We can’t change their minds or protect them, which is a natural instinct with us as parents or grandparents. I pray, as I hope all of you do, that many are spared. I know I’m not the only one out there worried about all of this and afraid for loved ones.

They are terrified not of Covid, but of Being Thrown Out of the Group. Of being shunned. Canceled. Cut off. Having the herd turn against them.
That's the real fear. That's why it's so hard to get through to any of them. People like you/us anger The Herd (The Herd being the establishment - the news - the government) by refusing to do what we're told and questioning authority.
That's how you get kicked out of the Group. That's how you end up isolated and alone.
Just being around you makes them "sick" in the sense of Guilt by Association. You make them "sick" - meaning "in danger of being shunned" - when you refuse the shots.
That's what they're really afraid of. It's an ancient primal fear and is very real.
Wow, your message is really profound to me. I never thought of it like that. Thank you!
I agree wit this 100%… I saw this happen it. My wife and her teacher friends group, at work in the school system. Which I believe is. Big part of the programming of our minds for te last 3 generations or more
