I'm one of those who stood up to my employer, ready and willing to walk into unemployment (with no guarantee I'd even be allowed to collect that) because I simply had to. Then when they gave me the exemption, my next thought was, "Now I'll never get promoted." That also proved untrue, as my promotion did eventually come through.
So all the "awfulizing" and "catastrophizing" was for naught because in the end, I listened to God and listened to my gut. My brother, unfortunately, listened to his idiotic liberal NPR-brainwashed wife.
My two brothers took the shots because their wives forced them. One sister took it because her employer said it was the only way out of the mask at work. The other sister took them so she could fly easier to see her kids. My daughter took it because even though her work didn’t require it, they made life difficult for those that weren’t vaxxed. The granddaughter reassured her that they were safe and convinced her that with her asthma, she needed it. My son-in-law took it because my daughter told him to.
Both brothers and one sister had already had original covid but they were still pressured into the vax.
