-Friend's hardcore vegan "save the animals" Obama/Biden 2012 sticker wife not taking the booster because she doesn't believe she needs it to be safe from the OMGFJB variant, and is starting to question "conventional medicine"
-Bernie bro "all corporations are evil" friend of mine is not taking the booster because "Pfizer is making too much money" and he is not going to help the bourgeoise (or some bullshit like that)
-Wife's pregnant friend was hounded and hounded to get vaccinated at her OBGYN, finally went to get it at some pharmacy, and the pharmacy tech kept asking her if shes sure she wants it, eventually broke down crying, left and decided not to
-Overheard conversation between shopper and cashier: cashier was maybe 18-22, female, talking to older woman in her 60s about the jab, the older woman tells her "Honey, you don't need it, no matter how much they push it on you" and she responds "I know, I don't think I'm going to get it"
-Friend of the family's son just graduated college, looking for jobs, interviewing at my place of employment, got to talking: basically all of his friends hate Biden, the ones that got the shot do not plan on getting the booster, they are all wildly conservative (and mind you, we all live in an upper class area in a blue county in a blue state)
I work in a semi-sales role, I talk to about 20-35 people a week, and just some observations from the last few months:
-Not all millennials are libtards, despite what the media tells you, and I would venture to say they are being pushed more and more right, they just want to be left alone and they hate tech censorship
-More people than you would believe are: unvaxxed (or no plans for boosters), believe the election was stolen, believe someone(s) running things behind the scenes, and even the lefties want Trump back
Don't believe the media, we are winning the war. Don't despair, they wouldn't be kicking and screaming so hard if they weren't desperate.
Lastly: I want to say thank you. To all of you. My wife is 8 mos pregnant, wanted to get the shot a couple times, and even though we don't have the best relationship right now, all of the posts and research you have provided helped me redpill the fuck out of her. She asks me almost daily now "Why are people giving this to their kids?" or "Why are people so stupid?". I hope this gives you a little more optimism.
Lol easier said than done. My wife: x y z needs to get done befofe baby gets here Also wife: go put up christmas lights because they look pretty! Later on: why didnt you do x y z? -_-
I did this to my husband as well. (NO Kidding, hope she is not being mean about it- Sometimes we can be too catty for our own good) Just patiently explain that you asked me to do this too, honey. Which do you want done first? Also, ask her to make a list for you, just as she does for groceries, with the things she wants done first as the top of the list.
A pregnant woman goes through a lot, and for my wife “nesting” was definitely a thing. I was supportive and went along with it, but it was also difficult/annoying at times. I think it’s just a part of the process.
I was glad my husband and I had been married for a long time before we were (finally) able to have a baby. My whole personality changed and because he knew me so well, when I got kinda nut-so, he knew it wasn’t “me”, but the insane amount of hormones. Even afterwards, for about a year, it was rough. So please be patient, and find a hobby (golf, motorcycles, gym membership, etc.) where you can get away for a few hours. Come back and ask her what you can do to help (I remember not even being able to vacuum. It was awful.). Take her for a walk and hold her hand (if she wants), and then when baby comes, come home and let her go do something (have her go for a walk or go shopping) while you watch baby. These were special things my husband did that were very nice.
