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?
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!”
