This friend had been awake to some extent since the time Hussein pushed Geitner as his treasury secretary. I had red pilled him, but after Jan 20th, he got completely black pilled. A couple months later he told me he is taking the vaccine because he is really scared of Covid and he doesn't want to hear anything as he can see the suffering all around him.
Since then I don't bring up vaccine with him. Today he forwarded me an article in the fringes of mainstream, that gently touched on how Vaccine efficacy might not really be 97% and how it might not be as safe as they think.
He then told me that 3 of his friends have had adverse effects (didnt go into it) and many have gotten sick and tested positive (sounded like this was his second redpill).
He then told me that he knew all along that he could not trust the narrative, but had to make a hard choice between the two things he wasnt sure of (Covid vs Vaccine)
Finally he said that he hopes the side effects are not too harsh for atleast next 5-10 years so he can at least enjoy a little bit more life.
I know how you feel, I have a few family members who took the shot even after I did give them as much info as I could at the time. After they made their choice I did not continue, it was their choice not mine to make however, all of them are ON THIER OWN, regretting it now and saying Fuck off to taking any more shots or boosters. Because, many people did not even want to go out and get the shot but, were convinced to do so in the first place and some even knew they were playing some sort of Russian roulette with each initial shot (rather they will have an adverse effect or not) are and will NOT be willing to go another round, knowing that each time they do, they could be next to bite that bullet.
What other people choose is their choice, not yours. Don't get mad at them for choosing their own path even if you see its leading them off a cliff, you can only warn them of it, pray for them if they do not heed that warning and be there to help guide them if they come around, even if it is after some damage has been done.
I agree with you. I strongly believe everyone has to make their own choices. With my parents, I have them as much info as I could and they were convinced not to take vaccines, and then they just went and took it anyway due to peer pressure. This was during 2nd wave in India. They were so scared, I could feel it and I didnt say anything.
With this friend, I couldnt say much because he made it clear to me he had no choice and I didnt dig any more.
I dont feel guilty, but I do feel sad. But I also believe Q/Trump will have an antidote for those who do not succumb. So its a race against time.
