So I was hanging out with a friend who is a centrist but seems to lean left, he knows I am conservative, but I don't go to deep into politics with him, just that I don't trust the establishment of either party. He knows I am unjabbed and never wore a mask.
Anyway, he brings up the jab. Said he went to get an MRI in his neck area. The tech asked him if he was jabbed, then asked when, he told the tech mar/apr, don't know the date, the tech pressed for a date, he didn't remember.
I was thinking this was leading to a booster question. But, not even close. He questioned the tech about why it mattered. The tech said the vaccine is showing up in MRIs, inflammation and showing past the blood brain barrier. My friend was shocked.
He is not getting boosted, hope he doesn't have complications from his initial doses, but glad he is waking up. He started questioning masks and said anyone that still wears one is suspect. He also questioned why they are still pushing the vax even though it does nothing for omicron. He says the majority of people he knows got omicron with the vax and without and all had similar symptoms.
People are waking up in stages. Waking up doesn't have to mean become fully awake. Waking up can be simply questioning things for the first time. Glad to see it happening, it gives me hope.
We have neighbors who are still quarantining. Saw them a few days ago (safely across the street from us) and they said they look forward to having playdates some time soon. I don't know how some can STILL be in quarantine.
My sister is a loony lefty who I used to have fights with about not vaccinating her kids right sway until school. Fast forward to my awakening in 2015. I apogize to her for my opinionated stance after research. Seriously humbled myself.
Fast forward to 2021 and she is fully boosted as is her whole family including my immunocompromized niece who had heart surgery at 18. They are still in quarantine and they live in the heart of Florida. She told me DeSantis is a crazy to which I replied with a picture of his last opponent passed out in a pool of vomit and gay sex drug partying.
Anyway as soon as it was uncool to be anti-vax among her set she turned about. World is upside down. Honk honk
Going to go in a corner and weep for humanity now.
What a shame!
Wow that's quite the turn around. I'm sorry to hear that about your sister.
People are still quarantined?? Sorry, not being rude but I guess just stunned. I live in such a conservative area that I haven’t even heard the word quarantine since like end of 2020. Myself or my immediate family never had to do it. I do consider myself lucky. I have a good friend in a sorta liberal area that hasn’t had to quarantine in about a year or more. But they don’t even refer to it as that. I think they just say they’re sick and staying home
It still is.
We're in a pretty conservative area, which is why it's even more surprising.
Then they’ll find out your kids aren’t vaxxed and won’t want those play dates anymore
They've been making exceptions for a while for COVID vaxxed close friends but they know we aren't so they won't even get near us in the street. It's so sad because they are absolutely the nicest people but just not handling this very well mentally. I'm willing to bet good money this Mom doesn't know her kids classmates are allowed to go to school without getting childhood vaccinated in our state.
