That's my experience too, of long-time friends who were so eager to get jabbed becuase it made them feel "safe" and that they were doing something for the greater good, being socially responsible, etc. These same friends have now cancelled me from their lives because I won't go along with this particular social delusion.
I got word a couple of weeks ago that one of these former friends, fully vaxx'ed and boosted, had suffered a TIA (mini-stroke). I feel so sad for him and his wife, but I cannot get updates on his condition, he won't return my texts or calls.
The others who unfriended me were somewhat less "friendly" to begin with, but were acquaintances and I have no idea how they're doing.
I do know THIS much, however: All those people I refer to were at one time, some years ago, quite proud of their "counter culture" lifestyle. Purported to "march to a different drummer," were functioning self-declared "hippies" who had jobs, hated "The Man" (who was anyone who was Republican, a politician, or military), and had delusions about how they "raged against the machine."
Then covid came along and they all BECAME "the man".... purveyors of government edicts, double masked outdoors or indoors, social distanced from everyone, humorless, and highly intolerant of people like me who did not get jabbed. They had become the establishment... they had become everything they once declared they stood against.
And my conclusion, my search for a word to describe them, is that they were outright FRAUDS all along. They pretended to be counter culture because it was easy and trendy to do so.... it cost them nothing.... it was a pose they could adopt without consequences. They never lost jobs or were ostracized because of their poses, and were accepted in their own circles.
And it turns out that I was merely on the fringe of that group, the only thing we shared was an interest in performing music together. I was all the things that their fraudulent poses supposedly hated.... former military, very Conservative, and unabashedly a Capitalist and making the best of it.
So now I know who my friends truly are, and I now know who the frauds are too.
Yeah, I can’t get over how the “counterculture” flipped so easily. You’re right though, there’s no way they really believed in it. It seems like most people don’t hold any really strong convictions anymore- at the first sign of trouble they will abandon almost anything. Bunch of damn cowards. I was a hippy when I was a teen lol and still haven’t changed. I’ve only gotten more info on the situation that has strengthened the beliefs I had back then. I always knew big pharma was fucked. And that something was wrong with bush and 911. I just didn’t know back then how deep the rabbit hole went. I now know that even the hippies were a set up by the cia lol. Shit is insane. It did play a part in me waking up though. As far as this vax stuff goes with my friends, I just went at it in the most loving way I could. Sent them the info and told them it was something I was really concerned about bc I love them so much and that it would hurt me if anything bad happened to them. They still chose to get the shots, and even tho it makes me sad, I respect their freedom to make their own decisions. I did my part in giving them the info, so there’s nothing else I can do. I still love my friends so I’ll still stay close to them. I just hate the thoughts in the back of my mind. Like the info that came out a couple weeks ago about the possibility of the vaxxed getting HIV. Then the most recent development of the vax changing your dna. I look at my friends in silent pity
You are very noble for holding those thoughts and praying for your friends. I try to be that person, but often fail. Fortunately my wife is a strong prayer warrior and she acts as my moral compass at times when my generosity and Christian love falter. We try to be IN this world but not OF this world. It mostly works for me, but not all the time.
God bless you, your family, and your friends, however this turns out.
Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of anger going on over all this. I wish death on these elitist evil fucks daily 😂. I just did well on the “being nice to my friends” part haha none of us are perfect and I like to think that in this whole vax situation, our anger is righteous anger. Good luck to you and your wife too ❤️
Fascinating... and terrifying at the same time. I wonder to what degree a person who watches a moderate amount of TV, BUT with a perpetually skeptical mind, they can resist such programming? That would be an interesting study.

Amen. Thanks.
The TV seems a huge part of the brainwashing to take a poisonous experiment.
People that do not own a TV, rarely seem to be jabbed.
There is a patent for the TV brainwashing you: US-6506148-b2
Snowden spoke of this technology already being used nefariously.
