Mary Murtaugh is a recently retired nurse who says she has never been shy about promoting good health. She wasn’t shy the day she asked her favorite grocery store cashier if she’d been vaccinated.
The cashier was emphatic. No. And she wasn’t going to be. After listening to the cashier explain that she’d had a bad reaction to a flu shot, Murtaugh persisted.
“I told her that I would be worried if she contracted COVID,” Murtaugh says, and the clerk promised to think about it.
Promising to think about something is often no more than a polite deflection. But the cashier did think about it. She later reported she’d gotten two doses of the Pfizer vaccine and thanked Murtaugh for the “gentle push.”
“Sometimes,” Murtaugh says, “all you need to do is plant a seed.”
Planting seeds in people reluctant to get a vaccine can be like trying to garden in the Sahara. When I asked people on Facebook how they’ve handled vaccine resistance among their friends and family, they cataloged the pushback they’d received, a mishmash of fear and fantasy:
Needles hurt. COVID-19 is a Democratic hoax. The vaccines are a government conspiracy. They’re made of synthetic materials and we shouldn’t put synthetic materials into our bodies. The government is using vaccines to insert nanoprobes into our arms.
One woman lamented that an old high school friend wouldn’t get vaccinated because during a visit to the beauty salon she’d heard about a man in Poland who dropped dead upon receiving the shot.
It’s tempting to generalize about vaccine resisters, but they don’t all fall into neat categories. One conservative-voting man I know has gotten the vaccine, but his adult children refuse to.

The night this crap was first mentioned on FR, I watched The Stand and The Masque of The Red Death.
I *knew* it was going wind up as the WuFluCoup.
It was ALL about getting rid of Trump.
I prefer to laugh manically and say “No Fing way, man!”

My body, my choice.
My body, my choice.
Nope. YOU LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE AND RESPECT THEIR RIGHT TO CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES!
Hey. . .bring it mofo’s. . .and then deal with the avalanche of facts on the so-called “vaccine” you are gonna get from me. We’ll see who’s gonna be “thinking about” being a Guinea pig for an experimental gene therapy that has failed every test.
I highly recommend vaccination against Covid.
It does have to be up to you, since it is your body.
If I ever use it, it’ll be with a big friendly smile on the back end. Sort of like how when, if someone flips you off in traffic for no good reason, and you wave like they’re a long-lost friend, it just sort of works.
I was watching reruns of the original law and order a few days ago...
They were talking about coronavirus...
this episode was from 1995...
Report: University of Cincinnati student’s death after J&J vaccine under investigation
I have done that myself and laughed at their befuddled reactions.
:D
“Heads-O”

You probably also find boxes of ammo in your coat pocket instead of $5 bills, right?
😄
Yep!
Boy! The lies of the politicians and especially of the "medical experts" have really done a number on billions of people. A human tragedy of epic proportions, far outweighing the damage caused by the Chinese evil spirit, Covid.

It’s S-L-I-C-E

It’s Y-O-U-U-P
You better get your “vax” today
‘Cuz if you don’t here’s what I’ll say...
...I cut you!
Oh, yeah. Maybe I need to run out to get some of Granny’s horse wormer as soon as possible! ;D
If your friends get the shot, why would it matter to them if you did or didn’t get the shot? They’re “safe”.
For some strange unexplained reason, that doesn’t seem to be part of the equation. or like me they hated math. severely limiting life’s choices.
NOT a single person donated any lost income to me when I got the Hong Kong Flu vaccination & spent 10 ++ days flat on my back.
That was the late 80’s and that ‘vaccine’ was developed over a longer period.
Not taking another vaccination —especially with all the news about severe reactions & deaths.
