I had some really great friends who were amazing until the pandemic and vaccination rhetoric started.
They were oblivious to Biden’s issues/believed the Trump rhetoric, but were still good people.
I’ve now been ostracized from the group because I sourced material saying the vaccines aren’t as safe or effective as they were being told, and that ivermectin has more scientific backing than it just being “horse paste.” They are all incredibly intelligent, but they’ve fallen for the narrative and refuse to consider and other perspective.
Anyone have tips for dealing with this? You think we’ll be able to patch up these relationships when things really hit the fan?
Sometimes I regret researching and redpilling because my life has been so incredibly altered...
This is true.
I should’ve listened to this before I fell for the bait of, “What do you think of vaccine passports and mandates?” in our discussion. I was told the journal articles I sourced were “bad science” and took it personally.
Too late now, I guess. Perhaps God’s grace can save our friendships since my human faults messed them up.
I've had similar outcomes simply because I forgot to remember that there are questions that shouldn't be responded to.
Best to respond with "dunno, what do YOU think?" and keep quiet.
Exactly.
