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?
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.
