Feeling despondent... What can we do?
FR ^ | Dec 28 | Randfan

Posted on 12/28/2021 5:44:47 PM PST by RandFan

As someone who has been opposed to the damn vaccines since day one I'm feeling very despondent at the moment.

Our leaders we look up to are seemingly pro-Vaxx and are doubling down even in the face of mounting evidence that they do not work and are dangerous.

I don't want to come across as some crazy person but the next phase of their plan is to inject newborn babies with these experimental shots and then to mandate them.

When does the madness end?

I can't be the only one who is feeling dismayed about all this.

I'd like to know what we can do?

Continue to educate, post, share (if you can get past social media censorship) and promote the work of people like Dr. McCullough in the HOPE that we can reach the leaders within conservative circles.

We also have to offer them an off-ramp.

I can't for example see President Trump backing down.

He's essentially all-in with his recent comments and positions. Scary stuff.

However I believe he needs to come out forcefully against mandates and the injection of kids and contrast his position against the Biden administration as opposed to being praised by them!

It's not too late for him to do this and sincerely hope he will in the coming weeks.

Apart from that I'm at a loss.

Any ideas on what we can practically do are appreciated...

Stoicism is when the grandkid is listening to “baby shark” for the umpteenth time with you.

>>> Apart from that I’m at a loss. Any ideas on what we can practically do are appreciated...

I can certainly identify.

Had an appointment with my doctor today.
After asking several questions about my condition, I then
proceeded to ask him what he thought about the covid vaccines and current mandates etc.

His response was horrifying. He sounded worse than Fauci himself.

He even stated “It’s the only way we can get through this”.

I asked “Have you taken them?”

he said All 3... I have too much to live for. I don’t want to die.

He almost immediately claimed that this is not a new technology, and that mrna has been around for a long time.

He went further to say all this negative stuff and fear claims on the internet was conspiracy theorist nonsense.

The level of confidence in his voice made it clear to me that my wisest response could be “well, I was just curious”.

Now I have to find a new doctor.

In answer to your question, I don’t think there is anything we can do other than continue to warn those who still have an open mind and have not yet taken the jab.

I am convinced that what is behind all of this goes far beyond logic, science, or even common sense.

I think it’s spiritual.

I think Dr. Zelenco NAILED it when he said “This is a test”.

Paraphrasing.... “While Satan intends to use it for our destruction, God is like saying ‘Ok... lets see who you are going to trust... Me? or Man.’”

SO... what do we do? Share Jesus. He is our only hope, and I think when this test is over, this age of Grace is done.

If you have read the bible, I’m sure you know what comes next, and I for one don’t plan on being here for it.

So... Look UP! Jesus said this was coming.

If you are up for some radical approaches:

1) Put copies of one of Cardinal Vigano’s letters on windshields of cars during a Catholic mass.

2) Make flyers that are a collage of the many great memes on the virus issue and handout on a college campus or stuff into the pages of newspapers on sale at the grocery store

3) Wear a red “Make Vaccine Makers Liable Again” hat

4) Take on of the many good “word memes” or pithy points on a Twitter post and have made to a tee shirt or sweat shirt

I work in NJ in a company of about 50 employees. I had Covid and refused to get the vaccine…it makes no sense. To my point, I work with engineers, IT guys and salespeople. I used to walk with 4 guys every day and was asked to lunch numerous times through the years. Since the vaccine BS hit, my walking partners go without me and they made it clear I’m not welcome. I no longer get asked to lunch and when someone comes to my desk to ask a question they stand far away and sideways. Yup, that’s my life now. Will it end? Not until I leave or get fired.

Fauci needs to be brought up on felony murder charges, convicted and sentenced to federal prison!

Once convicted, he loses his federal pension!

You’re obviously despairing. Please don’t. A few points made in this thread worth repeating:

-Turn off the TV. If it bleeds, it leads.
-Read the Bible. This stuff has been prophecied. God knows, God cares, and nothing is outside HIS control.
-Do something physical. Plowing snow is great therapy.
-Do something good for other people. They need it. But you need it more.
-Read the Stoics.

Some other suggestions:
-Read quotes from HL Mencken. He understood politics on a level that few ever have.
-Read some history. There is little in the way of human behavior that’s new.
-Get around people who are sane. Insanity is contagious. So is sanity. I’m sensing that you’re in a very blue area? You will find a lot of sane people in the deep red areas. Build sanity with them.

You ought to hire a pretty woman to drop by under some pretense to see you as a client or old colleague from another job and give you an enthusiastic “great to see you hug” and quick friendly closed kiss on the lips.

I can see that. It used to be a joke to give a small child some sort of musical instrument or noisemaker for a birthday gift. You look good during the party but afterwards the parents aren’t so happy with you. See Fisher Price Corn Popper.

Think Little Ricky and the drums on that "I Love Lucy" episode.

The way I think this gets solved, is for the issue to get taken out of politics when it strays beyond the basic question of constitutionality. That way people who object to vaccination will still have a party to come back to on the other issues where they want representation, and there is no lack of other issues.

If these vaccines are defective products, we have a process for seeking redress for harms suffered in the courts.

In the mean time, RFK, Jr. has had no lack of strong opinions, and it is good that he and his organization have put things down in writing or video. Personally, I think those videos should be transcribed so they are searchable. The arguments and lab findings advanced can be examined to see if the claims put forth are valid, and transcribing the videos would make that easier imo because it would increase clarity, and clarity is what is needed.

You need to watch the old movie “Dr. Strangelove”.

When you get to this scene you will realize that you are one of the Purebloods who will have to repopulate the planet:

I’m glad you posted this because it demonstrates the wide variety of opinions here. While the Jews were under assault during the Holocaust, they argued with each other constantly.

I find fewer and fewer points of view I outright dismiss. I think that more of us are pulling together and will continue to do so. And many people are praising God and expressing faith. All in all, it’s good.

Do you have reading comprehension issues? Where did I say one way or another that the vaccine works or does not?

If you want it, you go ahead and get it. If you don’t, don’t. That’s what freedom of choice is about. It only affects you, so it should be up to you and you alone.

If you want to prevent people who want the vaccine from getting it, you are as bad as those who are trying to force it on others.

I stand by what I said. If you are going to stop supporting Trump because he supports YOUR right to make your own choices, then you are some kind of stupid.

“It’s all about communication, isn’t it?”

How do you expect him to effectively communicate? He has been eliminated from all of the major social media and the press will only mention Trump if they can do so in a way they think will cause him harm.

The enemy has effectively cancelled the man, and you blame him for not effectively communicating with you?
