We got on the discussion of the vaxx, and they (husband and wife) told us that they just got their booster shots this week. They asked if we were vaxxed, and politely I said no, and that we’re going to rely on our God-given immune system, with vitamin supplementation to protect us. Immediately the conversation changed, and then of course, the following statements and charges began:
-
“don’t you care about the health and well-being of others?
-
“It’s the most researched and studied vaccine in the history of medicines”
-
“It’s safe and effective”
I realized quite quickly that my neighbors, as sweet and caring as anyone could ask for, have been thoroughly brainwashed. I finally told them “I disagree with your statements, and I’m not going to discuss anything further, because I already know that I’ll be considered a conspiracy theorist. I respect both of you and your decision - as much as I disagree with it…I’m not here to tell you that you’re wrong - I’m here to enjoy our time together as friends.”
Those words really seemed to diffuse the situation. They had one other thing to say, as I told them that I’ll likely be losing my job next month due to the mandates. They were astonished that I would rather lose my great paying job at a Fortune 500 company, rather than get the clot shot. Regardless, we moved on with our night and had a great time together.
I’m beyond trying to help people with avoiding these shots. Sometimes it’s better to simply agree to disagree and keep your friendships. Just thought I’d share my recent experience with my frens 🐸
Slowly but surely, the 'herd immunity' thing seems to have been quietly retired from all public vaxx discussions. Replaced with 'fully vaxxed' levels.. as though that was any equivalence or substitute, given the vax isnt a substance that isnt even a vaccine and doesn't confer any sort of immunity. Maybe this 'it is incredibly well researched!' is the new lie of the day.. nothing says amazing research like all the book-burning, deplatforming and threats against actual doctors, medical records, etc going on all over social media..
Even if the lies were all true and the vaccines were perfect and did what the companies claimed.. surely the notion that your lives were held hostage by companies that can decide at no notice to jack up prices.. or demand additional concessions.. or refuse service entirely for this thing which you desperately need to keep you alive... even that perfect scenario is still a nightmare! Why embrace this vulnerability and weakness that is ripe for abuse and exploitation?
What an idiot situation for self-aware people to put themselves into! Its as if they have no care for their lives, their liberty... no preservation instinct.
