His daughter is totally anti-vax... and she's also done a number on him which basically nailed it down that he would never get the 2nd shot. Everyone else in the family is fully vaccinated. Not long ago I sat in the waiting room of a medical office... and got involved in a conversation with an older lady who was totally anti-vax. She was adamant and even angry about it.

Point is... sometimes people can have a vaccine... and then later coincidentally suffer from an unrelated medical condition... and the reflex would naturally be to blame it on the vaccine. The truth is nobody really knows most of the time, and fears should be respected. My brother misses out on a lot of events because he cannot produce a complete vaccination card. He's aware of this, but still refuses to go through with his shots. I can't say I blame him.

At this point all we can do is hope that this whole COVID/Delta/Omicron thing dies down sometime in the new year. Meanwhile, vaccines continue to exist and help not only with COVID, but with many other diseases. I got a shingles vaccine not too long ago, after reading about and knowing other people who had gotten the shingles and saying it was the worst thing ever. That prompted me to get the vaccine. I'm even considering whether or not to get an influenza vaccine at some point. What I always consider is that vaccine technology is not new by any means. If it was, I might be more skeptical. But I remember getting vaccines for things like polio when I was a child.

Bottom line is... getting vaccines (or not) shouldn't be a cause for warfare between people. I doubt it was ever this bad before... which leads me to believe that we have advanced in many things... but have regressed in others.
i wish people could think that way about convid. people get ill all the time, everyday. must be convid. doesn't mean it's convid. that doesn't prove the cause is convid. but if it's after a vaccine, oh there could be many possibilities. that's what fear & programming will do. how has a convid vaccine helped me? i have been healthy all this time without the nonsense. you are free to do what you want with you life & i would hope you feel the same way towards my life. i'm not anti vaxx. i think you should have as many as you want. i just don't want any. doesn't mean i have to hate you. problem is people are being coerced into getting them to keep their jobs, businesses have had to close, lockdown because of government restrictions. black, free markets have been running this whole time but many business have not been able to survive. vaccines do have adverse effects on some people unfortunately. i don't think big pharma is wanting to kill us all off. they may be wanting to thin the herd starting with the elderly who are a strain on the system but i do think they want to make people ill enough that they need to rely on medication for the rest of their life. if i was running the scam i would infect five percent of each set of shots at a time, that way it wouldn't be so obvious as if everyone got sick at once from one shot. the rest would just be placebo's & i'd sit back & watch us turn on each other
