Within the past two weeks, in my circle, one friend went to the ER with heart problems, a colleague's father-in-law "died suddenly," and another colleague's child has developed a coughing fit that lasts all day. The child has missed a month of school. I strongly suspect the latter two were vaxxed; I know the former is.

I am glad we took our stand last year though we almost lost everything. We were threatened, marginalized, and fined. Still, we feel for the injured and the lost. We pray for justice for those who perpetrated these crimes.
