My school barely allowed me to graduate I had to sue them for rejecting my exemption 3x and they took my scholarship away for noncompliance with the mandates. I was an excellent student and only 6 classes away from graduation and had to change my major to graduate remotely. To make matters worse, they ended the mandates after I graduated and started accepting exemptions after I sued. I’m two years out of college and still can’t find gainful employment. Lost all my friends because of my stance and I’ve had multiple job offers rescinded because the lawsuit shows up in my background check. I’m suspicious of any work environment I will be allowed in because all it takes is a Google search and I’m fired for being “misinformed” “anti-vax” or someone who sues people.
I’m glad the rest of the world can move on and pretend horrible life-altering shit didn’t happen. For all the conservatives who egged on lawsuits and fighting back, they all coward away from associating in public with people who actually stood up. It ruined peoples lives and it’s absolutely despicable that it happened to young people.

This battle you fought and fight still fight is not in vain. You proved to those around you and more importantly to yourself, that you have strength beyond compare.
You stood against the masses on your own. Bravo!
I have children in elementary to high school. I chewed out the school board, superintendent, local principal (on thread with many staff). I spoke to an attorney to sue for mask mandates, while sympathetic he said the financial cost of this case would be more than I could bear. I offered 10k to start it and then crowd fund. The attorney was a good man, he didnt want to take my money knowing we would lose.
I would have pulled my kids if they forced the jab.
Did I win with mask mandates? No I didn't, but the mandates and support of them waned and I was a small part of that battle.
Did you win? Yes! You don't have that toxin running through your body. You were a part of the true resistance. Yes, you were wounded, but you are victorious.
Be proud, without people like you, we would all be on vax passports at this point.
We all play roles in this war and all are needed and important.
You did great! Be proud of what you did whether the world sees it or not. God sees it! Trust in him and you will find success.
