There are 5 little words you want to hear from them:
“You were right. I’m sorry.”
__________________________________________________

That’s truly all it would take. I don’t need them to flay themselves. Just look into my eyes and say those words. Some can even leave off the last two.

I did something I’ve never done before and will probably never do again when I learned the vaccines were coming out. I prepared an email about why I thought the jabs were dangerous. I attached Archbishop Vigano’s letter referencing the long-term plan, and a letter from Dr. Michael Yeadon, former VP of Pfizer, saying how dangerous the jabs were likely to be. I tried to persuade everyone in my contacts list not to take them. Even the staff at my two car dealerships got it. Only two people responded and both asked me if the lockdowns had affected my mental health. *sigh*

I did my best to help everyone I knew, even superficially, and damaged my reputation in doing so. I was willing to do that to try to save people. I hope that will turn out to be temporary. Only the two people who questioned my mental health need to say they’re sorry. I’d like to hear the first three words from some of the others though.

I’m just using ya’lls post in order to make a query.

I am puzzled when I read of so many lost friends and broken families over the death jab. How did this happen? What happened to friendships and civility and love of family?

I have not personally experienced this. Early on, several friends and family knew exactly why I am against the death shot. I absolutely refused when my twice stabbed boss suggested I get the vac to keep my job.

But, most just gave me the pity smile and shook their heads, continuing to do so as the hysteria increased. I never lost a friend or family member over my choice. And I was never barred from their company indoors or out.

Many have since expressed their regrets at having received the vax, one has developed blood clots and is now living in fear. I try as best I can to help them emotionally.

What happened in the rest of the world? I feel so badly for the loss many have experienced, maybe even a bit guilty.

Anyway, no need to answer, it was just on my mind for the thousands time.

Well, I’ve been mostly untouched too, and I feel fortunate for that, since I live in a blue county of our wonderful Red State. The big distinction has been opting out of work, though. When/if I go back, it will be interesting to see how I am treated by my woke cohorts! But in real life relationships, I seem to have suffered just one casualty. My high school best friend (really my only friend from those days). I actually was worried that something might have happened to her, as we used to email fairly frequently, and had lapsed. So I took the first step in August, writing to ask if she was okay, and apologizing for the long silence on my part, explaining that the weird world had gotten in the way of some of my usual previously established habits and routines. I promised to do better. I didn’t hear back. Then I sent her a birthday card. Didn’t hear back. Then I got more worried. I did a web search for her, and apparently she’s still quite busily involved in her profession. Then I found a link to her on BookFarce, where I’m not a member but can see the opening page and a few photos. Well I looked at the photos, and one was encircled by a banner that said “Love your neighbor: Wear a mask! Get Vaxxed!” And another photo was encircled by one that was a tribute to RBG, about “keeping her legacy alive” or some such, on which my friend had commented “I don’t think she would be at all happy about her successor!” So it appears that my high school buddy has gone all Woke on me. That would explain the silence, as I’ve never been shy about my views. Sigh.
