A close family member angrily told me last night that my wife, children and I are no longer welcome around her and her children (and MY PARENTS!) until we are all fully vaccinated. She called us "selfish idiots". She interrupted every factual objection I attempted to raise about the vax with "Fauci says...."
I asked her if she had read Fauci's emails. HER: "What emails are you talking about?" ME: "The 1000+ released through a FOIA request several weeks ago." HER: "Oh, don't be ridiculous. Those emails were debunked." ME: "How so?" HER: click.
It is disgusting and heart breaking how the MSM has brainwashed the masses and caused mass psychosis and panic. Common sense and logic have been completely abandoned.
I have not encountered a single liberal or vax zealot that is willing or able to have an actual rational and fact based discussion on any topic that is counter to the narratives. I give up.
My family sacrificed me 20 years ago on behalf of one of my sisters. I completely disengaged, moved on and moved away, and I'm now only in contact with the one sister who accepts and understands why I did what I did. The last 20 years have been my happiest ever because they aren't fraught with the unnecessary drama and conflict of my family's dysfunction. I empathize that what you're experiencing hurts your heart, but you continue to have a very important part of your family and that can be your saving grace. Enjoy what you have and let the rest of them go.
