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.
I think your approach of asking questions is a great one. Trying to convince someone in her position just triggers cognitive dissonance and outright rejection of the information. Keep asking questions. "But isn't the fact that the vaccinated are more likely to have no symptoms a problem? Aren't they more likely to spread the virus because they don't know they have it?" There are so many things you can ask that will roll around in her head until she wakes up a little.
