Vanity: My parents are suddenly pressuring me to get the jab.

Posted on 09/06/2021 7:25:38 PM PDT by missamyb

My parents called me today on conference....out of the blue....begging me to get the jab. They are really scared and were trying to scare me into it. My only sibling suddenly passed away last year (not covid). It been a mind bendingly difficult year and a half. I am looking for advice on what to say to them. I was caught off guard and had company over etc. They are my going to let this go. I hate to see them worried and upset. We normally are like minded. I can't believe this conversation is even a thing! FU WU-FLU! 😭

It’s your decision and you need to tell them that.

I have the paste but have not yet taken it. I was kind of thinking of approaching it this was too...just hoping for iron clad evidence of the efficacy of ivermectin oh, so that I can prove it to them. But I probably shouldn’t hold my breath

If the people you are arguing with believe the world is overpopulated

ask them if they are disappointed that the world population grew during the “pandemic”

Politely but firmly decline and tell them you love them and appreciate their concern. And if that doesn’t work tell them that you are going to divorce them, change your name and move to an undisclosed location.

Your age?

Tell them the ROI doesn’t seem worth it.

A disease with 2% CFR isn’t necessarily balanced by rushed vaccines that we don’t know what they will do long term. Or even debilitating short term. Or that they really even work for much of the virus. Why take something that might not even do anything for these latest variants?

Also many of us have had it. We’re not all dying.

IF it actually prevented contracting the covid and its variants one might consider getting it. Mrs rktman and I are not getting it. Good luck and think long and hard.

1 (I am not a doctor so this is not official advance ce but what. Am doing) get some commonly discussed otc remedies and order ivermectin paste

2 get from them what is their main source of info eg cnn, hospital, governor, school etc

3 research and counter their source gently

4 play the delay game

5 be prepared to be flexible if all else fails.

Emphasis on #5 since so many people seem to have beans in their ears nowadays about these things sorry but true

I would caution that Ivermectin should be considered dangerous as well. People who are against the shots seem to view Ivermectin as a risk-free and extremely effective. I won’t comment on its effectiveness but I will say a family member who was being treated a couple years ago with Ivermectin (unrelated to and before Covid) had a severe neurotoxic reaction. It’s a drug with potentially dangerous side-effects and should be treated as such, not taken lightly.

That’s what I would’ve done were my parents still around and in a panic about this topic.
My mother would have believed me.
My Dad would know I was lying, but he would be quiet about for Mama’s peace of mind.

My father was pressuring my eldest son, age 44, to get the jab.

I advised my father, age 90-something that he needed to BACK OFF on putting the pressure on my eldest son.

The young man is engaged at this time to a lovely Filipina and I told my father that my SON and his BRIDE’s lives and plans rate higher.

I know he is buying into the worry. As my son has no heir as of yet, it is definitely NOT THE TIME to get the jab.

Advised my father there is a REASON the CDC, and places such as the White House ARE NOT enforcing their folks to get the jab.

The various entities are tying the deaths of what would be the flu to this Covid. The CDC is admitting they cannot produce a test for jus the Covid, and that sure as shit explains why the CDC says this year the Flu has DROPPED 95% from last year’s numbers.

Stand your ground. Especially if you have not produced any children, yet.....

It is a point they seem to have forgotten, many people have had it are fine now. I should get tested for antibodies...if I have them then it all becomes moot for now.

Thank them for their concern, express your love for them . . . and make sure you are claiming Psalm 91 and taking precautionary supplements such as zinc, D3, Quercetin, Vitamin C, a multi vitamin, etc. etc. etc. I like Chestal for sniffles/cough and swig it daily along with Silver Biotics from All Star Health. Get the gel and put it in your nose and ears. I also wash my eyes out with the silver biotics liquid. I also like Immunetti that Tim Tebow advertises (smile). Just some advice from a senior citizen.
PS Mercola.com is one of my go to’s for information.

There are several around here who have had the vaccine and are superspreaders among their elderly friends and also have gotten COVID after the jab.

IMHO . . . .this is all about control. . . not to say that lives have not been tragically ended or altered.

It’s important that you follow your own path. But it’s also important that you honor your parents, and do what you can to lessen their worrying.

Assuming you’re against all of the Covid vaccines, take a look at the link below. It’s from Harvard Medical School, so it’s not some fly-by-night website.

The article discusses some supplements that have shown to be helpful in the fight against Covid. Try taking them in reasonable amounts.

Then you can say, “Mom, dad...I’m not a fan of the vaccines, yet. But I am taking Vitamins C and D as the Harvard Medical School suggests.”

That might calm them down a bit.
Good luck!
