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.

It boils down to a number of reasons.
1. A strong sense of faith in God.
2. Far too many of those who not only encouraged the jab, but insisted on it for all practical purposes, I just flat out do not trust.
3. “If I am not for myself, then who shall be?” It may sound trite, but, I have tried to live a life largely self sufficient. With that in mind, I focused on a nutritional approach to my health
4. I suspected from the outset early in 2020 that all was not as it appeared. I made a point in not cooperating with the government narrative. I calculated that this approach was the safe one.
Did I catch it? Yes, possibly twice.
Here I am.
I nor my husband took the shot. It was never debated in our house because we do not trust the government.
I have never had a flu shot in my 71 years and the last time I had the flu was six years ago. Colds yes, once a year.
We both take a multi vitamin, Quercitin, D, C, zinc and NAC. Neither of us are on any pharmaceutical drugs. Blood pressure normal.
We have three grown children. Two of them along with spouses took it. (Jobs). My oldest grandson took it because his college required it. I live in fear for them every day that I rise. It makes no difference to me and is no consolation that I didn’t take it because without my children I will not be able to survive.
Those who gloat over not taking it,
Romans12:3
For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.
I was aware very early about the nefarious nature of both the manufactured virus and the shots. Dr. David Martin’s work was key in that, but there were others. I’ve long been frustrated eI’m with conventional medical care. I have Crohn’s, asthma and a wonky immune system so just knew the shots would likely hurt me. I had to threaten my husband with leaving him to get him to not get the shot.
We’re both very happy with our devision. (I get frequent painful symptoms, especially intense headache after being around shot/boostered people, which is enough for me.)
No repercussions where I live in Indiana except a brother who was paranoid at first. We have various friends who also didn’t get them, some who did. At church it’s the same. Husband has had surgeries, procedures, but not having had the shots wasn’t an issue. (Medical facilities requiring masks has been much more of an issue.)
Both wife and I are retired. Neither of us has taken the kill shot. Our health has been fine. We take our Vitamins and stay very active. We did our own research and coupled with the sense that the pro vax people were all scoundrels, decided not to move forward with the shot.
It’s an issue with most of our neighbors who have taken the shot, and are continuously down with covid. ‘Beyond help….
I worked in clinical research for Pharma for 20 years and couldn’t understand how this vaccine was being pushed with the limited data coming out of the trials and lack of long term data. In addition, when I reviewed the mortality data in the first month it was clear that those dying were quite elderly (80s) or with many comormiditities. I knew I was not at high risk but took steps to protect my immunity with vitamin regimen, nasal sprays, and fitness and nutrition.
After researching and reading the manufacturers submissions for the PCR testing and jab, it was an easy decision to decline. I knew already that zinc stops the replication of every RNA virus (Which is why it was recommended in 1974, to consume 20mg daily). I also know that since zinc is a positivity charged molecule, it needs a zinc ionophore like Quercetin (available OTC) to act as a carrier to get the zinc into my cells. I don’t use western medicine, or take pharmaceuticals. I was threatened with losing my job. Since I don’t respond well to bullies or peer pressure, let’s just say I clearly presented the facts so well, they did not go further. I also refused to fill out any forms. I researched the Court of Federal Claims and read about the horrific vaccine injuries and also read the law about the COVID cap for vaccine injuries. All led me to the IDFTS decision. By the way, 4 of my 20 neighbors have cancer. All suddenly diagnosed. One died within 8 weeks of the booster. Another has 2 forms of cancer and is in her way out. The other 2 are undergoing treatment, but it does not look good.
Just because a source is ”old ” does not make it less true.
“What is important is to dwell upon the increasing evidence of the existence of a secret conspiracy, throughout the world, for the destruction of organized government and the letting loose of evil.”Christian Science Monitor editorial, June 19th, 1920
I was living and working in New York on Long Island in 2020. I was an essential worker (Engineer for a Defense Contractor) and went to work every day through the height of the “Pandemic”. What I experienced first hand didn’t square with the propaganda being put out daily. We had people catch Covid, get sick, get better and come back to work. I think we had about 20 out of over a thousand employees get Covid. They all recovered rather quickly with varying reported degrees of sickness. I don’t believe any of them were hospitalized. At the same time, the old folks were dying off at an alarming rate, many of them in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. During all this time, the state was in a tight lockdown.
My wife and I escaped from New York in January 2021 and now live in the free state of Florida. My employer here (another Defense Contractor) passed on the Biden mandate for federal contractors in 2021. I said no way, they could fire me. They encouraged me to apply for a religious exemption, which I did and they approved. I wouldn’t do it primarily because I didn’t trust the Government. Also, I had already had Covid and had natural immunity. I did not experience any discrimination at work. Our family thought we were crazy for not getting jabbed and thought we were even more crazy by trying to encourage them not to get jabbed. We provided them with a lot of information that they could use to make a better informed decision but they didn’t pay attention.
We worry about the kids and grandkids and what will happen to them.
Jeff’s wife here.
Despite working in the Medical Industry most of my life – I have a healthy distrust of Doctors. I wanted Natural Immunity & no part of a rushed Jab.
I tried very hard to get Covid in 2020- took 20+ domestic flights, rented several vehicles, stayed in hotels, never used Anti-bacterials, always got my cart from the outside corral, never wiped it down, no mask until late June & only in stores that required them. I bought a house in another State, sold a house in NY, then bought a house in Florida.
Finally got Delta Covid in Aug, 2021, then Omicron in May, 2o22. Obviously the Original strain wasn’t very contagious.
I have never seen the number of people with Cancer that I am seeing & hearing about now & the course of diseases seems to be accelerated.
I did not take it. I work in healthcare and with a private physician group. Those five physicians were very skeptic of the shot and after I gotCOVID, I knew I had antibodies and was better off than any vaccine recipient. The physicians I worked with were prescribing ivermectin, zinc, vitamin d, NAC, famotidine for patients and it was working. Suddenly BCBS sent a letter saying they would stop paying our claims if we kept writing rx’s for ivermectin. Every agency and the local hospital were ALL pushing the vaccine. Some of the doctors caved but others did not. Proud to say that I never took the shot and never will. Medicine has become political and controlled. The doctors were basically forced to accept the treatment algorithm that make the vaccine the norm. I still work with doctors who are unvaccinated and we are in private practice. Big hospital and hospital owned practices do not allow physicians to think for themselves. We can tell them NO in private practice at least to some degree. God bless you all.
We all used to trust doctors and nurses in general. No more. There may be a few good ones left, but they’re hard to find.
They ruined their own credibilty.
No shot, No booster, No Problem. Christmas 2019 (3 weeks) went down with the wife what I believe was the flu (so much for the flu shot). Wife took the 2 Moderna no boosters.
COPD and a whole host of comorbidities my Dr. said until he finds out what in it. Stay away! He said I have too many allergies to take the risk.

I am an Aussie and have always been sceptical about the W.H.O and the United Nations, and SparrowHawk what you say is spot on. As soon as they announced this covid as a pandemic I was even more sceptical and when our government went all total lockdown and used brutal force in some states that was it for me. No vaccine till it was 1005 proven to be affective. (Which of course never has been and is more likey good for nothing.) My husband and I were treated like old fashioned lepers and my daughter was forced/coerced to have the jab so that she could take her daughter to kindy. She actually signed a statement telling the nurse that this was against her will. Luckily she had also done her research and started on all the zinc etc when it became inevitable. As an ex medic I was appalled at the doctors disregard for ALL patients and that they allowed politics to trump their Hippocratic Oath.
The Diamond Princess story told me the whole Covid 19 to do was an absolute scam. Then … WHY would I take a “vaccine” for a hyped up seasonal flu and if it was such a wonderful vaccine … WHY were the authorities mandating it? I caught the Covid early on and I sure wasn’t going to tarnish my sparking clean immunity!
Ya – I waited for some medical, virological article or paper to be written on the expereince with the Diamond Princess – and it NEVER ocurred! Complete silence! They (Fauci and company) wanted that covered up!
The Wikipedia entry on the “Diamond Princess Pandemic” bumps up the number of fatalities periodically. I believe the death toll was originally 5 or maybe even 4 but if someone on the passenger list died 3 months later … Bingo! Another Covid death! I checked it a few days ago and it stood at “7 to 14”.
No social distancing or any precautions were being taken by anyone onboard until the 1st case was diagnosed as a Covid case. This was the very beginning of February 2020 and the Covid was at it’s most virulent but still could only claim 4 victims out of 3,700 passengers and crew???!!! The AVERAGE passenger age was 69. How much easier does a virus want it!
Truly – “it had its chance”. Interesting, but not surprising that (politically left) Wikipedia up (the direction) and only UPdates their numbers …
No. Never. I won’t even wear a mask. I knew from simple research from the very beginning that: 1) everything about the virus was a lie; 2) the limited test results were censored and ceased; 3) mRNA is NOT a vaccine, it is dna altering therapy; 4) 2 ingredients jumped off the page at me from the get go, graphene oxide and fetal tissue; 5) suppressed test findings indicated a high rate of disastrous side effects including myocardia, sterilization, miscarriages and death to name just 4 known side effects. When I told my cardiologist no and named 2 or 3 of my reasons for refusing it, she literally grew angry and stomped out of the room saying anybody can say anything. It was the most bizarre, unprofessional response I’ve ever experienced. That right there told me she was a zombie, not a Hippocratic oath caregiver. Everything publicly associated with pushing the jabs was shear fear porn, absolute lies and clearly a designed narrative with only one course of action, inject or die! All you had to do was look around you and see people weren’t dying in droves in the streets, stores, hospitals, work or anywhere else. It’s always been a genocidal lie. And now we have the aftermath, millions of deaths and irreversible physical abnormalities and debilitating impairments. Never. Ever.
Based on all the research I’ve done over the years I knew that this shot was manufactured to kill people.
Yes…and ditto.
Had rona 1st time dec 19 didn’t know what it was but remember it being a really bad flu for two days or so I thought. This past October I got it again. this time I recognized the symptoms and tested positive. I did nothing. I sat home for 10 days waiting to get a negative test felt like shit for the first two days but after that it was just boring waiting it out. The VAX wasn’t available back in 19 why would I need the vaccine the second time. i am 71 years old. I’m fine
I trusted my immune system as I always have and it did a fine job again. I didn’t care much about what anyone else thought. When they started shutting things down I just let the idiots continue to be idiots.
No reason to, along with the mRNA aspect with 2 of them.
New the entire Chinavirus story was BS 3 days into it.
Luckily I am retired so I was not coerced into getting this experimental “vaccine”. I grew up in the 60’s where “Question Authority” was the young people’s slogan. When the definition of vaccine was re-written I became suspicious. I resisted the pressure to get vaccinated waiting for more data to be accumulated. I am glad I did as the death reports increase. Now I will always question government policies.
Been on CTH for a long time and never seen a response so big on a topic.
A lot of us trust Sundance with their personal story that they would not share with other people or agencies.
Was just thinking the same thing! Awesome!
It was all a murderous lie. It’s not a vaccine. No shot. Lost friends. Retained friendships that matter; they are closer.
This is a prelude to bigger tribulation. A boot-camp if you will. We are taking a road less traveled, and it’s making all the difference.
I don’t take “vacines.”
I work hard at keeping myself and my immune system strong.
I read RFK Jr’s book, “The Real Anthony Fauci.” I learned that the drug companies and our government that regulates them are corrupt and focused on making money and killing us. It caused me to cease other drugs that I’ve been on for years, high cholestrol and mild hypertension, and make real changes in my dietary habits.
I sent emails to many family members warning them of the poison vaccines. No one has ever thanked me but I have some nieces and nephews and others who remain unvaxed due to my warnings.
Our family unit did not take the shot…even under the threat of facing unemployment.
We went to Florida to work on our daughters house in March of 2020. I remember at that time there was one case in Tampa and about 3 cases in California. I thought as we drove down 75 in Florida, can you catch Covid from the car in front of you? A friend back in Minnesota posted on her facebook that her 20 year old son was the 9th case in Mn after returning from a trip around the world. She posted everyday regarding his fever and chills but then on the 4th day his fever broke. And, then no one else in the family got sick. They were very careful but still this was supposed to be a killer virus. I also watched closely in the local hardware store and Home Depot and no one seemed to be getting sick.
We also were already reading alternative sites that included information from Dr. Mccullough and Dr. Ryan Cole from Idaho. Dr. Huff in Canada and Dr. Malone were also early influences. The spike protein sounded like bad news and we never considered getting the shots.
I’m the only one in my larger family who didn’t take the shots. They all think we are nuts but we are friendly and haven’t been left out. My local art center has a vax mandate and I haven’t been allowed to go there for 3 years. I lost an art business that was going quite well.
the whole thing was easy to read for me …..govt imposed lockdowns in Sydney ,I was a lucky one that was allowed to work ,media at same time was saying a vaccine was in the works and should be available in a few months ,no coercion at this stage ,then more lockdowns when vax became available ,whole state govt (NSW)became borderline aggressive and pushy in there daily media conferences ,premiers of all states started to become unhinged and threatening ,police where aggressive .by this point if you where residing in certain suburbs in Sydney you had to take the shot to go to work,I noticed the rich suburbs managed to dodge the mandates ….helicopters being overhead day and night fed people’s anxieties …put my 8month year old and missus in car and drove 800km through a lockdown state with few other cars on the highways and relaxed in the mountains for a few weeks then returned to Sydney and dodged every mandate they attempted including renting a second accomodation …..tried to warn family and friend and coworkers that it was not a good idea to take it as a lot of evidence was around by that stage ,unfortunately whole family took it and 140 out of 15o took it in the company I work for ….still can’t believe so many buckled under threats of mandates or loss of freedom …..this is my hill and I firmly believe it is the most threatening and important topic in the world today …the way I see it is it is like a great white shark has taken a chunk out of its prey and now it has backed off ….just circling ….waiting ..we are that prey
My family and I took the initial Moderna shot. Yes, we drank the Kool Aid and believed the propaganda that the shot was safe and prevents transmission. We never dreamed that the medical profession would lie to the American People. A Dr. Peter McCollugh video outlining how alternative treatments are being suppressed opened our eyes to the truth.
We consider ourselves very fortunate to be alive and will refuse any and all boosters. Our trust in the medical profession has been shaken and our hearts go out to all whose loved ones have been injured or killed.
1)Top reason… I was going to try a newly approved MS drug. Before I could start it people starting having heart attacks and my doctor put me on hold…black box warning was issued for the medicine we found a different time proven treatment instead. Even Proper Trials do not uncover everything it takes a wider population and time to reveal any issues. mRNA was new and trials were not proper by any stretch of the imagination….red flag for me. Having MS is a malfunctioning immune system attacking my central nervous system there was no way I would consent to a brand new experimental miracle drug tinkering with my immune system . I received strong warnings from my drs that I was making a deadly decision to not get vaccinated
2) although I was nervous as most were at first…everything about Covid seemed sketchy from the beginning and it only increased in feeling like a forced narrative, truth coverup, and heavy compulsion to conform. I chose to trust my spidey senses and take the risk I might be wrong. The fact they wanted to take even that choice from me was the confirmation I was right. This wasn’t about saving lives.
3) they were not rallying to save and protect the elderly and instead directly harmed them (I’m from MA you know what our gov did) no rational mind could reconcile their actions. Instead they isolated and damaged our children. That harm to our children was the final straw that drove us to finally flee MA to FL
I am very relieved I made the decision I did and I pray protection and health for everyone I love that made the same or a different choice.
Being a research scientist for 33 years studying structural biology starting with DuPont and finishing with Bristol-Myers-Squibb I will tell you the truth.
I was retired when the Fauci Virus hit the internet. I don’t watch TV so that’s where I saw the “pandemic scare”. Since I had lots of free time I immediately started searching for any scientific group that may have published on it. Alas, I found a group in India who had sequenced some of the virus and found peculiar DNA sequences found in HIV which had to be inserted into this “novel” coronavirus. The odds of this new virus having those same sequences, which by the way are the ones that increase the binding of the spike protein to ACE receptors from 19 to ca. 3nm, are scientifically improbable to nil.
When that paper was subsequently squashed my ears perked up and I followed everything that Sundance and any other reliable blogger could uncover. Some of the most important topics were doctors talking freely about what they observed in the field. One of the early Frontline doctors had some positive results regarding HCQ/Zn and suggested taking 30 mg of Zn with tonic water daily to fight viral uptake. (We have been taking this daily for 3 years now with no ill effects and no flu of any kind)
When President Trump spoke about anti-virals like HCQ/Zn and the Pravda went berserk I knew we were over the target.
I knew all about the research of mRNA vaccines while working on HIV projects among others and I knew they were never approved because they KILLED most of the animals they were tested on.
I haven’t had a vaccine since childhood (late 50’s) when they were actually beneficial.
My Mom is 91 and my brother is 71. They both got the jab (Pfizer I believe) and have had no ill side effects. They did not isolate for more than 2 weeks when my Mom said,” This is insane. I’m going out with my friends and going to church!” We celebrated birthdays, etc. just like normal and none of us got sick.
99% of the people I know that have gotten the Fauci Virus got the JAB or JAB + Boosters. None of us ‘Purebloods” have gotten it and that includes my sons who were lucky enough not to have to put jab over job.
I understand those who were forced to get it due to economic reasons and I feel for them. But I also know many who gave up their way of life so they could actually live another day without an untested, experimental and heavily pressured piece of mRNA injected into them like LAB RATS.
Fauci needs to strung up along with all the rest of the liars and I really wish our real President would come out and tell the people that he got duped although he never forced anyone to get it.
I have certainly enjoyed all the stories written hear and I can’t thank Sundance and his band of misfits enough for the sanity that this site brings to all of us.
As Red Skelton always said at the end of his show “Good night and God bless!”
Very early in the scenario, they dropped the nugget that the survival rate for COVID was 99.97% across the entire population. That’s 99.97% <i>if you catch it.</i> That’s akin to a flu, so I didn’t see what was driving the urgency. Red flag.
Then they announced the development of a vaccine, that really wasn’t a vaccine. I read that the guy who developed the mRNA technology wasn’t on-board with this application. Red flag. Then a rushed “approval” process, in the face of the FDA which has ALWAYS been glacial about approving new drugs. Another red flag. When the jabs were released, the emphasis and rationale behind the push seemed to me a bit unseemly; something was “off.” Another red flag. Pfizer’s immunity from liability was another red flag. Then there was the torpedoing of less hazardous, and proven, alternatives such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine; the vehemence of their condemnation was a star-shell in the night. At this point my wife and I decided we weren’t participating in what was obviously entirely experimental., especially with a 99.97% survival rate. We’ll take our chances.
Then, mysteriously, one shot wasn’t enough. Then, another booster. Then another. All the while, they were claiming that natural immunity provided no benefit, which I knew wasn’t right (I took some biology courses in college). Moving sick, elderly folks into nursing homes was utterly irrational — this “cure” had taken on a life of its own, and it wasn’t healthy. The collective reaction to this “virus” had become an irrational, out-of-control moral panic.
Today, I look back on my decision and am satisfied we made the right choice. And now, people are “dying suddenly” (which, BTW, some people with good scientific credentials predicted, because we don’t know enough about the long-term effects of mRNA technology).
As a side note, upon hearing that this was an “accidental” lab leak, I jokingly told my wife that this was just the first stage of a two-stage, binary bio-weapon. Turns out I wasn’t far off.
Some of you may tire of hearing this , but for those who need to know —-THEY TELL YOU IN ADVANCE
‘there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system.Countless people … will hate the new world order … and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people.”
H. G. Wells, in his book entitled The New World Order (1939)
We are not anti-vaxxers but we picked up early on that the COVID “vaccines” were using an experimental gene therapy and had not gone through the testing required of any other vaccine, a years long process. We also saw that COVID was mostly killing old people with co-morbities. While we are in our seventies, we are in good health. So, we decided against getting vaccinated. Our dearest friends, both retired from medical careers, were desperate to get vaccinated. We worry about them.
In our research we learned that Hydroxy Chloroquine and Ivermection were effective against early COVID. We also learned that Vitamins D3 and C along with Zinc help maintain the body’s immune system so we starting taking those supplements. So far, no COVID. We did find an online source for Ivermectin so we got prescriptions for it. If we test positive for COVID, then we will take Ivermectin ASAP.
Dave, my personal trainer of ten years, the picture of health,was forced to get vaccinated in March 2021 by his employer, a hospital. In September 2021, he told me this workout would be our last. He told me that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney cancer. He died on the operating table after 12 hours of surgery in November 2021 at age 47. The cancer had spread to his lungs, spine and aorta. He fits the profile that undertakers are reporting – they are seeing younger cancer victims who show none of the ravages of radiation and chemotherapy treatment and they would not have picked cancer as the cause of death. Yet, a rapidly metastasizing cancer killed them before they even started treatment. Dave was a close friend and I sorely miss him.
If you have the choice, don’t get vaccinated. If you have been vaccinated, stop taking boosters.
So many great comments.
Me. I did not appreciate a mandate about my body, the hypocrisy was astounding. And besides, it kills people.
Her. No one can possibly dictate what I put into my body….My most inner personal space. No one. I refuse to give up my bodily autonomy to any entity.
I’m anti Pharmaceutical and Big Govt- 60 yr old Fort myers Beach resident thriving thru chaos with Crohns and No pharmaceuticals-
Inject vitamen D -two cycles annually-
That’s the silver bullet – with all the physical labor I’m in the best condition in 3 decades –
Well, when this thing started, I just naturally resisted, just off the bat. didn’t really know why at first. a few weeks passed, and the talk was “you have to” .that did it for me. You see, there ain’t nothing I got to do but die and pay taxes.so, I did my own research and discovered the mortality rate was mighty low.so what was all the fuss about? To my mind anyways. I did miss out on working at a few of the high paying jobs in my trade,, but that’ll be ok
They can’t get the seasonal flu shots to be anywhere near 100% effective, so what made people think they would get the Covid shot right, especially in such a short time frame.
Sensationalised media reports (both mainstream and social media) were an immediate red flag which made everything that followed a non-starter. Trusted myself, only. When they doubled-down with the wet market bat soup story, it just confirmed the promoted reality was bs, and a most interesting self-study in psychology began.
Trust yourself. Keep your head when all about you are losing theirs.
I did not take the shot because I have a killer immune system that does its job fighting bacteria and viruses. Years before my Mom passed away, she took the flu shot once and became sicker than a dog. That’s when I decided never to take shots for the flu and just let my body handle it.
I didn’t take it – Why? Bill Gates, that’s why.
I saw the vidio of him from 2017, he was on a stage in front of a screen and pointing to population statistics.
His point was we have too many people on earth and the way to stop population growth was – Vaccines.
That did it for me. Unfortunately my entire family took the shots and got boosted.
I’m making some headway getting them to take NAC and Quercitin/Zinc/ D3.
I would say that early on it was clear that the actual mortality rate was not what as initially modeled. We then as a family came down with the virus and we all recovered nicely. I would describe Covid 19 as a very strange version of the flu.
Anyway by that point the health care industry was pushing the idea that the natural antibodies were only going to be good for about six months. That didn’t make any sense to me and so I went to LabCorp at about one year after contracting Covid and had blood work done, low and behold, I still had the “Covid” antibodies.
That was basically it, we had natural immunity and saw no need to be vaccinated.
Sorry, lot of jargon here that won’t mean much to anyone, but here goes. I spent 15 years in pharma development, large molecule. I participated in the administration of one PIII clinical trial. (The trial was supposed to be an easy win, was a mere formality. Wrong; epic fail.) With due respect to President Trump, “warp speed” is science fiction. Based on my experience, the speed that this thing was created, developed, and the manufacturing validation done (?) was not believable. The clinical trials were bizarrely opaque. Based on my experience, everything about the credibility of whatever is in those vials is questionable. Simply from a pharma development and manufacturing perspective, I absolutely will not use that product.
On a completely separate topic, the logic behind the product is, to me, incomprehensible. People who work in pharma R&D or development will likely spend at least some time contemplating various forms of inflammation. When I heard that the foundation of the “vaccine” was the spike protein, I was astonished beyond words. Most everyone who pays ANY attention to the news, of any variety, has heard or read that the spike protein is a powerful inflammation agent. The spike protein all by itself is dangerous. Why would anyone think it makes sense to expose the human body to a powerful, dangerous inflammation agent?
Third subject is ADME. Sorry, more jargon. Since this thing is administered as mRNA, and we assume our bodies will produce the translated protein, how does anyone know what the actual dose is? As noted above, the spike protein is a dangerous inflammation agent that very likely can trigger an acute inflammation event. Populations are bell shaped distributions. We (pharma workers) do not know exactly how any one individual will take up, distribute, metabolize, and dispose of a particular molecule. For anyone who responded really, really well to the product, they took up and expressed that mRNA very well and produced a high-end dose of a powerful, dangerous inflammation agent inside their own body… an acute, very bad inflammation event seems inevitable.
I’m 67 – I didn’t even consider taking the injection. I’m wary about pharma medicines and prefer natural healing anyway, but with the political veneer on this one, I knew to steer clear of it. I did lose a friend over the fact of being unvaccinated, unfortunately, and didn’t volunteer the information to others in normal conversation. A church I was considering attending had their unvaccinated parishioners take communion separated from the group, each with his or her own wine & wafer in a sanitary package – as you might get from a vending machine. I decided not to attend.
No proper trails.
Lack of factual transparency.
Government mandated.
Finally the jab did not prevent you from getting Covid, and it did not stop you from transmitting it.
It never met the definition of the term vaccine, so the government changed the definition of vaccine.
Originally I planned to get the covid shot but I wanted to wait until after the hundreds of people in my area rushing to get it were done. During that time I decided to find out more about the shot. Ironically, the more I researched it, the more concerned I got. In no particular order, I discovered the shot had not been vetted. It was too new, so no one could say what the side effects were. (Immediately this reminded me of the Thalidomide babies). Then I realized that the illegal aliens coming over the border were not getting the shot, which made no sense. If Covid was so dangerous, why ignore the thousands of possible carriers coming into the country, while Americans were pressured to get it or else? Then I started getting suspicious of why governments world wide were pressuring every single person to get the shot. It made no sense. This was in 2020.
By 2022 my list of reasons for not getting the covid shot had grown exponentially. My research was based on information I read from many highly respected Doctors, particularly the brave Frontline Doctors and Dr. Robert Malone who helped invent the MRNA shot. Also by 2022, my family and I were feeling like loners and outcasts. We were modern day lepers in our own communities because we were – gasp! – unvaccinated. The social isolation and rejection of us for our choice made this ordeal so much harder, and yes, my relationship with my best friend since junior high school will never be the same due to my stance against the covid shot.
Now it is 2023 and I am reading about people – very young, young, and middle aged – who are “suddenly dying.” In the past 1 1/2 years, I have known personally 5 very healthy people who unexpectedly and suddenly died.
So yes, I am glad my family and I chose not to get the covid shot in spite of the intense and sometimes cruel pressure we endured. On a side note, I once had a wonderful Psych professor who spent a great deal of time teaching us about mob rule. I am convinced that from 2020 – 2022 we lived it.
Impact on my life? The pressure inside the Federal government to vaccinate, and also to believe in things like Russiagate, Orange Man Bad, and that White People are Evil, was intense. The hold-outs were openly vilified on the internal communications fora. Federal and DoD employees, all oath takers, told me that they wanted to be safe, “screw the Constitution and screw Free Speech.” That shocked me. Policy was that we hold-outs still had our rights (ha-ha!) but the actual culture was that we were all to leave and not let the swinging door hit our butts. I could have stayed to fight for my job, but, by the time of our ignominious collapse in Afghanistan, it was all bad news, all the time. I could not work for what had become more like our Cold War enemy, I could not work in a version of 1984. So I resigned at the end of 2021. I hurt my pension by leaving early. I doubt I will be able to collect on that promised pension.
Personal relationships have suffered, as I think of many of the vaxxed as some kind of alien Pod People. They are different. They cannot accept or admit what they have done, so they keep doubling down. Where I live I see people driving or walking alone, wearing masks. This sight hurts me every single time. I am struggling to have empathy for them, but the mask is such a stark statement, that they either comply, or they fear, or they BELIEVE. They have abased themselves, they crawled on their bellies before the altars of Fear and Compliance, so they can’t go back. I can never see a relative the same way as I did before, knowing that they got their children jabbed.
Having been self employed, 64 yrs old, out of town on business & blessed with good health when the 2 week lock down began, not able to find an open motel room or anything other than a drive thru windows open at a mom & pop chicken hut to eat at & a gas station to fill up at, it became very real to me that only God knows the number of my days. He has predetermined them since before my birth. The next day or two 1/2 a dozen companies emailed letters that I was an “essential” service to which my thought was “you mean expendable don’t you?” Other than some family & a few friends, no one has pressured me to take the jab & I’m not big on the medical profession to begin with. Have never had a flu shot & never really considered the mRNA experimental emergency treatment especially once the gubm’t & others with monetary interests started pushing it. Just my 2¢ worth.
No way would I ever take that. About 2 weeks into this mess I read one of CTH articles and I knew we had been duped. And then starting reading more about it and researching Fauci . It’s not about the virus it’s control. Pretty poopy deal when your government does that to its own people!!!!
Gut instinct at first followed by common sense and critical thinking skills told me not to get the shot
I didn’t get juiced up for Covid and have never had the Flu juice. I live in small town America and am surrounded by Amish. I never heard any Amish taking the juice. I caught Covid 3 times but never was sick. The 1st I coughed for 2 weeks, 2nd I ached all over with 8-12 fevers a day and breaking just under 100 degrees and the 3rd was a runny nose. I’m 63 and for 50 of those years I’ve been a smoker. I was scared for my wife ’cause she had colon cancer in 2010. The Doctor wanted her to take chemo treatments soon after the operation. The wife and I chose to get a 2nd opinion. We traveled many miles for 10 years for checkups. Never had any chemo treatment and take only a half an aspirin a day. That being said, the wife has never had Covid. PEOPLE, it doesn’t hurt getting a 2nd opinion… God bless you all,,,,,,
When the mRNA vax rolled out, I was very doubtful because the mRNA technology had failed before in trials and here they were rolling it out at “warp speed” with minimal trials. I also was certain I had already had the initial covid variant in January 2020 before covid was “a thing” in the U.S., took weeks to fully recover, but I felt no urgency to get the jab. Being in remission from a type of non-hodgkins lymphoma, I was not about to roll the dice with how the mRNA would mess with my immune system which was already under duress from the lymphoma, without some good demonstration of it’s efficacy and safety. I was told by my oncologist that I should take it. I was told repeatedly by friends and family that I should take it because I was “at risk”.
It didn’t take long after the rollout before I was 100% certain I would not take the vax. As time went on, the irrationality of the govt and medical establishment pushing it and the start of reported vax injuries just hardened my stance. I was unable to see certain family members in person up until late 2022 because of the vax insanity and their fear instilled by the propaganda, they didn’t want to be exposed to me. I just said let me know when you change your mind, and went on with life as normal.
I have been vocal about my vax opposition and lost a few friends over it I suppose, but have also had some admit respect for making the right call and they regret being bullied into taking it. I am glad I don’t have the stress of wondering if I will have a heart attack or stoke from the vax. I’ve had covid three times now, most recently in September. The last two times, took Ivermectin, moderate fever for 48 hours, then done.
I hope we see the total final collapse of the vax, the mRNA tech, the mandates and masks, in rapid fashion now. I will NEVER forgive the political and medical establishment hacks for what they did. From halting travel across state lines in early 2020, to the lockdowns and school shutdowns, the jab mandates, the prevention of early treatment, and pushing the toxic Remdesivir treatment that helped kill a dear friend. Screw them with extreme prejudice.
Excellent testimony. Thank you! You’ve expressed many sentiments that I’m totally in accord with.
I’ve been lucky. Aside from being blessed with great genes, I inherited my father’s mistrust of virtually anything government. Throw lawyers in there, and doctors, and you get the picture. He died at age 89. Aside from being age 69 at the time of Covid, I had no fear. I’ve never had a flu shot, and don’t remember ever having the flu at all. Or anything else for that matter. I had a customer facing job until the lock down with no issues. So it was an easy decision to just say no. My employer for my part time job said I had to get one (non profit). I asked for and got a religious exemption, but it came with a hook: weekly testing. Uh, no thanks.
Immediate family is supportive. Had a bit of trouble early, with couple of in laws blaming unvaxxed people for proliferating the spread. Fast forward to now, not even in the conversation. Had a brother who got a weird rash and tinnitus at the same time following a shot: I’ll bet that was the cause. Otherwise, so far no other issues.
Daily prayers for the health and welfare of my family.

I didn’t take it for the same reason I don’t take flu shots. No reason to.
I caught the covid in late December 2019. A weird cold, low fever for a few days, and a persistent cough after that for about a month and a half. And I’m a smoker. Took nothing for it. No biggie. And immune.
From the very early reports, it was clear that this thing was just not all that dangerous without obesity, some co-morbidity, old age, diabetes.

Interestingly enough– it appears that while smoking reduces your lung capacity– I have read that nicotine has been shown to mitigate COVID replication to some extent. And it’s not a issue of “some co-morbidity” — most folks who died in the hospital had > 6 comorbidities.
