every life is precious, but you don't abandon millions of people to die to save a few. The people incarcerated are about as safe as they can be. They made a choice about entering the Capitol building. If they are patriots, each would give their lives to save the rest of us. Grow up, they are not without some blame here and rescuing them vs rescuing the entire country is a very narrow-minded view.
