I was booked to get the J&J shot later this week (obviously I don't want to get a shot at all, but I live with my family and I wanted them to finally shut up about it), and when the news came out yesterday, my parents booked a Pfizer shot for me. When I expressed how leery I am about being a guinea pig, it was basically met with scorn and ridicule. I was told that I'm "averse to risk" (read: a coward), and that I should embrace innovation. I don't know how much longer I can stand this.

I may not be able to avoid getting the vaccine for much longer. I’m not coming within a mile of the mRNA vaccine, but in your opinion is the single shot “traditional” vaccine any better?

I’m living with my parents during COVID and going to school online. They’re both highly educated and intelligent professionals (one went to an Ivy League school at 17, the other was summa cum laude). They’ve both fallen hard for the COVID crap and TDS, and it’s just sad (and stressful). When I mentioned that I’m a little nervous about the vaccine because it’s so new and the side effects aren’t proven to be worth the risk, it was met with scorn and ridicule. They both think that everything’s going to be much better now with Democrats controlling everything. They both think that Scandinavia is socialist, and because of it they support socialism. Thanks for helping me stay sane over the past year, y’all.

Edit: just for the record, we’re Jews in an extremely liberal city. God only knows how they gave birth to someone like me.

I guess I’ve just spent a bit too much time researching the sovereign citizen movement to not raise an eyebrow at the idea of the United States being a corporation. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love for what I’m reading here to be true (the apparent situation right now is just disgusting, and honestly, life under socialism or communism is not one worth living in my book), but where can I learn more and vet the corporation notion?

I'm not a Christian, but damn if it doesn't feel as though we're at a minute to Judgement.
