This friend & I will be 66 in Sept so she’s outlived my expectations these last 4 years w/ all of the jabs.

Last winter when I begged off of a get-together because o wasn’t feeling well, her response was that I’d made her really glad she’d just gotten her latest flu shot & booster. GAWD.

She has a daughter who works for CDC so she’ll never believe that entity is corrupt. And we are in New Mexico, a deeply blue state that perhaps did not get the real poison at all. ¿Quién sabe?

Always amazes me when you warn your loved ones about something that could kill them backed up with undeniable evidence they won’t look at. However they WILL listen to people that don’t give a flip about them who have NO credible evidence to support their claims. Mind boggling to say the least.

Absolutely, John. Very discouraging. I was flabbergasted right from the beginning at how quickly & completely the vast majority of people complied. I shed many, many tears of disbelief over the whole thing

I have come to the conclusion that all we can do is warn others of the dangers. Like the saying goes. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.

You did all you could have done. All we can do now is be there for them when they are ready.

Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts with me. It reminds me I am not alone in this journey.

So many wonderful authors here on ‘Stack to remind & comfort us we are absolutely NOT alone. They & all of the wonderful commentators saved my sanity since 2020.
