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 didn’t take it for 2 reasons. One- it was rushed/ not a long enough trial. Two- The homeless in LA weren’t dropping dead from covid so I didn’t think it could be that bad for me or my kids.
It’s all your fault Sundance.
Once you have seen the string, you can’t unsee it.
1) Cost benefit analysis. Had C19, it wasn’t as bad as some flu I’ve had. Had natural immunity afterwards.
Shots had no long term safety data. I got Guillaine Barre after a flu shot, didn’t want to risk another bout.
We have been “Awake” for about 15 years and have always listened to alternative sources of information, so early on you had some courageous medical professionals casting doubt, which was good enough for me to put the brakes on the decision until more information came out. of which it did and settled it for us.
ditto. same for my cats.
I did too much research. There was an overbearing amount of propaganda/fear mongering… So, no shot for me or my hubby! He retired rather than be forced to take it.
Quercitin, zinc, vit c and D3 is all you need and that’s what we take whenever we are going to be around other people. Neither of us has had the crud.
Early on before its release I found out it was new technology involving our RNA. Oh??? And they were rushing it out. Not good. Then as the time for release approached I read that the testing had been very limited. Then when it was released I heard they had disbanded the control group, so those folks could get the shoot if they wanted — so there would be no long term results! Then I saw the first VAERs reports. Lot’s of miscarriages and strokes as I recall. I was 68 at the time, retired, and did not have to travel – AND I had already had Covid 19. Very minor case — just two days inconvenience (brain fog and feeling under the weather). So my wife and I decided not to get the vaxx. I also recommended my pregnant daughter in law not taking it — I forwarded her a VAERs summary. Two of my daughters who are RNs were not happy. One still will not talk to me or come visit. Two of my other daughters as well as a son and his wife, either never got vaxxed or are not willing to take another shot. One daughter knows 3 people who have “died suddenly.” I know one.
Unwillingness to discuss or provide context VAERS was another red flag. Felt like the thousands of entries were just dismissed as noise. And the reaction seemed very different to prior experience with the swine flu vax.
Because when the government tells tells me to hurry up and do something, “Take this shot,” “Get on this train,” “Register your firearms,” etc. my immediate reaction is to think it is not in my best interest.
I had WuFlu and recovered before anyone knew what it was. A shot was at best superfluous.
First I thought, well lets just wait and see – then no one I knew or heard of in my family/circle had gotten the virus. So, I thought how bad can it be if no one I know has it. Hardly a *pandemic* I thought.
Then all the scare tactics really started to interest me and I realized listening to doctors on YT or Bitchute gave me a completely different take on this *scam-demic* and therefore I never considered ever getting the vax/jab!
March of 2020, I actually got the virus and I did what the YT doctors advised – Vit C/D/Zinc Continuously checked blood oxygen levels – It was comparable to a mild cold with tiredness. I had horse IVM on hand and would have used it, but wasn’t necessary. I did lose taste and smell and to date neither has returned. (Oh, by the way I was 78 when I contracted it).
I refused to wear a mask – our friends and family celebrated holidays and birthdays as we always have. Did not lockdown – travelled where I cared to go etc. etc. Travelled by car North to see family – family travelled South to see us.
In essence – Ignored the g o v ‘ts advice, recommendations, mandates et al!!
I’m a skeptical person by nature, and my ‘spidey senses’ were sounding strong alerts from the very beginning of the scamdemic.
I don’t own a TV, and haven’t watched one in decades. Still, there was no escaping the over-the-top fear messages, blasting from everywhere.
Seeing everyone around me, wearing various & assorted masks on their faces — was something straight out of a zombie movie. Their eyes were full of fear.
I wanted no part of whatever it was everyone else appeared to be drinking.
And, I remain disappointed in my fellow man. Why didn’t they ask questions? Why did they just do as they were told? Why did they believe they were hearing the truth?
I’ve been distrustful of the pharmaceutical industry for quite some time. And, after this Covid nightmare/disaster, my trust of the medical community as a whole, has also nosedived.
All tragic. The Covid scenario turned the world on its head, with much devastation left in its aftermath. Unfortunately, those who concocted this whole thing are not finished with us yet.
Sundance, in answer to your question — I’ll choose imprisonment or death — to avoid being vaccinated.
In late 2018 I noted that CBP stopped (without the legally required Federal Register notice) to require arriving air passengers to fill out form 6059b (Customs declaration).
CDC relies heavily on the information from this form to trace infected or exposed passengers. I notified a CDC official of my concern, but to no avail.
I then surmised that a pandemic was being prepared, and that the plan included hobbling efforts to identify and contact infected passengers.
When the pandemic began, I reasoned that the planners would not go to the trouble to create, release, and allow to spread a dangerous disease merely in order to cure it, and thus the “cure” would likely be part of the attack.
I warned everyone I could, with little success. I tried to convince friends and neighbors to just wait. Got kicked off Next Door Neighbor.
Wrote my pastor a long email, the only time I had ever contacted him directly. It was no use.
When our Surgeon General was coming to speak to a number of SF Bay Area churches and promote the vaccine, I warned them that they might as well just have a Pfizer representative speak.
Again, no use.
Tried to convince my son and son-in-law (both Army) to refuse the vaccine. Failed again.
No, I won’t give up. And because the harm is now more obvious, its easier to get people to listen.
A year or two from now, the weakened, sick vaccinated people will call out for our help. Our Father is keeping us strong so we may do so.
Wow. Impressed.
Took the shot, primarily for work. No side effects to speak of. I have nothing against vaccines that work, but I really did not understand much about the covid shot (like it really is not a vaccine) at that time.
What convinced me to stop, after the second shot was all of the athletes, who had to be vaccinated to prevent the spread of covid, caught covid. And then some of them caught it a second time. Pretty much proved at that point it did not work.
Family is split, one of my brothers works for a Hospital and is fully vaccinated and boosted. He’s had covid 3X. Another brother has not been vacinated. He has also had covid 3x.
I’m partially vacinated and had it once. Not sure what that means.
I am 62 years old and have rheumatoid arthritis. I take medication that destroys my immune system so it will stop attacking my joints, organs etc. I also have an occasional rapid heartbeat that I take medication for. I am one of the immunocompromised you all were supposed to sacrifice for my safety (sarc). I drive a schoolbus with special needs students and have parents and various aides coming on and off the bus. We have been in school since the fall of 2020. With all that, and my Rheumatologist and Primary care doctors strongly urging me to get the shot, something just held me back. Too new, no real testing done on it, no long term effects known, and suspicion of Government pressure to do it. Been coming to this site since the Trayvon days and found enough support from others feeling the same and having the same questions I did to convince me to hold off. Of my adult children 2 out of 3 got the vaccine for their jobs. My one son is a teacher in New Jersey and has had boosters too. He now has an inoperable brain tumor that he is in treatment for. Nothing will convince me that wasnt caused by the vaccine. I will never say that to him because what difference will that make now?
I’m so sorry about your son 🙁
Praying for your son.
My son too but he was lucky. It was in a spot they could operate on and they think they got it all. He’s had three clean MRIs since they cut his head open and lasered it out. Yes, IMHO it was most likely the vax. Vaxxed X2 for his work. The seizure came 5 months later.
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.03.02.482639v1
I am so happy for you and your son. There has been information about these shots breaking through the barrier to the brain so I wont be surprised to see more of this coming out eventually. Prayers for your sons continued improvement.
Thank you. I think that is only one cancer of many that happen or go out of control from the vax.
The government has lied to me my whole entire life in order to consolidate and amplify their power. You think they’re telling the truth about something that exponentially consolidates and amplifies their power?
Revelation 18:23
“And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy SORCERIES were all nations deceived.”
Sorceries in Greek is ‘pharmakeia’.
The root of ‘pharmakeia’ is ‘pharmakeus’.
‘Pharmakeus’ means ‘sorcerer’
‘Pharmakeia’ means ‘sorcerers potions(of death)’.
Thank you, Jesus, for blessing me with parents that made me go to Church.
and I thank Him for the same.
29 years ago I had a 6 month old with RSV, very sick. The pediatrician would not admit him to hospital telling me there was nothing they could do for him that I couldn’t do. To go home and make sure his breaths did not go under a certain number per minute. After he got better I researched RSV because at that time I had not heard of it. The research showed that they had developed a vaccine for RSV using mRNA technology that had showed promise until all the ferrets that were used for testing died. It was due to “pathogenic priming”which is what we are seeing now with the COVID shots. They knew about this 30 years ago.
Most of my family did not partake. Some at my workplace tried to shame me. Did not work.
Also I knew there are many corona viruses that cause colds and flu. To get the hysteria going they sold this one as a “novel” corona virus. Why would we suddenly have a novel virus. I think the reason it is novel is because it was developed in a lab.
Simple.
COVID has a 99% survival rate.
Why on Earth would I take a shot? ANY shot, much less one that’s not fully approved by the FDA and was rushed though all clinical trials.
Retired physician here:
40 yrs ago a wise old medical school professor said: “ Don’t be the first doc on the block to use a new medicine , but don’t be the last either.” That advice served me well throughout my career. I saw so many new meds pulled off the market after they were out for a while. For example, the Rotavirus vaccine for kids was pulled quickly after many cases of intestinal intussception occurred in infants.
I love that photo! Looks like the interstate perhaps in Idaho or Montana, approaching the Rockies from the east….
I did not take the shots. In April of 2020, two things were obvious to me.
1) There had not been nearly enough time to identify the elements of the disease to be targeted. There not been enough time for the development/testing of an effective vaccine.
2) The palpable levels of personal fear that provided immediate obedience to all of the restrictions sort of set my hair on end. Personal fear (from individuals and groups) combined with ready regulations (telling everyone what they must do) was unlike anything I had ever seen.
Both of those were conscious thoughts to me. My perspective on either/both of them never changed one bit, and what information has become available since then has confirmed the accuracy of my instincts at the time.
Another element that has been developing over time is the increasing discomfort of “professionals” (think medical staffs) confirms that many of them are much less inclined keep pretending it all makes sense. Staff members at my dentist’s office and oncology offices are more and more plainspoken about their inside perspective: they don’t appreciate being manipulated and used.
It has been very comfortable that I wasn’t shot. With the very heavy chemo I underwent 6 years ago, my immune system is not what it used to be, so I’ve limited my exposure in practical ways. I realized I might get covid and might die with covid…no more of a risk in my perspective than the risk I face of dying from seasonal flu or in a car accident. I came to terms a long time ago with the fact that I’m not getting out of here alive. No one is to use that fact to try to make me do something I don’t want to do.
None of my immediate family got shot. One family member quit a job they had trained at considerable expense because, suddenly, everybody had to get shot. She quit and walked.
Haven’t had fractured (outward stuff) relationships. I have paid attention to individuals’ levels of fear and panic and make judgments accordingly. It’s hard carry on friendly conversation or relationship with anyone who is fearful all the time. I try to stay clear of those who are exceedingly fearful, regardless of whether or not they’ve been shot.
I’ve been vaccine hesitant for about 20 years. I became skeptical when my parents would get the flu shot every year and then get deathly ill afterwards. Then the same thing happened to one of my children. He reacted as though he had been poisoned. I sat down and researched and since then, have stayed away from them.
Both my husband and one of my daughters’ jobs required them to get the covid vaccine and both refused and got away with the refusing although my daughter was harassed. She had covid previously and initially they told her to get an antibody test, which she did and it proved she HAD the antibodies, but then Biden mandated govt workers get them and they told her she had to get it. She told them to fire her when they threatened her, but they never did. Upper management provided a very hostile work environment for her….sending out emails listing the holdouts to the vaccine, being called an “idiot” on a zoom meeting by coworkers, etc. She still never got it. She eventually left that job when she got a better offer somewhere else.
All my relatives up north are highly vaccinated. My mom has had 5 or so of these vaccines. Same with my husband’s family up north–all highly vaccinated. But my little family has remained unvaxxed and fine. I just had covid over the holidays and it was a mild case. Same with my husband and he travels all the time. It took him 3 years to get it!
I believe in working out and eating right and taking care of my body so my body can take care of me. I don’t need injections to get better. Also, when I learned I had covid the doctor told me it was a virus and they don’t give antibiotics for it, just let it run through your system. Weird how they were demanding the entire population get a vaccine for something that runs naturally through your system.
Freedom…anything that was forced on me can’t be a good thing.
I was healthy and in my early 60s in 2020. One of my brothers is an M.D. and told me that the vaccine was way too new to be anything other than experimental. Not proven at all. He also told me that hydroxychloroquine is safe, from his experience with it, and likely to be effective against Covid. I got a prescription for HCQ via telemedicine and had it filled and mailed by an out of state pharmacy. When I did catch Covid in late 2020, I had the right meds on hand and recovered quickly. I was lucky enough not to face a vax mandate at my part-time job (where most of our two dozen employees got the vax and two ended up with serious heart conditions). I haven’t traveled for three years now to avoid the travel-related mandates.
I was sort of monitoring data, not scrutinizing it, but reading anything I could from people watching. The thing I noticed was that in my state, each wave seemed to catch about 10% of the population. And none of risk analysis I saw included this factor. It was always your IFR (except when intentionally confused with CFR). But never risk of death = probability of getting x IFR. And of course the IFR was ridiculously exaggerated by ignoring extreme age stratification.
I don’t know why I didn’t get it. Probably because it was pushed on us so relentlessly and I don’t trust the media, the government, or doctors as it is, and I just felt like something was off. My work at the time kind of pressured me to get it, but didn’t force it thankfully. I was forced to mask though and I hated every minute of it.
Very early on, I stumbled upon an interview (I wasn’t looking for any information) with Dr Tenpenny, a devout Christian.
She outlined very clearly what could be expected from them, and why. She also stated the timeline for potential devastating adverse reactions…and named all the ones we are now seeing, matching her putative timeline, which has turned out to be accurate.
That was enough for me. And that’s when I started to go to work on my children. I continued to research, and I sent them everything I found.
Thankfully they all listened.
…the dead giveaway was my discovering that Big Pharma was protected from any liability…and this…
Senses should have been triggered when a eugenecist who advocates for depopulation pushes a shot “for the health ” of those who take it.
One final point…once I discovered that human embryonic kidney cells were being used in producing these poisons (HEK293) and discovered that a baby would have to be born alive in order to retrieve them…and that 293 meant 292 bless-ed babies were killed for their cells before 293…I swore before God I would never take such a terrible thing.
Never considered taking it.
I don’t even have a doctor.
I have never even taken a flue shot.
I wouldn’t seriously consider
a concoction that eugenists are trying to force on the world.
Reminded me of the “mark”…in Revelations…
Over my lifetime when thinking about the mark of the beast I would think surely people will not let themselves be marked. How would this mark of the beast be accomplished.. now I know.
See how easily it will be ?
Also notice, how fast people will turn on you as the ‘other’s and feel righteous and justified in doing so
After experiencing permanent, though thankfully manageable, adverse effects from a fluoroquinolone antibiotic more than a decade ago, I go with my gut instincts when it comes to any medical intervention.
Being a basically healthy, active senior, I trust my immune system and early on in 2020 I came across practicing physicians, including Dr Marik, who were recommending zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C, HCQ, and later Quercetin which acts as a zinc ionophore, as a non Rx sub for HCQ.
Armed with this info, and a backup Rx for Ivermectin which I have not needed, I felt confident that I could manage covid if necessary.
Nothing about the development and release of the genetic products followed normal scientific process, and the more the talking heads repeated “safe and effective” the more my spidey sense became alarmed.
Forever grateful I trusted my instincts, and easily managed a few days of omicron 6 months ago.
I have never and never will get the djab for several reasons starting with the completely illogical shutdowns and mask mandates. I knew immediately it was bs. I simply thought logically.. For instance, in any store you were to practice social distancing and wear a mask but multiple people touching all store items didnt spread covid to everyone in that store???? As for mask mandates- Come on! Why would anyone agree to cover the 2 parts of your body responsible for keeping you alive??? Oxygen depravation?? Another logical reason- for thousands of years humans have overcome illness and gained natural immunities so no reason for a shot.
Thinking people are fully aware how a real vaccine works and the shot was and is not a vaccine. Add all of those logical reasons together should be enough but my main reason.. I will change that to ONLY reason is because the commie fools tried to mandate it. I am and always will be a Free American and no government will ever force me to put Anything in my body.
One influential e-book I read was written by Dr. Steven C. Quay. It came out in Aug 2020.
I had met Dr. Quay twenty years ago and I knew he worked with mRNA. For $2.99 I bought his ebook Stay Safe and it sealed my belief that the vaccine was not the answer.
Hi Sundance,
Thx for all you do. God bless you and your posse.
I didn’t take the Covid vaccine simply because of the EUA. As a businessman I am required by my personal ethics as well as by contract to stand behind my product as well as my word. I expect others to do so.
Got very sick at one point. On the couch for five days and “not quite right” for over a month. Never did get tested.
I experienced little pushback. I was denied admission to a Herbie Hancock concert. I managed to find a loophole and attended anyway. I was compelled to take a test in Mexico to get back to the States. Silly.
I went out of my way to tell everyone that I was not vaccinated so that they could determine their course of action in regards to their relationship with me. No one seemed to care much with the exception of one old friend who is a bit of a hypochondriac.
With each passing day, I feel vindicated in my decision. I pray for those who understandably made the other choice.
1: I’m morally opposed to how the vax were created
2:recognized the phsycological manipulation on an terrifyingly unfathomable scale. Knew there was censorship and sensed evil in the mechanations.
3:heard early on of concerns regarding mRna that werent being addressed in any manner by “authorities”.
4:was already aware of the absence of liability/accountability for vax injuries.
5:i won’t be bullied. Everything about the vax was bullying.
6:was never afraid of the symptoms of covid. And saw more unrepented harm inflicted on my family and life in the heavy handed multitude covid policies. So i was already livid with the *health community*
7:lost of trust in any experts after so many years of gaslighting in anything political.
wow. in a nutshell.
At what point do we get to call our government and media terrorists? Nothing but socual terrorist for 3 years now.
I was having bad dreams about spike proteins about a month before the shots were released. I assumed that was a warning from God to stay away from them. Plus, generally nothing good comes from things developed too fast and pushed too hard.
I got the first 2 on good faith & I knew my job would have pressured me. I’m in NY and the hysteria was massive. The number of times I had arguments with people in the supermarket Bc I wasn’t following the arrows was insane. When they wouldn’t drop the mask insanity after you were vaxed I realized it was a scam.
By the summer I wished I never had gotten it. Never did or will get any boosters.
Most in my family got the initial 2. There was a falling out between a couple of family members that lasted more than a year. Absolutely ridiculous.
No toxic experimental shots here.
Watched the discussion in January, and got over my annual January cold the middle of Feb. It cleard up—-NW WA St–last two weeks of FEB, went out and worked in the yard,,,,Read and listened to everything on Covid….including the three Drs. in Australia who were using HCQ, and IVM,,,,one was the Dr. in the late 70’s that said Ulcers were caused by a virus, and he Hooted WorldWide,,,then inlate 80’s they all agreed with him.
So, 2nd week in Mar–2020 I had a relapse in may cold from January. But 3 1/2 weeks later I knew it was not a cold. I obviously survived, in spite of being 77, with Congestive heart failure, and A-Fib. I was on Statins for CHD, and My usual megadoses of C for what I thought was a cold.
After that I did not need any shots,,,,especially the mrna experiment.
Have had only one short cold since then, as I have gotten in supplements. Also, Statins? I just said NO!
I had covid 1/2020. I saw no reason to doubt my GOD given immune system. I had it, I got over it. I did a lot of research and came to the conclusion (by March 2020) that covid was a virus inserted into another virus, in this case, the rhino virous commonly called influenze. If you have EVER had real influenza, your immune system will recognize the influenza part of the covid virus, and will fight covid off.
I also remember that Anthony Fauci was the one who discovered HIV back in the 1980’s, and developed a drug that killed a lot of people, Remdisivir. Lookie Here! the same drug that physicians were ordered to use to treat covid-19. (I still wonder where HIV came from. A lab maybe? Fauci’s lab?)
You’d think that someone at the FDA would have stopped this drug, like the head of the bioethics department at the FDA. One Christine Grady. Oh, did I mention that this Ms. Grady is also known as Mrs. Anthony Fauci? Did you know she once worked for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?
About the time it started I researched how many people died per month in Manhattan. Low and behold the same amount of people were dying. That information is probably skewed or hidden by now. Made me suspicious and the fact that it was experimental vaccine. Living in NY I knew people who had dealt with Andrew Cuomo and I knew he couldn’t be trusted. The entire scenario SCREAMED Con job or jab might be more apapro.
Why?
Sundance, here is my story. Thanks, for asking.
I was leery of the vaccine at first, but let’s go to the beginning.
I am a DATA person so when the Sars-Covid2 data started rolling in I went to the CDC site and downloaded the data into excel, where I could format it into legible information, i.e. graphs.
What I saw was a massive die-off of the elderly, mostly those 80+, the ones who already beat the age average by 8 or so years. Coupled with the NorthEastern US penchant to put covid positive people in nursing homes, my suspicions grew as it looked to be a setup! (need bigger numbers!) Oh, and no one was pointing out that the VAST proportion of deaths was in the 80+ range.
The “journalists” were NOT reporting the CDC data and that did not surprise me, as most are agenda driven not science/facts driven.
Then, the death Gnome showed up, Fauci. I was in BioTech in the late 80, coincidentally working on HTLV-3, the virus that was killing people. The Death Gnome said, ‘No, it’s a “Syndrome”, called AIDS” and pushed Pharma drug cocktails on the gay community. No vaccines against HTLV-3.
Then the VID vaccine came out and the push for everyone to get it was insane. They changed the definition of the word vaccine AND refused to acknowledge (God-given) immunity if you survived your bout with covid.
Finally, it became a Circus with all of the celebrities and politicians whooping it up with GET VACCINATED OR YOU WILL DIE & KILL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
So, today, as a stroke survivor(8 yrs ago), with multiple comorbidities, I ask myself, “Why the hell would ANYONE under the age of 80 get the vaccine?”
PS: I have had Covid and survived it! No one in my family of 4 got the Jab!
My research said no way is this any kind of vacine. Peer pressure was enormous from “friends”. We are not friends anymore. I’ve never had much faith in our government, and because of the pressure from the medical establishment I formerly trusted, that trust is gone, most likely forever.
I believe I’ve been proven to make the correct decision
I work for myself. So I had no external pressure there. I also ceased travel to places that required the vaccine. I was fortunate to read up on gene editing and CRISPR a few years before the pandemic. All the experts then said MRNA science was in its infant stages and would probably be ready for the general population in about a decade. Needless to say, I was highly suspicious when 3 years later scientists were demanding that we all take MRNA medication. I took a wait and see attitude. All my suspicions were slowly confirmed.
Was actually on 2 separate one shot and done J & J lists. They never called me for the shot. Thank God; by that time my BS detector was pegged off the chart.
I worked for a community college in Los Angeles. I watched all the “lock down” garbage being negotiated by our union. That’s what got me to not trust the narrative. I was also influenced by commenters on CTH to question what we were being fed.
I eventually quit my job last February when I was expected to start vetting high school students for shot. I couldn’t do it. I also never got my now middle-school age daughter vexed. When we were driving back from sister’s for Christmas my daughter started crying thinking of the year before when she had to stay outside for her friends Christmas party because she wasn’t vaxed. She lost contact with all her friends from school because I started homeschooling her. Her life was far more tragically affected than mine.
I knew that COVID was not a particularly dangerous illness.
I knew you could not make a safe vaccine in that amount of time.
I knew the history of vaccines in general and coronavirus vaccines in particular was not good or safe.
I knew that MRNA ‘vaccines’ were a very bad idea.
I knew that focusing on the spike would lead to adverse immune system outcomes at the very least.
I do not participate in cannibal medicine i.e., pharmaceuticals developed using fetal cells, tissue or the horrific humanized mice.
And most importantly it was obvious something is very wrong with the jab because they haven’t managed to get measles vaccines or even pedialite to dying people in sub-Saharan Africa but by golly they wanted this jab inall 8 billion of us no matter the cost and by any means necessary.
I didn’t get the vax either, for many of the reasons which have already been cited by others. The constant propaganda and banned discussions of other alternative treatments were the final straw for me and my hubby. Since we are both retired, we couldn’t be forced to get it. And we are so glad that we didn’t!!
I did not take it because I trust nothing about this zionist controlled government and believe they want our people erased. The same people invented birth control, feminism, communism, lgb/trans movement. I will never follow these maniacs in any way.
even though i’m white and a man, i’m not as dumb as i look.
The “powers that be” told us the survival rate of the virus was 99+%, but they kept pushing the vaccine down our throats like it was the “holy grail” of medical miracles. That just didn’t make sense to me. It was rushed and there was little available information concerning it. The msm (which I don’t trust) kept chastising us for calling it “Kung flu” and saying we were racist for giving it that name and kept claiming it originated “organically.” Their hysteria, combined with my feelings the election was stolen, along with the extreme push for the vaccine made me skeptical. Then I got Covid. I have congestive heart failure, diabetes, am over 70 and survived. Spent several days at home in bed and ended up 5 days in the hospital BUT survived. Then the “powers that be” started telling people that natural immunity did not work. I had never heard such BS! I was glad at that time I had not taken the shot. Have never had a second round of covid. Worked as a TA in a high school, used hand sanitizer sparingly, didn’t practice safe distancing and just went about my normal routine. I guess I’m just a walking miracle. Life experiences, distrust of msm and “powers that be”, plus a healthy dose of critical thinking skills saved me.
My girlfriend and I both caught COVID very early on (February 2020). She lost her sense of smell and taste and I would wake up gasping for air, with coughing fits. So we knew it was COVID. Afterwards, we surmised we had natural immunity. Neither one of us have been sick since, except my gf had a mild cold last year, which lasted a few days, which was typical sniffles and sneezing with head congestion, no fever.
We knew there was something “wrong” with the fast rollout, lack of clinical trials, Dr. Fauci, the campaign to get vaccinated, etc. So neither of us is vaccinated nor boosted and we did not have the type of employment that mandated we do so.
I deduced early on that the jab was Gene Therapy ( I am very happy with my genes, thank you.) and never believed one word of propaganda from any corrupt DemocRAT public officials.
When it first came out, I caught Bret Weinstein’s interview with Dr. Kory and Dr. Malone. I began a campaign of “passive non-compliance.
“Hey Unclean, when are you gonna get your shot?”
“I made an appointment for tomorrow.”
“Oops, I missed that one. I’ve rescheduled for Monday.”
Etc., etc., etc.
Meanwhile, Robert Barnes was offering good resources to keep the DoD bureaucracy off of me via a claim of “religious exemption”. Once I found out that fetal tissue was involved in the production of this vaccine, I refused. Filed my claim, and have never heard back from HR since then. That was November of 2021, I believe.
Never looked back.
By fall of 2020, the whole COVID propaganda that the Task Force, Fauci, and the CDC were emitting had a very “Deep State” feel. I read articles warning people of the COVID mRNA vaccine. It was designed to have these lipid nano-particles and was intended to “monkey around” with our very DNA and RNA.
But Mike Adams, the “Health Ranger” convinced me that the mRNA shot was probably a bioweapon. In one of his podcasts, he stated that anyone taking the mRNA vaccine would die within five years. And then, he went on to explain why. That was in December 2020. At that point, there was no way I would take the mRNA injection.
I knew a vaccine targeting the entry protein alone will mutate and become infectious again. Looking at the “data” at the time, anyone under 60 really had nothing to fear. I wanted to be able to develop antibodies to more than the spike protein. Also the initial study was terribly flawed. I used to be an anesthesiologist
