My boss had an episode on Christmas Eve. He still hasn't told me yet, but his son told me they were sitting at the dining table and all the sudden his dad turned a pale gray / green color, his eyes rolled back and to the left then his body started twisting out of the chair, completely incoherent. Friend said if he didn't catch his Dad that he would have fell into their china cabinet. Friend thought his dad was dying in his arms! Paramedics came first thing they asked was if he was vaxed and then was treating it like a death and had the whole neighborhood blocked off. Friends dad spent a day in the hospital and the prognosis was dehydration / fatigue (yea right). Soooooo, now friends dad is out to prove to everyone he's perfectly healthy and has been backcountry skiing every single day since this happened. Now he's going scuba diving next week! Apparently the whole family is worried it is gonna happen again, and have been fighting him tooth and nail to not scuba dive and to not ski alone.
Anyone else have something like this happen to their friends or family?
I wasn't going to respond back because although I can be an asshole I am not trying to pick a fight or anything. I'm not a hero. I resisted the shot for 3 reasons - I was smart enough to research as much as I can and came to the conclusion that it was poisonous, and I am morally against using something that was tested against a cell line from an aborted baby. I also didn't want to damage my heart because about 12 years ago I was struck by lightning through my bedroom window - in bed(!) - and had a mild heart attack (but no major long-term damage other than to all my electronics and my house). No way I was putting an experimental drug in my body.
Also if your son was unable to leave (I don't know how long it took for Thailand to deny travel to unvaxxed people) then there was not much he could do. They throw you in jail there if you insult their royalty. I get it. I've lived in multiple countries overseas and traveled to many more, both as military and as a civilian.
BTW - I didn't downvote you. I figured when I wrote my comment you would ignore the choice part and take it as an attack. It wasn't and still isn't. Once you realize everyone makes choices every day that can effect the rest of their lives you may see that. I could make a choice Monday to not go to work. I could get fired and it would seem to be a bad choice but I would never know if going would have been the better choice or if I would have been hit by a semi on my way.
