I never took the vaccine. So I disagreed with him.
My wife and I did get covid. From our kids who had to get vaccinated to keep their jobs. Ironic, only because we were ALL told at the time our kids couldn't get it because of the vaccination.
He had suggested privately if I ever got covid, to use monoclonal antibodies. We did, but I'll never know if they helped for sure because my case was already mild, and going away. It was a good suggestion by him.
Most of the time, we disagreed. Most of the time it was fine.
I still think, and told him multiple times toward the end of covid, that the shots caused more harm than good, particularly for young people.
I think the research now says I was right.
And I still appreciate the discussion I had with him.
I’m not a fan. He was rude and snarky with me from the get-go whenever I expressed opposition to the shot.
Once, he mentioned that someone was doxxing him and I sympathized expressed that that was completely uncalled for. He actually responded halfway nicely for once and I thought, OK, we can have a truce and just agree to disagree.
But then the very next time he posted to me, it was to point out to me that my tagline at the time, “Proud to be a pureblood,” was the phrase Hitler and the Nazis used. My tagline was *obviously* in reference to the shot, and it was on a thread about the shot. So, I shrugged and moved on. 🤷🏻♀️
No biggie.
