Vaccination was rarely a controversial topic and typically had bipartisan support. I don't even remember it being political in my entire life. So it doesn't surprise me that so many people took it, particularly with coercion added on top.
What surprises me is that the deep state made a big deal out of it. If they just shut thier mouths I reckon they would have gotten many more jabbed. The question is why didn't they? Now they have pissed off a huge part of the population and damaged the credibility of the medical industry irreparably.
I'm in San Diego , it is getting more freaky here , was more conservative in years past , now not to sure , heading north it is , Carlsbad area up to OC are Trump counties !
I'm if your blood of course, My church has a big presence here several campuses in San Diego my pastor was the one that was all over the news being called a murderer because we stayed open I really believe that our church is holding San Diego together as far as pure bloods I pastors pretty strong speaking Boldly against all things democrat Covid trans and anything else these sickos try to throw on us
Yes I don't get out to East County too often but I drove to Alpine a few weeks ago and I was so happy to see the Trump flags , something you don't see in my San Diego neighborhood , I put a flag out a small garden flag and it was stolen and a rock was left on my door step with a warning note .. that said BLM only understand !
Another time a rock went through my window and I live in a very affluent No crime (educated by degree only ) area a bunch of liberal nut jobs!
Wow, I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with that. I’d be packing my bags for Santee or Lakeside after that crap. There’s a road behind Santee Lakes that I think every other house has multiple Trump flags flying high.
San Diegan here. My experience is anctedotal, of course, but hopefully, it helps. Very few people that I know questioned the narrative. The majority of people I personally know lined up for the injection ASAP. My neighbors were all angry that the illegal border crossers got priority for vaccination over them and were conspiring together on strategies to game the system to get their injections sooner. Once it was freely available to all, my neighbors were furious that we refused to get injected and pressured us to comply. Our friends just assumed we were vaccinated at first, and were shocked when we declined going to their vaxx-only parties. Now that they know, the friends will only see us outdoors i(which is fine; we're glad they still see us at all). Back before they realized we had chosen not to get injected, our friends with older kids said they pitied us for having one too young to get the injection right away. Once it was approved for younger kids, almost all my son's classmates (former classmates; we homeschool now) got their kids injected right away -- even the ones who were were vaccine hesitant about all the vaccines needed to enter school. My friends with younger kids are now talking about how bad they feel about forgetting the booster right at the booster mark and lagging taking the kids in by a few weeks. The few friends who questioned the narrative were easily coerced into it. A few were required by their employers. One wanted a medical procedure done and the doctor refused to do it until injected. The schools aggressively mandated it (there are lawsuits pending so the mandate is stayed for now, but many got their kids injected once they heard about the mandate). I have been shocked that my normally logical friends and neighbors have thrown all logic out the window over this.
PS: Two of my neighbors got stage 4 cancer out of nowhere in the autumn of 2021. Neither will consider it may have anything to do with the injection. Both said they are grateful to be injected and "protected" while they are immunocompromised.
Geez, that’s quite the opposite experience from me in East County. I assume this is probably Clairemont/Mira Mesa area since that seems to be the pocket of lunacy from my experience.
Thanks for the perspective. I could write something very similar for the area that I live in.
I am still just amazed how many people went along with the narrative. The knowledge was there, they could read and research the jab, but instead chose to just comply. My opinion is that the closer you are to a major city on the west coast the worse it is. My neighbors that are normally very conservative complied because the regional politics (leftist religion) around put so much pressure to do so.
Fear causes irrational thinking, especially when there's coercion. If and when the truth is widely established, the psychological state during this time will be studied and shocked by it.
I believe they willfully chose to keep the blinders on. The narrative made no sense at all and it changed weekly in equally non-sensical and conflicting ways, yet they refused to re-think it even when I pointed out how non-sensical and conflicting it all was. I can draw no other conclusion than they are simply not willing to stop trusting "the system."
Nearly 90% of San Diegans have at least 1 vax?
A relatively conservative area?
Sounds high, even for a liberal area in the US.

Your answer is right there in your last sentence! NCSWIC! Why bother the enemy while it's busy destroying itself!
Yeah, sounds like a load of crap to me. I do know quite a few Trump supporters here who are jabbed, to be fair, but many who are not as well.

North County, East county and surprisingly enough a solid chunk of the South Bay are pretty conservative.

You are very perceptive about neighborhoods! FYI, my friends who have resisted the intense coercion are in Santee!!!!
I have noticed a few ultra libs in Santee. Thankfully they are not the majority.
