That's why I chose not to get vaccinated, it had nothing to do with politics or anti-vaxxer, or anything like that, I simply didn't trust these vaccines. Now that these types of stories are coming out and I've been exposed to covid numerous times including by my gf who's had it twice, but I STILL haven't gotten it, I think I made the right choice.
Learn the actual facts, not the spun, dominant narrative … assess risk/benefit, render a choice. That’s the way I see it anyway. Choice. Not coercion, not mandate, but choice. The more armed you are with real info, true info, not MSM regurgitation, not conflict of interest info, actual Science, not what pharma tells us about their product, not people pharma pays and influences … not “THE SCIENCE ™️“, not Drs under pressure to fall in line, actual scientific data like was done decades before … you get that all down, you can make a better decision for yourself, whether you take it or not. A decision … a choice, not the bullshit “just roll up your sleeve and take the damn shot or you’ll lose your job, mobility, etc, etc, etc and you won’t get medical services“. Yeah, compassionate humans. F those people. Meanwhile, every new case in our place, all vaxxed. Maybe we shouldn’t take them in and treat them. But I’m not a POS human being that thinks that way. Everyone deserves care. Religion, race, orientation, sex, etc, etc, etc, DOES NOT MATTER. You treat people who need help, period.
Yeah, sore spot for me. Zero respect for these people. Thankfully, with family and closest friends, there may have been different levels of disagreement, but that’s all it was. Certainly nothing broken. But a slew of others, mostly some coworkers, we are “fine”, but they dropped mightily in any respect I had for them. I probably did in their eyes, as well, and that’s ok with me. Sometimes you hit a point and true colors are shown (for both sides) and there’s no going back. It’s unfortunate, but whatever. My life isn’t any less rich.
And a couple of apologies for such a firm stance have been issued, after them getting C19 for the second/third time and missing a couple of months as a vaxxed and boosted to my one time missing the minimum required, even as a T2 diabetic … they realize and admit now that this injection wasn’t all it was cracked up to be and that it shouldn’t have been forced/coerced as they once believed - that’s a tough thing to admit so I accepted the apology, but to me it was a defining moment for their character in my eyes.
