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?
When it started we were given 2 weeks covered time off if we got covid. Then they turned around and tried to say you could not even use our sick time if we weren't vaxed, including the flu. That fell off as an idle threat pretty quickly, just don't say your sick with covid,
My mother in law and her sister were getting pressure from their doctors to get it, but I kept the pressure up to keep them from it as we all already had it once. One doctor got really mad at her, but she didn't want to face me if she got it. So far so good.
The worst is my son was a couple of months from retiring from the Army after 20+ years when the A Hole Sec of Def came out with his crap. He tried to hold out but was so close he couldn't. So far he's OK. Tough guy.
