When I refused to be jabbed while also being evaluated for a kidney transplant, I was subjected to 7 hours worth of interviews to assess my rationality. I was well armed with data thanks to the doctors and scientists who held the line. Ultimately, the transplant team accepted me. I am writing this comment from my hospital bed having received a wonderfully working gift of life 9 days ago. There are good people wanting to serve humanity, but they have been lied to and used. When they awaken - and I assume that this will invariably happen - we must arise as the most powerful source of love and forgiveness humanity has ever experienced. I do believe justice must be served to those who orchestrated this hell, but for those who drank the kool-aid the after taste will be bitter enough.

thankyou for whomever wrote this. I had to give up my social life (which was not much to begin with) and several friends did no longer communicate but by iphone or email. Seems they thought even over the phone, the virus would spread. But I grew closer to a few people, and my dog and cats are very happy that i am now home all the time with them ! As to the insults, they are forgiven but not forgotten, and they hurt real bad because they came from my dearest family and friends. I have decided to leave them to their religion and do the opposite of what was done to us - I no longer socialize with jabbed people if I can avoid it.

Much appreciated. 32 year pharmacist. When I tell you that no one in healthcare was keen to question anything, believe it. To this day, it still is not understood. Follow the guidelines and refuse to think for yourself. That is healthcare.

One more comment. I work in the trades. At my shop there are 10 journeymen electricians including myself. 5 got vaxxed, 5 did not. Can anyone in the class tell me which individuals are constantly sick and which have been fine? We even lost a very young (23 yrs) apprentice to a brain aneurysm shortly after shot #2. Another healthy co worker has had his retina detach one day at home. He had no trauma or injury and is also young. Another co worker has multiple instances of losing his balance and falling, so much so he has left the company. All of the vaxxed are continuously rotating out sick with covid or a terrible midsummers flu. It’s nothing I’ve ever seen in my life and undeniable.

I've been a full anti-vaxxer since 2007, so this decision really wasn't hard for me.

Fortunately I was not at risk of losing my job, or family relationships. Although I could have earned a $500 "bonus" for getting the clot shot.

I did speak up. Waving signs on Main Street, and handing out books (Real Anthony Fauci) to family members.

The only real challenge I faced was standing up against my ex-wife regarding our son. I have authority - and 100% responsibility - for medical decisions, so I was on solid ground. But had to endure shaming, gaslighting and mild threats (which wasn't so different from the marriage).

I know a lot of people were in much worse situations and had far more difficult decisions. So personally I don't think I deserve too much credit myself. Our biggest heroes are those who spoke out and did the right thing even at a very high personal cost.

All that said... we probably should be prepared for things to get a lot worse.

The fight with my own son last summer regarding the CSU system mandate about did me in. All the research, arguing, and praying.... just no words. Thankfully, at the 11th hour, he changed his mind and said he would not get the jab only because he wanted to “honor his parents.” Hardest but most important fight of my life. 🙏🏻

Living in the darkest part of the deep blue state of WA, I lost my teaching job due to our governor (who continues to hold emergency powers for over 900 days), some of my vaccinated adult kids declined to be with me, and my friends can’t see the discrimination because “it was a choice” I made. So, thank you for these words and the moment they provided for being seen and heard.

Who knew saying "No" and refusing to comply with idiocy would turn out to be so important.

Your post to the unvaccinated really moved me, and I see the words in it as encouragement. My lovely wife and I have not taken the killer jab nor will we. Nor do we wear a mask. We lost three friends soon after they got the jab. Our son and daughter in-law got the jab and had it given to their two daughters. There have been many sleepless nights and tears from worrying about them. We are totally cut off from seeing them. Their choice not ours. The door is always open. We are not alone. There are great and good people that have come into our lives. Like many of you. Please remember this. I am always here for you.

This has brought tears to my eyes. I’ve survived being laid off, ridiculed, bullied, ostracized from friends and family all because I didn’t tow the line.

Of all your sub stacks, this one has hit me the hardest. Having someone put down in writing what we have endured has released some seriously built up stress, PTSD lite if you will.

Having an identical twin that has fully fallen in line and now has liver and heart issues is heartbreaking. Knowing that they are suffering from this and refuse to speak with me is equally hard. My only crime was the day he told me he was injected, after all our discussing, angered me and I said “why did you do this? It’s going to kill you!”. I apologized but in his self righteousness, I was persona nongrata. I’ve not seen my nieces or nephews since.

Living in Marxachusetts made my journey increasingly difficult but we shall overcome and prevail. I just pray that the friends and family we lost to the propaganda will return to us before the worst case happens.

It would be interesting if you would find time to do a piece on that incredible propaganda mechanism that turned what I thought were rational, educated folks into compliant foot soldiers of team vax. Network news (opinion) shows, trash gossip rags like The NY Times, unelected officials, pop culture, appeal to authority, everything was thrown out at us. Some passed the test, some failed. What’s most alarming is the number of folks who can not back track from their stance regardless of the facts.

"They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern.

You cannot change their mind. Even if you present them with authentic

information.

You cannot change the basic perception and logic of behaviour.

The process of demoralization is complete and irreverisble."

Me, my wife, all 11 of our children, and our 20 (and counting) grandchildren, are all unvaccinated. I am so thankful!

Thank you for that paen to the #purebloods. I have never had the flu ever in my 66 years, nor have I ever taken a flu shot, let alone the DEATHVAX(TM). My blue industry is punishing me. (If anyone needs editorial work--even a quick proofread of a letter--contact me. I'll make it affordable. Will give you a good rate for editing your eventually self-published manuscript. ADDENDUM: And I will become a 2nd Smartest Guy in the World paid member. Mention this substack! TY!)

Honestly, i deserve no accolades. Were it not for a growing, living faith in Christ, and answered prayer for discernment, wisdom, and an understanding the times in which we live in light of the Word of God, I would still be as blind and deaf as when I fell for every other lie foisted upon us in the past... and there were so many. By the skin of my teeth I fully woke up to the lies around 2015. I have compassion on the lost who cannot see and have rejected God's entreaties over their lifetime. And i mean those who remain in the fake institution called "church" too.

I am an anti-vaxxer and anti-big pharma drugs. It never entered my mind to get any injections. I never get a flu shot. I am retired, so there weren't some of the major considerations others had to face. I am not afraid of dying from viruses because I do not ascribe to germ theory.

I will pass on when the time arrives. Do I believe medical science and big pharma drugs, vaccines and mRNA gene therapy injections will help me live longer and healthier? Hardly. There is no proof that they do. I am not a hero or anything like that. I just am, life just is and all the boxes and compartments society likes to stuff you in and all the labels they want to plaster upon you are nothing of substance.

I am more of an anarchist willing to live my way and allow you to live yours. The only difference is that some of you will want to force your will upon me, and that I will not abide.
