Serious morning coffee question;
Had a date last night. Beautiful woman, many many shared values, including our faith. She disclosed that she took one jab, now seriously regrets it and refuses more. I didn’t ask which one she received. This troubles me for a couple of reasons, including the potential spike protein shedding, high viral load and the “I just wanted to travel” as her (in my opinion) worldly reasoning. Grace compels me to be understanding because we all make decisions that we regret, yet concerns remain.
I’d appreciate any thoughts and input as I wrestle with whether I should pursue this woman any further. Heretofore, my stance had been a w black and white matter of fact; stay away from the jabbed.
Would you, as unjabbed, consider dating someone who was jabbed? If you’d like, please elaborate your reasons, either way.
While this, in context, is a personal matter, reading any input might also help other singles who may be confronted with the same situation as this issue can be highly divisive.
Thanks in advance for thoughtful and reasoned replies =o)
My two cents:
Many people trusted Trump the President and got the first jab because he sang it’s praises. Trump let his own precious Ivanka get the vaxx! His endorsement carried a lot of weight with good people.
My husband got the booster recently because he is an optimist and simply cannot believe there could be such an evil plot/group of people all working together to destroy us. He still believes all doctors are good, altruistic people.
This woman has the rare open mindedness and good sense to regret getting the first shot. I’d say that speaks very highly of her. Give her lots of pine needle tea and the benefit of the doubt.
I think others here have given you good advice that I agree with when it comes to being understanding of someone who has come to realize she was wrong to take the Notavax.
This potential S.O. compares very very favorably, in my mind, to my idiot co-workers who were excited to get the booster.
I’m going to come at this from another angle:
I have no idea what kind of “catch” you are or aren’t, so please don’t take what I am about to say the wrong way.
What are your options when it comes to women, realistically?
By this I simply mean, more women than men took the jab. Many of the ones who didn’t are more, shall we say, broadly speaking, traditional and are already “taken,” that is married.
Some may have arrived at their decision alone and others were leaning toward taking the jab but their husbands reasoned them away from this.
Of the ones not married, many may already be involved with someone. Were it not for the fact that I already was not going to take the jab no matter what anyone said to me, because I am strong-willed, my S.O. would have worked on me not to take it.
A single female who is against the jab has better odds of finding an unjabbed male partner than vice versa because there are simply more men than women who didn’t get jabbed.
I have many dear friends and relatives who got jabbed. And friends of friends. For various reasons. Most early on, when the dangers were not so known. I don’t think the decision to get jabbed is necessarily indicative of an irredeemable character flaw, just bad judgement or priorities that may be, and in the case of your lady friend, regretted later.
I would perhaps see how it goes, and let her know of the Front Line Doctors post-jab protocol.
Would you, as unjabbed, consider dating someone who was jabbed? If you’d like, please elaborate your reasons, either way.

are you afraid of “shedding”?
If so, arm yourself with ivermectin and just enjoy the ride. I’d be more afraid of someone who got the booster, but still, you’ve managed to be alive THIS far...
That's not my problem right now, but the same issue is going to arise when my vaxxed grown children emerge from their COVID cocoons (daughter and SIL nearby, son and DIL in Germany). I hope they are sufficiently awakened by then to be open to mitigation. LJ mentioned Front Line Doctors. I'm a fan of the Niatonin approach.
If you want children then the jabbed are not viable marriage material.
Really, it is your decision whether you should continue getting to know more about her. It probably won’t take long to determine if she is shallow or just needs to have more information in her life. She might even reject you if she learns about your informational sources. Seems you are drawn to her and it might be too early to say one way or another.
My husband took the two but refuses any more. I forwarded solid information to him and he is much more scientifically minded than me. We both are getting over covid right now. He has continued to work in cotton harvest and improve each day. We got monoclonal antibody infusion and doctor prescribed ivermectin but we took Front Line doctors dosage which was much higher. I wouldn’t trade him in for anything.
