I won't forget the ones who said/implied "other FReepers have gotten it so you should too".
Peer pressure tactics like we were still in high school.
Never forget.
I remember the Freepers who were pushing the vaxes. I know their FR names.
I also remember people who got the shots early on before they were available to the general public. They were very proud to show they had been vaccinated before everyone else. My younger brother(retired Fed) was one of those people. He sent me a picture of his card.
I also know my 26 year old son was forced to take one to get his job at a major pharma company as a scientist. He researched and got the J&J shot. He had hives the very next day. He also had some heart issues that thankfully went away.
I also know a couple professional dog show handlers that died in their sleep. You had to be vaccinated to show a dog at the Westminster Kennel Club show. So, pretty much everyone who makes a living showing dogs got vaxed. One beautiful young woman who died was 30 years old.
So, some people were victims. Some were pushing them. I remember the ones who pushed.
“Peer pressure tactics like we were still in high school.”
It was psychological warfare—24/7 propaganda from every major institution.
They all hate us.
We are on our own.
