I’m so sorry this is happening to your sister! The discrimination is very real and the hate/tension is palpable.
My sister is a nurse in Canada and is livid with me for even asking her about the movement and expressing concern over the vax. I grew up in a strong Christian family who is now experiencing horrible division over this. It’s awful and I’ve been in tears over it so much this week. My siblings are really upset and concerned about my “extremist/far right” beliefs and all seem to think I’m crazy. The pain and rejection is so real and I’m sorry that both you and your sister are experiencing it.
God has been bring me back to this verse so much these week:
Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.“
He hears our cries and He is answering in His perfect way! I’m praying for strength and perseverance for your sister in the midst of the persecution she is experiencing - and for you as well!! God sees you! He hears you! He loves you and is with you!!!
I’m so sorry you are feeling so alone. Hang in there! I was feeling so alone last year, and especially when the rest of my entire small family got vaccinated. My sister and I used to be close but ever since 11/20 our relationship is strained. She wants to stick her head in the sand and doesn’t want to hear anything from her crazy older sister. The good news is that my mother has realized how much I know and is not taking the booster and will readily watch or read what I send her (and she is a retired nurse!) And my stepmother is red-pilled thanks to me and will not be getting the booster or letting my father get one. Unfortunately she had a TIA event 3 weeks ago (but is fine now.)
So it has gotten easier as my family wakes up. But I will say that these are the more conservative relatives. My husband’s liberal side has dug in and shows no sign of waking up - and he has a large family!
I leaned a lot on God when I struggled. He always helps us 😊
When my family, sisters, disowned me for.my views IL went about my merrybwaybwith a smile.
Now they want to make up but keep their bullshit views. Nope. I'm happier without them in my life making me miserable. And, I know at some point they'll know i was right. Then maybe we can talk again.
I hate to hear these stories. We're all multi-faceted individuals. Love your friend/family, or move on. Refuse to discuss the topic of the jab. No need to isolate yourselves from your support system. If these people are adults, mentally competent,then they've made their decision. Respect it as you would expect yours to be respected. Use your powder to go after the government mandates. Refuse to fight with individuals. Won't get you anywhere but alone. .

That's some good advice. Encouragement is a gift.
