I am so glad that I stood my ground and did not take the shots when they were mandated at work. I was ready to retire on the spot, even though I have a few good years of tedious labor left in me. :)
In my only bout with the ‘Rona, and I only tested positive 1 out of 4 tests, my first stop was to Tractor Supply for some horse paste, and then Walmart for some applesauce (thanks to your advice, Melinda). Although it was cheap applesauce, it did its job, whatever I had was knocked down in a matter of a few days, and I was able to get 2 sick days off at work due to the lone positive test. Win-win.
We at work, as a group, got some legal advice from Robert Barnes, who advised us on how to fill out our exemption form. It helped that many in the group of jab malcontents were nuclear plant operations and power system operations personnel, kind of critical jobs that require (thanks to the government) specific credentials that not everybody has. That requirement might be the only reason that we were successful.
I remember when you were working to get around the covid mandates at work. I’m SO glad you succeeded and that your bout with covid went well.
One thing you had going for you was the ability to retire. So many of the young people just starting out didn’t have that option. They had kids, mortgages, and reasons that just didn’t allow it. I hope that someday they will be able to get their lives back if they were hurt, if they don’t end up dying young.
My youngest sister gave in to work pressure and took the vax even though she’d already had covid once and had natural immunity. She has had covid THREE times since taking the vax.
