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.
I wasn’t interested in the shots to begin with, because by then I knew Covid was of little danger to me. However, I investigated them because I sensed that mandates were coming. The more I found out about the shots, the more I said “HELL NO!” By the time the jabs were rolled out, I was terrified about what they might do to the human race. I hoped the doom-cryers were wrong, but as time goes by, I fear they weren’t.
Oh, and the thanks I got for my decision? My own mother told me I was an “a-hole” for not getting “vaccinated.” (Since she got the shots, she’s had Covid THREE times, and had several minor strokes.)
I threatened my children *not* to take them, as they were being so heavily coerced. Strange how that goes..
I saw this podcast, with Steve Kirsch, Robert Malone and Brett Weinstein: https://odysee.com/@BretWeinstein:f/how-to-save-the-world,-in-three-easy:0 When I then learned that my uncle died less than 12 hours after getting his first dose of vaxx, that absolutely settled the question for me.
Personally, Weinstein strikes me as sincere/honest, Malone strikes me as deceptive and borderline untrustworthy (though quite knowledgeable and obviously deeply involved in the community that created all this technology), and Kirsch seems to be someone who is generating heat but not necessarily so much light.
It’s exceedingly difficult to know who to trust, and after trust is lost it’s confusing to reevaluate the impact of what you think is true.
The pressure was too strong; something wasn’t right. I have a healthy bs meter. The people pressuring me to get the jab were all liberals. Tho my concern turned to whether the plan was to separate the ideologies or to have a real pandemic where nobody believes it come next.
I did wear a mask to the grocery store, but I pulled a propeller from a wind-up balsa wood plane and drilled a hole in the mask and attached it.
Here’s to heathy BS meters!
It wasn’t all just leftists. Lots of good Christian people were guilted into getting the shots “for the good of others.”
I think of one dear couple, rock-solid lifelong conservatives… but they care for his elderly father, and were afraid he would die if he caught Covid from either of them. They felt morally obligated to get vaxxed…. Now they’re both having heart issues.
That was the most insidious pressure of all “for the good of others”
At the time, I lived on a very nice island that was popular with billionaires. I could see that the island was getting too crowded. Many people don’t plan for their families, and have bunches of babies even if they have no income or a place to raise them (such as their OWN home, not mom and dad’s home). So the state pays these people to have children and they are incentivized to breed for money. A very bad thing. In any case, it was obvious to me that the billionaires would put pressure on the govt to clear out the island from many of its inhabitants. It was very sad, I held up signs with others (all white people) at the side of the road, but most didn’t believe the info we were sharing.
I wore an N95 and a face shield!
till … oh, about a month ago…
I refused the ‘vaccine’ because 1) I am in my 50s and healthy; 2) viewed it as not completely necessary; 3) thought the mandate was quite sinister; 4) have a complete distrust of all health authorities.
Caused a rift with my step-daughter which has yet to heal… if it ever will. She is a newly minted medical professional; graduate school imparted a Marxist mindset contradictory of her upbringing.
Indeed, I thought as well something sinister was afoot.
My wife and I did not take the shot. There was too much contradictory information in this and the other websites that I frequent every day. The information I was reading made more sense than the information that I was being told. Also, I believe that if the government is allowed to tell us that we must take a shot because they say so (and I am supposed to believe them) they can also demand that I wear a yellow star. I never thought that I would live to see the day that I would need to write a religious accommodation request in order to keep my job, bit I did. It was a truly shocking experience. There are so many other reasons.
My wife and I have been rejected by some nephews/nieces but the closer relatives have been more tolerant although the tension is still there. I have even had a low level dispute with my pastor. We are the “others”.
Fortunately, we have friends who we agree with about not taking the shot and most of my children are all in agreement about not taking it either. We have all circled the wagons so to speak and support one another.
Interesting that you mention disputes with Pastors. There was something very wrong about many churches’ responses to the scamdemic.
Yes there was.
I saw it as them showing their true colors.
In my opinion, there isn’t anything Christian about the mainline / mainstream churches.
There hasn’t been for a loooong time and I am reminded,
Come out of her lest you share in her punishments.
Same goes for the satanic systems we grew up with.
Engage only as much as needed, but do not belong.
Agree. I was completely disheartened with my church’s quick embrace of not gathering to worship(member for 30+ yrs). They folded like a cheap suit.
It truly scarred me. I think I’ve only been back twice since the scandemic started, but continue my financial giving. So very disappointed in our leadership. Not an ounce of fight in them.
Haven’t been back to my church since they jumped on the plandemic bandwagon. What made matters worse was the pastor’s wife may as well have been a dancing tik tok nurse, so PROUD of herself for being a “hero” while shunning our most vulnerable parishioners.
I’m not a Christian, but I dimly remember something about Christians being told to live without fear.
The Dalai Lama Receives COVID Vaccine, Calls on Others to Get the Injection
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/dalai-lama-receives-covid-vaccine-230147318.html
Indeed. This event showed just how many live their lives as secularists with a Christian veneer.
“Quick vaxxers” responded to the call to protect the community vs “selfishly” look out for my own interest. I was beaten with this club many times. My perception was that younger, more educated people and those living in large cities were far more open to this appeal compared to the older, more traditional, more rural among us.
Imo, the govt ran a terror campaign with their baloney statistics and never ending non-scientific crap from public health officials. I do not blame church leaders for acting to protect the health of people who were frightened.
This exploiting of the divide between scared people who were encouraged to respond with a love-thy-neighbor approach versus less trusting, more skeptical, more independent-minded, was absolutely the most pernicious element of this so-called pandemic.
We have been divided and symbolically marked. Many of us even now remain sadly separated from family and former friends. We have been cast out and ostracized en-masse as uncaring for the community regardless of having been right or wrong.
It’s hard to believe, especially in light of the globally uniform response and the shady cast of characters that promoted and encouraged it, that exploiting this divide was not fully intentional.
Two reasons:
1) I knew something was wrong when the government was pushing so hard. They never do ANYTHING for altruistic reasons, and
2) No chance I was taking something that was done in about 10% of the normal time frame. Would you get in a car that was built 90% faster than normal? Yeah, me neither.
Sundance. My BS meter was pegged when so called experts were telling me ,a cloth rag(mask) would stop a virus .Two rags would be better. I spent close to thirty five years trained in the use of respiratory protection ,per OSHA standard 1910.134. Trained, fit tested, and medically cleared to wear a respirator. Trained in the limitations of respirators. From dust masks (N-95) to Fresh air ,S.C.B.A. and Airline. Going from the Bullsh– of the rags (masks) as protection. To a take this miracle shot or vaccine was a very big hell no. I advise treepers to look into OSHA 1910.134. Lots of info.
I didn’t trust the “science” and wanted nothing to do with MRNA shot. I applied for and was granted a religious exemption with my employer. Thank God I didn’t succumb to the pressure to take the experimental jab.
Yes, science requires multiple points of view. Uniformity of opinion is just fake science. Which, btw, is precisely why global warming is also fake science.
Oddly if you read the actual scientific papers on global warming a lot of the scientists are very open about the uncertainty involved in climate models. It’s that there are activists and invested parties who ignore them.
I have many, many reasons, but I’ll start with the most basic. I invest in biotechnology companies and I understand how clinical trials work. It takes a ‘minimum’ of 3-5 years for a new drug to go through the clinical trial process. It can sometimes take much longer. Even if fast-tracked, it would still take a few years.
There is no way these drugs could be deemed 1) safe and 2) effective without these types of trials. They could be safe, but not effective (worthless) or they could be effective, but not safe (cause more harm than the actual disease). So, there is no way I would take any type of drug that was less than 3 years in development.
Not jabbed, never will be.
I am a researcher by trade and did not like what I was reading as soon as the fake vax became available. Too much coercion and BS. Never trusted the Traumatic Trio: Faux Chi, Birx, Collins.
Started reading Dr. McCullough, Malone, Kory, et al. to find out the truth.
Yes- it has affected many relationships but things have gotten better.
Nobody can answer this question: why is it that Op Warp Speed is the only President Trump program that the Bidenistas never tried to dismantle?
I was surprised as well. That and “Right to Try” legislation seem to be the only things they won’t touch.
I avoided it, but, was resigned to getting J&J to keep my OSHA30 or NYC SST card.
Low risk of death in my age group
Unknown safety
Independent thinking doctors and others provided compelling data and reasoning to avoid
Coercion campaign
Etc
Vaccines take ten to fifteen years to be fully vetted. The MRNA vaccines were was rushed out in under a year.
Vaccines for coronaviruses have always failed. Why would this be an exception?
The MRNA technology, while 20 years old, has had limited, if any, testing in humans prior to the vaccine rollout.
The government and its agencies lie, obfuscate, deceive routinely and cannot be trusted.
There were vast sums of money on the line for the vaccine companies. The vaccine companies had no incentive to be careful and every incentive to rush a vaccine into production and get billions of dollars. Injuries be damned.
Pfizer and Moderna and Johnson and Johnson are some of the most sued companies in history.
The vaccine companies have no liability for damages.
Pfizer fought to hide its paperwork for 75 years.
There are a multitude of conflicts of interest between the government, its agencies, and the vaccine companies.
There have been significant numbers of deaths and injuries related to the MRNA vaccines.
The government and its agencies lied routinely about covid, so why not about the vaccines?
Big Tech companies worked overtime to censor stories about injuries and deaths related to the MRNA vaccines.
In the end, I don’t trust the government or the vaccine companies. The whole affair reeks of lies, fraud, and deceit.
Never took the shot. Never wore a mask . I am 64 years old and I have never ever had the flu and haven’t even had a common cold in 40 years so was not going to risk this BS. Lots of angry people cos of the mask but I an old geezer and don’t give a cr*p. One guy said where is your mask? I said I think I left it on your mother’s nightstand. Good to be me.
The best mask response I’ve ever heard and I would love to stop laughing before my side splits!
Me too!
Thanks, I needed that great where is your mask response.
💯
My husband and I did not take the vaccine.
we reasoned that it was brought to market too quickly before adequate studies could be done to ensure safety. Our attitude is to wait and see.
its a personal choice and we hold no judgement on people either way.
we are not afraid and so we weren’t taken in by all the hype over this. Its our choice and we hold no one responsible for what may happen as a result of our choice.
After what the DoJ/FBI did to Trump I wasn’t in a hurry.
Covid hit the Navajo Nation hard and we knew a month or two before it was all over the news because of shortages at our local pharmacy. Being in a big family we all got sick around the same time and now I am hoping we have some kind of immunity.
Whenever a new strain is discovered we usually get sick for a day or two but nothing like our first battle with covid.
Only one of my family members was hospitalized when our local medicine man recommended it, The family member was a heavy marijuana smoker..So IDK
Was there ever mask mandates or other forced measures in your area?
The primary reason I didn’t get vaxxxed was because I had the china plague in early January of 2020 and survived it just fine. There was no need to take the vaxxx when it came out, I had no fear of the china plague.
I had it a second time two years later and it was so mild that I know I was right in not getting the vaxxx.
Same here. Second time it was a mild cold with cough. I asked a doctor why it would be worse the second time-wouldn’t natural immunity help fight if off if I get it again? She asked where I obtained my medical degree-dismissed me as ignorant.
Their arrogance and lack of humility is just astounding. After getting past the shock of a remark like that from somebody I used to trust, I think I’d have asked where *his* medical degree was obtained.
I had one for the mask Nazis.” Where did you get your degree in industrial hygiene? “
because our “government” suggested it…and that was a “not only no but hell no” on taking the jab…
Did not take it. I think for me it started with the masks. I’m suspicious cat too, when everyone was hyperventilating about the efficacy of masks I saw someone with HAZMAT certiication call out the insanity and pointed to OSHA as a source and lo and behold facts. Makes sense they regulate hazard workplaces and in detail described the efficacy of all 3 types of masks. Never looked back had the china flu 1x in 2021, luckily for me like a bad 3 day cold.
OHSA standard 1910.134 . AS I mentioned up link I spent nearly 35 years as a respiratory user. A mask is a tool. Effective when used right . But all the constant touching the mask ,wearing with a full beard. Aint no way you will get a seal with beard. There was a reason I was required to be clean shaven to wear a mask.
How many times does a person get to lie to you before you don’t trust them anymore? For me, it is just once. The lies were obvious about the masks. Anyone could have checked the manufacturer website and seen that even the n95 won’t stop a virus. OSHA will tell you the same thing, but fauci kept flip floping. When the jabs came out and any dissenting opinion was censored, big red flag there. No mask and no jab for me. It cost me my small service business because I couldn’t stand the insanity of my customers and just shut the business down. Fortunately I was old enough to retire and I don’t regret my decision.
Same here on the masks. As I have mentioned before. I was a respiratory user for close to 35 years. No need to say, I think I know some things about masks. I wore N-95 all the way to Fresh Air.
Yep me too…the final straw was a customer asking if I’d sneezed or coughed in the last week while on the way to their house. I hesitated a second and then let out a big sneeze…LOL Went home and shut down the business.
My family and I are “suspicious cats”, understand that doctors are licensed to practice, we don’t believe in the myriad of vaccinations that have been added the last 30+ years, and since our wonderful President Donald J Trump exposed the corruption of everything government, we passed. We don’t judge if you took it, everyone has a choice. I lost my job of 18 years because of it, and haven’t seen one of my siblings for over three years because she doesn’t want to be around the unvaccinated.
I did not take it. If I hadn’t retired in 2020, my job would have required it in October 2021. I never trusted big pharma, especially since my daughter had an adverse reaction to mmr vaccine and the doctors said 100% not the vaccine. I had issues with such a response from the doctor.
Covid didnt frighten me. As time moved along I was worried it might come to not seeing people or elderly. I have great family and friends that could care less about mrna shots. However we would never jeopardize someone’s health by being careless with germs. Thankfully no one lost jobs over it. GRACE BE TO GOD💕❤🙏
If it came to losing my job, I’m not sure how I would’ve handled it, I was fortunate to have had an opportunity to retire.
I do know I read alot of info and absolutely had well informed people in my hemisphere.
Never once did I consider taking the “vaccine”, nor did either of my adult daughters or my husband. It was never a consideration. I told my husband in April 2020 that this was all nonsense. It is/was a VIRUS. Where is the common sense?! The scariest thing to me is the fact that I live amongst so many ignorant, naive, gullible people. Never, ever did I feel pressure to get this “vaccine” (it is NOT a vaccine). I lost no family or friends over this, and I was never hesitant nor afraid to discuss my very strong feelings about these criminal actions—and, that is what they are. This “virus” and the “vaccine” are all part of a bigger agenda. If you haven’t been paying attention since Barry Soetero was ‘elected’ in 2008, you should have been! For those still not awake—the forced “inflation”, “climate-change” agenda, open border, etc, are all linked to the “virus/vaccine”.
I was afraid of Covid-19 in March 2020 and then I saw the very fake but scary Chinese ppl falling dead in the streets and thought “gaslighting “. Then therapeutics like Ivermectin were demonized so I bought 1k of them from India. By the time I was eligible there was no way I was going to take an experimental “vaccine”.
Many around me got the vaccine including my adult children, no family fights but lots of pleading, fear for us. 1/22 my husband and I caught the bioweapon Covid-19 and it was not mild but we survived with therapeutics.
I call it a bioweapon b/c it was like no flu I ever had and I am experiencing side effects that are associated with the vaccine: very frequent shingles outbreaks and other signs of low immune system response even though I was thoroughly vaccinated against shingles. I will never take another vaccine in my life.
I pray for everyone impacted by this horrible weapon. May God have mercy on us.
Research antivirals (and their side effects) related to fighting shingles / herpes to see if they could help
JDV,
Thank you! I have been experimenting. I was not getting any relief from L-lysine until I switched to taking it on an empty stomach. It was an idea I got from Dr. Michael Eades about taking L-arginine for increasing NO. It is helping now.
I don’t trust their shingles “vaccine” or any other flu “vaccines” they may offer. Now they want to put mRNA in all these other injections.
Once you understand the depopulation aspect of their propaganda campaign, frankly, anything they give us should be regarded with extreme caution.
Melinda, you already have ivermectin and HCQ hint hint…. start researching parasites and “viruses”.
My wife and I had the Rona early in March 2020 during our travel in France. Since I was a biochemistry teacher for Nurses and Medical professionals I understood that we had real immunity. We had no reason for any vaccine since we were donating Covid plasma and testing for High antibodies (Memory T cells) thru February of 2022. I instructed Seniors about Ivermectin, Querecetin, ZINC and hydroxychloroquin early in June 2020. Nobody did anything to follow advice except a few took Zinc. They did not get the Rona until early 2022.
Short answer why I did not get the shot, is that I cannot trust of them that pushed it.
I’ve been lied to. I’ve had psychological techniques used in an attempt to sway my mind, with bribes, and threats.
I’ve read broadly enough that I will make my own determination after I’ve reviewed all of the pertinent facts.
What I know in this is that this mRNA tech is gene therapy, and was named as such in the associated patents. This was never properly tested for efficacy in this application in humans.
The breadth of efforts employed to get this shot injected into everyone implies sinister motives in my opinion. Just for the profits to the sellers? Possible. Could be more than that and I cannot discount that either.
Let’s see. Simple answer, after decades of government corruption basically destructive of people and their lives, how could anything promoted by the corporate establishment’s figureheads be considered broadly helpful for anyone but Big Pharma, their lobbyists and the bought and paid for politicians? And the rational voices being drowned out by leftist talking heads and other sources–it was a simple decision to make.
Exactly, current globalist elites making unheard of and colossal efforts to save the life of the older, sicker, not longer working and most expensive to SS and Health Care patients? Ha, not a chance it wasn’t a duplicity there…
15%’er here…mandated by my employer….fortunate to have apparently got an untainted batch….and never got near the boosters
I considered it but then thought better of it, anything the government so vehemently pushes on the public cant be good, add to that the un tested status and it being not a conventional vaxx, i figured id just watch.
The entire operation was rushed and didn’t make sense to me considering the fact the final product was supposed to be a vaccine.
Additional research about risk factors were coming out and didn’t make sense based on my personal situation.
Also, I knew that if I did take it, there would be a good chance I’d be constantly worrying about long-term side effects even if I wasn’t having any problems.
Finally, more info about Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine was coming out along with other basic remedies.
There was a lot of pressure via work to take it and for a while I wasn’t sure how that would play out. Luckily, there ended up being no mandatory requirement.
Also read RFK Jr’s book which was rather eye-opening.
Got the ‘Rona in April 2021. Relatively mild; I’ve had worse colds. Natural immunity plus promotion by the government made up my mind to not take the jab. Very happy I didn’t. Why would you be surprised that the vast majority of readers of this blog would be non-vaxed?
I read an early report on the DNA sequencing of the virus and took from it that it was two strains munged together with a man-made glue portion. That alone was enough for me to hesitate. That and the article disappeared…
Along with the overwhelming spin dropped by the politicians first, then the media there had to be something fishy going on.
THEN, they gave the drug companies immunity…Ding.Ding.Ding.Nope….
According to Tyson de Grasse, I am selfish.
According to my medical credentials, everything peddled by the CDC and WHO were wrong so I assumed the shot was also a joke.
Before the shot, the percentage of infected which were asymptomatic was very high.
The application of mandates raised a red flag.
The issue of protection from liability Indicated they knew there were problems with every version of mRNA
My family most likely went through covid in December 2019- After the virus became mainstream news, it was obvious that something was amok, in the lack of safety profile of the “so called vaccine”, along with the need to change the definition not once, but twice and my gut feeling overall was that our government wasn’t telling us the whole story.
I did not get a shot. My son lost his job for refusing to get the jab, however, my wife was coerced into taking the jab or losing her position that she has in order to maintain health insurance. She has survived 2 bouts with Hodgkins and can not get coverage that is affordable without the benefits of the group coverage.
Why not take the jab you ask? Because we all suspected it was a bunch of MALARKY from the start!
Took the Johnson and Johnson one and done.
I was not sure about the MRNA and understood that J&J was closer to the traditional vaccine
I’m over 65 and wanted to visit 94 year old relative.
No boosters.
I have not experienced any issues with my decision but I don’t talk about it either. I try not to judge others when they tell me about their most recent booster 😉
I’m a nerd for documents, law and anything else to help me make the right decision.
I knew what is in the data before most did and understood the legality of all of it.
therefore, my choice was “Pure Blood”
I was in college when the swine flu was alleged to have been identified at Fort Dix. I thought critically about the “evidence” and determined it was inadequate to base any action.
WRT the WuFlu, the initial reports aroused lots of fear. I thought a “wait and see” approach would reveal much more about the flu and its lethality.
It did. The reports of deaths quickly failed to make sense and the rest is history.
And I have siblings in the medical field who drank the Koolaid, claimed they were knowledgeable about it and took the jabs. It will always be the elephant in the room for them but I have never and will never use “I told you so” because it will not change anything.
Someday I hope to meet someone who has an understanding of “informed consent” and is able to articulate the case as to why they voluntarily took the shot.
Informed Consents were never written, approved, nor distributed… for many reasons. Perhaps that is why the sheep put their arm out the window at the CVS drive thru.
And those who consented without being informed carry that burden.
Untested and quickly rushed to market. Vaccines typically take years to be developed and even more to be tested.
With effective therapeutics and being healthy the risks outweighed the possible rewards.
I ended up having covid. It was pretty much a flu that lasted several days.
My husband and I got COVID (Delta) in January 2021 so we had antibodies. PLUS the last Flu shot I took was Swine Flu shot in 1976. Never took another one and never got the flu either. I am sort of a Natural remedy/Eastern Med/Anything but Western Med girl all my life and it has served me well. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it….
Signed,
Skeptic leftover from the 70’s
Based on everything I was reading (I haven’t watched broadcast/cable/satellite TV for the last 30 years) when the “vaccine” was being rolled out, given my age (retired) and current health, it was clear to me that my health was at much lower risk overall if I avoided the experimental mRNA injection.
At no time did I doubt that the virus was intentionally released by the same people who later tried to get me to take their jab. I just figured If they were going to take me out, they were going to have to do it the old fashioned way. I wasn’t going to just stand there and make it easy on them.
I read and think.
It was pretty clear very early on:
(1) Any thing said by Fauci and The CDC was not to be trusted; they were all over the map with contradictory advice and it was clearly very politicized. Neither Fauci nor Scarf lady followed their own advice even in public and the mask advice was absurd with respect to viruses.
(2) The vaccine was a rush job because of dire predictions from a UK scientist who was not trustworthy.
(3) The shot was not subject to normal safety testing.
(3) That only the very elderly and sick were higher risk than the flu.
(4) That there were cardiac risks to the vaccine.
(5) That People with low levels of Vitamin D were at risk.
(6) that antivirals such as HCQ + ZN or later ivermectin were protective.
(7) that hospitals were incentivized (being paid) to attribute illness& death to Covid greatly inflating the numbers; The data became patently dishonest.
(8) Voices of reason and well respected scientists were being demonized for politics.
The cruise ship that was allowed to dock on the west coast but whose passengers & crew could not leave put the lie to predictions of massive death across the population.
Yes.More red flags. Doctors doing nothing until you turn blue, and hospitals being financially incentivized, even more if you die. Perverse.
I am proudly completely anti-vax. I discovered they were knowingly poisoning a large subset of children in 2016 when I did a deep dive on the vaccines on the schedule after my daughter had very serious adverse events and yet her pedi wanted me to continue. I then had to call 12 doctors who would see her if she didnt “stay on schedule”. This led me down the vaccine rabbit hole. Del Bigtree is a TRUTH TELLER. I have a medical background. The studies are BS. They dont use a placebo as the control in any of them among other flaws in the “safety” studies. We knew immediately that hydroxychloroquine was 98% effective in killing virus and they crushed it along with an even better treatment, Ivermectin. The behavior of the medical community, pharmacies, etc at large was SO ALARMING to anyone who understood how these things usually work and go down. A month in I said I should have known this is the route they would take…the vaccine dogma is STRONG in the US. Do yourself a favor and NEVER take another one.
I think the data on Ivm and HCQ is a lot more nuanced. I tend to place a lot of trust in the FLCCC protocols, developed by bc experienced doctors over time.
And this reminds me, the fact that studies of therapeutic regimes, starting early, incorporating Zn, and focused on at-risk populations, was just another red flag.
The need for such studies was glaringly obvious but the studies actually performed seemed almost designed to fail. The entire industry just seemed to suffer from the most amazing lack of common sense.
Sundance: the health care profession has taught me — over the many encounters alive had with them — that they are not in it for my health.
Well, there were a few exceptions to that. But I’d say at least 90-95% of the health professionals over my 65+ years have been:
-abusive when no one else was looking
-humiliating
-eager to make me or my husband look stupid
-judgmental
-cruel
-anxious to keep me or my husband from asking the questions we wanted
-rushing to get out of the room
-not really paying attention to us
-threatened and defensive (thereby acting threatening, body language and all) if they discovered we were seeking alternative advice or had begun using alternative methods of healing
Finding my naturopath was a God-send back in 2002z
He spent time to listen, taught us how to live healthfully day to day, how to build a strong immune system, and to NEVER take any vaccine (not even Tentanus when I cut myself on metal that may or may not have been rusty).
No vaccine immunizes. It’s a fallacy they’ve sold us. I have studied a number of the writings and Ted talk and videos of Sherry Tenpenny, DO, world expert on vaccines.
I’m healthier than I have ever been.
I did not get Covid, encouraged all those around me to remove their masks if they wished, did not social distance, did not get vaxxed, and encouraged a number of people NOT to get vaxxed.
I prayed a lot that shedding would not be an issue with this covid-death-jab as it definitely is with other vaccines.
It turns out (per Peter McCullough MD) that shedding is occurring and is a concern.
That is very sad to me.
Can confirm. Health Care lacks “care”.
I was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2009. They can tell you your prognosis for every type of brain cancer. 6 months for this one, 18 months for that one, but only if you agree to take the chemo. Once I declined chemo, that stopped talking to me.
How do they know if chemo is not actually doing more harm than good if they never follow up with people that don’t take it?
You would think the doctors would beat a path to my door to talk to me.
God bless you and your family.
Yet another reminder / red flag. The medical community and political leadership pretense that the virus was communicable outside… no children playgrounds, dumping sand on skateboard arenas, people being beaten for going on a dog walk, arrested for swimming alone on a beach… and not one public health official with the guts to stand up and say “enough!” Gosh, this was just insane.
I was always skeptical, but when the politicians and celebrities started YELLING at us i knew something was either wrong, or worse, evil
Personally, followed the invention of the vaccine, then sifted the internet for info as it was being rolled out. One could discern it had not been tested like other vaccines, which set off an alarm. Then watched Faux Chi and Big Bird get behind it and knew it was suspect. Spoke to a highly learned Doc buddy who warned me to be cautious and wait at least 6 months.
End result, after the lying campaign had run its course, I no longer trust any vaccine the medical establishment promotes.
I took an alternative route and pushed my immune system via a cocktail of vitamins, supplements, and Turkey tail mushroom powder. I have not had a sniffle in 5 years.
The medical establishment has permanently destroyed its credibility on Vaccines with me for ever.
Nice job, fools. Once you’ve impeached your credibility, it’s almost impossible to overcome that problem.
My wife and I did not. Our 3 kids did not. We are health care professionals. My wife and I studied, researched, and prayed for God’s wisdom. All the animal models failed with mRNA technology. The initial data out of China was it was a SARS/Beta coronavirus so historically highly mutanagenic and similar to influenza A/B. I knew once source area of Wuhan that spike would be nasty but eventually have antigen escape. I also followed the data and science on the infectivity and knew risk for our family was low and to believe the opposite of what is being pumped in the ether. In the end, immune imprinting was known and I have always been a proponent of innate and adaptive natural immunity.
What did I pay for this? I helped coworkers write religious exemptions. I educated family, friends, strangers, and coworkers about all (I mean ALL) the data. I counseled and advised many. I was vocal about autonomy and displayed data from VAERS, Brazil, Dr. Kory, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, etc. As a pharmacist the mechanisms were apparent and the real life data spoke for itself. I SAW people flip a switch on ivermectin and HCQ. I SAW AND LIVED people and patients DIE from remdesivir. I SAW and loved seeing treatment withheld from patients in the hospital. I saw patients gasp their last breath without being treated with curative and therapeutic drugs. I saw the bodies taken out of the COVID unit or COVID hall. I saw the money the hospital got for each COVID + ventilator ICD-10 code.
What did I lose? My job as a pharmacist at the hospital.
What do I still have?
My family, my Christian faith, and my soul.
There are wolves, there are sheep, and there are sheep dogs that protect the sheep….and I’d do it again given the opportunity.
Never give in. Never give up. Always keep the faith.

Thank you for taking a STAND. I know it cost you your job, but I also firmly believe… that we now have an experimental and a control group. We may find society will need the pure bloods depending upon the adverse nature of the mRNA revisions. (Would employers risk their entire workforce to not have a mix of employees??? What if all your employees who took the experimental jab.. all had adverse affects… and thus were permanently disabled, or worse? How much liability does an employer have by forcing the jab?)
My question now is… what will the Regeneron infusions do to us? Those were experimental, too. I can’t even speak of the long-COVID symptoms I still carry 16 months later after I barely survived and now with MOPD due to lung damage, parasomia, forced menopause… among other things.
Dear God, you are brave.
I’ve become oppositional. “Three Days of the Condor.” “I read things.” The more I read and listened to the offbeat sources, the more I realized all was not as it seemed. Scarf woman looked sideways too often. The haunting video of the doc from China, in bed, dying, warming people that this disease was not what we were being told, still gets me. Those eyes.
There was too much pressure put on us from all sides. Even family, one of whom died….a doc.
Cui bono. Not us, any of us.
Me, I said, “Nuts.”
I still read things. I did get shed on and got it. Almost died. But I wouldn’t take Remdesivir/be ventilated. That moment, that decision resonates as the bell tolling for medicine for me. I did witness to most in the hospital, but I would have rather died.
I didn’t die. I must have something left to do. What has been done with this and its related machinations or gambits will call down the wrath of God Almighty, as well it should.
You also have your integrity. God bless you.
I had read enough about masks, quarantines of the healthy, suppression information of the effectiveness of treatments, and the rules on emergency use authorization to trust those pushing mRNA. The more info that came out, the more reason I had not to trust those pushing it. Also had a visit with my doc for an unrelated matter, and he shared that anyone in his hospital association who requested an Exemption had to check a box that if they were denied, they had resigned. Honest people don’t behave that way. Dishonest people shouldn’t be trusted. Scarf lady and FauxXi reeked of dishonesty.
Remember how Rush mocked her as the “scarf queen”? He saw through them right away.
This is another great point. After the obvious attacks on Trump during his entire term, the idea that govt bureaucrats might leverage another opportunity to undermine him was far from nuts. The anti-Trump had been absolutely unhinged for four years. To Trump supporters paying attention that Pence-led committee and all its members smelled very sus from day 1. To me, this was clue #1 in the entire affair.
Too much pressure too fast, when 2 weeks stretched and stretched on and on, when I read articles and posts here and there and discussed with family members on both sides of the fence, some were in medical field………just did not add up. Frankly the political scene around the election bothered me a lot as well but I won’t go into that. Im 66 and my husband is 81. Neither of us are boosted. Some family members had to for jobs, some….well just because and that was their choice. One very close friend cancelled our annual Christmas get-together because I posted a photo of our family singing in church Christmas Eve, without masks and she deemed our rows of attendees too close. Only 1 family member ever pressed us to take the jab. Knowing what I know now…………I stand pat with my decision and so does my husband.
Untested. Pressure was way too much. Taking away of ivermectin and HCQ. No protocol from my doctor if I would be sick. So many red flags.
Lost friends.
Also change in conversation of other friends who vouched and took the shots.
Was asked not to come to my bookclub if not vaxxed.
