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.

Or just mind your own business.
Since we all have been through 3 quarters of the scamdemic without vaccine, the first order of business should have been get an antibody test, If you are positive you don’t need the vax.
“My body, my choice” would have been my response to this nanny-state busy body (who is probably all about “abortion rights.”)
Are we allowed to ask a female if shes had an abortion ???
If she says shes on her way to kill her baby may we now tell her not to ??? If she resists we can now persist, but gently that she let her baby live...
The answer to the question about the vax should be the same ...a horrified look and a mind your own business...thats personal...thats my private health care...
etc
If the person wants to just say No theres no need for an explanation ...Just No...
That was the biggest load of nonsense I’ve read in a while.
Before the mask mandates got going, and were just recommended early last year, I was in my local grocer and an older masked man near me muttered under his breath at me “you’re going to kill people.” I shrugged it off but later got really angry at his comment. What gall.
A good friend of mine who lives alone got his second shingles vaccine a few months ago. The day after the vaccine, he could bare stand up steadily and was just off. I took him to the emergency room thinking it was a mild stroke. The ER doctors couldn’t determine a cause so everyone concluded that the vaccine just overwhelmed his system for a day.
I told him the COVID vaccine would probably be worse and that he should think twice before getting it.
Does the machete have a name?
I do not trust any damned thing federal gub mint.
Im a Mom and a Nana and Ive never asked anyone...family or others....
I have several family members in the health care professions and they aren’t getting the vaccine. That says something more than this nagging Nellie knows.
My standard boiler plate line to any store mask nazis: “Already had it. Can’t get it, can’t give it.”
If someone tries this with me ,I would be done with them. Till they die from the serum anyway.
Stop calling it a Vaccine!! It is an experimental drug ( serum) that has not been approved by the FDA. STOP IT!!
Every piece of propaganda i read has the word Vaccine in every paragraph about 3 to 4 times. IT IS A SERUM!!!!!
They can go persistently , gently ‘pleasure themselves’ with a chainsaw.
Just bless their heart, gently.
This is a logical, valid assumption in the U.S.
However, in socialist countries, healthcare is provided "free" to citizens by the state, at taxpayer's expense. The justification is that the unvaccinated will pose a severe cost burden on the public coffers in order to care for the sick. So, to keep health spending under control, everyone must be vaccinated.
Do you see how important it is for an open, free and competitive health care system? If it becomes a government service, they get to tell you what you can and can't do....from sugar-drinks, to motorcycle helmets, to bungee jumping.....all restricted as dangerous in the name of reducing govt-owned healthcare costs.
Why isn’t Mary Murtaugh pushing government to remove their illegal indemnification of the manufacturers of this experimental drug. You know, “for the children”.
So where are those volunteers any why are they not telling the ones getting stabbed the dangers? Why the secrecy and deceit?
