We are all from different parts of the world with different walks of life. At the peak of the vaccine mandate, things got really intense--especially in some parts of the world. I had no social pressure from friends or family, but there were was some with my career.
The place I work at sent out a letter saying that vaccination was required for further employment. I began sending out job applications, and got an interviewed for a job that I really wanted, but they said I had to get vaccinated. At that time, I realized how much the pressure sucked for those I was reading about in the news. Very thankful now I never took the vaccine.
What is your story? Did you ever consider taking the vax?
There was pressure at work, the more pressure applied, the more pushback I apply.
Early on at work the discussions were more civil. As I just kept refusing, they would up the ante. And I would up my divisiveness.
By the end of the standoff I was openly mocking them because everyone was absent from work aside from me, the lone unvaccinated employee.
Haven't heard much since.
Nice...
Damn, my heart swelled with pride hearing this! There’s so many of us who knew something wasn’t right
Amen fren
Damn straight!
Never considered it, as I knew that was the end goal from the beginning based on the media... "Once there is a vaccine we can stop lock downs". I work in the hospital system, and was suspended for a month and a half for not taking the vax, my religious exemption was denied 4 times. At the last minute before I was supposed to be fired they sent an email saying they would "re review my exemption based on new legal guidance" and then they approved it. I immediately filed a discrimination complaint... it has been 140 days now and they still haven't completed it. They have 180 days legally. Once they are finished I will sue, as well as file a secondary complaint for them slow walking my complaint as another form of abuse and discrimination. That was the worst, all of my friends and family knew how I felt beforehand and did not get vaccinated based on the things I told them, and now thank me after seeing the sh!t show.
Keep us updated on how that goes!
Dang, Dog, friends and family listened to you!?! That’s a first. Not a single friend or family member listened to me. And not a single friend or family member has addressed the fact that I was right! Sheese.
Don't wait for it.
I can’t help myself. It pisses me off. They have every justification in the world to explain it all away. And they still fall for the newest and greatest bullshit being spewed from Mr. TV.
I’ve got to add, before 2016, most of these people would seek me out for advise because they knew I had a level head.
You can help it. Let it go if you want to have a relationship with them. Yes they were wrong, yes they attacked us, labelled us, hurt us emotionally. It was and still is painful for most of us. Still, you have to forgive them for their trespasses against you, as God will forgive your trespasses (your anger, hatred in this case). Try changing your perspective, that's really all it takes. Rather than satisfying your own desires (getting apologies, retribution), focus on helping others and easing their suffering because you're only making things worse by keeping a grudge, you'll become bitter and unpleasant to be around.
Oh, I forgive them. As I say, at least now I know who in my life would have supported the Jews to be rounded up. And I plan accordingly with that knowledge.
That's fair.
Actually most of my family are little biotches but there is a good 12 or 13 that are hardcore. Couldn’t figure out why I liked those specific family members before Covid… it all makes sense now…
Losing my job. If I didn’t get a medical or religious exemption, I would have been in danger of losing my job but that was my red line, I was willing to get fired rather than have the vaxx forced on me.
My work was asking for vaccine status because under gov contractor/vendor rules they were saying I had to get vaxxed. That's pretty fucked up isn't it? You sell us shit so were going to need you to take all of your employees and have then put this injection into their bodies changing them forever. It angers me the most that my work and all employers didn't realize shit like that is a red line and should be an instant nope.
I just ignored them and kept working. Nobody challenged me on it. I was prepared, with information from here, to explain the idiocy of it all but never needed to.
Same with my jorb. I waited and expected the same, but they just left the whole subject alone for my crew and shift. Didn't even bother us with masks except for the first few weeks the C19 circus went mainstream.
Not a fucking thing! There ain't a fuckin person on this planet that has the right or authority to force me to.put anything in my body that I don't want.
I'm also one of the lucky few. No-one tried to force me, no-one threatened my job.
However, I did make sure, as much as possible, that I wouldn't have to go into hospital for any reason whatsoever.
Same here, changed up a whole lot about how we ranch during those times just to make sure there were no hospital visits. Unfortunately my son ignored that memo and decided to work a rather cantankerous Longhorn bull calf one day when we were out shopping for a new dishwasher. Got a call from the younger daughter who said he was spitting blood. He had gotten frustrated and just decided to tackle the calf and took a headbutt to the throat. Ended up being taken to a Oklahoma City hospital. I took him some clothes, laptop, etc and the nurse was nice enough to come get it from me in the parking lot because I wasn't about to put on a mask. Then comes the hatred and phone calls from the ex and his siblings.."you don't even love him enough to put on a mask???" Yep...that's exactly the problem. Morons.
Had to retire earlier than I had planned. Early retirement better than early death
My kids no longer talk to me and I'm not allowed to meet my new grand kids. I was a single parent, so this is effectively my entire world. I can't wait until they see the truth and my family is restored.
I did not cave in.
Man...i have 4 kids under 6 who would love to have a grandparent. What a shame.
Happy to bring you into the family for our mutual wellbeing!
Praying for your children to see the truth.
same here. we have 2 kids that would love to see their grandparents, but they have completely disowned us (on both sides) over politics / vaxx.
Been 2 years since we have had more than 5 minutes away from our boys. At this point, we wouldn't have it any other way.
Hey, that may be an idea for something in our new economy/system. Families looking for grandparents, and grandparents looking for kids. At least in our system we stand a pretty good chance of finding people that are based. Just a thought....
Its really sad.
Thanks fren!! This to shall pass.
If my family did this I would not cave either. My daughter tried it with that whooping cough vaccine way before covid when my grandson was born in 2013. I told her no way and I had whooping cough at 13. I told her I won't see my grandson then.
She caved.
I'm counting on mine caving too.
Sorry to hear about that, I hope your in contact with them still. Although the way they overacted to it all is definetly going to muddy the waters of the relationship.
What a sad situation you're in, I hope your doing fine and well done for not caving, that's the extremely evil part when the DS uses love to kill, so perfidious.
Thanks you! My oldest daughter and her husband still talk to me, but they live 300 miles away.
Zero pressure. I knew this was a hill to die on.
I was denied a scope procedure to check me for cancer. I still have not had the procedure done since the hospital turned me away. I wish I knew how to sue them
That’s terrible!
Take the fenbez and ivermectin anyways.
Scummy rats.
You probably don’t need the scope, it’s a money-making procedure so they can force you into surgery. Fix your diet, quit wheat and dairy, take probiotics, and treat parasites naturally if you’re having gut issues. Find a functional medicine doctor if you need to figure out the ROOT CAUSE of symptoms.
That is malpractice on their part, and also discriminatory.
They got around the patient's bill of rights under the covid emergency measures. That is how they have been able to get away with so much egregious behavior that in the past would have led to tons of lawsuits. It will take some brave and creative lawyers to find the holes in the language of the measures to find a way to sue. Until these places, and individuals, take it in the pocket book, or are criminally liable, change is sadly not likely. Everyone with a conscience that can think straight is being slowly purged from the beast system.
When it seemed like we could lose our jobs if we didn't get it. We have kids and my husband was tempted to get it to be able to provide. I had to plead with him to not give in. He was scared of losing health insurance and the kids getting sick, not to mention losing our home. I had to pull out the big guns and remind him that God would see us through and that we come from a long line of patriots who did not comply and lost greatly for the greater good. I had to remind him that we are setting an example for our kids and we would all die on our feet before we live on our knees. It was a long night. Lots of tears but he finally seen it my way and here we are still not vaxxed and still have our jobs. Thank God we got through it. We were prepared for the very worst and still are. Stocked up medicines, food, guns, ammo, growing a garden each year, canning what we can...all the survival stuff especially our faith in God is stronger than ever. Our kids are our weakness and our strength. I would do the most horrible things imaginable to protect them.
Beautiful testimony. Thank you for sharing your story. It is a reminder of what is truly important in the swirling midst of the illusion of confusion. Thank you Patriot for setting the example for future generations. o7
Talk about being a "helpmeet"! Support and encouragement. Your husband is a lucky man.
My work sent out an email asking everyone for the vax status and if those who did not get vaxxed were planning on getting vaxxed. I never responded to the email, even after threats.
Secondly, I discussed with a Lawyer the option of suing my immediate supervisor and the supervisors up the line personally if they told me I needed to get vaxxed to keep my job. He stated that the company was in blatant violation of Fed and State EEO laws by even asking about my medical condition.
The company never went beyond inquiring about vax status. I put enough rumors out about the consequences to supervisors personally if they ordered someone to get vaxxed to keep their job.
many of us here at work gave them the big middle finger when they started down this path..we are a military supplier we told them if you try to force an unapproved vaccine we are all walking and we will shut your ass down.personally i got into it with the HR director and told him go ahead and my lawyer will tear you to shreds..didnt take too long and they backed off......still a pureblood notta takin it..
Nothing pressured me to get the clot shot. I just refused to be a sheeple!
Never felt pressured. Thank god I started my own small biz 11 years ago
Funerals in California put limits on the gatherings. Outside... couldn't even pay your respects at a funeral
I was run out of my job, luckily found a new one before my job placed me on unpaid leave
I knew when the influenza vaxxines were introduced as a voluntary policy that they would eventually be mandated. Sadly, I was the only one pushing back and I could see then what was coming down the road. I read the Influenza Pandemic Protocols that the Federal, State, and local governments were implementing in conjunction with the health care system back around 2010. The ACA was part of that coordination because of the data collection of medical information. Everything that we have lived through with this Covid plandemic was laid out in those protocols. They didn't invent it with Covid - it was already there.
This is not a criticism, but food for thought. God always sends watchmen on the wall to sound the alarm. The problem has always been that no one listens in order to avoid the destruction that is coming. This traumatic experience we have lived through the last couple of years should be a good lesson in that maybe we should pay a little more attention to those watchmen that God sends our way and at least consider what they are trying to say rather than so easily dismissing them. I desperately tried to warn my colleagues about the dangers ahead. Vaxxine mandates was only just one issue of many. They simply labeled me as a nut job and said - that can never happen here. Well, here we are and this is just getting started. There is more to come.
I am glad things have gotten better for you and I am sure this has all just been a means to get you where you are supposed to be. Good luck. Just remember, much of what they want to impose on the public begins being structured within the private and especially public health care systems. Keep your eyes open so you are in a position to warn others of what you see. Be the watchman.
The increasing pressure and sometimes punishment to get the shot from my workplace actually compelled me to start my own business to try and take back some sense of control over my life and that of my family. I used a big chunk of our life savings to start it and although it’s one of the hardest things we’ve ever done (family), I often wonder how I made it in corporate America for two decades. I was never going to get the shot…ever no matter what that would eventually mean. Now, there is no going back and I’m okay with that. “May the bridges I burn light my path!”
One of the few upsides of the whole scamdemic is that it got the closet fascists to unmask themselves and show how many would really be "Good Germans" despite their claims otherwise.
And to our horror billions turned out to be bots
Fortunately my husband and I are retired so we have not experienced the work pressures. Other than his sister on the east coast, we have no family to speak of, so no pressures there.
However I've attended massive hearings at the Utah state capitol about vax mandates. Our purple governor Cox refuses to ban vax mandates and exerted tremendous pressure on the state legislature not to do so.
We knew from early on the mRNA vaccines were questionable at best because of the prior animal studies.
The masking pressure here in Utah has been considerably worse I think. Salt Lake County school kids are still masked.
I won't travel by air anymore. I think my elderly aunt wants me to come back to see her in Ireland, and I don't know what I'm going to tell her next time we talk. Ireland has lifted many restrictions to accommodate Ukrainian fakeugees. I don't trust their government though, because they can change their minds about vaxxes in the blink of an eye. Never mind being in a tube 30,000 feet in the air under the control of a vaxxed crew.
This, plus Ireland invaded by the barbarian hordes, are what are killing me.
Pray that I can talk my aunt and uncle to get one of my cousins to install Zoom on a computer so we can at least visit by teleconference.
Vaxxes are a subject we just don't bring up. Only one time did we feel compelled to say something to friends about them, because they are LDS and have missionary-age sons. Told them at least a year ago we had concerns about young men getting the COVID jabs (they are under tremendous pressure by their church) but we left it at that.
I couldn't see my 1st grandchild until she was 2 months old because I wasn't vaxxed.
I would still not have seen her if my daughter hadn't loosened up about it.
I'm not getting the vax.... For anyone/anything.... This is the hill I will die on....
The only thing I was concerned about was how many people was it gonna take to hold me down to get a death shot.
But nothing pressured me. The more they pushed, the easier it was to defy “them”. There isn’t anything they can take from me to force me to do anything. You want it, come and get it.
Thankfully I did not need to get vaxxed to continue at my work, and since I had gotten covid previously in 2020 I was immune to any new variants or strains which were weaker than the original I got back then. My whole family got covid at the same time so we all acquired immunity pretty quickly. None of us got vaxxed, though my mom was the one pressured the most by her job to get it, but she filed for a religious exemption and got it.
I never got any real pressure from my friends either, but they would ask me why I just wouldn't get it. I told them my reasons (previous infection, acquired immunity, don't want to be forced by government to do something I don't believe in, etc.) and they were so confused why I didn't just give in like they had. They truly thought they were doing something heroic. I told them they're just falling in line like everyone else and I haven't really heard from them since. If they end up dead one of these days from the effects of the vax I won't be surprised but I'll still be saddened that I couldn't do anything to stop it.
Raised by based Grandparents and never once even considered it. Never got tested and never once put on a mask. Luckily, we live outside a very based small town in South Central Oklahoma. Wife lost her job managing a clinic over the whole ordeal. She was hired at a much better place, who will not follow these mandates, and given a huge raise. For the negative..my once semi-based daughter, who helped me make Ron Paul billboards in the past, decided that I was a conspiracy theorist who didn't deserve to see his new grandson because I wouldn't take the poison jab. She also now has given her mother (my ex) a book to explain and help her with all of her micro aggressions..LOL Haven't seen my daughter or my grandchild since about a week after they started pushing the vaccines. Keep praying that she has grown some sense and we don't get a terrible call about health issues for the grandson.
Pretty sure I could at least be on the podium for Most Based if we had a contest. I would give a speech thanking God for giving us His Word and THE ONLY PLAN that can be trusted, my Grandparents for teaching me to never trust the government and that "expert" just means a drip under pressure, Ron Paul for really waking me up in 2007, and Major General Smedley Butler for writing "War is a Racket", which also kept me from re-enlisting and has kept me from ever participating in Veteran acknowledgements. I see it more as a cancer than something to have pride in. Don't take that wrong..I love my brothers and appreciate what all of our based military members THINK/THOUGHT they were/are doing, but nothing we ever did had a thing to do with the DEFENSE of this nation and people.
None.
Although I did receive a letter from my Gov six months after they started all this crap, telling me that if I felt the need, I could now open my windows as I was supposedly in a high risk (injury's from serving in the military) category.
I threw it in my bin as I went out and about my business.
Even today I went to my Dr's surgery, stepped through the door and the receptionist told me to put a mask on, I told her to stop being stupid, then looked around at all the other muppets sat there with freaking masks on!
Apart from that none.
My sister said I couldn’t see my niece and nephews. Screw that. I haven’t seen them for over a year now, and I’m totally fine with it.
Pressure from work, pressure from family, pressure from spouse and relatives, neighbors, etc.
It was very hard and the isolation was crazy. Even to this day at work I and two others are still treated like pariah.
It's all good though. I know I am much stronger now. I can live with the darts being thrown, smears, etc. It no longer effects me like it did before. I give all credit to God and Jesus. It was their armor that got me through. I feel they aided my mind also with empathy for those poor souls hurling the stones.
Not from family or work, no pressure at all. However, it was very depressing not being able to travel freely. So the only pressure was from myself at times. But, I made it and can now travel freely again to Europe. Yet, I think some flight planning is required to acquire path of least resistance.
Right up until the SCOTUS decision I spent nearly every weekday of 2021 expecting to be fired the next time I said no. After that decision they never brought it up again and even gave me a sudden raise.
Me, never. My dad agreed he would never...until he decided he would, I was livid. I gathered all the evidence not to do it, he then told me to stop as he was going to get it. The last thing I said was I didn't want to lose him as half of my bio family is gone. He decided he wouldn't do it. My brother got the first jab and stopped there...as far as I know.
0 pressure for me. Still ready to take up arms if necessary.
Wife had to do the whole exmption fight but you anons helped so much with the legal jargon. Much love to this community.
pressure at work - we switched insurance companies at the beg of the year - it was going to cost us more (previous one was utter crap no one accepted it) so I went from paying out of pocket like 5 bucks a month for insurance to now just over 300 based on my choices.
Work though was willing to subsidize $250 if you had proof of the jab - this covered most people's expenses so it would be free insurance. I knew of a few people at work that got it just for that since adding an additional $250/mo expensive (more if they had spouse/kids on insurance) was not something they could afford to do.
I plan to bring it back up to our HR if this will continue - the company should just subsidize everyone (at this point it is subsidizing more than 50% of the company anyway).
For me the additional $3k yearly expense was something I could thankfully absorb easily, but I feel for those who were not in the same financial position to do so.
The legality of this is a very fine line. You can't charge extra for women who are of childbearing age, for example as that is discrimination in the group and the point of group insurance is to share and spread the risk.
Early on, I had a wait and see approach because I have a history of seizures. (It is controlled- last one was over 15 years ago.) I was filling out an application recently though and the ADA questions do include epilepsy. Even though that is not my actual diagnosis, it never occurred to me that I could sue for discrimination.
Like the new cost of insurance was because we had a much better provider that was actually accepted at hospitals so everyone would see the increase but if you have proof of the jab they would pay 250 because you were "doing the right thing to curb the spread" since they claimed most of the 2020 and 2021 insurance claims were covid.
We have a company survey going on Monday - thats definitely something I am going to be bringing up now that the "science" has caught up why shouldnt everyone get the same 250 credit or chaotic scenario (which would suck but I think would help red pill) remove the 250 credit from everyone.
At my old job, they kept asking everyone to put their status in a database. I just ignored the emails. There was a townhall one day. Company is based in Boston/New York but has offices all over the country. They weren't prepared. In the Zoom chat, there were a lot of 'so, are you going to fire me if I don't agree?' and since it was being recorded, it ended up being a very wishy washy call. Afterwards, one of the C-Suite who couldn't get on the call sent an email around that was a tirade of how stupid people were - just watch the news! Major eyeroll. (I am so tempted to send him an email asking if he plans on sending a follow-up apology. Asshole.) I left at the end of last November and they were planning on charging extra premiums for health insurance for those that were not vaccinated startingin January 2022. I hope someone is suing their ass for discrimination.
I didn't have any pressure, a lot of my family took it but never said a word to me to take it, they're good people and understand the choices of others.
I didn't get it from work as I'm self employed builder, I work for a few teams and it's not their place to say so they didn't.
I would say the MSM was the biggest pressure but I don't watch their bullshit so it didn't do much.
Then all of my friends didn't take it either.
Smooth sailing for me
I stood firm and was willing to do what i had to not to ever get the jab. A few music festivals tried to pull vax requirement so i just printed a vax card. Used it a few times no issues. The tickets were purchased before the vax requirement, i did not go on to buy tickets to shows that stated vax or mask was required
