I’m sorry if that touched a nerve. I’ve given up kindness for truthfulness.
Rallye Day Yay!
While you steal/borrow memes, I plan to purloin your comment. We have friends who just can’t discuss the truth of situations as it “wouldn’t be kind” I love your reply!
Regarding Melian’s post #8: That sentiment is a problem if it expressed unsolicited and out of context.
I doubt Melian is encouraging us to go around expressing it willy-nilly.
But how should we respond if someone asks us if we regret not getting vaxxed?
I’ve been asked this by people who know I’ve had Covid. My aunt has been asked this.
Neither of us regret it at all.
The problem is, for the most part, that those asking don’t regret taking the vax because they either haven’t had an adverse event or don’t tie health problems they are having to the vax.
The few who have had adverse events and strongly suspect the vaxx wish they could go back in time and not take it.
One day I will no longer be asked if I regret taking the vax because it will be obvious to the vaxxed that they are doubly in danger from both Covid and the vax whereas I am just in danger from Covid.
I’m not going to ask them if they regret it, not even of the ones who told me I don’t seem to have learned my lesson.
I won’t volunteer that I didn’t take it and that I am so glad.
That would be rubbing it in.
But if someone were, say, to ask me if I had my D-Dimer test, I will state simply that that is not something I need to worry about.
When the damn breaks on information on dangers of the vaxx, I suspect that many people who know I am not vaxxed will suspect I am thinking exactly what was expressed in Melian’s post. And I think that is the point Melian’s post conveys.
That post points out that there is a divide between people coming that is an even greater divide between the vaxx Karens and the unvaxxed now.
That divide will exist no matter how nice an unvaxxed person is to a vaxxed person and how carefully they stay away from stating anything close to what was in the meme posted.
The vaxxed will have regrets. They will have to worry for many years what conditions they develop and whether or not regimens to counteract the vaxx effects will really work.
(Well, I should qualify this. Not all vaxxed will have these regrets because not all the vaxxed voluntarily took the vaxx. There are those who had to take it, for instance, to keep their job and health insurance that was needed to pay for treatment of their kid’s cancer.)
TFB for the sensitive types. If you are an adult you’ve had plenty of time to noodle this out. VAST swaths of people I know would not even look at or hear the subsequent to release information provided by even the principle originators of the technology that’s been involved.
No one was “forced” to get it ultimately, they may have been economically influenced, but that’s that. They trusted known corrupt criminal corporations and the government. They weighed the balance of standard possible hardship, hardship endured by our forebears and other humans for thousands of years, against the promise that if they took something that would permanently alter them it would gain them X years of further existence.
MANY, particularly early vaxxed, took that bargain because they are uncertain or bereft of the solace of a savior and continued existence of the soul. Even WORSE, they tricked, cajoled and shamed/peer pressured minors, and the elderly, and friends/acquaintances into joining the folly, all to survive something no worse than the flu or a bad cold.
While the conditions that would have forced it are a long shot for me, I was prepared to eat bark and grubs in the wilderness before that satanic hot dog water saw my insides…
My apology.....I was unkind!
