It's sooo fricken frustrating. Talked to my mum tonight and she spews all the talking points the lame news spews on a daily basis. She can't see the propaganda coming out of her mouth one bit. Then, she was talking about my brother will take a second shot because he wants to go on holiday in Italy next day to see the F1, and he will fricken do it, too. For a fricken holiday. And get this, she was pushing me to get it too, and when I asked why, she then spewed the selfish narrative on me and couldn't comprehend what I was asking.
I want to get a huge wet loofah and smack their heads in, there's just no saving these people. And it drives me nuts that I can't have any influence at all on their unending ticker tape narrative going on in their minds.
I just have to accept their decisions for the sake of my own sanity but at the same time, how can I give up on saving my family?
And I've been warning them to stock up on food but they are oblivious to the upcoming danger and keep trusting gov will save them.
IT'S VERY MADDENING!!!
I literally begged my parents not to get it. I explained that there are signs of it diminishing their immune systems in other ways, making them more susceptible to.... well, just about everything.
I mean.... I begged them.
My mom replied “our doctor has recommended against it at this time, until more information regarding safety comes in.”
I think my reaction to that (what they said) got to them more than anything else I’ve said or done.
I was almost in tears, and folding my hands and thanking God, aloud! (Which is very unusual for me around them, as the only emotions ever shown is happiness or anger, but never sadness, or tearful happiness, despair, depression, etc.)
I’m hoping they think about it. But they are also obsessed with fear of covid, like it’s personally out to get them. Which I get, they are older, and one has diabetes.
I know I got to them that day, but ultimately... if their doctor recommends it, they will probably get it.
I was the same with my partner, begged her to wait a bit longer, but she wouldnt budge her decision or even watch the video of the pathologist explaining what the clot shot does to you.
Will not budge and let my kids get it though .. no fn way!
