I am bumping this post to the top of the page and updating because, well, I’ll explain.
First, thank you. Sincere and genuine thankfulness for your fellowship. Visitors to this site continue to prove that our nation is created by, and an assembly of, the most decent, honest, generous and kind-hearted people in the world. The responses to the question of ‘why didn’t you take the covid-19 shot?’ are nothing short of remarkable.
In the bigger picture if you want to fill up your faith cup and recognize the scale of commonsense assembly in our nation, take the time to read through the 2,000+ responses.
The feedback you are providing is exceptional and trust me when I say that far more people are reading these responses than you could fathom. Additionally, the responses have reasserted my belief in the scale of our national assembly. There are far more of us, ordinary, hardworking, commonsense, pragmatic and smart people, than the self-described intellectual elites would ever admit.
In addition to the responses below, there have been hundreds of emails answering the question, which suddenly made me realize that no one has really ever asked this question before in a format that provides ordinary people with the ability to respond.
There is also a yearning to talk about this issue, publicly and with deliberation; massively so. And I am hopeful (insert grin here) this small corner of the internet is about to push this conversation into a much larger national forum. Our nation needs a big conversation about this.
If I had to pick a single phrase to encapsulate the myriad of phenomenal responses to the question I would use the phrase, “intellectual discernment”; which again provides buckets of faith that a large number of people are wide awake, albeit part of what I call a potato revolution growing safely underground.
Also, unbeknownst to front page readers I am stunned at the people in/around operation warp-speed, these are people in government directly attached to the issue, who have contacted CTH on the backside, stepped forward and said they also didn’t take the shot because, well, despite their belief in the purpose and principle at the time, things were just not adding up and ultimately seemed sketchy. They couldn’t talk (so they felt), couldn’t even hint at their concern; but when it came to making the personal decision, they waited.
I also owe it to you to answer the question of my own status, which is a big heck no – I did not take the jab.
Why? Because in the preceding years of all my research into the rapidly exposed corruption of our government, there was just no way in hell I was going to trust that same system. A system that literally was working outside the constitution and legal framework of our nation to destroy a sitting U.S. President is going to suddenly care about my health. Nope, it did not align. I also looked at the datapoint of the U.S.S. Comfort delivered to New York City under the grandest of media proclamations about impending medical doom, only to see the ship sit empty and completely unused despite the scale of the narrative that surround its purpose.
Lastly, and more obliquely, the datapoint of one of my heroes Franklin Graham assembling a NY field hospital to serve over 20,000 patients; another massive endeavor that sat empty and without use. However, prior to the hindsight, it was the in-real-time fight from officials in/around the area who tried to block Samaritans Purse from setting up the facility. If the SARS-CoV-2 issue was as great a threat as declared, then why would anyone fight to keep out a field hospital that could provide such relief. It just didn’t make sense.
Those issues, and others, formed the baseline of my inability to reconcile the key issue of ‘trust’ needed to believe in the vaccine. Additionally, I am healthy and not within any of the risk factors. However, I also feel strongly that each health decision is unique to the individual person, and everyone was making the best decisions for them based on the available information at the time; so, I carry no judgement for those who made a different choice.
As noted, I am bumping this to the top of the site so that our conversation can continue. Normally I would start a new thread, but this one is different. I don’t want to break the continuity and I want to provide everyone the ability to see they are not alone.
Love to all,
Sundance
Reader feedback request.
I was quite shocked to review a poll I took on the Twitter last month showing that 85% of the people who follow the CTH Twitter account [TLR2] did not take the COVID-19 jab.
Without any judgement implied or inferred I am genuinely curious, why not?
With the situation clearly in hindsight, and/or given all the pressure that may have been applied to each individual situation, I am genuinely curious what was it that made you choose not to take the COVID-19 vaccination.
If you are comfortable, and please understand that no pressure is intended in any way whatsoever, could you share why you didn’t take the vaccine and how do you feel about that decision in hindsight?
If you did take the vaccination, there is also no judgement in this question. As I said back in 2021 each individual is unique, each situation is unique, and each person has to make the best decision about what is in their individual best interests. So please, don’t let this issue divide our conversation.
I am genuinely curious as to the reason so many people would withstand the public and perhaps peer pressure to follow the ‘vaccination’ advice. Also, how has that decision impacted your life? Did you lose friends and family over your personal health decision? Did those relationships heal over time? Or anything else you might find pertinent to the general question.

My husband and I had Covid in summer of 2020. We felt we had natural immunity and did not need the shot. Watching the way the experts acted, we were very suspicious of their actions and why they were pushing it so much. The health department acted so crazy when we tested positive in 2020, calling and asking questions, etc that we knew something was up. We are retired so no one tried to make us take the vax. Several people we knew that had the vax got Covid again.
I was warned about vaccine genocide in 1986 when Reagan let big pharma off the hook for any injuries from vaccines. I was shocked when Trump authorized it. I don’t go to doctors and I have been put in a wheelchair for a week from a vaccine when I was 12. My best friends brother got polio from the polio vaccine. They are a murderous lot of snakeoil sales shills.
The polio vaccine that gave your best friend’s brother polio was the Sabin oral vaccine, which is no longer in use in the U.S.
JoAnn: How do you know that about her brother’s polio vaccine?
By the way, you may be interested to listen to patriot and world vaccine expert (for several decades), Dr Sherry Tenpenney.
She has at least one TED talk, numerous informative videos, and lots of well-researched articles.
Dr Tenpenney is a delight to learn from … including lots of data on polio and what REALLY was the cause of its decline in the US.
I didn’t take the “vaccine” because it was first of all, never a vaccine. It was experimental, and unproven. I have never taken a flu shot and never got the flu. I never took a covid shot and have never had covid. Neither my wife nor college age daughter took any covid shots either. We are thankful that our daughter, attending a private university run by a man that puts God, Family and Country first above anything else and did not require the vax to attend college class in person was running her university. I have many friends, some conservative that got vaxxed and we have had many spirited debates.
I was called foolish, selfish, stupid and a lot of other names for not thinking more highly of my fellow man to get vaxxed and protect them from my sorry self from infecting all of them. Will they ever acknowledge my opinion and resolve and apologize for being so resolute in disparaging me for my stance? Probably never. But, I am clean and live in no fear of what these shots have inflicted into their veins. I pray they are not injured or worse. At least I don’t have to worry about that for myself and my family.
Number 1 reason to refyse the shots.
No jab here. I was real suspicous when the off label meds were censored/ridiculed. The different alt media and podcasts I was following reinforced my resistance.
No problems with family and friends though all got the jab and tried to convince me to…. Retired so no issues with an employer.
With alt media I still follow I’m very satisfied with my decision.
Yeah – that was ‘psychotic’ when they banned ALL off-label use of other meds. Fauci and crew were responsible, I am convinced … no EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) would have been possible otherwise for ‘passing’ the vexxine onto an unsuspecting public.
No vaccination for me.
On Friday March 13, 2020- Cardinal O’Malley closed all the Boston diocesan Churches, after morning Mass. As a long time daily communicant, I was stunned by this proclamation.
Why on earth were they taking CHRIST, the EUCHARIST and the CHURCH away, when we needed our faith and Church, the most in our lifetime. It made absolutely no sense. It was in my opinion nefarious.
The Catholic Church, allowed our Government to dictate, our religion, over us. I was disgusted.
NO ONE WAS KEEPING ME FROM CHRIST. I was prepared to sit in VIGIL outside the Church. And I did. Hand to GOD. I turned the knob and the side door was open to my surprise. And I went right in.
Everyday, I drove to Church. I showed up at 8:00 am. Prayed the rosary, sat quietly in the dark and cold, alone, before the tabernacle, for about 2 hours. Reading, praying and reflecting. I was the only one for weeks, and then another woman showed up. And she began to recite the rosary with me. Soon there were 5 of us. How amazing is that, it takes 5 to recite each decade. Monday through Sunday, we did just that.
Father Jack, watched over the Church property by cameras, from the rectory next door. Every so often, I would find him in the back of the Church, sitting alone reading. We had remarkable conversations. I had awesome confessions. He was very lonely without his Church family. It was a sad time for Priests, during lockdown.
During all of this Pa was afraid I was going to get arrested, driving during lockdown. Or by the Church for holding vigil daily. But nothing ever happened to me. The town of Plympton was a ghost town. I never saw a cop, once.
But the decision for why I refused the jab, was made by faith. Faith in Jesus and Mary.
The fruits from sitting quietly alone before the Tabernacle came into my heart, from Christ, to know that none of what was going on around the world, was willed by GOD and that it was man made. I also heard from Blessed Mother in my heart, to not to take the man made poison.
I had a dream January 15, 2019, that the gates of hell had opened and that the demon of Fear was roaming the earth. Jesus and Mary told me to have COURAGE. That the war was won, but the battle must be fought. That they loved all of us very very much and would never leave us. But I would be fighting the battle up to my last breath in this life.
When Covid broke and the doors of the Church closed, I understood that dream completely. All of us have been living its revelations ever since.
I will follow up on what happened next in another post, regarding my non vax position.
re: “Why on earth were they taking CHRIST, the EUCHARIST and the CHURCH away, when we needed our faith and Church, the most in our lifetime.”
I laid down one night with Covid-19 and my mild case of pneumonia and my lungs feeling heavy – and was beset upon by demons (as experienced by wild thoughts!). It was ONLY by repeated saying of the Hail Marys that they were finally driven away. Praise be to God!
Amen
I was also astounded at the church reaction and shut downs too. On Easter I went to our closed church because I knew they were streaming mass, and I asked if I could receive communion and the priest says no, no one gets communion.
Then I proceeded to “celebrate mass” with 3 other souls in the pews.
And watched all my priests share communion at the alter. I cried through the whole thing. For the whole shut down they streamed mass and told us by watching the priests share a feast, we could be full. It was a hurtful lie . They didnt open up til the day after mother’s day. I was so angry, and hurt.
Later I alerted our right to life group of the immortal vaccines that were being considered in warp speed and the us bishops councils petition to stop them. I was ignored.
For the next year of pandemic, our priests (from Philippines and India) and our bishop we’re over the moon covidians, we were hounded to wear masks (we never wore them even once), opening announcements always reminded us the goodness of the vax and implored us to get the vax, and even had a vax bus in our church lot and invited them to all (much later) events. Also for a full year we had a opening “covid prayer”.
We had roped off pews, stickers on the floor and lectures about distancing and disinfecting our pews. They took away our holy water and replaced the vassels with hand sanitizer bottles. Told us not to receive communion on the tounge. Our priests bragged in the church, in the bulletins, online and in emails that they were proudly vaxxed and we should too. We were told there was no option but getting an $8000 air air purifying system to clean the church air and still nothing changed.
My newly initiatied first communion son (may’20) was denied the precious blood until this Christmas.
On the first week of lent one year after the shut downs we visited a neighbor parish on a pilgrimage. My family (at the time 6 kids under 10) were confronted and after an interrogation were rudely escorted from the premises for not masking. We were kicked out of church.
I sent a Christmas card and an letter to that priest explaining what happened and he sent Catholic Social Services to me to check on my emotional and mental health.
During the vax mandates when my family was in termoil over our our “choices” and decided to fill our a religious exemption instead of quit, our church offered no understanding or support for those seeking a supplemental recommendation for the religious exemption.
This feast of the Immaculate Conception dec 8th ’22, after about two months of being allowed to shake hands again in sign of peace, all our priests got covid at the same time. So for mass, even though our priests weren’t in attendance, we all were hounded at the entrance to wear masks and reminded no shaking hands.
The whole church is full of faceless scared people who obsessively hand sanitise, disrespect the precious body of Christ and dart out right after communion.
After 13 years with this parish. I moved my family to another one.
It has been tragic and terrorizing.
Friend, thank you for sharing. We have all had the same horrible experience (being unvaccinated).
I couldn’t have written it better. Awful, awful, awful.
Once you see satan in the details, you can never unsee him.
Never give in and never give up your pew.
Prayers and love to you and yours.
We dont follow priests, we follow the faith. By the Grace of God we persevere.

I have no words.
You should try to find one that has the Latin Mass. Most Novus Ordo hand sanitizing parishes are anathema(but who am I to judge?) Communion should be received on the tongue, while kneeling, in a state of grace, from the consecrated hands of a priest, not with our grubby fingers, sanitized or not. Have you read about Father James Altman, cancelled priest from LaCrosse? Blessed shall you be when men hate you, separate you, chastise you…Luke 6:22
Very cool! My church closed and didn’t reopen until Sep 2021! I stopped going. There’s only so much you can get out of Zoom church. Looking for a more faithful church now that isn’t so scared.
I had a gut feeling of actual evil from the beginning. Holy Spirit intervention? Very possible. Will never take another shot of anything unless on my deathbed, and that would be morphine if needed. Trust is gone.
I did too. My 74 year old husband nor I (64) never even considered getting the jab.
While on vacation in March of 2020 the ‘plandemic’ began. We,at first were concerned about the seriousness of the bio-weapon from chyna. once back in the Mainland, (Hawaii went total nazi), I began to seriously research exactly what was going on. Many sources are available if one takes the time to dig! Dr. Lee Merritt. Dr. Sherry Tenpenny. Dr .Carrie Medea. Dr. Eric Nepute. and others. My ‘spidy sense’ kicked in and words of wisdom from my Elders,” always trust your gut” prevailed.
If Your trust is in God the Father and Jesus Christ Our Savior, why trust in man and an experimental injection to combat an illness with a 98% rate of survival! No jab for the wife and I. Many in our Family. including those in the Military have taken it. We pray for all of them, and others daily. Be Blessed Treepers!
I believe the jab is the actual bio-weapon designed to enslave or kill and injure as many folks as possible. we are seeing it play out daily, sadly.
read reviews on this shot people were still getting covid after this shot even dying from its adverse affects soooooooooo i said hell no!!!
Being 64, diabetic, and overweight, I felt I was at high risk from Covid, but I also didn’t like the idea of putting MRNA in my body, despite the promises of Gill Bates that it would not transcribe into DNA, I knew of the existence of reverse-transcriptese, so I knew that was utter bullshit. I watched VAERS, and seeing all the people with blood clots and neurological disorders after the shot, I felt it wasn’t worth the risk. Last March I got covid, for me it was a moderate cold. Now I know the disease was grossly oversold, and the vaccine is a death shot. In this war the elites don’t have to march you into a gas chamber, they bring the death toxins to you in a fake vax.
My trust of childhood vaccines went from slight to absolutely never again after my daughter was born in 2018… after her first hep b shot, which we delayed for almost a year, she developed really bad eczema and allergies….my wife and I were very suspicious, and soon after discovered the VAERS website where it soon became clear to us, after reading of hundreds of cases of deaths post vaccination that the childhood vaccine system was, at least in our minds, a chemical weapons delivery system with various end results that could be turned off or on like a faucet, and none of which were good. That experience, coupled with the almost maniacal push, by the most untrustworthy people on the planet, to force everybody to get the experimental covid shot had red flags going up like fireworks. I actually quit my job, a job that I loved, when they required it and moved my family to another state. In addition to all of that, my entire family had horrible cases of covid in March 2020 and symptoms that lasted for many months. I never got tested (because I didn’t trust the tests either) but had my doctor check for antibodies when I went for a physical. The fact that we all had antibodies over a year later, and that still wasn’t good enough, also hardened my resolve to NEVER subject myself to the medical racket again, if I can help it.
Have chronic illness and long ago found out Western medicine had no solutions not only for me but for most illnesses that don’t require surgery. Look into it you will be surprised. Because of this I have long lived in alternative medicine both functional integrative medicine, naturopathic medicine and alternative medicine. This journey taught me how corrupt our current health practices are both morally and ethically.
I have long followed 4 or 5 of the doctors on the Biden list of biggest disinformation “culprits”. They all sounded the alarm early and so it was a NO brainer not to touch an experimental vaccine. I knew how worthless PCR tests were and most of the other metrics.
I have to say that this COVID farce has turned me away from allopathic medicine. I am looking to alternative medicine now. The corruption in western medicine is astounding.
My wife and I are not vaccinated. Neither are any of our children, their spouses, or their children. We all live very near each other and got together often for family dinners during the lockdown here in Florida.
I left the house often during the lockdown and as soon as my gym reopened I was there and maskless. In fact, we all avoided frequenting places that required masking to the greatest extent possible.
We all have a healthy skepticism about the modern administrative state and even less trust in the pharmaceutical industry and a hastily produced vaccine.
We all follow websites like CTH daily and found enough reinforcement from Steve Bannon and his guests (especially Dr. Robert Malone) to become confident in our decisions which we all came to individually. I should add that our skepticism about vaccines are long standing, my grandchildren are on limited vax protocols.
Everyone in our extended families were either critical of our decision or silent about it. We were uninvited to a 70th birthday party because we weren’t vaxxed.
Still, we had each other (16 in all) to live our best lives with. And we did.
Then, within weeks of each other we all came down with the virus. The criticism from my vaxxed sister was relentless especially after I wound up with Long Covid.
My son was proactive and with America’s Frontline Doctors had us on Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin according to what we asked for. I also got an infusion monoclonal antibodies but the Long Covid knocked me out for months. We’re all better now and as brazen as ever about our activities.
Thankfully, my vaxxed sister is so far healthy but her husband, who had been an incredible physical specimen and workout warrior, wound up hospitalized with arrhythmias and will be on medication the rest of his life.
Thanks to the work of Edward Dowd and Naomi Wolf we are more confident than ever that we made the right decision
I wound up in the hospital in 2003 with a case of GBS after taking a routine flu shot. It was a horrifying, painful week-long ordeal that I managed to escape with only a mild case of GBS. The doctors said I should never take another flu shot again, since I was at an elevated risk of contracting the disease.
My entire Maryland workplace got the clot shot by 3Q20–except for me. I told them about my 2003 experience and said “never again.” I’d rather get sick from the Wuhan and risk that 0.3% chance of it being fatal than go through that GBS hell every again. My employer never pushed the shots on employees so I never heard about it again at my workplace.
I eventually wound up getting the Wuhan in 1Q22, and it was a night of fever followed by three days of fatigue. It was no worse than any other bad flu I have had in my 53 years on this planet. I chalk up taking 5000 units of Vit D every day for the last 10 years, along with 1000mg of Vit C, for making it a mild experience for me.
Those who wrote and endorsed the US government vaxx mandates should be arrested on charges of “crimes against humanity,” and tried with the penalties of “not guilty” or death as the court’s only options.
I know the watchers are waiting. I am not going to disclose whether or not I took the “vaccine”.
My overarching guiding principle in life is whenever the people who have repeatedly told me how much they hate my God, they hate my Savior, and they hate me and everything I hold dear start ballyhooing ANYTHING, all my alarm bells go off. Every last one of them. Then there were the flash points so to speak:
Shutting down any and everyone who dared say “hold on”.
Heretofore respected doctors were routinely insulted by “journalist” and people whose only qualification to speak on these matters was their ability to shout. Heretofore proven safe drugs – HCQ and Ivermectin – were branded poison and “horse dewormer”;
The absolute refusal to recognize natural immunity or to recommend healthy lifestyles – vitamins/supplements, eating healthy, exercise – were all discarded as “conspiracies”;
Ordering pregnant and nursing mothers were to get “vaccine” and give it to their children;
Demanding that people were made to choose between their livelihoods and their health;
None of that seemed natural, normal or healthy to me. As the saying goes if you have to apply this kind of pressure to get people to do something that is so unbelievably good for them then something is stinking in Bangkok.
And yes, I lost my mother-in-law because the “vaccine” and my sister who recovered from one form of cancer has been diagnosed with another.
Why no VAXX ?
” Keep population under 500 Million ” — The first of the unholy 10 commands on The Georgia Guidestones
I think lightning struck those stones, too. Make of that what one will!
My husband and I did not get vaccinated. I believe God led us to not take it.
This so called vaccine was not put through the same rigorous testing and trials
other vaccines had been in the past.
My sister had her 1st shot the first of October 2021 before it came time for her second shot (which a person had to wait 3 weeks to get the 2nd) she passed away. Her husband (my brother-in-law) had shot given same day as her and his health has just gone down hill so bad.
Most of my family did not fall for the propaganda that was being thrown at American citizens, but alas some decided to take the shot as they got scared by what the news people were saying or they wanted to travel and couldn’t without being vaccinated.
I even talked my husband a few years before covid came about to stop taking the flu shots. They don’t work either!
I am not a believer in vaccines, and I have heard and read a great deal of information from medical professionals who have said do not take it! Even the fellow who invented the mRNA vaccine said not to take it. Too many people have died, have had terrible reactions from it, or gotten disabling events from it. And they recommended older folks with health problems should get it too, but that is crazy! Also I heard that many may not have any problems for a year or longer, we have only just begun to see the problems!
almost immediately good Doctors, immunologists, virologists, scientists of all stripes associated with vaccines, viruses etc were raising serious concerns. That was the attention getter.
personal research on the net is the main reason I chose to not get the shot… I m also retired so i didn’t have work pressure of possibly losing my job.. that is huge as well…
but the volume of information that is now available to us … on a phone!!… is a game changer if your willing to take the time to read it.
lost friends … avoided toxic relationships … the invaxxed were… and still are … treated as pariahs…
but no regrets .. lots of data .. if your willing to research… that are at the very least indicating the vaccines may be causing serious harm … my conclusions is there is no doubt … certainly a lot of folks escaped adverse events … but a lot are experiencing ramifications that are life changing …
I was and remain 100% certain that I had Covid in late November/early December 2019. I have had an antibody test that confirms I had it.
Once Covid became a “known” thing in 2021, I realized that was what I had had. It was honestly the sickest I’ve ever been, with symptoms I have never had. It was truly different than any flu.
Knowing that I had already had the virus, I understood that I already had the greatest immunity possible, from my God-given immune system. That is basic biology. I am an herbalist and natural healer, and I am well educated in what the human body does.
I also knew that there was NO WAY that a vaccine could be developed and properly tested in under a year. It is not possible. The side effects profile was therefore completely unknown. So I told everyone I knew not to take it under almost any circumstances.
I understood from the statistics available that only the elderly and people who were already ill were at any sort of risk from the disease, and that ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D, zinc, quercetin, and vitamin C were perfectly viable treatments for the illness. So that is what I told people to take. I knew about the above protocol in MARCH 2020, and was writing about it online.
I have spent my entire adult life working in laboratories surrounded by flawed human beings just like me. I know with absolute certainty that nothing truly good comes out of a lab when it is rushed.
By the time the jabs came to market, there was enough data available to the public from around the world to know that the mortality rate for someone my age who contracted the WuFlu was comfortably less than 0.5%.
Based on those two data points, the scientifically rational thing to do was to wait until the data from a few hundred million volunteer human guinea pigs rolled in to see if there was actually any benefit to getting it.
Two years later, I stand comfortably by my decision.
I never do what people tell me, and the harder they pushed this crap down my throat the more I stood my ground against it.
I never just roll over to people, especially idiots.
I’m a registered nurse. I have refused hepatitis vaccines and flu shots(for which I received disciplinary actions). There was never any chance that I would take the covid vaccine, as I’m healthy and have an above average immune system. I did not seek any exemptions. I was terminated from the Cleveland Clinic for refusing the covid vaccine. I worked in the open heart operating room and loved it.
I did not take it and neither did my husband. Why? God told us not to. It’s really that simple.
Attention please
Here is the official narrative, the script, the exact playbook on how to handle vaccine hesitancy, mistrust or counter arguments.
Nobody must step outside of these guidelines, all system puppets must follow the script. Understood?
Every public statement by a journalist/politician/medical professional, is scripted by the WHO.
What to say if people refuse, what to say if a baby dies from the vaccine… it’s all in there.
Official Globalist Cabal Vaccine Narrative Script:
https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/352029/WHO-EURO-2022-3471-43230-60590-eng.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
I did not take the jab and never considered it. It was clear from the beginning that it was not a “vaccine” but instead an experiment that had barely had any human trials. My immune system is strong and I received guidance that I did not need the shot. Almost everyone I know has had covid but I have NOT. I do not advertise my jab status (it is no one else’s business) but will discuss it if asked. A couple of friends who are nurses argued with me about it early on..they have had the shots and Covid.
I didn’t believe enough testing had been done to know that the shot was safe. I thought the shots were much more dangerous than the virus.
My brother was vaxxed and boosted. Had a massive stroke. A year later he cannot walk or talk. He was in great shape. He never had high blood pressure nor high cholesterol. He has never been over weight. I hope the people that pushed this abomination meet the devil.
BTW, my brother is 58.
I am a single female with adult sons and I manage a small business. I initially decided to wait until the vax was fully approved because I knew that if I was injured by it I’d get no help because it was still under EUA. I am on my own and couldn’t take the risk. Even though I asked them to wait, my sons both got vaxxed fairly early because they wanted to be able to go places that required it. Thankfully, they both seem okay. My sons and I disagree on a lot, but we’ve always been respectful of each other. They are proud of me for standing up for what I think is right. There is never and malice even when we disagree.
I live in a deep blue area and interact with lots of people all day, every day. Everyone talked about the vax nonstop. I was able to withstand the pressure to get vaccinated by initially telling everyone who asked that I just hadn’t gotten around to it yet, and then eventually I would just change the subject if anyone wanted to talk about it. I am fortunate that it was not required of me by my job, but honestly, I would have changed jobs.
MSM, CDC, etc. was so politicized re. Covid cures. So much straight up outrageous BS being pushed, like “Trump says to drink bleach”, “Ivermectin is Horse medicine” , etc etc etc.
Also saw the early figures out of African countries where a lot of people were on HCQ to prevent malaria and Covid figures were- coincidentally – extraordinarily low in those places.
Listened to the Docs who were speaking out about Iver and HCQ as a preventative. So, a possible Covid medicine being effectively banned in the U.S.? While we’re supposedly heading into the biggest pandemic of our lifetime? None of this made sense.
It all made me suspicious enough to check the VAERS site. Saw heart problems listed as a possible side effect and said “No. Thanks.”
I have friends in the medical community, most retired now, and they all expressed a wariness of a new “vaccine” that had very limited testing. This confirmed my reticence in jumping in line for what amounted to an unproven medical experiment.
It did strain some friendships. I was blindsided by the amount of people that wholeheartedly gave away their autonomy for this experiment. The harder the social media push and condemnation against the un”vaccinated”, the more convinced I was that I was making the correct choice.
My elderly aunt and uncle got the “vaccines” on the advice of their physician. My uncle had beaten back cancer which returned with a vengeance. We lost him a number of months ago.
My closest friend had dealt with Guillain-Barre Syndrome prior to the plandemic. She spent some time with me when she was recovering and still in a wheelchair.
That the “vaccine” was triggering this side effect, that people that had had it were still being advised to get the “vaccine” was completely contrary to sound medical care. It became clear this was not about health. There were larger machinations in place and everything in me rebelled against them.
My husband travels internationally for business. Thankfully he owns his own business however they were close to mandating vaccines for travel. We had a number of heart to hearts. We both knew we did NOT want the clot shot.
We’re thankful the mandates eased but are very cognizant to the danger that there will be another plandemic which could affect his business travel and thus our finances.
One final thought, I want to thank this community on CTH.
Loads of you shared resources for information about treatments and protocols. Some shared resources for sourcing things. It made a huge difference for me and those I love. My husband ended up getting the virus while traveling abroad. He travels with HCQ and Ivermectin, takes and travels with the recommended vitamins. He was able to knock his fever back in under 10 hours and felt almost normal within two days.
Blessings and thanks again.
Agree, thankful for this community. I learn so much and you keep me entertained!
I have never taken one of their flu shots and I have not had the flu for about 30 years. Every summer, they must guess what strain of flu to expect in the winter so that they have time to produce and distribute the shots.
I had a lot of science classes in high school and college, have an engineering degree and worked in a health care field for 42 years. When they started talking about developing a vaccine in 9 months, I thought, Oh, hell no. It takes 5 to 10 years to properly test a vaccine. Then they changed the definition of what a vaccine is.
When they started talking about MRNA vaccines, I looked up some studies on earlier attempts to make an MRNA delivered treatment. What I found was that all of the test animals died either from their initial infection or later from another infection.
Having worked in health care, I am extremely careful about who I will allow to care for my health.
Fortunately, I am retired so they couldn’t threaten my income to force compliance.
Personally read through the data from Israel and the opposing doctors who early on warned of the clot shots potentially damaging a person’s natural immunity. This was enough for me to fear the clot shots more than covid. Once I read about the successful use of Ivermectin and the immunity vitamin packs in whole populations in India, I knew covid itself was nothing to fear once I had both Ivermectin and the immunity vitamins myself.
Mass hysteria is easy to discern. And, many of us remember thalidomide. Then there was that Geert Vanden Bosche article.
I work for State Government and my co-workers are very liberal. I found out that the liberal workers would never read, listen or believe anything from conservative media. So all they get is propaganda from the MSM. People that I have known most of my life, would argue the Clot Shot was “safe and effective”. Me, I saw it was an experimental and no way. I watched a video by Melon, McColloch and others that said the mRNA was not safe. They said that they had taken the first shot and regretted it. They also regretted that they talked their families into the jab. That was enough for me. Sundance will not allow me to comment, but my family are all Pure Bloods.
You’re not on our banned list….?
Wow Sundance, got an hour?
Seriously, there were many reasons. I don’t think I trusted the “story” from the beginning. And I certainly didn’t trust the people telling the tale. I’ve seen other serious outbreaks in the past, and we were much calmer and more reasonable.
Second, I absolutely don’t trust anyone wanting to meddle with genetic therapy, especially a therapy with so little testing/proof. Here again, what was being “sold” didn’t pass the sniff test. I’m also a Christian, and even more suspicious of genetic alteration. And no, I’m not a fundamentalist.
Third, I have high resistance to flu and haven’t had or needed a vaccine in years. I wasn’t willing to mess with what was working. What if I made things worse? (This certainly proved out, didn’t it?) My physician agreed.
Fourth, the whole flu theater became absurd. Masking in your car, standing 6′ apart, locking yourself away in your house, wearing gloves in the grocery store, the whole “communist” feel to the story and its language all stunk. Wasn’t having it. Early on, it felt like mass hysteria.
Were there consequences? Yes, and they continue. We’ve fractured a part of the family. Starting with a shouting match outside our back door over Christmas of 21, my SIL and step-daughter will not allow me to hold our new grandchild, and they’ve forced my wife to be immunized and boosted so that she can … I am a potential “disease” vector to their son. I must test before every visit. My research and citing of fact was labeled “bullshit-science” back then and cannot be reconsidered now. In this segment of the family, I’m a bit of an “unperson.”
Would I change? Not a bit.
Simple: Nobody tells me what to do. Nobody.
^^^ There it is. When you get down to it. Used to be that most Americans thought that way.
My husband is a pharmacist, my daughter and sister are nurses. I am a Special Education teacher. Something about the shot felt wrong to all of us and spouses for different reasons. One major one was that by definition, it was not a vaccine. A second reason was the lack of studies done. A third was the sudden collaboration of government and big pharma. Mandates on an untested shot and protecting big pharma from lawsuits were unsettling to say the least.
Finally, we all prayed. We came to the conclusion that we would not put something in our bodies that had no proof it might work and, at worst, could have severe side effects. We all felt blessed by our decision.
We remained pretty quiet about our mutual decisions. It became uncomfortable for my husband because he administered them and was often asked which one he took. He made the choice to be honest.
My daughter was blessed to get a religious exemption at her hospital. My sister retired. I kept my business open within 8 weeks of the first school closing. I never wore a mask or required them.
I found you during the pandemic. I read you every day.
My granddaughter died of so called SIDS after 8 shots. I started researching then and discovered the link between SIDS and vaccines. It was never a consideration to take the jab. This has been going on a long time. She now has two other children, no shots at all and completely healthy kids.
Almost 900 comments here.
I haven’t done the counting, but reviewing three pages the comments, it appears no one got jabbed.
There are a few (but not me!)
🤔AllToo … there are people who were vaxxed on each of the 12 pages I’ve read so far … Not sure where you are doing your review?
For full disclosure I am an Internist. I did not get the gene therapy for for a few reasons.
Easiest was I got the pestilence, and the gift of natural immunity. Best of the best.
Additionally, it was clear there was lying and obfuscation from the first words on the “pandemic”. Given the outright fraud, hiding of information, and completely anti-scientific approach to an infectious disease, there was no not a chance in hell I was taking an experimental therapy based on their word.
I was fortunate to have made my exit from the traditional setting to an alternative one a few months before the lunacy began. I was harassed and had vague threats in the one part time job I had while I transitioned. I would have been terminated had I remained in a traditional setting (hospital).
We lost friends, and honestly it was a surprise, surreal at the time, but clear as bell in retrospect. Had family we simply could not and do not discuss the issue with. Most got the experimental therapy. Some are ill now.
My son finally found a great job in his field, and after arrival was coerced to jab or work would be impossible.
Finally, I am a stubborn old son of a bitch. I will be damned if I will let anyone force something upon me I have decided against. At some point the cost doesn’t even matter, I will not budge.
Liking the “stubborn old S.O.B.” part! Message received and understood.
I’m not a clinician, but have worked in that world. I stumbled onto one of the “behind the scenes people” from a major metro area — academic biochemist working with the local health department. Very helpful. His take: “The numbers were pretty much all cooked, the pestilence was much harder to catch than we were being told, and authorities were aware they were perpetrating fraud.”
Career as a lawyer, during which I had a couple cases involving patients taking drugs authorized under EUA. So I knew enough about the approval and use process to know the govt and the drug firms were violating every rule under which an EUA could be granted. Rule #1. No coercion, demand, incentive or mandate is allowed. That was enough for me.
Plus by that time I had long known the entire thing was a psyop. So even without the above knowledge my distrust of the govt would have been enough.
First, the survival rate according to the CDCs own numbers was greater than 97%. I would take those odds to Vegas. Second, the therapy was basically untested. Oh sure, they ran quick trials with crappy oversight and apparent cheating that gave OUTSTANDING NUMBERS. Remember, 100% effective? I called BS on that as soon as they started touting it. Even a casual knowledge of statistical significance meant the results were absolutely unreliable.
Finally, I remember the scene from The Outlaw Josie Wales where the elixir salesman pushing his miracle in the street tells Lone Waddie that it cures everything and it was especially good for those who “can’t hold their liquor.” Lone asked, “What’s in it?” The huckster said he didn’t know. Lone said, “You drink it.” No one could tell us what was in it. Saving humanity demanded we all line up… for a price (the f’ing shot wasn’t free). If the government refused to pay for it, then there would be no push. It turns out that it is the greatest therapy related disaster in the history of humanity, and the continued toll it will take will remain unwritten and uncounted.
I have no faith in the government goons at the CDC or other alphabet medical agencies to have my, my family, or my friends best interests as their motivating drive. They are liars and thieves, and I hope that they all get served the justice they so much deserve.
I reluctantly took the first two Moderna shots. I knew what the deal was . My aging parents were in a facility and we were not allowed contact with them nor able to assist with their care without the shot. I took them knowing full well I may likely die but felt it necessary to be with my parents. My dad died after the second Pfizer shot. He became bed ridden immediately and said he was dying within 2 days of the shot. Massive heart attack 4 months later and he died. he never was the same afyer shots , quit eating, repeatedly said he was dying and had numerous issues and slept in bed the entire time. Could not even go down to eat. It breaks my heart. Mom has been declining but I’m not sure it’s the shots or just natural age progression. Either way it saddens me I had to make this decision.
I was never worried because there had been plenty of previous ‘pandemic scares’ that never amounted to anything. The media reporting again seemed ‘off’ (too ‘scary’ and no mention of healthy living), and the politicians seemed like the usual liars they are; my default position is they lie until proven otherwise. The case numbers in the cities were single digits and slow to rise.
I read my country’s government health report. The second edition in early 2020 stated that the virus may be problematic to the elderly or those with a co-morbidity and, therefore, did not match what the media and politicians were saying.
The first of the media scare-predictions did not eventuate. All of the early statistics did not equate to a pandemic. As soon as they began concentrating on ‘case numbers’, that, to me, was a sign of real corruption. I’ve never had a flu shot, which I always thought is unnecessary.
I’m not a follower of bad rules anyway, so as soon as the first interstate lockdowns arose, I made certain to drive over the state border, and back again. I saw how slack the entry checking was, at that time.
As time went on, I used to say, ‘If there was a genuine pandemic, the mask wearers would not be browsing the shopping malls in peak hour – they’d be home.”.
The fallout came from acquaintances (who wished me death) and family, when my social media posts were contrary to their beliefs. I used statistics, early government reports, reason. They used scary video from China, deaths in Italy, ‘trust in our leaders’ (and other illogic), and, ‘I don’t care I just want to travel’.
The few people I value, I still speak with but this topic rarely arises. For most of the others, I don’t bother repairing bridges that they have burned. And for the ones who wished me death, right back at them, but it seems the jab is not killing off the right people.
For any organisation who refused me entry, or wanted to ‘ze the paperz’, wherever possible, I do not use them anymore.
This whole saga, and further reading, has turned me off all vaccines.
I was 48 when COVID hit. I was never worried. I did research. I never trusted something that came out so fast. How could they claim something was safe and effective in so little time. It all just struck me as super suspicious. Plus, I know how phrama works with government. But honestly the real deal breaker was seeing how hard it was being pushed. That just set off red flags everywhere. I saw the scare tactics working in overdrive. When media and government are working that hard to scare people and to get them to do something then you know it is something bad.
A baby girl in the Netherlands was killed and her eye produced the fetal cells for the formulation, testing and production for one of the vaccine makers.
I knew that a just and righteous Creator would not allow an Innocent to be destroyed in order to “save” the planet from a virus.
Watched Fauci peddle his garbage with scarf lady almost everyday. Any alternative therapy to a vaccine, said he, is “anecdotal.” Was sickened by his obvious corruption that didn’t allow another avenue to a solution. Saw him bump fists with Jim Acosta of CNN. I read his valentine e-mails to Hillary Clinton. Total distrust in this fraudulent scum.
Was very afraid that management of my senior housing would have me evicted if I were not vaxxed. I was willing to move. Am thankful to God that I didn’t get the virus. I had been taking Vitamin D for years for another condition. Seems that lacking it was a common denominator for falling ill. Not sure.
Simple…I believe in science and this ain’t it.
Why would I take it when they exempted themselves and the people around them? If it was any good, they would have been the first in line.
I had covid in Jan 2020. Never felt it was necessary. But the the government started pushing and there was not real testing. Seemed like a shakedown. So sorry for those who took it and now are and/or dying. Can’t trust the government w our health. That simple.
