Nice lunch, had a great time. Avoided talking about the jab until she says that she can't wait to get her booster. Her daughter is 30-years old and she is questioning big-time. My bff is telling me that I haven't seen what this virus does to people. I tried to tell as much as I could without fear mongering. She tells me about people that she knows that have got it and died and it's killing me not to tell her that it's the protocols that are killing people.
The daughter was way more based than I expected but I'm so shocked by my bff's reaction to this. Maybe because she works kind of with doctors, I don't know. I'm just praying that they're both in the placebo group.
The only two things that I asked her which maybe may have started some wheels turning were 1) When in the history of viruses has a mutation ever gotten stronger? and 2) Have you ever witnessed a virus that has divided more people than this? It's so frustrating because she has WAY more people smarts than me so I will continue to bite my tongue because I absolutely adore her and her family.
you probably let someone go through an entire day out with spinach in between their teeth without telling them because you don't want them to be embarrassed.
On a more serious note, IMO friends are supposed to be able to lean on each other, not walk on eggshells around each other. BFF? means " best friend forever ". That's sad, and I'm sorry.
Actually I do tell people when they have something in their teeth or if they need a mint. While I agree with your last point, my bff has been under a ton of stress and throwing a bunch of really bad information at her was the last thing that she needed. She works in the medical system and the personnel system is short staffed and short-tempered. I only tell her limited info because even though she's not seen the kung-flu first hand, who's she going to be inclined to trust? The medical community that she's been in for almost 40 years or me? If she knew 1/4 of what we all know here, she'd retire and head for the hills. Fear and money are powerful tools being used against her at the moment.
first part was a joke, but it's nice to know I was wrong about that XD
Obviously you know your situation better than I do, so take what I said as an outside perspective, maybe bare it in mind, because to me it does seem like a heart bending situation that I don't think I could personally deal with. I think it makes you a better friend to her than she is for you if anything. Also bare in mind that " people smarts " tends toward agreeableness or tendency to go with what is perceived to be popular ideology... folks like this are very susceptible to MSM style propaganda and false narratives.
A lot of people have been lied to for a very long time and if they survive to a realization of the truth it may very well shatter them. I guess if you are unable to wake her up than you should just try to be there to catch her when she falls.
Once again, my perspectives. Hope you can find some peace with this situation.
