I worked in classified government work and girlfriend works in BioChem. Both of us are heavily against COVID vax because of their unstable and experimental nature. We told the (future) Mother in Law to not take the vax for months and for multiple occasions.
Unfortunatley she took the vax anyway. She's now in critical care for brain aneurysm.
Don't take this vax. Don't bet your life on it.
There needs to be a better way to communicate with seniors. They are gullible with doctors and media. Their fear in their old age is greater than any argument a young person might give scientifically. Maybe if you threatened mil with something else that was greater than the other fear of dying .....I dunno. It's sad. They wont listen to those closest who have superior knowledge.
It's a miserable catch 22.
I went through this with my stepmother.
She was absolutely terrified of getting the virus. As her caregiver, I had to live with the consequences. I talked her out of the shot for a long time, but finally gave in.
I know that any sickness she gets will be labeled COVID. She has had pneumonia and bronchitis so many times, over the years, and the next one will likely land her on a ventilator. When they kill her I will be the bad guy for talking her out of the shot.
She had a long life and she's much happier without the worry. I'm much happier knowing that I don't have to keep explaining to her why I think it's a mistake.
What a terrible conundrum, though!
But they wont kill her. Cuz you'll put ivermectin under her tongue and hopefully she'll pull thru.
I have thought about this a lot and the best you can do is find a way to cut their time watching and reading fake news media. That helps clear up the fog of misinformation coming from the mockingbirds.
That would work. I should have spent more time entertaining my mom but was busy working.
Trust in "authorities" is deeply ingrained in the Greatest Generation. Add to that the vulnerabilities of age and you're right - it's hard to talk them off the clot shot. Baby boomers are easier to convince because they are (mostly) Internet savvy and can research for themselves. But not all - the fear of losing their job or going against the grain of most of their friends or losing the ability to travel hinders some.
Yup. But if a young one craves to a death shot to keep his job or go on vacation, well that irrationality, I'll never get.
