So true, and great points! For him, I think it’s the media, pressure from work (he works at a university), pressure from his family, and fear/anxiety/depression/thinking it will magically solve all his problems. He has always been paranoid of many things and unfortunately this “pandemic” has been so hard on him mentally; he considers himself “high risk” and thinks he will die if he gets covid. He lives in a fragile bubble and if I talk about the media being manipulative or that they’re lying, he gets upset. Fear keeps people like him trapped and big pharma is the only savior. I mostly blame the media. I’m so thankful that my husband at least agreed to wait a bit, but I just don’t know if or when he’ll decide that he just “wants to get it.”
Thanks for reminding me about that 18 reasons article... I definitely need to insist that he read that if he decides to go for it. But when you are brainwashed with fear, I don’t know that people make good choices that they might if they weren’t afraid... the mainstream media really needs to hang for their crimes against so many people. I just do my best to innocently point out things when I can when they sort of leak into the media, and pray for his change of heart.
I’m just grateful for good people on here who see things like I do. God bless you and everyone on here!
If he gets to the point that he’s even semi-open to it, I definitely will. That’s a good suggestion. It’s a bit of a sore spot as well, since he lost his mother to cancer last year which has been incredibly hard on him, and his dad and brothers have all gotten the jab, I don’t want to make things seem too terribly bleak for him... if that makes sense. He already struggles with depression and anxiety so it’s finding that balance of convincing him to wait without totally freaking him out of the vax and fear of losing his family. Hopefully that kind of makes sense. Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. God bless you as well!
Hey, I’m totally in the same boat! We need to have a place to talk where other people “get it”. Heaven knows regular social media is not that place! I really really hope things work out for you. Like I said, I’ll pray for your situation! Thanks for the sympathy as well.
I might have! Stuff moves so quickly around here but that story does ring a bell. I didnt realize that was you as well. I’m so sorry. That’s been a couple tough months for your family, I’m sure.
I agree, it really isn’t worth the risk. If he brings it up again about wanting to get it, I’m going to insist he get a will (I already started the process but just haven’t completed filling everything out yet) and that he up his life insurance... in order to up his life insurance he’ll have to get a physical and I know he doesn’t want to do that as he’s put on some covid pounds, so that’s my backup plan to hopefully stall him a bit longer... but at least he is waiting for now and I’m praying every day he has a change of heart. And that the media finally starts reporting on some of this.
Sadly, when I brought that up, he said that stuff wouldn’t make him feel safe, only the vax would (bear in mind that I found out recently he goes and gets the flu vax every year, so even though he knows it’s experimental, he seems to trust it), so I think until the media starts sharing that the vax is unsafe and all the other stuff IS safe, he will feel hesitant about that. Sigh. HOWEVER, he stands by my decision to not get the vax and says he will never force me to, and when I push him to take zinc, vitamin c and d (“normal” sounding vitamins), he agrees. And he did agree to wait a bit before getting it. So I like to think all hope is not lost... thanks for the support, fren. I save all these links so that if (praying WHEN) someday he does come around, I’ll have tons of resources saved up.
Yep, thankfully he is “waiting” for now at my insistence, I just don’t know for how much longer. He has sadly been completely fooled by Covid and is very anxious about getting sick. He considers himself “high risk”. I’m hoping and praying we reach that media tipping point soon! crosses fingers
A friend of mine (who is based) said her dad went and got the vax and got a blood clot which caused a stroke and he flatlined twice. Thankfully the doctors saved him. The thing that gets me most about this is how there is exactly 0 MSM reporting on strokes and deaths from the vaccine. So frustrating. I really hope the wife of your foreman gets better. I will pray for her.
It’s been on my list of “to-watch” movies as well! All the talk of “redpills” has made me curious to see it.
