Many thanks for this question. For me it was an immediate gut feeling of not just no, but HELL NO. In 2021 and 2022, I travelled to Italy from the US, unvaxxed. I stayed two months both times. We visited all over the place, and though some places would not give us entry without a green pass (one hair salon, a restaurant, and once a farm convention), we managed to have a blast (she refused the vax as well) every where we went. It was okay to be denied entry to us, okay to be different – and I think that is the problem with most people. They won’t think for themselves. Now look at what is happening! I weep for the sheep.

My body my choice.

Had a family member in health care industry, seen what the flu shot did to people, never had a flu shot, did not get sick, used same mentality for this corona virus, I was sick before it became a thing, why would I get the shot if I had already had the virus, had immune system exposed and created own antibodies. Sometime nature knows best, not some snow flake in a lab. Family members that took the shot have had some major health issue, glad to not get the jab.

I found this article to be very helpful in making my decision not to get the jab

https://www.citizensjournal.us/18-reasons-i-wont-be-getting-a-covid-vaccine/

Sadly, my neighbor and trauma surgeon sent me this text in response to the article

I’m saddened. There’s lots of unsubstantiated and non-validated ideas on the internet. You’re believing the wrong stuff.

Hydroxychloroquine is not at all useful in preventing Covid, and has lots of side effects, including cardiac. Shocking to me you’re willing to take a drug for the wrong purpose ( and that is not even approved for this use, and risk your heart, ) but you won’t follow the real science and get the vaccine.

The overwhelming evidence is that the vaccine benefits totally outweigh risks.

If I could, I’d revoke the medical license of any healthcare provider who prescribed that drug for any purpose except Malaria or rheumatoid arthritis or SLE.

I just finished a week at work and my hospital is now completely full – we quadrupled The number of sick covid patients in 1 week. ALL unvaccinated people. I’m put at risk taking care of those patients who pretend to be science experts but getting the wrong information.

Compromise – stay at home, go nowhere and don’t come in contact with any other people – maybe then you’ll be safer and so will others.

Needless to say, I was shocked and still am his response

   I didn’t take the vaccine. I became aware of the mRNA through a link that was posted at the CTH in 2017. They have been trying to get the mRNA vaccine approve for some time and on the final report of their testing all the animals that received the vaccine died. What I found interesting at that time was that they didn’t die right away. Each died at a different time under different circumstances. In that report it was mentioned that once they were exposed to their “natural environment” they caught or developed illness that caused their death. I wish if I had kept that link. I don’t know where to find it or who posted it at the CTH.

   Another reason that helped me in my decision was a link that was posted early in 2020 at the CTH where it mentioned the COVID 19 virus. That it was manufactured. I can’t remember all the details because I didn’t take it seriously at that time. It wasn’t until March of 2020 that I realized that that article was on to something, but I didn’t save it.  Then everything that was coming out of the government contradicted that article, so it kept my antennas up.

   Also, what made me really suspicious was when President Trump said that China released the virus and China in response said that it was the US military that released that virus in Wuhan. The next thing I remember you couldn’t say that China released the virus. Which I believe China, that it was the US military that did it.

   Additionally, the obsession with the vaccine that you must take the shot. That wasn’t going to work with me. People at the CTH started to post link on all sorts of stuff, such as what Bill Gates been doing with vaccines and the pharmaceuticals and the US behind all the stuff around the world. So no, I’m not taking another vaccine ever. Thanks to them there is no trust left in me.

   In addition, one of the first people that made it to the news that died from the vaccine was the husband of a friend of the family. He was a doctor and died in Dec of 2020. One of the first people probably to die from it. I’d made a comment a long time ago about it so won’t elaborate. And that’s not the only one that I know of that has died. I know of others that cancer has returned because they took the shot. Most of the people I know are doctors and nurses that end up dying or getting a real bad illness. They were all for the vaccine, but probably would not have taking it if it wasn’t that they didn’t want to lose their job.

   Now there are other reasons, but I think this would suffice. I also got COVID 19 (which I gave you my story on that).

   What I can say that thanks to the CTH and the wonderful people that comment and post links that I was able to make a very informed decision as to why not take the vaccine.

Having sold vaccines for 35 years, I knew that mRNA vaccines had never been approved and had been trialed many times.(this was when the FDA was very strict, to the point of being ridiculous). I went online to look for the monograph. Every approved drug or vaccine has a “monograph” which is a compilation of all the research studies done on the product. There wasn’t one. All I found were marketing brochures and assurances from the govt. that it was safe and effective. Also no vaccine had ever been approved that quickly. At this point I was still naive about the level of corruption in the FDA and CDC. I had competed against Pfizer in the marketplace and knew they were dirty. They would do anything for sales. They usually didn’t have the best product. They purchased business any way they could. So I steered clear. I will admit that the propaganda was so strong that I considered getting the shots several times but my wisdom kept telling me not to.
I found what became the FLCC Drs. early on. I knew HCQ was very safe and knew people took it everyday so why not try it. I also sold IVM and knew that it was safe. I didn’t know it had anti viral properties, but why not try it. Then when I saw that the govt. did everything in it’s power to keep HCQ and IVM from the public, I understood the level of corruption that was going on. Merck “donated” millions of doses of IVM and the govt. locked it away and kept it a secret. Think of the lives that could have been saved. The other thing that amazed me was the medical profession’s rejection of science. I know that they trusted the FDA and CDC, but when evidence of the lack of efficacy and side affects started coming out, they seem to have ignored it and still do.
After going years without the flu, I got it twice year before last. Both self tested negative for covid. I started IVM at first symptoms and the third day I was up and around. The end of this past year I got flu symptoms and took IVM and once again was up and running around on the 3rd day. This time the hospital tested me positive. The other thing with IVM is that I didn’t have lasting effects with the flu. I really believe IVM works on colds also.
These days I’m feeling like a “pureblood”. I commend all who did not take the shot.

After reading this topic and comments for the second day, I felt compelled to share my story:
 
    After being forced to mindful of current events since 9/11, my late twenty-something self began watching the MSM and listening to talk radio find information related to the aforementioned tragedy. Through the years since, I have seen narratives turn off like a spicket depending on who the person was at the focus of the conversation. After watching and learning narratives are spun to the public in the form of news, everything I would read, listened to, and watch would  be through the lens of skepticism.
    In the months leading up to coverage of the virus, I literally listened to NPR go from “the flu is more dangerous” to “Covid-19 will wipe out humanity!”; it was at the point I learned the virus will a political tool to place death counts in the chyron. In my desire to find more information about the virus, I read a myriad of articles with links to other articles which eventually led me to CTH. Using CTH as one of my many resources, I learned about FLCCC and what they were doing to save lives. I also heard interviews with Dr. Malone and others around the globe. The success they were having and failure the hospitals were having did not seem to align to logic. Armed with the information provided FLCCC, my family and I were better equipped to survive the virus.
    Once information became available about the vaccines, I began my research. When I learned the vaccines were of a new mRNA technology, I immediately became hesitant. When they became available, my wife wanted to get the treatment along with my 17-year-old transplant-recipient daughter. I had educated both with my research findings but did not stop them if they wanted to move forward with vaccines.
    Meanwhile, the corporate conglomerate I was employed by was internally tossing around the idea of mandates. I informed my immediate manager and the manager above him that they would have terminate me before adhere to vaccine mandates. Fortunately, I found out they we also of the same mind. Later, when corporate was openly floating the idea of mandates, filing exceptions became an option with required testing. Again, I informed the management pair I was not getting the shot nor was I filing an exemption and subjecting myself to daily testing. It was at this moment I realized my corporate career would likely be ending and began keeping my eyes open for a small company in need of my abilities. Well, low and behold, an opportunity was provided. I met the management team along with president of the company and directly asked if they intended to require a mandate because I had no intention of getting the vaccine. The president responded with a firm “no”; I knew I found a new home.
     As more information was building around the side effects and the lack of performance related to the vaccine, I knew I made the right choice for me since I have a lineage of heart-related issues. My family and I would eventually catch Covid the night before Christmas eve 2021. I obviously had the worst case – a three-day 103deg fever with the strangest headache I have ever had; wife had a headache and child simply tested positive.
     Covid research has led me to CTH and placed me in a community of misfits; for that I am thankful. God Bless!

15 years ago, I became interested in ‘business’ and marketing.

Fast forward….pay attention to all those new medications being advertised on TV….you know the ones for Asthma, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disorders….

I find a similarity with the warnings for side effects….tell your doctor if you plant to get pregnant, comes to mind…and allergies…also I heard one speaking of stroke symptoms and heart rhythms…very similar to the two big jab companies. although we don’t hear too much about A-fib, anymore.

Buyer beware especially when entertaining the idea of placing unknown chemicals into your body.

Why not take it?
Experimental, no long-term testing, drug producers had no liability, why? Because they wouldn’t take a chance on lawsuits from untested drugs but they wanted us to take the chance with our health and lives. My jerk of a doctor tried to tell me the vaccine was “fully approved”, the liar.
Curent Status: No shots, no problems.

Why didn’t I fall for the hype of the liberals and get the untested mRNA vaccines? Early on there were reports that the Coronavirus originated in a Wuhan lab that Dr. Fauci had been funding and the truth was censored. Reports of effective treatments with Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine were censored by the feds in partnership with the social media companies and mainstream media. The feds did not want President Trump to get credit for saving the country with his recommendations for these life-saving drugs because the powers-that-be had other plans for this manufactured crisis. The Coronavirus/Covid testing was a scam and death rates were fraudulently inflated to create a panic and demand for more federal controls including shutdowns, fraudulent voting by mail–a coup to remove President Trump, and the experimental mRNA vaccines. Then there were stories like this one: “Dr. Judy Mikovitz was a brilliant young doctor with a promising career, until she discovered what she considered to be harmful consequences with vaccines. After she came out with her warnings, she was fired by Dr. Fauci and jailed for identifying the link between vaccines and chronic diseases.” Sundance said in June 2020 that it was a manipulative lie and hoax. So who would trust these liars and tyrants with their experimental, untested mRNA vaccines?

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2020/06/06/denial-of-truth-allows-easier-trespass/

While Dr. Fauci, NIH, FDA and other government agencies were taking full advantage (never let a crisis go to waste) of the China virus (released from the Wuhan lab that Fauci funded), look at how India totally stopped the virus. Uttar Pradesh is the largest state in India with a population of 230 million. They became Covid free in September 2021 using Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. There are reports that Biden suppressed their success story. If the US followed that model, many lives would have been saved and US doctors would have not lost their licenses. Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology, stated that the US government killed half-a-million Americans by their policies that prevent early treatment of Covid. But successful early treatment would have meant that the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) would have ended for the experimental mMNA vaccines, and there would never have been any vaccine mandates nor billions and billions in profits for big pharma. That was all by design. How many Americans had to be injured and/or die so that big pharma could get their blood money and Democrats could seize power by fiat?

HOW NOT TO GET COVID: NO VACCINE NEEDED

A Hospital Study Shows that Covid-19 Can be Prevented with Hydrogen Peroxide. Editorial by Dr. Thomas E. Levy, MD (the doctor who showed how to knock out the flu in one hour with liposomal Vitamin C), et al: In a recent study from the peak Covid-19 season (April 2021 – Dec 2021), over 4,000 patients and 89 healthcare staff of a hospital in Ghana used hydrogen peroxide on a daily basis. None of the 4,000+ patients got Covid-19. None of the 89 staff got Covid-19, except one who discontinued the use of hydrogen peroxide! This is statistically significant. These results suggest that even vaccines are not as effective as hydrogen peroxide in the prevention of Covid-19. The Covid-19 virus (SARS-Cov-2) and other respiratory viruses invade the body through the nose and the mouth. This study shows that using hydrogen peroxide can kill these viruses in the mouth and nose before they invade deeper into the lungs and the blood stream. This study used 1% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a mouth wash and gargle, and 0.5% hydrogen peroxide for a nasal cavity rinse (2-3 large drops per nostril). Once daily was enough to significantly reduce the risks of Covid-19. [Note: 1 part 3% H2O2 + 2 parts water = 1% H2O2. 1 part 3% H2O2 + 5 parts water = 0.5% H2O2.]

No jabs for Mrs. Shadow or myself. It started with the fake hysteria over a common cold. From the outset the lies were evident to anyone who ignored the hysteria and fake emotion to consider the claims. It simply could not be true that the disease was spreading faster than a rumor and killing more efficiently than a silver bullet, yet there were no bodies piling up. It was pure BS on the face of it, IF a person can separate the emotional manipulation from the claims.

That lie followed by the sudden demand that we all don yellow stars pushed me to sites that had never interested me before. It didn’t take long before the false aspect of most of the “conservative” sites became apparent but thankfully I had by that time been led here (by comments in those other sites).

I am still waiting to see the windrows of dead college kids from spring break 2020. I’m also awaiting any answer to my question (posted at other sites, several times): if there is no limit to what we should do to “save just one life” then why stop there? Why aren’t we pulling out all the stops to revive all the dead too?

Unfortunately, we had three new first time grandbabies on the way at the beginning of the pandemic and our male children who were raised conservative, have been “woke” by our liberal “daughters-in-law” both of whom are educators. We were told that we could not visit the grandbabies unless we were vaccinated. So we knuckled under, even though we knew at the very beginning that this was fraud. In February 2020, I located a research paper on the Virology Institute Website, under Microbiology that was published by the University of NC, Dr. Ralph Baric and funded by NIAID dated 2008 for “gain of function” research conducted over a 3 year prior period, on SARS-CoV-2 and ACE 2 receptors with bat corona virus backbone “chimeras” for the purpose of making the virus more infectious to humans. This was demonstrated utilizing “humanized mice” that were modified with human airways tissue implanted into the lungs of the mice. This research was later “banned” by Obama circa 2013 but continued by Fauci and Eco Alliance in Wuhan and the rest is history.

So my wife and I are double vaxxed, not boosted because we just could not bring ourselves to get boosted after literally thousands of hours and terra bytes of research, we knew we had been lied to. Our first source of information in 2020 was Dr. Geert Vanden Boosche and Dr. Malone, both of whom were being viciously attached by CDC, Fauci and MSM.

Fast forward to April and June of 2022 and we both got Omicron twice. I sought out FCCCC the first time, got Ivermectin and Z pack and the symptoms were gone in less than 48 hours. the second time, two months later I just gutted it out. My wife gutted it out both times. We are in our sixties, with no serious comorbidities and in fair shape. I did join Naomi Wolff’s dailyclout.io website but was in over my head and could not contribute but did donate. I am appalled that Pfizer has been shown to have lied about vaccine injury and safety and effectiveness and yet they and the US government are still pushing the vaccines which are killing people globally by the the thousands. Plus it does not work and you are more likely to contract the virus or die if vaccinated. This is madness. I believe the true objective is depopulation and control. I could go on for hours.

My husband (74) and I (62) did not take the jabs. Other than our ages, we had no other risk factors. I first became skeptical when I heard they were coming out with a vaccine quickly. I’d always understood it took years to develop a vaccine. Looking at the survival rates by age on the Covid19 WorldOmeter website, our risk was of hospitalization or death was low.

Somewhere along the way I came across Dr. Simone Gold’s story. Her reasons for not trusting the jab rang true to me; especially the fact that a vaccine for coronaviruses had never been successfully developed. When she was punished by her hospital for prescribing Hydroxychloroquine for her Covid patients that really raised alarm bells. There were other doctors early on – who were sharing their protocols and successfully treating patients – that were banned from sharing their experiences even before the jab became available. Doctors stated that they’d never practiced sending sick patients home with no medicine whatsoever. Trying off-label drugs to address their patients’ symptoms patients was always the way. Doctors reported the Public Health approach to the Covid pandemic was unlike past pandemics where you sequester the sick and let the rest of the population go about life. They went from only wanting to jab the most at risk population to “a jab in every arm” with no age risk stratification whatsoever.

My niece’s husband was a paramedic at the time. We said they tested every patient, even gunshot victims, for Covid. If they tested positive for the virus but bled to death from the wound, it would count as a Covid death. Same with accident victims, heart attack victims, etc. He held out to the last second to get the jab. Would have lost his job as a SF fireman if he didn’t so he took the J&J hoping it was the least damaging of all.

If nothing else, ask yourself how many TV or radio ads for prescription medications have you ever seen or heard that did not also contain a litany of warnings about potential adverse effects. Literally none until the jab came along. Safe and effective was all they ever said.

We decided not to get the vaccine and to follow the FLCCC Alliance protocols. We got Covid this past July and were treated by Dr. Pierre Kory’s staff with IVM, Hydroxy, and other OTC medications. We were sick for about 5 days. The most significant symptom we had was fatigue. We’ve both had much more severe cases of the flu.

All six of my siblings have been vaxxed and some of them are also boosted. All but one has contracted Covid anyway. When I tried to engage with them about the jab, they listened politely but went ahead and got the shots for themselves and some of their children anyway. I think they thought I was crazy. I take no pleasure in the news coming out about excess mortality and the dangerous side effects of the jabs. It actually sickens me to think of anyone being injured.

Already posted my answer, but just remembered an initial BIG RED FLAG:

The magnets sticking to the injection site! First of a VERY long line of horrors.

I held off taking the jab until I needed it to visit my daughter in Europe, otherwise I would have never taken the risk. The reason is simple; I followed all the data on covid “deaths” from Washington State on. It immediately was apparent that those dying were very old, very compromised and often in nursing homes (where the average stay is about a year before death). As that data never budged and as the hysteria around mandates grew (even though there was no data to support them) my skepticism increased. Then there was the HCQ and Ivermectin nonsense which I later understood was necessary in order to allow the jabs to be fast tracked (if there were existing pallatives, the jabs had to go through an normal FDA process). I started taking Vitamin D (something the government “somehow” ignored advising) and when I finally contracted the virus it was mild and shortlived (I’m over 60 by the way).

When “authorities” ignore previous science, contradict themselves (“masks don’t work/masks are mandatory!) then you have to be pretty dim to accept their story. I only knew one person with a serious case and while it was frightening, he never was hospitalized. Now I know of a young mother who “mysteriously” acquired a terrifying neurological disorder. She, unfortunately, was in the extreme fear covid camp. She survived but I have no doubt this perfectly healthy, atheletic person wasn’t stricken by anything but a reaction to her jab.

Anyone who knows anything about medicine knows the first rule is “do no harm”. Since there was never evidence that folks under 60 had a risk exposure worse than a normal flu, it was outrageous that the medical community was silent about the risk/benefit profile of an unvetted drug being advised to groups with no statistical risk. That is obscene. That universities, scientists, economists and statisticians didn’t raise bloody hell over the obvious defects of this practice is, in my opinion, the crime of the century. Unfortunately, all of those groups now have even greater incentive to censor and evade scrutiny because their status, should the truth be understood, would evaporate. Now the sad game is set; every politician, MD, media and anyone else who supported this nonsense has to BURY it.

because i just didn’t believe it.
honestly…i thought it was all on purpose to cripple this country.
i just don’t trust or believe anything they say.
just constant bull-shit.

Sundance. I nominate you to host a Twitter spaces conversation on the topic along with a few of the outspoken experts who have concerns about the jabs. That would be amazing.

i also don’t believe it was a weather baloon.

I have always been very skeptical of anything our government deems “good” for me.

I had a flu shot once and got sicker than a dog with the flu.

Never had the flu before so decided never to get that again.

I read everything I could find about covid and could see clearly they were lying.

The empty ships was really telling to me.

I think the final thing was everyone rushing out to get toilet paper.

Why would you need so much toilet paper if it was a respiratory disease ?

I’m close to 70 years of age and very healthy despite my misspent youth.

It actually may have helped me develop a very strong immune system. 😁

1. I’m highly suspicious of any product in which the manufacturer has immunity.
2. I do not trust the bozos in government.
3. My body, my choice.

I confess that my wife and I took the Moderna vaccine so we could take a Viking river cruise in Sep ’21. She has Parkinson’s and we reasoned it might be our last opportunity to go. We had a good time and we’ve had no ill effects.
We both got Covid last year as did many of our friends who have been vaxed.
We refused to take the boosters and we’re okay. My three brothers refused to take any shots.

Thank you Sundance and fellow treepers.

Definitely DID NOT TAKE this Frankenstein gene therapy because it wasn’t a vaccine. They forcibly changed the definition of vaccines to include this which was TOTALLY EVIL. Also, when the government started mandating it down everyone’s throats, failed to recognize alternative treatments, started firing people for not taking it, propagandized a massive FEAR campaign against an airborne flu which has never been stopped in the history of the world, criminally shut down small businesses and churches in lieu of big box stores, got on the vax certificate bandwagon to control travel, hid deadly side and long term effects, propagandized death tolls, used it to create a FRAUDULENT ELECTION with mail-in ballots, etc. etc. etc. And the EMERGENCY CONTINUES to this day.

2 simple reasons.

1.) Half the meds out there, they really don’t understand how they actually work. And then they have something that supposedly gives “instructions” to literally the very essence of my whole make up, DNA?
2.) When the ‘rona first made the scene, they all said they knew nothing about it, where it came from, what it was, how it hurt people. BUT.. they knew, FOR SURE, that THAT, Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine couldn’t possibly work. And the hysteria, the ranting and raving about how I want to kill my grandma because I wouldn’t get vaxxed, made it clear to me, that they were lying and knew and know far more than what they were saying.

The corporate media went into overdrive promoting the gene therapy.

I felt like I was being hustled.

I think, one of the saddest things that happened during this scam, is the total loss of trust in the medical community. It will be a long time before I am able to trust anything that my doctor tells me. This is not a good outcome.

I did not. Fiancé and I did tons of research, but we had been opposed to vaccines for many years already. Unfortunately, I had to have my 94-yr-old Mom vaxxed (16 months ago) in order to get her into a care facility, and all I could do was pray that she would be OK. Well, Mama died last Thursday, and I am relieved to announce that she did it on her own time, without any undue illness other than the ravages of age (Dementia).

There were many reasons to refuse the Jab. Many of these reasons were argued on these pages, and many I have used myself.

For me, though, the deciding factor was the Still Quiet Voice that said no.

I did not take the “vaccine” because, #1 I didn’t trust that little man with an ego of Napoleon and his sidekick the scarf queen…. Something was off with those two. That, and with the 98% survival rate, I said to myself: why not wait till October and see what happens rather than take their drugs?
(I also told a friend who was very spooked by their brainwashing fear campaign; when I see people dropping in the streets and piling up in morgues, THEN I will start to panic)
And so…
AS time went on, it became more apparent the vaccines didn’t WORK, masks didn’t work, walking down isles on one direction and pulling golf cups up above the green levels was nonsense if it didn’t work, I went on and lived my life like normal.
I also perceived those covid “cases” were off by thousands as there was no curve to flatten nor accompanying hospitalizations and deaths to come anywhere NEAR these co called “cases”…
I have been scammed too many times to bite.
And here I am. 🙂

No. My family did not. Experimental says it all.

The whole thing just did not add up.

Sundance, the number of responses is incredible and I regret the lack of time to read each one, but I will try. I can break down my decision not to be vaccinated into 3 areas; reason, trust & curiosity. Reason: It made no sense to me to take this (COVID) or any vaccine for an illness that has over a 99% recovery rate. During my annual physical in early 2021 my doctor asked if I wanted to sign up for the vaccine when they received their supply. I replied I would consider it however I was not sure I needed it considering the recovery rates to which he replied, in an off handed way that one would be stupid not to do so.
My next thought was, has my doctor for more than 25 years just called me stupid?? My thoughts on his comment in another post. Trust: For the same reason I would not call a plumber for a roofing issue, why would I listen to a so-called “public health official” for medical advice. Curiosity: Being able to think for myself, the supposed outbreaks of COVID never made any sense. I may be wrong but the press seemed to concentrate on funerals & weddings as possible”super spreader ” events. With hundreds of thousands of people in grocery stores, big box stores or other shopping areas every day, at no time do I recall any of these areas receiving blame for a so-called “super spreader event”. All of the reasons for taking the shot made no sense which resulted in my lack of trust of those promoting the shots. My wife & I plus one of my 3 brothers are looking smarter each day this B.S. continues.

I did not get the vaccine.

After working in and around the Aerospace, Defense and National Security arena for nearly 40 years, I worked with ‘the best and the brightest’ and, with due respect, know how things often go in the federal government bureaucracy in all departments, at all levels. A long way to say, like Sundance, there was no way in hell I was trusting that system that I knew all too well.

I was alarmed about the virus in the early going (I’ll never forget the day in Jan 2020 when Bannon changed from ‘War Room Impeachment’ to ‘War Room Pandemic’ on a dime. Wait, what?)… Things were crazy, confusing and scary. But by March of 2020 I smelled a huge rat and bought almost none of it.

My wife and I would never take the vaccine (and paid small, annoying prices for that decision) and my 20-something sons would not either. Both sons almost lost their jobs (one a scant day away from doing so) but dodged the mandate bullet just before being let go. Timing is everything in life.

Sadly, my two 20-something daughters took the vaccine in order to keep their jobs at very prestigious Boston hospitals and that haunts me every single day. But, so far, so good.

I will always be grateful for my friend and personal physician standing up against the vaccine for all but the very old and infirm. He did the math and truly ‘trusted the science’ and told me that I had a 99.997x% chance of surviving COVID and, if I got it, it would likely be a sucky flu for a week. He was big on prevention and then immediate treatment if contracted. He was adamant that immediate treatment was crucial because it was the ‘secondary infection’ that would occur if COVID was not treated promptly that was the killer. So one needed to head that off at all cost.

Everyone in my family had COVID. Some more than once. All a modest flu. All treated quickly. All fine. I just worry about the long term implications for my girls.

I have a family of six. Only my daughter took the first two vaccinations due to her employer’s insistence and concern of loosing her job. (she works for Ryder, based in Florida, that subsequently changed its position due to DeSantas). We all followed Dr. Zelinko’s recommendation of a cocktail of zinc, vitamin D, and Quercetin.

My oldest son decided not to reenlist in the Airforce when his four year term was up in 2020 and the vaccine was rolled out.

Oldest daughter is self employed as was able to dodge the vaccine by working from home.

Youngest son, still lives at home and was subject to the opinion of mom and dad.

The unvaccinated (5) all caught Delta covid in August 2021, and I came down with a pretty serous case. I believe I have “long Covid” and easily still get fatigued. The little woman (still working as a librarian and see a lot of patrons) too had a pretty serious case, started loosing hair, but ultimately recovered. She just recently tested positive again, but was over it five days later. No big deal for the second infection. None of us caught it from her.

I am an officer in the American Legion Post 291 with over 7,000 members, many of whom are over 60 years old. Just after rolling out the vaccination, I started learning of a sizeable number of members having complications. Deaths jumped and word spread through our group and a lot fewer took any of the boosters. They initially were very interested in getting the jab. At a meeting yesterday, no one had a positive think to say about getting vaccinated. This is the major reason for me to convince the family not to get it.

I am not anti vax. I got my Shingles and Flu vax, but adamantly refused to let my doctor give me the latest booster based upon my knowledge learned from other 291 members.

Those in government, the military, media, and corporations who forced this on us must be held criminally liable!

Many reasons we did not take it. 1. Being an engineer and from a purely “engineering” perspective you don’t introduce “unkowns” (like random mRNA functions) into your body. 2. Do you really thing anyone vetted all the reasonably possible bad outcomes? 3. Wife owned a bar, staid open almost 100% of the time, no masks, no precautions. No one got COVID from the bar. They did if they worked in the medical field. 4. The PCR test is over-amplified and hence will produce bad results. 5. Been using my own “anti-viral” treatments for going on 20 years – haven’t been sick (see: https://lwgat.blogspot.com/search?q=sinus) – still true 11 years later. 6. Worked in a medical device place – its easy to show masks do absolutely nothing (industry says so as well if you look).

Purely sales hogwash. Bad Chinese intel from the start.

I also believe “the Covid” is in large part due to modern dietary deficiencies: zinc, D, and so on. If you are smart enough not to be undernourished you chances of Covid hurting you in any significant way are close to zero in my opinion.

I’ve seen far worse flu. I walked out of the 1976 “Swine Flu” line thinking “there’s something wrong here” : https://lwgat.blogspot.com/2020/03/pandemic-swine-flu-of-1976-i-survived.html

As soon as the pandemic started and I saw how the Fauxi crew treated Trump, I knew there was sketchy crap going on.

Bill Gates vaxx disasters in Africa and India revealed that ‘this ain’t your old-time vaccine’ anymore. If you dig into the ‘studies’ done on childhood vaccines, they are less than convincing that they are not the cause of Autism.

If you are willing to LIE about killing babies, there’s NO WAY we were going to trust a vaxx rolled out without proper studies.
My Dad, WWII vet, taught us to NEVER believe what the government tells you – they are NOT on our side. Respect authority, but with both eyes wide open. No vaxx now, no vaxx ever.

I did not receive any injections. I was an “essential worker” in the heart of NYC during the early days of the covid fear apocalypse, supposedly the ground zero epicenter of the wave of death illness. Yet – I saw nothing abnormal. Nobody I knew as getting sick, no one I knew was dying. There certainly didn’t appear to be anything abnormal occuring. My friends and relatives who lived outside NYC would constantly keep me updated on how everyone around me was supposedly getting wiped out by a pandemic – yet, I could see no evidence of it with my own eyes and ears.

When I attempted to assuage them that no, NYC wasn’t a land of dead-man-walking zombies (that would come later, actually, and not because of any viral infection), they’d bring out reams of media published “data” proving my own daily experiences wrong.

So, I looked into the data, trying to see the gap with my experiences, and perhaps find a way to comfort my relatives. What I found theree was an inescapable conclusion: based on the data was construction, manipulation, and framing, it was obviousthat the people creating the data structures knew that covid did not exist. The handiwork of statistical manipulation (statistical manipulation is part of my job) was evident, the type of statistical manipulation that would only occur if someone knew for a fact there was a result they wanted to show that did not exist in reality and it must be created through tricks and sleight of count.

The conclusion that covid did not exist as advertised (I’m not saying a seasonal respiratory illness of some sort didn’t exist, I’m saying the “deadly pandemic” did not exist) was the evidence of my eyes and ears. The conclusion that the people pushing the fear were not simply overreacting but rather were carefully and skillfully manipulating people with lies was the evidence of the data they provided.

If someone who created a pandemic lie out of whole cloth insisted – then punished, then threatened – that you let them inject you with something they concocted for it, would you take it?

Of course not.

I am a firm believer in God’s gift to us in the form of a perfect immune system if we take great care of our health!!! So who needs an experimental, untested MRNA vaccine?!?!

I’m old. Over the years I have come to the conclusion that one should never be the first in line to take a new vaccine. With Covid, my doubts started with the masking recommendations. My former career led to having knowledge of particle size and filtering. It did not take much effort to determine that a virus is about 1,000 time smaller than the mesh of the average mask, i.e. like a knat to a chainlink fence. Then the war against Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin just did not make sense considering that the vaccine was only authorized for emergency use, and the only CDC authorized vaccine was never made available – WTF! Then the Dr. Malones of the world started raising red flags, and since my wife has some heart and blood issues, we decided to just wait and see. In the mean time we started taking zinc and D3. We also acquired a couple doses of Ivermectin in case we did contract the virus. To date, neither of us has come down with the virus, and as time has passed are ever grateful for our initial decision to not get jabbed.

The Covid pandemic in general has harden my opinions about government incompetence and the greed of those in power. I will no longer be taking flu shots, or any other touted vaccine. If I die, it will be due to nature and God’s will – not stupidity.

No.. I didn’t get the BIOWEAPON… a few years back I dug into regular vaccine research… read Dr. Susan Humphries book” Dissolving Illusions”, others. Dig into research by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny (www.learning4you.org), Bollinger’s “ The Truth About Vaccines”. I was stunned… I was lied to, “safe & effective “. Now passing out “ Turtles All TheWay Down”….
So, this C19 opened my eyes to USA Corrupt Government, WEF, UN, WHO, CDC, FDA, FBI, ect… corruption. The Chemtrails… all of it..
Solutions? Decentralized local communities… and God..Pray .. for all of us….

I originally took the first two because they were promoted as s “vaccine”… they are not and when the fatality numbers were being inflated to keep the ball rolling for BIG PHARMA I simply said ENOUGH!

I am always amazed when I hear from people that would not eat GMO food that was described as “frankenfood” but yet back a shot that is a genitally modified RNA strand!

This was simple. Even when Trump announced “Operation Warp Speed”. I said, great, but my family and I are going to pass on taking the shot until enough data exists to provide a real Risk/Benefit analysis. The fact that this “vaccine” came in the form of a new tech. never before used in humans in combination with the rushed process for delivering the vaccine made this decision a no brainer for anyone still capable of thinking critically. My caution served me and my family well as the shots have not lived up to their billing and may have done extraordinary and irreversible damage to our species. The willingness of 2/3rds of Americans to rush out and take this experimental gene therapy was a shock to my conscience. The land of the “Free” and home of the “Brave” have been reduced to a flock of sheep.

I didn’t take the shot quite simply because I do not trust anything this government does. It has become a bought and paid for corporatocracy. The government caters to the aristocracy and themselves.

So I nearly died. Twenty one days in the hospital, 10 in the ICU, and 9 days on the ventilator. I had taken 5 doses of Ivermectin but I should have probably doubled the dosage once covid set in. My doctor took preventative IVER two or three times a week- and although he runs a clinic- he never came down with covid although many of his patients had covid when coming in.

The judgement bestowed upon me by the left and the Karen crowd was remarkable. It was my own fault, I was selfish, cavalier, or stupid. My true friends were just happy that I was alive. To this day, I have zero remorse for eliminating the judgers from my life.

When I look into the mirror I don’t want to see a lab rat staring back at me.

Very early on there were heavily credentialed doctors, scientists, and practitioners with overwhelming anecdotal and empirical evidence running contrary to the “narrative.”They were being canceled, their careers destroyed, and their voices marginalized. I realized this is a new era we’ve just entered – a WAR, an information war. I saw the city of Chicago go from prosperity and growth to despair and decline. I saw BLM destroy neighborhoods and maskless useless idiots being encouraged to demonstrate while we couldn’t enter any establishment without a mask. The maligning of true health initiatives, which do work combined with a highly controlled destruction of basic personal security and once entirely functional public services, such as the police and health care, made the decision for my family and me. NO COMPLYING with this murderous experimental weapon which killed all the animals in what little testing came to light early on. Not on my watch would my family surrender our bodily autonomy to this obvious evil.

#1 my wife and I both had the virus and survived intact and as such had the best immunity possible.
The early narrative that this came from a market in Wuhan from bats was total BS to me. Then there
is the Utube video MedCram 34 about how to successfully treat this virus this with HCQ and Zpac. Then
the story about a retirement home in Toronto CA , the Valley View Residence Home,
that had a scabies outbreak in Feb 2020 and treated
the residents with IVM and the residents didn’t get covid while the staff which didn’t take the IVM.
got sick. One of the daughters of a residence did a Utube video on it. Then after the vaccine was out
Luc Montagnier was interviewed and what he said was not encouraging to take the jab. Then a close
relative of mine took the jab and lost 70% of their cardiac function. There’s more but it was clear
to me that the vaccine was not safe or recommended, I don’t trust or respect the government, medical
establishment of big pharma..

Just being a ex painter and Paint Store manager when someone tells you a dust mask or n95 mask will protect you, I knew it was bs. Ever spray painted a chair in your garage with a mask on? What ends up all over your nose? It was a means to and end period. Ask yourself this.

How many people do you personally know who died from Covid and or with Covid?

Now ask yourself how many people you know who by coincidence unexpectedly and suddenly passed.

In Cowslip Warren we do not ask about those who have disappeared……Richard Adams not me 🙂

I didn’t submit to the demand for the shot because:
1. I don’t trust the government,
2. I don’t believe the media,
3. I had no interest in participating in a global experiment, and
4. I don’t like being told what to do.
The more they screamed about compliance, the stronger my resistance grew. I was shocked at the number of my friends and family who obeyed so quickly.
No critical thinking involved and blindly doing what their phones & televisions instructed.
Fear is very powerful.
Be prepared for the next round of lies – it’s not over.

I did not get any COVID injection. I have a Bachelor of Science degree and am able to think for myself. US Army 1968-70 SE Asia and I do not trust the government. The government stink is in every thing. My trust is very limited now and believe about 10% of what I read and I read a lot (my DAD’s words). I am not an “anti-Vax” person but will probably not get any vaccinations in the future. Masks are backwards, support your immune system!

During the “Pandamnit” I was a government employee and was given the option of taking the jabs (there were two Pfizer shots required at the time), or lose my job. I took the jabs. However, once the government started pushing the COVID-19 boosters for succeeding variants I handed in my retirement papers and left federal employ.

Now with all the negative evidence being reported on these vaccines, I am glad I got out of the maelstrom. Athletes dropping dead on the field from heart attacks! High-school children with enlarged hearts! And God only knows what will happen to our children who are receiving the vaccine.

These bureaucrats are messing around with genetic manipulation. Even the Manhattan Project had better science and control than the vaccine which was rushed into production and foisted upon the people of the United States by a coercive government.

Thank God I was able to leave all that nonsense behind me. I only pray for those less fortunate than me.
They are facing death.

Just like most people on this thread I smelled a rat the minute they went to close us down in March, 2020. My husband and I continued all through the lockdown months here in Pennsylvania to see our grown children and grandchildren. We even had them (the grandchildren) sleep over and take care of them so our working children and spouses could have a break since they were working and the kids were home from school. We also continued to shop our local food store and I watched the workers there every week working not getting sick and certainly not dying. When the daycare centers open in June here, the grandchildren who were enrolled went to school everyday and no one got sick.

My youngest daughter was pregnant with her first child and due in September, 2020. She was very scared and I had to work and pray with her to let her know it was all going to be okay and her baby would be born and all would be fine. The hospitals here in on the main line in PA would not let grandparents in to visit the new baby and family but the delivery guys could walk in and give my son in law a cheesesteak but I couldn’t even walk in to give the nurse clean clothes for my daughter.

As time came for the vaxes our family started to get divided, with my son and his wife all in on the vaxes and my two daughters and their spouses against it. My husband and I were on the fence being older and having some issues especially my husband. We decied to get the J and J shots but the day we were scheduled to get it the shots were pulled off the market. We took that as a sign from God not to take it and be prepared if we got the Vid. I started following Dr Cole, Dr Malone and Dr McCullough and Alex Berenson. I contacted Front line doctors for a tela-med for us to get ivermectin and/ or hydroxychloroquine is case we got it. We also were on all the recommended supplements. My son and daughter in-law gave my 6 year old granddaughter a covid shot in November 2021. It broke my heart. Also my daughter in law got both shots while pregnant with her 3 rd baby, my 6th grandchild. By the grace of God so far both are doing fine. The thing was though that my granddaughter getting her vaxed shot started us all to get Covid. My son and his family was first and then after Christmas the rest of got except the grandchildren of my daughters who were never vaxed. For my children they all sailed through Covid pretty easy. Also, it was interesting to see there was no differences with symptoms for the vaxed versus the unvaxed. I took ivermectin the first day and by three day I was symptom clear. My husband was fine the first few days taking hydroxychloroquine but he developed pneumonia and we had to call a doctor by the way his cough was turning. He did a telamed with the doctor and the first question she asked was he vaxed? As instructed by me my husband lied and said he was and then she was all upbeat and scheduled him a chest x-ray and we got the drugs he needed for the pneumonia and he was fine a week later. Its a shame you have to lie to a doctor but screw them.
My son in law worked for the Army but as a civilian and they were pushing the vax and they were not allowing any exemptions. My son in law began looking for work outside the government and found a great job with more money and they didn’t care if he was vaxed or not. They lost a hard worker and one who cared about doing a great job.

My youngest daughter also experienced discrimination at her job. She was the only one not jabbed and they would make her be in the office on a zoom call and the rest were all in the conference room. It was hysterical when they all got the covid except her. She has since found a new job.

A lot of our friends are vaxed and fully boosted and that’s their choice and so far they all have been doing fine but I am so glad we never got it and know we have natural antibodies.

I refused the experimental mRNA injection because 1) in 2010 prior to giving me the H1N1 flu shot the nurse asked if I had ever had Guillain–Barré syndrome, which I had when I was 5 years old. I was hospitalized for months after my legs and arms became paralyzed unexpectedly. My physician then told me not to get any flu vaccines as they put me at high risk for relapse. I was very fortunate that only my extremities were affected and had no permanent damage, since GBS can attack the respiratory and autonomic nervous system (heart & blood pressure) and could even lead to death. My risk of infection/hospitalization/death from Covid in contrast was minimal.

2) I believe I had Covid in January 2020 & therefore have natural immunity. It was the absolute worst flu of my life and I felt as though I was on death’s door. I’ve had bronchitis twice and that flu was much worse. It was also super contagious, 95% of the people at my workplace came down with it. I rarely get the flu due to my obsession with washing my hands, not even the H1N1 flu in 2010 even though both my roommates who were restaurant workers came down with it.
