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.
Factors: Dr. Fauci has a long history of failure regarding vaccine research. mRNA vaccine research never produced a successful product and the attempts were started years prior to Covid. Many of the studies ended in disaster as in all of the subject animals dying due to antibody dependent enhancement.
Although many of the qualified professionals warning about the vax were censored, it was still possible to find them with a little work. Doctor Ryan Cole was one of them and he has suffered greatly because he tells the truth. Doctor Simone Gold is another. She was actually jailed for telling the truth. These were the people I trusted.
Also because of the great work by Sundance, a much smarter man than me, and a few others I already had a healthy distrust of government and most things it is involved with. My family decided early on we would not take the vax. Unfortunately some extended family did so. I pray for them and all of the others who were trusting of those who were not worthy of trust.
Nobel Prize Winning Virologist Doctor Luc Montagnier: “For those of you who have taken the boosters. Go get a test for AIDS. The results may surprise you.”
It immediately raised my suspicions when my husband contracted shingles within weeks of his booster shot.
So sad that so many of my family and friends took these shots. They keep getting sick now.. one flu after the other. And some are VERY sick with cancers and heart issues. VAIDS?
Praying for you and yours Judith.
Thank you so much George.
I did a ton of research and said HELL NO !! I would never take the tests either (they are designed to show false positive)s. I have learned that the vast majority of people are too lazy and ignorant to ask questions, do research. They are suffering the consequences. To this day I still see these people out and about wearing masks. Those masks have no benefit what so ever. As a matter of fact they have graphene oxide in them and people are inhaling the fibers which collect in their lungs. Imagine how much better off we would all be if everyone had said HELL NO !!!!
I have wondered if the nose swab test might be used to infect someone with covid?
A contaminated swab stuck up the nose?
Not sure if the nose swab test infects. To be sure though, being injected with the Bioweapon and being tested does put one into a trackable data base.
Apart from that EVERYONE IS ON A ” LIST “
Rush commented often that a large part of his initial success was giving people the opportunity to realize they were not alone. Your question (and the resultant answers) offers this same comfort to many of us that did not take the shot. We didn’t take the shot for all the reasons listed, our bewilderment has been that so many of our countrymen did. I can perhaps add only one thing that I have noticed of the recent generations (we are 66), and that is they display in all matters personal and social a lazy arrogance untethered from research, respect and thoughtful concern for our country as a whole. This “comfortable ignorance” is sadly going to get a lot of people killed.
Trump always challenges the fake media to pan the crowd at his rallies to show us we are not alone.
The decision not to get the vaccination was based on straightforward risk-return analysis that weighed the probability of a negative outcome (e.g., death or severe sickness) from the Wuhan Flu versus the probability of a negative outcome from the experimental gene therapy (i.e., the vaccine). As a healthy person, my probability of a negative outcome from the Wuhan Flu was less than 0.05%; while my probability from a negative outcome resulting from the experimental injection was at least the same if not higher. Over time, as data has accumulated, the probability of a negative outcome from the experimental injection was risen to approximately 4%.
The only time to take a vaccine is when the recipient knows that the probability of a negative outcome from the sickness being vaccinated against is materially higher (i.e. 3 to 5 times, at least, higher) than the probability of a negative outcome from the vaccine. On this simple risk analysis, almost nobody should be taking the experimental injection. And, by the way, any doctor worth his salt should be performing this risk-return analysis for all his patients.
This entire episode has been confirmation of most people’s inability to assess and manage real-life risk when it matters most. A very sad state, but it underlines the tremendous opportunity that a thinking man possesses: he can run circles around the mouth-breathing crowd. Most men and women are sheep to be sheared; and they always will be. The crowd is incapable of independent thought and immune to basic life-saving reason. This will never change. It’s been a great lesson.
It is easier to panic than to think.
I learned 25 years ago that vaccines as well as the medical establishment could not be trusted through my own experience.
Being self-informed is very important. This led to my being non-injected.
I refused the vaccine categorically and my reasoning was thus : 1) I would not subject myself to the harms and danger of this product in exchange for personal liberty (who cares about going to a restaurant if you’re damaged for life ?) ; 2) the unusual demand to vaccinate the entire world was unreasonable and revealed the financial interests driving this ; but above all 3) «If I can’t resist this injection, how could I ever expect to resist the mark of the beast ?»
Having studied genetics when young I was quite wary from the start. I began reading at nih.gov. I came to a recent study where ALL the animals died or were seriously damaged in the tests of these mRNA ‹vaccines›.
Via internet a conference of specialists (GB, Germany, USA) explained the EU prohibition of these products because of their proven lack of safety. The EU law had to be reversed in order to transport these products throughout Europe.
It was obvious that to enable emergency use of the mRNA products no other treatment could be available. Notwithstanding, research showed the effectiveness of HCQ and Ivermectin. This was turning out to be a globalist boondoggle. Just the mention of the eugenicist Bill Gates was a giant red flag.
I have a medical condition that requires treatment at the hospital. Enormous pressure was put on me constantly to get the vaccine and I was looked down upon because (supposedly) «I put the medical personnel in jeopardy». I gave documentation to the head doctor who thereafter ignored me !
My resolve has been strengthened but the tragedy of so many people being harmed or dying makes me very sad. People refused to believe any information that was contrary to the televised news. It was frustrating to know that this experimental treatment was not effective but mandated on so many who didn’t know how to defend themselves.
“Being self-informed is very important. This led to my being non-injected.”
This could well be one of the best single line summations of many/most of the CTH postings.
I am a veteran so I got every shot there was and had to get a flu shot every year and, like everyone I knew, got sick with the flu every year. Way back in 2002 I got a flu shot and got the flu twice that year so it occurred too me why get the shot if I was going to get the flu anyway? I never got a flu shot again and have gotten the flu only twice since then but mild cases not the real bad cases I used to get. I rarely get sick, just an occasional cold or sinus infection while the rest of my family all get flu shots and the flu every year along with frequent colds. I decided that for me, no flu shot works so if I don’t get a flu shot I surely wasn’t going to get a COVID shot, I never even considered getting it. I believe all the so called vaccines damage our natural immune system leaving it unable to actually protect us.
The pharmaceutical companies don’t really care about keeping people healthy they just care about treating the ailments their products cause. No cures, just expensive treatment cycles that never end.
For me, I did not trust the fact that the vaccine quickly turned into a forced issue. I did not trust the fact that all other answers to the problem were being ignored. I am still young, and rarely get sick, even with the cold. Lastly, I know enough about biology to recognize that my body is designed to fight off pathogens without outside help.
As the government and society at large became more insistant, I became more suspicious. I will admit, when I finally got COVID, it was the sickest I have ever been, but I got through it and have not had it again since.
When the China Virus first reared its ugly head I was concerned for the first 2-3 weeks. It took a while to figure out what was going on. I had never in my lifetime seen a “vaccine” forced on people in this way. I started to research and all the lies were revealed; it is not a vaccine, it did not qualify for FDA emergency approval because there were other treatments available, it does alter DNA, it passes through the blood brain barrier, on and on and on. I watched the White Coat Summit. I saw anyone who did not agree with the fear mongering narrative attacked. I begged my family not to get it.
Thank God for the doctors and scientists who had the courage to share the truth. I remember thinking why are people reacting with such horror when for most people this was not as bad as a flu? More children die from the flu than were affected by the Wuhan. Why would libs, who protest food that is genetically modified, put something in their body that alters their DNA?
Then I got the Wuhan in 2022. It was bad, but not as bad as the flu I had in 1999. The strange thing about the Wuhan was that it felt different, odd. Something I had never felt with a sickness before and it struck me. I am not fighting off a virus. I am fighting off a bio weapon. And that scared me. I took the protocol and got better but strange symptoms lingered for a month or more.
No-vax rationale already posted; great idea Sundance. Thought I’d relate something that pre-dated that. Literally a few days before Christmas 2019 – before Covid was being announced and diagnosed – my wife & I both came down with what was diagnosed as pneumonia that put our 68-yo butts in the ER. Our primary care Doc at the time, after later reviewing records, believes we had Covid that was undiagnosed at the time. No one was testing for it, so they just treated the symptoms. A pneumonia is also not an uncommon condition that Covid creates.
At any rate, having the benefit of watching the initial murders of elderly in care facilities AND the clear improper treatment using vents that did more harm than good (including fatal), how lucky do you think we feel that we were fortunately NOT diagnosed with it? For those weeks prior, we were just 2 more cases of seniors with a treatable pneumonia. Yes, damned lucky.
Fast-forward 2 years and I came downstairs one morning and my wife had been frying bacon – some of the good stuff we got from a local harvest. I should’ve smelled it upstairs. I couldn’t smell it, nor the peanut butter I used as another test. Turns out I apparently had “Omicron” and that was literally the ONLY symptom. (I felt fine, except that not smelling bacon should be a felony, right?) After test confirmed it, the little Mayo branch clinic called to offer monoclonal antibodies – the treatment at the time that Biden was diverting away from his Florida nemesis, and no pressure for anything else. We’d already told Doc that, based on much info from other sources, he was never to even utter “Remdesivir” or he’d be cancelled, lol. By this time the jig was up and all the external information – from people like those here – was available to those who would look. Information power – drives tyrants abolutely batshitcrazy.
Y’ll be good.
Yep, during that November/December 2019, time-frame, nearly everyone in my workplace (a solid waste transfer facility) got the “Creeping Crud.”
My family (two daughters and five Gr kids), got together for Christmas 2020. On Dec 31 I noticed a loss of taste and smell, my spouse only felt a loss of energy. Testing confirmed I had Covid, so I went to the farm store and bought Ivermectin paste and dosed for 5 days (used it on animals, knew it was safe. Jokingly, I said I developed a craving for apples and oats!). Never had the flu in my life (over 70 now). My sense of taste came back slowly, but by six months only about 66%. So I took another 5 day course of ivermectin (Long Covid protocol, and taste jumped to 95% immediately! (wish I did it sooner).
One daughter and Gr kids – got nothing (to this day). The other husband and wife took the Jab as soon as they could, a week or so later – both immediately came down with Covid about three days after the shot! (kids were OK). Since then, they got the second shot and the booster – both times came down with Covid (Husband pretty bad every time (late 30’s)).
I had cautioned them against the shot, as I had invested over the years in Biotech, and had a few companies doing mRNI clinicals – over a decade they never got a drug approved, same problem heart and blood issues! (dumped those stocks mid 2015, lost a bundle). They didn’t listen, got mad if I even tried to discus all the new research I was finding too. Later even gave their two kids a shot. Now they are done with it anymore. They won’t discuss it even today – but their actions forgoing anymore shots speaks for itself.
Of my brothers/sister and nieces and nephews, 90% did not take the shot, but a couple were forced to for work.
I pray that all that took the shots don’t develop the issues we have been seeing. I pray likewise for all others around the world that were deceived by this evil.
Endtime note:” He will send them a strong delusion, so that they believe the lie.” Food for thought!
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with using Ivermectin for loss of taste and smell. I have partial, spotty return of taste and smell so I will try adding back Ivermectin.
After reading you story, I jumped onto a search engine and up pops some studies saying Ivermectine promotes peripheral nerve regeneration –I know that what seems to help peripheral nerves may also help olofactory nerve regeneration (from prior personal research). So I have some pony paste on the cupboard and will see how it goes.
My own sudden onset loss of smell/taste pre-dated Covid (this problem can be caused by any upper respiratory or by head injury, not just Covid). I found generally most doctors offer no advice or help to those with sudden loss of taste/smell.
To pay it forward (your gift re Ivermectin) –want to share one other resource for others w this issue. A number of studies show significant improvement for many thru “smell training,”—easy to do a search and find info on the studies and how to do smell training at home.
Thanks to your story I’m now going to add back Ivermectin. Hope springs eternal 🙂
When very powerful people speak with love of depopulation, then offer a vaccination, after saying population control through vaccine, just say no.
No kidding ! Bill Gates’ father was a Eugenicist and he is as well. He’s always touted population control through vaccines. There is nothing humanitarian about what Bill Gates does. It is all about $$$. He ‘gives’ to his foundation and then pays his expenses out of it. Always investing in vaccine patents that make him money. He is an evil man who laughs at the gullible. But the Lord laughs at him for “He sees his day coming.”
My question would be, “why would I”?
Med report by Didier Raoult on HCQ effectivity was disregarded.
Reports on HCQ effectivity by Zev Zelenko were disregarded.
Initial report on IVM effectivity (from Australia was disregarded.
Tht’s all it took.
thank you to all for standing strong in your beliefs and not giving in to the tyranny!!
My husband and I have never received flu or pneumonia shots. I believe that God has provided us with the natural immunity required to fight off most diseases. When news of this virus started to be discussed publicly, I did not think much of it. Then President Trump banned flights from China at which time the usual suspects said No, come to Chinatown, everything is fine. Then Fauci (who I believe should be tried at the Hague for crimes against Humanity) stated masks were not necessary and not to worry. Before long, we have panic, pandemic, masks, shut down of the entire country, criticism of the President as though this was his fault. After what happened with Russia, Russia,Russia, I thought why should I believe anyone in this government. Also, the crescendo of criticism against the president made me stop and think that this was occurring and probably a plot to take down this President, since all else had failed. My husband and I refused to take the Modified RNA shot. I believe that all of the vaccinations forced on children and the flu, pneumonia shots forced on seniors to be the cause of autism and alzheimers. The Covid shots, in my opinion, are an experiment to see just how gullible many Americans have become, unable to use any critical thinking skills. When I was told by neighbors that I might die because I did not get the shot my reply was this: I am 72, I have already be given an incredible life by the Grace of God and I know where I am going when I die. My death has been ordained by God and nothing, not even this virus, which I have had twice, can change or alter the date. So, I will continue to rely on my Saviour and not anything that this corrupt government has to offer. My husband, who has been with his company 41 years, refused the shot and said he would retire before anyone would try to force the poison shot on him. Again, I believe with all my heart that this was a coup devised by the Chinese and the Democrat party to take down this president. We are living in a strange time but Fear is a Liar and he has no hold over those of us who put our faith in Jesus.
Yes!
“All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” Ps 139:16
The injection is just like the global warming story: if government and big institutions say they want to help solve a Human problem, you know they are lying. We live in upside down land. All leaders are the worst leaders, the official truth is a lie and actual truth is mocked as a lie.
Humans are just poorly made. Every Human is vulnerable to parasites, hypnotism and petty greed. We are a sorry lot, but that is the nature of living in polarity. Humans’ imagination and creativity are amazing. So, naturally, our curses are always equal to our blessings. The most blessed are the most cursed, and the least cursed are the least blessed.
Alex Berenson used to be very pro-vaccine.
Here is what changed his mind about this shot:
At the beginning of the vaxx rollout, I did not get the jab. The fact that it was an experimental, first time MNRA treatment to be used on people did not set well. With no long term studies to boot.
And then the reports of the injuries started. The hospitalizations, the enormous medical cost to the injured, the suffering of the individual with little hope of relief in sight.
What clenched it for me is when an acquaintance who took the jab could not walk the next morning. Her daughter took her to the emergency room. The doctors told her there was nothing they could do for her. It was the vaxx they replied, and they had no idea how to treat it. The fear and dispair that hit her lasted into the following day, still not able to walk. Fortunately on the third day feeling came back to her legs and she could walk again. She wisely swore off any more shots.
Sundance,
I am wondering, if/when this thread dies down, if you could post a follow on survey of people who lost loved ones or have experienced vaccine injury. I think Steve Kirsch has done many surveys. Everyone I know has lost a loved one, unexpectedly.
Or alternatively, you are already garnering the data from people’s reports here.
Thank you.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. Your work is outstanding.
I’d like to second this outstanding idea.
Also, I want to take the opportunity to thank Sundance for posting this topic. I’m struggling with a kind of PTSD related to these events, and I’ve read every page on this thread. It’s very cathartic to have this window into the thoughts of all of these likeminded folks!
My husband is in the veterinary field. We have not taken any of the suggested vaccinations for people over 50, and had gone 40+ years with no flu shot until we had grand babies born during flu season – we didn’t want to, but the parents would let no one unvaccinated around the baby.
So when Covid came, we took precautions, in our life and at his office, but he quickly saw that masks and “6 ft” we’re not having an effect in discouraging transmission. When the vaccines came out, he was especially concerned in the process of producing a vaccine that quickly, with little or no human testing. I was listening to ‘alternative news outlets’ and was very suspicious at the timing of the Plandemic and the theories behind the vaccine, Bill Gates, and the potential for planned population control. We have had to cancel vacations (cruises and European travel) because of our not vaccinated status – but will never be a sheeple.
I’m going to go out on a limb here, I did not read every post but watching the total rise, there are more unvaxxed people than I thought.
I use my family of 6, and we are 50/50. At work, my small team of 3 is 2 vaxxed (multiple boosters) and 1 not at all.
I suspect it is tough to make an accurate count because I have no doubt there are people who are unvaxxed but say they are to work and to travel.
We know what is going on., we also hope and pray that the serious health issues/death associated with the vax do not hit the ones we love but all we can do is watch and wait and prepare.
What is shocking is people still going for boosters.
My OWN DOCTOR told me “It’s not a vaccine, it’s not safe, and it’s not effective”. He solemnly told me to go catch it and he would pull me through. (He’d done it himself, before Ohio banned Ivermectin.) Try as I might, I never did. Still a Control Natural to this day.
That ia a true medical professional!!!
I wish ours would have said that… we 3 are rather skeptical of him now since his insistence and persistence. Then, after the first 9 months… *poof* just like that he didn’t mention it again.
Looked at the published ingredients and biology. Simply stated, it looked–on its surface– like an experiment in in vivo eukaryotic transfection. Pfizer and the NIH were too lazy–and criminal–to follow ethical guidelines and they wanted profit to boot. Total clown show.
Looks even worse now. It looks like fraud and premeditated evil. It looks like an anti-population bioweapon.
I did not get the shots. I did not believe the “experts” were telling the truth, and the shots seemed dangerous. The more the powers that be clamped down on the narrative, the more convinced we became that they were lying for reasons not apparent. There was something in those shots they wanted to get into people. The shots were harmful to many. They did not prevent catching Covid. They did not reduce the spread. Every nation, every agency around the world saying the same thing—in a matter of days? Super sus.
My employer applied both positive pressure in the form of gift cards, and drawings for iPad, and negative pressure in the form of required mask-wearing and very public conversations about how the “unvaxxed didn’t even deserve medical care”.
I was prepared to be fired rather than accept the shots.
Using links and information, I did my best to educate and inform friends and family members. My spouse didn’t get it–despite pressure from employer and M.S. medical team. I harangued my parents enough that they didn’t get it–even though they had scheduled the appointment. Mother-in-law, sisters, a brother, sister-in-law, and nephew also didn’t get it. I presented information to our sons, and thankfully they are also unjabbed. Our youngest son worked for a federal contractor and I helped him write responses/refusals as he fought that mandate . (I used a lot of resources from Liberty Counsel and Jeff Childers/Coffee & Covid).
Many friends and family members did get them, and fought with me like wildcats about it. I’ve greatly reduced my friend group on that basis. If someone was willing to say I didn’t deserve for instance–emergency room services–bc I didn’t accept the jabs–or that I deserved to be arrested or fired for not having them—I know that person would turn me in like any old member of the Stasi.
My employer claimed a 96% reported vax rate. There have been several stroke victims in my
division since that time, and some so disabled they are no longer able to work full-time.
I was a science major. I was taught that it takes 10-15 years to properly develop a vaccine due to the lengthy animal, then human trials. No way could an effective one be rolled out in 9 months! Plus, you never introduce a vaccine in the middle of a pandemic. Why? Because viruses, by their very nature mutate. This is how they survive. So by introducing a vaccine in the middle of a pandemic, it encourages mutation. Both of these lessons have been proven correct and validate my decision not to take the vaccine.
To date I have never had Covid. I practice social distancing, good hygiene, keep my immune system up. On the occasions when I do have to be in crowds, I use a spray of Cofixrx, a 1.25% Povidone-Iodine anti-viral solution, one spray up each nostril which lasts 8 hrs. as an additional layer of protection.
Since the virus comes in through the nose, the Povidone-Iodine nasal spray beats out any of the other “social precautions,” aka mandates, for keeping the virus from getting a foothold in your body.
I chose not to be vaccinated because it seemed that the vaccines were developed over about six months. Given that other vaccines took years to be approved, vaccination just didn’t seem like a good idea. The Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) appeared to be a scam. If the government acronyms were really interested in saving us from the virus, why did they come down so hard on Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine? Something didn’t add up.
I was already taking vitamins and doubled down on C, D, and Zinc. I added Quercetin to help with Zinc uptake. Since 2020 I have been exposed to individuals who tested positive, reliably or not, within days of my spending a lot of time with them indoors, including meals and hugging them, and I have not gotten sick. I am 70.
Lastly, everyone in my girlfriend’s family has been vaccinated and many of them have had their boosters. Every single one of them has gotten the virus, some of them more than once. I don’t know anyone who has had a serious side effect of the vaccines though.
I chose not to take the shot described as a “vaccine” for COVID-19. My reasons are that it is an “experimental” vaccine( OPV), which brought me back to the polio epidemic, which occurred when I was a child. (I was born in 1938). The first “vaccine” was a “live” vaccine and caused over 30,000 children to get polio. In the 1950s Jonas Salk was able to test a vaccine (IPV), which worked. I was and gave birth to my 3 children in the late 50s and early 60s. Many women who suffered from “morning sickness) were prescribed thalidomide, which caused babies to be born with deformities. Fortunately, even though I suffered greatly with morning sickness with all 3 of my pregnancies, my physician did not prescribe thalidomide for me. I was not going to have an “experimental” drug injected into my body.
The entire push to get the jab by our corrupt gov’t set off alarm bells. It was over the top and cultish. Hourly and daily when I would watch the news from the very beginning I felt as if I was watching and a participant (unwilling) in a real life version of Hunger Games. It also reminded me of the viral tik-tok challenges. I swear all those tik-tok challenges were conditioning for the Jab Challenge.
Thanks but NO thanks.
Among obvious reasons for not taking the jab is that I do not like to be mandated.
Right on! It was plan as day. We had people telling, demanding, insisting we get jabbed or be exiled from existing while they were excepting theirselves from their very own mandate. GTFO.
“Those of you who said NO — the most-powerful single word in the English language — are already winning. You don’t wake up every morning wondering if tonight you will go to bed and never wake up from a clot you throw in your sleep. You might have been persecuted, fired and ostracized but you have your health and are not wondering if there’s a ticking time bomb in your chest.”
In January 2020 I and the family all came down with what i thought was the flu. I was in physical therapy around that time after shoulder surgery. The talk of the office was the flu that was going around, with schools closing early in the week because everyone seemed to be sick. I had a fever for six days, but came through ok. No doctors except for my daughter. Her pediatrician said that it was not flu, but some other virus.
By mid February I saw plainly that Dr. Fauci was lying about the issue of lab leak versus natural. His adamant insistence on something he could not know, without really knowing, came off obviously false. The political nonsense around HCQ, and the ceaseless attacks on target Trump further eroded the con. What was hard was to accept that health care people were either incompetent, or malicious. None of that seemed possible. I was confused by some YT doctors talking about how lethal the illness was, but this not supported by experience. Then more lies; the PCR test they used was bogus, the obvious scare videos, the furor about anyone advising calm. A real killer was when i read about the monetary incentives to hospitals obviously designed to generate false numbers. Why would anyone, in a life threatening pandemic, deliberately distort the numbers that would be essential to responding to the pandemic? Governor Cuomo’s dog and pony sh-show further confirmed the entire thing was a con. They were obviously not serious.
By the time the death shot came out they had lost all credibility. Censorship and concealment of data is not the actions of people of good faith trying to save lives. I helped to defend several clients being threatened by their employers. I vowed I would not take it even if arrested which seemed more than merely possible. People who are heroes to me: Dr. Michael Yeadon, Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, Dr. Bailey. Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Aaron Kheriarty, Dr. Simone Gold, Dr. Peter McCullough, Joe Rogan. Apologies to any courageous and honest persons not mentioned. Thank you for your humanity.
I’d like to add Steve Kirsh to that list. He’s a millionare that was for the Vax, but as soon as he realized it’s dangers has become number one on the lefts anti-vax hit list. Here is a link to his newsletter, it’s a winner. Jonathan Bing just bet me $50K that I’m wrong about cardiac injury post-vaccine (substack.com)
As a blood bought, spirit filled believer, I am blessed with the gift of discernment. I never gave half a seconds thought to participating. Psalm 91 tells me all I need to know. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.
I have had vaccine doubts since the 80’s when I took a flu shot and within a week had the worst flu of my life. I also was suckered into the 1970’s Swine Flu shot at my place of work.
I was 69 at the time of the outbreak so all the warnings of danger to ‘the elderly’ resonated.
Multiple happenings rang my warning bells but one thing in particular told me we were being scammed. When President Trump had Covid and recovered in just days from theraputics he made a big deal of it publicly. The media even his own covid group immediately denounced him and said he was wrong. At tha moment I knew for sure.
Regarding Covid, the second variant hit me a week befored Chrismas 2022. It was a bit rough but the only danger I came close to was not wanting to eat. Luckily the wife forced me too or I may have had problems.
Lastly, thanks to Sundance for this great Post.
By the time 2020 came I no longer trusted the government and after the lockdown mandates, the mask mandates and vaccine mandates I was now very much against the Federal Government and it’s scores of renegade agencies.
And every other event starting from that point only underscored my belief that the United States Government is an Empire of lies. It has been for its brief period as a child nation a scourge on the
planet.
Everywhere there has been turmoil, confusion and disturbance in the world the United States of America has been in the middle or lurking in the background.
I currently have less than no respect for this country not one drop.
The Constitution we’ve inherited is only good and workable for a people with some measure of honor, integrity and respect for life, family and God. I don’t know what can be said for a nation of people who continue to allow a small group of sub-animals to rule over them?? I suspect they are a lost breed who are confused beyond belief.
Actually, this nation is ripe for judgment and rightly so.
It could just be that this is the judgment: our debauched and blasphemous population and the current wave of murderous eugenicists plotting our misery and deaths.
“God gave them over to a depraved mind . . . ” cf. Romans 1-18-32.
My reasons in the order I remember them:
1- It wasn’t tested for years with multiple blind studies.
2- Most people dying had multiple comorbitities(?)
3 – It was a new type of vaccine that affected RNA(DNA?) Big NOPE! See #1
4- The government started talking about, then actually forcing, people to take it or else.
5- …and the final straw was the mass censorship and public shaming of anyone daring to question the vaccine.
Bonus- The revelation that hospitals were being paid $10,000+ for any Covid cases they had. Seemed ripe for abuse.
Bottom line for us: the risk of taking an untested vaccine/technology seemed greater than the risk presented by the virus. It wasn’t easy to stay glued to that position but as time went on, the absolute police state hysteria and censorship, especially regarding debate on other possible safe treatments, further cemented our stand.
Raised to always think for yourself. Don’t follow the crowd or the latest fad/craze. Have never taken the flu shot, despite the non-stop push for it over the years. Therefore was not going to take the covid shot. Was raised to never accept things at face value always look beyond that and research it. When anything is pushed by the crowd have always stopped back and looked at them asking why is it being accepted by them. Looked at Covid shots being pushed by politicians for non-medical reasons. Will not take covid shots nor whatever the next politically created shot that comes along.
I knew that it takes seven to ten years to test a vaccine for safety and I didn’t think it wise to make an exception in this case. Little truth comes out of Washington so their promotion of this experimental “vaccine” was most likely just another lie. My vitamin D 25 Hydroxy was high enough that I felt adequately protected anyway.
Because it was an IQ test, and if you fell for the “vaccine” BS (and the “Covid-19” BS), you failed the IQ test.
Very simply: Why would Bill Gates, a guy who’s on record saying the earth is overpopulated and the population needs to be reduced, champion a “vaccine” that cures people of a “deadly virus?” Wouldn’t that run counter to his stated goal of population reduction?
This wasn’t a difficult puzzle to solve, folks. And those who have told me, “I didn’t want it but I got it or else I’d lose my job” – well, your job doesn’t matter much when you’re taking the dirt nap, now does it?
Like I said – it was an IQ test, and not a very difficult one.
I’ve never rushed out to get any vaccine, ever. So this was no different. No anti-vax here, more procrastination or ‘finding the time’ or not that interested whether it’s the flu or my sister insisting for about 10 years that I get the shingles vax (that’s how long it took to finally get the double dose).
I recall reading about the Wuhan covid, the cruise ship off Japan and then the first case in Seattle from the ‘citizen’ who returned from visiting family in Wuhan and oh what a BIG deal that was. “It’s here! It’s (finally) here! (hip hip hooray!”) Then NYC, et al, and all the drama with the hospital ship and respirators, etc.
There were neighbors who quarantined their entire family for two weeks to level the curve or whatever they called it (two young rowdy boys, bet that was fun😆) while other kids were out playing since school had been cancelled. Once out of hibernation, what had they gained? Kids started back to school and for 2 or three months, the school would cancel specific classes if one kid came from a family where one person was tested with covid. This would leave the entire class at home (the teacher was exempt from staying home). All the kids in the neighborhood would be outside playing for the two weeks, then reduced to one week, then nuthin’ as the school board, et al, saw how foolish they looked with the children running outside playing and parents getting po’d that they had to continually find sitters or miss work.
By the time the vaxx was in distribution, I had somehow found Dr Zelenko and got my first vial of HCL. I also had somehow found Dr’s Sucharit Bhakdi, Michael Yeadon and Geert Vanden Bossche, all warning well before the vaxx delivery how dangerous it would be to vaxx in the midst of a pandemic; not how dangerous the mRNA jab itself is mind you, because they couldn’t have known at that time, but that never had a vaxx program been encouraged (much less mandated) before herd immunity had developed within the population. This would cause immune pressure on the virus causing mutations or variants to develop which could be much much worse and at the least would prevent your own immune system from ‘training’ to fight the virus. Prescient, no?
So, 1) I owe it to my laziness in not rushing out to get the vaxx 2) Being interested enough to do my own reading and searching and lucky enough to have found so much, eg, have made purchases from India of IVM and HCL and have been taking once a week dose of IVM for a year and a half as per FLCCC for prophylaxis.
I wasn’t smarter than those that got vaxxed of their own accord. Some in my family have. I was lazier or maybe fear death less (which also doesn’t make me smarter😆). I do though wonder about the poor souls who are up to #5 or 6 on boosters and especially those still wearing masks. My judgement is that they have mental problems.
I did not take the “Fauci Ouchy” because when I heard the treatment plan if you had Covid, was to go home and do nothing, I knew something evil was transpiring.
There is always something to do early in a respiratory illness as that’s when the virus is replicating and theraputics can have a great effect. Never in history has a medical treatment plan been to do nothing. Those poor people who waited until they were on their last leg were toast. By the time they came to the hospital the virus was long gone and they were in the clotting stage and cytokine(inflammatory) storm stage of the illness. Nothing was going to help at that point.
It dawn on me that this was being done on purpose to make the optics of the illness as scary and horrible as possible. Mass murder.
I trust the government zero, beyond zero. But if I were to be honest the big deciding factor is my nut bag leftist relatives were full blown Nazi over the vax from day one. That was enough to assure I would never get it. Ever.
There was also the fact that they had never successfully create a vax for a corona virus, ever. That was a bit head turning in and of itself.
Full disclosure I got covid. They took me to the hospital. They carted me off to intensive care. On admittance to the prison, cause that is exactly how it was set up, the nurse there told me verbatim ” There is nothing terribly wrong with you, you have pneumonia which people get every day. Stay on your stomach and you will be out in less than a week. I was out in 4 days. So even the good nurses knew.
The good Lord gave me a functioning immune system for a reason, it is up to me to care properly for it AND, if a “vaccine” could stave off a virus, we would have a “cure” for the common cold, would we not?? Hubby and I did NOT take the jab and, fortunately, have a WONDERFUL physician who recommended that we not take the jab from the get go. We asked him to prescribe a protocol which we could keep on hand in case we DID get COVID, so he gave us Ivermectin, an antbiotic and a steroid which knocked out the symptoms in three days when we did get it…..nothing more than a mild case of the “flu”.
Our problem is this: I am retired but my husband still works. Since 2021, his health insurance has been charging him a surcharge of $100/month for NOT taking the jab. We have argued round and round with everyone up the food chain at this company and no one seems to know who has the power to drop this ridiculous, and (imho) illegal charge. Hubby is 72, I am 70 and each of us has taken maybe one flu shot in our entire 45 year marriage…..so we weren’t starting with this crap, no matter how hard they tried to scare us into it. Once that stuff is in your system, there is no going back.
I try to pass along ALL well written and researched information regarding the dangers of this shot and yes, have had some friends back away…they just don’t want to hear it and will never admit they may have made a terrible mistake. That is what I think ALOT of the problem is with this huge “Shot”/”No shot” divide. People just cannot admit they were wrong. It is MY humble opinion that, as more damning information is discovered and uncovered about the vaccine, people who are frightened should seek out physicians who have formulated good protocols which can help mitigate any adverse symptoms and side effects down the pike. Be proactive!! Yes, maybe you made a mistake about choosing to take the vaccine but search out medical assistance to right the wrong. There is no reason that anyone has to die over this debacle if we all just stop trying to attack each other and think through this. Let the criminals stand before us all and, in the end, God.
I believe I was sick with was later called Covid 19 sometime between September and October of 2019. Spot on symptoms. When the Big Scare was introduced in early ’20 I was at first alarmed, washed all of my groceries with bleach. I was afraid to travel the interstate roads to Virginia to visit my daughter, fearing the US SS would be stopping cars and pulling people out for non compliance. I wore the stupid mask – for a while. Sometime around April? May? of ’20 I realized it was a scam. The realization was easy to come by because I listened to the real experts on this matter, like the guy who invented the MRNA and world renowned (up until then) vaccine and disease scientists of the highest caliber. They all told the truth, and if you have an honest heart you will know the truth when you hear it -I won’t repeat it, you all know it.
As time went on I wondered how President Trump had been so taken in by the lies, and how he could champion a poison designed to kill and maim the whole world. I knew early on that the lies were deliberate, the whole covid scam was deliberate, to get rid on the best man who ever held the White House. I knew that at some later date the “experts” would blame the whole thing on President Trump for “Operation Warp Speed”, and label him a murderer, or at least get him out of the way and detach his base from him.
Anyway, because I knew truth when I heard it I did not get the shots and I begged everyone I know and love to not get them. Some did anyway, some didn’t, and I think some of them lied to me and got it anyway.
We are being proven right more and more every day. yet TPTB are still pushing this death. TPTB are still ignoring in whole the damage and death they have caused – don’t tell me it wasn’t done on purpose. We still don’t know half the damage this experiment will cause down the line.
Many of us withstood pressure of all kinds and suffered all kinds of consequences for not getting the death shot. I used to feel bad for those that felt they had no choice, but I don’t feel sorry for them anymore. We all had a choice, we all had access to the truth. If you ignored it, then you suffer those consequences.
We’re all going to die of something. I prefer to not die because I was stupid enough to listen to a cabal of evil.
Early on when patients weren’t recieving treatment for symptoms of any sort the red flags went up for me. No breathing treatments, no measures for secondary infection. Nothing. Hospitals were bring told to just shuffle them off to see if they survived or not. Ludicrous.
Then when treatments and general wellness advice came up, America Frontline Doctors, Zelenko method, FLCCC and they were demonized and ridiculed. It just substantiated my suspicions that something wasn’t right.
Couple that with years of regaining my health through natural an holistic methods I wasn’t going to throw that away because of everybody else’s fear and panic.
Our family and friends are a mixed bag of vaxxed and unvaxxed. Thankfully we are blessed to be all very loving and considerate people. There was astonishment by some upon learning that I and others declined the shot but we were never excluded or treated any differently. I frankly think it caused many to pause and question their own decisions.
Now I spend my prayers on asking for my loved ones protection no matter their so called status.
No, I did not receive the experimental shot. The adjective experimental should explain it all. Unless absolutely necessary, I usually look toward holistic ways to stay healthy.
I saw the Covid thing as a scam from the beginning. I knew masks didn’t work and were about control. Anything recommended by Fauci and co was an automatic no.
I don’t trust government.
Ditto. This is my 6th time I have tried to respond with a lengthy response. The 5 tries were interrupted. and the replies were lost. So, # 6 is simply ditto to the above.
84 with high blood pressure, asthma, and borderline obese. Do not trust my government, the media or the medical system. Refused my doctors recommendations to take the covid shot. So did my wife. We went out shopping weekly and for coffee daily. Visited relatives frequently. I caught covid in August 2022. Tested positive 3 times to rule out false positive. Had a sore throat for a week. No other symptoms or side effects. Self quarantined for 7 days while with covid. Took ivermectin for first 5 days. Seems the “horse” medicine worked pretty good for me.
Good to hear you and your wife are going strong!
I did not get the jab.
One reason is the mask-mania forced upon everyone. I’m a retired first-responder with two and a half decades of training in hazardous materials and nuclear, biological and chemical warfare. NO WHERE is it written that a paper or cloth mask provides ANY protection against an airborne virus. If you want the best protection against an airborne virus, you must dress like the virologists studying those airborne viruses in the lab…by wearing a full-face, supplied-air respirator and protective suit.
Another reason is the mRNA jab. I’d vaguely heard of it before, so I looked it up. After fourteen years of research/development, it had never before been tried on humans. The research results done on lab animals with lungs/lung tissues similar to humans were unsuccessful . That’s a huge NO from me on getting the jab.
Another reason was number crunching. Only the most elderly of the elderly were falling victim to covid, and even then it was victims with several co-morbidities. The first story I heard of a person younger than 65 dying from covid was a twenty-four year old soccer coach…but it turned out he had just recovered from leukemia the previous year. And covid deaths in the under 21 crowd? Those are in the 0.0008% category.
During the heyday of AIDS was when I became a first responder and Fauci was in charge even then, over-hyping and making a circus show of everything.
To this day, I still don’t personally know anyone who died from Covid or was even hospitalized due to Covid.
Fauci is a criminal. He callously, cynically promoted AZT for AIDS after the drug, which he was invested in, had been taken off the market for excessive deaths in treating cancer. Some of my gay friends were desperate to get a hold of the drug, but just weeks or months after taking it died a horrible, horrible, death. None of us knew at the time it was this drug, thinking it was the AIDS that killed them, but Fauci knew. It was a way for him to recoup some of his lost investment in that drug.
I don’t know anyone who died from Covid or was hospitalized I only know two people who had it.
I imagine if a company with no ethics wanted to assure repeated use and multiple doses of a “vacine” they would design it so it would target the part of the virus that mutates the most. In this case the spike portion.
They vast majority here agrees it was a scamdemic from the get go.
My question is, what do we do now?
No doubt about that but I also know 3 elderly people that died from it.
I know more than three, but all were elderly, as am I.
I had the first and second jabs and one booster. I ended up in the Emergency Room three weeks after the booster with high blood pressure and almost a year after the first booster with an echocardiogram (because of a known earlier flappy valve for which I had a fairly recent echocardiogram) showing significantly lowered ejection fraction.
Now we know that the high blood pressure happened to 3-4% of those shot and lowered ejection fraction to a measurable number of those shot. Also I heard something last week about increased strokes (from high blood pressure?) following the second shot.
I would take the shot again. I lived in the county in NC with the most Covid deaths.
Surprised to hear you say this. I guess the ER was an acceptable outcome for you.
I have a friend that took the jab and a booster, because she wanted to travel internationally. One month after the booster, she developed heart problems. She thinks it was the jab, as she exercised daily, ate healthy and slim build. This is how they encouraged cooperation, by requiring it for travel. The irony is that she still hasn’t been out of the country two years later………..
A applaud your honesty.
Thanks for sharing your story. We each have had to forge our own path thru these past few years. So sorry you lost three people you knew.
I know 3 people that (I think) died from the shot. 1 mid 30s
1 middle aged on elderly. I know of many people who are getting weird illnesses, rapid cancers. I know this anecdotal but many people here and elsewhere are reporting this.
Good question.
The power to make all the world governments, the mass media, and to corrupt the world medical systems has to be enormous beyond belief. To do this without firing a shot is incomprehensible.
Every single one of the false narratives promulgated by our ‘collective’ enemy has, with the passagevof TIME, proved false, and the Plandemic is no exception.
THEY invariably start with denial and suppression, simply ignoring any detractors.
When that ceases to “work” for them, they shift to discrediting the detractors, WITHOUT attempting any serious refutation, based on actual FACTS or LOGIC, resorting to name calling.
And, when THAT ceases to work, they announce investigations to exhonerate, to bottle up the info, and suppress any actual investigations.
And then, to give the investigation credibility, they have REPUBLICANS conduct the phoney investigations, and allow SOME previously unknown, or not widely known ‘facts’ to come out.
And then they belatedly aknowledge it was all a hoax, and urge everyone to “move on”.
Thats NOT going to work, THIS time.
But whats going to happen, is anybodies guess.
I feel like we have been watching a “plate spinner” but instead of plates, they have been spinning False narratives, and as the first false narratives wobble and fall, they just put up NEW false narratives, and hope we won’t notice the growing pile of broken plates.
The end of the performance is predetirmined, and everyone in the audience KNOWS what its going to be.
We are at that stage now, where ALL the plates are falling, and I don’t think THEY have any idea WHAT to do, next.
And, the Covid plandemic may well be the final straw, that brings the whole thing crashing down on their heads.
Hi Guys,
This article from the local area newspaper (Pittsburgh, PA/Tribune Review-used to be the “conservative” area paper) I think is actually related even though NO discussion on CV is mentioned-Concerning violence & threats against healthcare workers. I think when people are lied to, or are not told the complete truth-people sense that. How many of these people (see the 3.5K comments on this page) are now taking matters into their own hands and pushing back when they ask WHY they or loved one is sick-but did everything they were told by the Dr.,CDC, etc., etc.-and are then just told more lies by the medical staff. I suspect this is going to accelerate and get much worse:
Violence in health care: Medical workers increasingly must contend with threats, assaultshttps://triblive.com/local/regional/violence-in-health-care-medical-workers-increasingly-must-content-with-threats-assaults/
