I am bumping this post to the top of the page and updating because, well, I’ll explain.
First, thank you. Sincere and genuine thankfulness for your fellowship. Visitors to this site continue to prove that our nation is created by, and an assembly of, the most decent, honest, generous and kind-hearted people in the world. The responses to the question of ‘why didn’t you take the covid-19 shot?’ are nothing short of remarkable.
In the bigger picture if you want to fill up your faith cup and recognize the scale of commonsense assembly in our nation, take the time to read through the 2,000+ responses.
The feedback you are providing is exceptional and trust me when I say that far more people are reading these responses than you could fathom. Additionally, the responses have reasserted my belief in the scale of our national assembly. There are far more of us, ordinary, hardworking, commonsense, pragmatic and smart people, than the self-described intellectual elites would ever admit.
In addition to the responses below, there have been hundreds of emails answering the question, which suddenly made me realize that no one has really ever asked this question before in a format that provides ordinary people with the ability to respond.
There is also a yearning to talk about this issue, publicly and with deliberation; massively so. And I am hopeful (insert grin here) this small corner of the internet is about to push this conversation into a much larger national forum. Our nation needs a big conversation about this.
If I had to pick a single phrase to encapsulate the myriad of phenomenal responses to the question I would use the phrase, “intellectual discernment”; which again provides buckets of faith that a large number of people are wide awake, albeit part of what I call a potato revolution growing safely underground.
Also, unbeknownst to front page readers I am stunned at the people in/around operation warp-speed, these are people in government directly attached to the issue, who have contacted CTH on the backside, stepped forward and said they also didn’t take the shot because, well, despite their belief in the purpose and principle at the time, things were just not adding up and ultimately seemed sketchy. They couldn’t talk (so they felt), couldn’t even hint at their concern; but when it came to making the personal decision, they waited.
I also owe it to you to answer the question of my own status, which is a big heck no – I did not take the jab.
Why? Because in the preceding years of all my research into the rapidly exposed corruption of our government, there was just no way in hell I was going to trust that same system. A system that literally was working outside the constitution and legal framework of our nation to destroy a sitting U.S. President is going to suddenly care about my health. Nope, it did not align. I also looked at the datapoint of the U.S.S. Comfort delivered to New York City under the grandest of media proclamations about impending medical doom, only to see the ship sit empty and completely unused despite the scale of the narrative that surround its purpose.
Lastly, and more obliquely, the datapoint of one of my heroes Franklin Graham assembling a NY field hospital to serve over 20,000 patients; another massive endeavor that sat empty and without use. However, prior to the hindsight, it was the in-real-time fight from officials in/around the area who tried to block Samaritans Purse from setting up the facility. If the SARS-CoV-2 issue was as great a threat as declared, then why would anyone fight to keep out a field hospital that could provide such relief. It just didn’t make sense.
Those issues, and others, formed the baseline of my inability to reconcile the key issue of ‘trust’ needed to believe in the vaccine. Additionally, I am healthy and not within any of the risk factors. However, I also feel strongly that each health decision is unique to the individual person, and everyone was making the best decisions for them based on the available information at the time; so, I carry no judgement for those who made a different choice.
As noted, I am bumping this to the top of the site so that our conversation can continue. Normally I would start a new thread, but this one is different. I don’t want to break the continuity and I want to provide everyone the ability to see they are not alone.
Love to all,
Sundance
Reader feedback request.
I was quite shocked to review a poll I took on the Twitter last month showing that 85% of the people who follow the CTH Twitter account [TLR2] did not take the COVID-19 jab.
Without any judgement implied or inferred I am genuinely curious, why not?
With the situation clearly in hindsight, and/or given all the pressure that may have been applied to each individual situation, I am genuinely curious what was it that made you choose not to take the COVID-19 vaccination.
If you are comfortable, and please understand that no pressure is intended in any way whatsoever, could you share why you didn’t take the vaccine and how do you feel about that decision in hindsight?
If you did take the vaccination, there is also no judgement in this question. As I said back in 2021 each individual is unique, each situation is unique, and each person has to make the best decision about what is in their individual best interests. So please, don’t let this issue divide our conversation.
I am genuinely curious as to the reason so many people would withstand the public and perhaps peer pressure to follow the ‘vaccination’ advice. Also, how has that decision impacted your life? Did you lose friends and family over your personal health decision? Did those relationships heal over time? Or anything else you might find pertinent to the general question.

I live & breathe at the honor and pleasure of our Lord Jesus Christ. I don’t do experimental drugs, I don’t do bandwagon, arm twisting, do this or else threats. I don’t gamble, especially in regards to my health or that of my family. I had knowledge that fetal cells were used in the production of this and with that knowledge could not stand before my Lord and account for a decision that in any way condoned the slaughter of the innocent.
I did not take it.
Why not? Because to hell with those people. That’s about the sum of it. It wasn’t really concern about risks posed by the vaccine. I had made up my mind not to get it long before really concrete evidence about those had started to come out. I never actively believed they were “safe and effective,” mind you. I was just ambivalent.
No, the reason I didn’t get it is that by the time it became available, it had been clear to me for months that everything the establishment had to say about COVID was a complete lie. I saw no particular reason this shouldn’t be just the same. And, well, to hell with those people.
There was a brief point of conflict when a relative really leaned on me about it–quite manipulatively, I must say. Someone was going through chemo, and this was used to try to guilt me into getting the shot. I refused. That was almost a much larger problem than it turned out to be. Ultimately, I pointed out that under the circumstances, the patient’s risk tolerance for infectious disease was so low that whether I got the shot or not was basically irrelevant. This was recognized by a valid point by some, and fortunately the ones who saw reason were really the ones who mattered. Those who didn’t see reason had to just deal with it, and the family moved on.
I don’t really talk about it with anyone else though. I was self-employed until a few months ago, so I didn’t really have to answer to anybody about my status.
I’m a caretaker for my dad who is a 101 years old got the first JAB both of us then figured all the rest was BS.
For me, I wasn’t comfortable with the jab for a couple of primary reasons: 1) insufficient information to make an informed judgement, that is declarations of ‘safe and effective’ in lieu of educational information about a revolutionary new gene therapy drug; 2) the strong push and mandatory edicts had the opposite affect for me as I felt if life was truly threatened and a magic cure was at hand, the ‘push’ would not be needed; and finally, 3) there was information one could find if digging for it that indicated some more simple and traditional style treatments were available. An engineer by education and trade, I was suspicious of claims that ‘we’ understood body and gene chemistry sufficiently to safely start screwing around with it. My 9 siblings, some took the jab and some didn’t, were all non-judgmental.
God bless you both!
Neither my husband or I took the shot. We’ve never had flu shots so it was just an automatic decision to not get a vaccine that they threw together at the last minute it seemed, and it WAS, wasn’t it?
I had some kind of serious flu years ago, back around 2002 while doing volunteer work at the local wildlife center, we had a sick swan and something ‘avian’ was going around, I came home with chills so bad I could hardly stand up . It passed in a few days.
We went to a large Thanksgiving gathering a few months ago, we got Covid that broke out on Dec. 10, had a headache from hell and thought it was a stroke, went to the E.R. where they diagnosed me as Covid, husband got it too. Symptoms were mostly coughing, sinus and loss and taste and smell for about three days. Getting rid of the horrible cough was the hardest part of it. Both took Ivermectin for 3 days, it seemed to heal us fast.
What we’d like to know at this point is whether the virus itself was a bio weapon, and if so, what’s in it. We all know at this point that the jab does not prevent Covid, and many people we know have had heart attacks and strokes after having boosters.
exactly when the cartels got immunity from lawsuuts, it was a dead giveaway.
According to Sasha Lapytova who has done a number of interviews recently the virus is a bioweapon. Nobody knows what the ingredients are because Big Pharma won’t release that info. Look up Sasha on substack, especially the interview with Lara Logan which explains everything.
She’s presented some good information. Karen Kingston has, as well.
I posted a link earlier today but here’s another,
https://sashalatypova.substack.com
I am a medical statistician by training. I evaluated and taught statistics to medical students before I retired. I read the Pfizer summary application to the FDA and there were five times as many cases as controls eliminated from the study. Since I already knew Pfizer is a criminal operation with multiple convictions for fraud I decided I would not take the vax.
I have posted mention of their fraud cases. Fake News supresses that.
Fortunately for all of us, CTH does not …
The average “covid death” was about 1 year older than average American life expectancy.
The average “covid death” began the year with several co-morbidities and a slim statistical chance of living another year if they didn’t catch the wuhan fru.
Well being an old man with hypertension and stroke history I didn’t include that in my personal risk/benefit calculation. LOL!
I received the initial two shots because at that time I perceived long Covid to be a bigger risk than the shots. By the time the booster was available I had reversed that position. I now consider the vaccine a much larger threat than long Covid.
I was in desert storm. Was experimented on then . Gulf War syndrome. Once was enough.
Thank you for your service. And, thank you that you wised up and made it out of there alive.
Sometimes just knowing what you don’t know is enough!
I am mid 40’s with no underlying health conditions, so I thought I would be fine to hold off long enough with a stash of ivermectin and supplements until we all saw how the vaccine pans out.
I followed UncoverDC, Alex Berenson, FLCC, and Geert V. for sanity and accurate non hype information.
The propaganda was too much! It was overkill and obvious.
My mother in law was still harping on my husband to get vaccinated even after it was shown that they did not stop transmission. She knew better than to say anything to me. We all still get along fine.
I was blocked on Facebook by some cousins for spreading disinformation.
Definite bit of tension at the few extended family gatherings we have had.
My 3 loving adult children all have at least the initial shots. I never harped, and if they wanted to know how I felt about it, all they had to do was read the information I put out on social media or just ask. They think I am just a crazy conspiracy theorist. I did not allow my 16 year old son to be vaxxed.
I did not take it because I had covid for 6 weeks before it was even covid, late 2019.
No one cared and just wanted to shoot me full of god knows what.
I KNOW masks don’t work, also know that total isolation is unhealthy and sunshine and fresh air are good……..then they want to inject me? HELL NO.
This was political from the start, I have enough challenging things in my medical history.
Add to it that I’m in the medical field and everything I was taught was ignored.
So yeah, I would not take the shot if I were the last human standing.
That said, I know only a handful of unvaccinated and I was not shy about my opinion that no one should be vaxxed.
Funny how they invented placing the healthy into isolation ( lockdowns) I never heard of isolation procedures for the un-infected.
That and the healthy were redefined as asymptomatic carriers, guilty until proven innocent.
I still wonder sometimes if COVERT-19 was supposed to be much deadlier than it turned out to be. 15 days to flatten the curve. That’s all we needed after all, and maybe not even that.
I didn’t get jabbed for a few reasons, but the main flag was the FDA approved rush job. Emergency, or not, bypassing the approved regimen of trials made the jab too risky. To paraphrase, “We had to distribute the vaccine to find out what’s in the vaccine”. I’m nobody’s guinea pig.
I did not get the shot and neither did my step children or their kids. Collectively we all saw what was happening to some folks who decided to get the shot and each of us said Hell No! You certainly don’t need a college education to be able to see what was happening. Most vaccines take years and years to be developed and none of us felt at all comfortable taking that leap. Thank God. My baby sister died suddenly not long after her second Phizer injection and No One will ever be able to convince me that the shot did not kill her. She was 55 and left behind two grown boys and her husband. Nuff said…
We grieve with you, Lee …
I was around in the 70s when they wre predicting the next ice age. Then we were running out of food, the oil crisis, 2007 2008 mortgage melt down, which they should have seen coming, and credit default swaps made no sense to me. When I started working on Wall Street (mid-80s) the toughest thing to adjust to is how much people lie.
Add to that the transformation of global warming into climate change, and although I crossed no bright line, eventually you learn to sniff out a hustle. I have also seen The Music Man multiple times where they show you how it is done. (joke)
In short, never vaccinated, learned a lot from CTH, and take Vitamin D, C, zinc and quercetin. I have never had Covid although I have been exposed a couple of times.
Remember the Alar thing with apples? Nobody’s ever gonna eat apples again………..
I think it came out pretty early showing a 99.9% survival rate. Than there was that newsclip of a busy, panicked
emergency room that was actually from Italy (no sound track).
And of course I have absolutely NO trust in ANYONE saying ANYTHING from our government anymore.
Same here.
Nope, all that went out the window in 2019. After seeing the NWO globalists and their fake scamdemic games with Bill Gates at the helm, I knew there was something afoot. Gobermint can Kiss my Butt.
Doubting Thomas by nature.
I had teenagers at home who were not afraid and were leading their lives normally (Texas)
I quickly understood that people with existing high risk factors were the ones dying. Not normal people.
Didn’t trust the government. Read this site daily and had some understanding. When something is uniformly accepted I naturally question why.
Whole slew of other factors came into our family’s calculations.
No trust if government anything. They have lied about everything and can’t be trusted. I was military for 30 years and left in 2020. We have been used.
The deception and revelation in my last years since 2014 and the change In rules gives me pause. Their hate for deplorables. They hurt my family.
I have an autistic child and another that got meningitis that almost died from that vax.
God, Showed me the way.
Deny evil your time, talent and treasure.
And evil will fall to the wayside.
Evil will loose its sway on you.
I have disconnected from society. I will become a hermit.
And The more I walk away they more I feel uplifted.
Deny evil your time, talent and treasure. You won’t regret it.
Thanks to Sundance I can monitor the world from afar.
Never researched it I just didn’t trust how the government rushed it out and never thought covid was as severe as they made it out to be. Was one of only a handful at two jobs to have not taken it. My wife didnt take it either. Our families don’t care but they’re also not crazy libs for the most part. If the fed government tells me to do something urgently I’m more than likely doing the opposite.
I didn’t take the shot because I’d been following the covid reports about the virus since December. Every day the story changed. Suspicious Cat.
50+ elderly people in my building and only one got covid in 2020 .
After the jab came out ….
2 had shingles (one in her eye( very rare)
4 had strokes
1 a UTI with hospitalization, diagnosis of covid and treated with remdisiver.
2 quickly worsened dementia transferred to assisted living, hospice and death.
numerous of them have since had covid several times and kept quiet about it.
I take the forbidden drug for my arthritis and avoid the dinners and groups.
Had a little fever and runny nose over Thanksgiving and got out my stash of Zstack. Good stuff
I did not take the vaccine. It was experimental, and I am not high risk. I do not like to take drugs as is.
This nation is far too pill/drug happy as is. Never one to go along to get along.
My husband and I are both pure bloods. I feel sorry for all the people that were talked into taking an experimental drug. We just decided that the vaccine was not for us. God works in mysterious ways.
I have not had a “vaccine” since I was 5 and with my parents and family entered a specific church and religion that frowned on it and taught us that God made our wonderful bodies and immune systems to withstand viruses and so forth. And once you get something your body begins building natural immunity. I have continued these teachings and principles into my adulthood and senior years. I am in the long held religious beliefs category.
We used alcohol for medicinal purposes and other natural remedies. Hot toddies are great for all that ails you and you can make your own cough syrup.
I would not let my offspring to be “vaxxed” and have long fought a system that wants you to bow down to “medicine” and “medical doctors” and any number of advocates who want to push their agendas on me and mine. And it was used against me by evil people regarding my offspring. People who allegedly care more than me/us about what goes into our bodies.
I had the China/Fauci Virus in Nov/Dec 2019, long before we knew it was a thing. It kicked my butt then and for a long time I dealt with the after effects, but I built immunity and even if I had believed differently, I would never have interfered with that. I believe I also weathered Omicron and a recent bought with a pretty bad flu or another strain of the China virus. And all naturally. No drugs and no special horse pills, etc.
I can only pray that many people’s eyes have been opened to the whole “vax/pharma” industry, and the fact that the FDA and the CDC and the NIH and all of their local tools are nothing but liars and thieves.
I can assure you that all other “vaxxes” are just as bad for your bodies and have brought disease and calamity to our world. Hopefully many people see now that the truth about many drugs is being hidden from you, and the harms are way, way, way under reported because doctors are lazy. And while reporting is allegedly required, there is obviously no penalty for their lapse in this very vital and lifesaving record keeping (VAERS).
I have known two people in my life to have serious and damaging effects from flu shots. Life and death effects. One was paralyzed for close to two years, the other had grand mal seizures and Guillain-Barr syndrome. The 2nd one is lucky to be alive.
P.S. One of my China Virus symptoms has never gone away and it drives me crazy. It is a type of tinnitus, with what sounds like radio frequencies in my ears. High pitched and constant. I really miss quiet time.
I feel like a shell you might find on a beach that you can listen to.
Try lipoflanoids for tinnitus. They are OTC supplements that really work.
Helped me for years.
Thanks, Seneca. I’m having the same issue post-covid as two-laine. It really was a bioweapon, I believe. I also think possibly it’s exacerbated being around injected people.
TY, I will do that pronto.
Since I was sick this last time, at Thanksgiving, I have also been experiencing a occasional popping in my left ear.
Forgot to mention . I have been having excess ear wax. Might be causing your popping. Got a ear cleaning kit. Use a mix of hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar with warm water. Amazing how much crud I flush out.
I have had tinnitus all my life. Born with a high tone loss. I have learned to live with it. Hot or warm showers helps some. Quiet noise helps. Hope you can find some relief.
Interesting. I have never encountered anyone who had serious nor life-threatening effects from actual(!) vaccines. Which this is most-decidedly not.
I also had a past drug reaction and was told in the emergency room to keep taking it. Sister in law had a reaction to varicella to go to nursing school. Doctors refused to acknowledge it was that vaccine. They don’t want to admit their life’s work is poison. This is long before covid non tested death jabs were available. I would hazard to guess that very few drug reactions are ever reported properly. I was afraid of being maimed by the experiment. I had already decided no more vax for me.
Nothing says TRUST ME, IT’S SAFE AND EFFECTIVE more than hiding the trial test results for 75 years.
Or changing the definition of a VACCINE.
Wore a mask twice only. One to vote for President TRUMP a second time, our TRUE PRESIDENT, the best President in my lifetime of over half a century, and the other for a haircut.
Never bowed to any of the alleged “testing” either. Another totally b.s. antic.
As to blood family, I couldn’t care less. My parents are deceased, sibs deserted me a long time ago, my offspring is an ODD B…. because of their enabling, and the only thing I care about is my grands. I think, based on his writings, my oldest grand did not take it. The youngest I do not know, but I pray every day his parental unit was not that stupid, since they were not raised that way, and all the signs were there to distrust it if they were paying any attention at all. Maybe they even got smart all of a sudden and realized I was right all along. Doubtful.
I did not get the shot. I felt something just wasn’t on the level, and went with my instincts.
My job was also threatened at the time, and still did not get vaxxed. Most I worked with did for their own reasons. I’ve since retired and soon to be 65.
I also don’t get the Flu shot. Never got COVID, nor the Flu. Not sure if it’s because I don’t get the shots, or my immune system. either way, no shots for me.
The fact that it was completely untested was a no go right off the bat. Later probably the biggest reason we did not take the shot (nearly no one in mine or my wife’s family did) is that there was such a massive pressure campaign right from the get-go that it made us all very suspicious.
I didn’t take it because 1) COVID 1984 was CLEARLY a scam to terrify people so massive numbers of fake votes could be cast in 2020 through “mail in” ballots 2) I NEVER have gotten a flu shot so why would I get a rushed through fake vaxx 3) I NEVER do anything everyone else is doing. I’m 74 and lived through the 60’s BS never smoked weed or matched about anything. I’m pretty sure MOST people my age got it those tired old lefties 😂 ALL followers
There’s a scene from the Star Trek movie “The Search For Spock” where the great Christopher Lloyd, as Captain Krughe, holds hostage the young Spock and the Vulcan First Officer. Kirk implores him, “You’ve got me. Now let the boy and the woman go!”
Krughe responds vehemently, “No!”
Kirk, puzzled, asks, “Why not?”
Krughe says, “Because you wish it!”
That is why I didn’t get poked. Because they wished it.
Forgot that scene. “Luv it.” 🤡
“Whatever The Government™ tells you to do: Don’t!”
Originally, before what we knew about it, it was because the government was unanimously telling us we should all do it. and that was really suspicious. Out of no where, suddenly every branch, every media outlet all of a sudden singing the same tune, the cringey songs, the shifty lack of information on everything. Watching people get cancelled for offer alternative therapeutics was really suspicious as well, especially when they dragged Trump for it.
Then we started to hear about the consequences more and more. the side effects, the method it uses to affect its purposes. it was all way too sketchy and we all agreed that we would not get it, come what consequences may.
I was having trouble with a heart valve. Before it was replaced, nearly any one of the reported side effects of the shot could have killed me. Discretion is the better part of valor!
I have psoriasis, an autoimmune disease. I take a biologic to treat my symptoms (like Cyndi Lauper). People like me were excluded from the trials. I decided to wait until there were trials for us. There never were any, most likely because they already knew the results. Very quickly anecdotal evidence showed the jabs resulted in flairs of autoimmune conditions for some people and caused biologics to stop working. Now that the truth is known about the jabs, hell no. Psoriasis is a curse, but for one time in my life it was a blessing.
So if you were working and they were mandating the vax, would your condition be a valid reason for exemption?
The threats they made and actually instituted in some states, like no going to restaurant or theater without the vax and constantly talking about no-fly list for unvaxxed seemed like it would be impossible to enforce against people with valid reasons like yours – and many many more.
Not in NY. No medical exemptions.
Vitamin D, Turmeric, Fish Oil …
My initial and foundational reason for not getting injected was because of the use of fetal cells in the testing or manufacture. This was non-negotiable for me. I remember how sickened I was to learn the rubella vaccine given to some of my children used fetal cells. I never trusted vaccines after that.
I was put to the test when the monoclonals first came out for covid because they seemed effective, but then I learned they had fetal cell involvement, so that was a definite “no,” also. I decided we would have to trust in God, doing all we could (follow FLCCC protocol, etc. )but no monoclonals.
My spouse has comorbidities, so when we all inevitably caught covid (we made it a long time on the prophylactic protocols) in January of 2022, it was tough. He ended up with silent hypoxia we were able to treat at home with some cobbled together medical professional help, but it was scary. Nevertheless, we did not regret not taking the injections. Pretty quickly we could discern that the unrelenting push for them by media, the government, etc. was indicative more was going on than met the eye. And, when it was being trial ballooned to not treat the “unvaccinated”— well, it became even more obvious something evil was happening.
I am thankful to God for the voices here and elsewhere in alternative media who got through the censorship with vital information; when President Trump mentioned the possibility of hydroxychlorquine and was ridiculed for it, I knew there actually could be effective therapeutics.
I always thought the masks were ridiculous and wouldn’t wear one, even when I was the only one not doing so. I find them even more abhorrent now as an affront to human dignity.
Finally, my parish priest was so wonderful in doing everything possible to give us access to the Sacraments however he could. I could at least go to Mass (when they were allowed to start up again) and see others at church (by no means all) who didn’t fall for the mask propaganda. Our priest never acted scared. He was always gently reassuring and lived that way. He would go to the hospital and anoint people. So, my parish was the place I was reassured, along with here and a few other sites, that I wasn’t alone in my views, even if those views were the minority opinion for awhile.
Oh! And I only caught minimal mainstream media. Occasional peeks (like to catch the weather forecast) appalled me with the fear mongering and lack of balance. I could see why consumers of it, though, were so crazy. Discretion is sorely lacking by too many.
When every stupid ad on tv had people I masks I lost it.
My reason for not getting the jab was two reasons.
1. The rush to market.
2. I did not,and do not,trust the drug companies.
Bongino? Is that you again?
I just didn’t have any trust in it. There was no testing done on it and there was no data and I was never all that afraid of Covid. What terrified me was the mass hysteria and the willingness of people I personally know to go along with the lockdown. All the stay home save lives banners on people’s Facebook profiles made me sick. I knew the whole thing was a big psyop almost from the very beginning. I knew it was a scam. And then when they were so adamant about the vaccine I was like no way
I feel so foolish and vulnerable as I did take the first two shots. Ive spent a year or more following Naomi Wolf and Dr Malone and others and like I said, I feel like a fool.
We had vacations planned and were fearful we would not be able to fly as well as, my wife is in healthcare and was mandated. Once she took it, I decided I only have finite years left and I did not want my options to live limited. Hindsight, completely selfish and wrong reasons for taking the jab.
That said, I feel like I dodged a bullet as I have had no ill effects. Bypassed the flu shot this year and last year, something I had taken for 10 years. I may never take another jab and have lost all respect for the medical profession.
Don’t feel like a fool. You are not alone. This out-of-control government was and is a real threat to our freedoms. Several people took the vax because of these threats and those who threatened us to take an unproven medical product should be in jail. Starting with “Just get vaccinated!!!” fake President Biden.
I’ve been wondering for some time what the thalidomide of our generation would be. A radical new technology applied in haste seemed like a good candidate.
I was a young girl during the Thalidomide tragedy. My sister had 2 babies during that time but thankfully never took that drug. Can you imagine what would have happened if they had MANDATED that drug?
Thalidomide was touted as “safe and effective” without testing, and I lost a cousin to it – after he endured fifty years of hell.
That’s so awful… there are no words.
Sadly a lot of people are ignorant of Thalidomide. I learned about it in organic chemistry classes. Most Americans don’t read anymore and they know so little of history that they mind as well just live in a vacuum.
Everything from the jump with Covid was lies. When I saw ivermectin and hydroxychlorequine being marginalized and doctors making headway with treating Covid being shunned, big red flag for me. No vaccine for me, my wife and three children. We have all never had Covid. We did get a little pushback from family and friends. But that’s all changed now. Many wished they did what we did.
I listened early on to Sherri Tenpenny MD stating this vax is a perfect killing machine. That was all I needed to know!!
I am amazed how much more I know about all this covid stuff than my friends who have children in the profession.
As an RN my critical thinking skills alerted me to many inconsistencies that defied everything I had learned. As an American I was suspicious of anything my government insisted I do. Gut feeling told me we were being lied to.
Amen, sister RN. I felt the same way and refused the CMS mandate in October 2021 and retired.
Didn’t take the jab in spite of constant pressure.
First warning was the Diamond Princess at the start of covid panic where 3700 people were crammed into quarters and not allowed out of cabins, with central air and heating and only 20% actually got sick with very few deaths .. and majority were elderly. This was a perfect situation for thorough analysis but no one was interested ..,HUGE red flag being wary of authority.
Then came the incessant propaganda , then HCL and much later ivermectin banning. Discovered Dr. Zelenko .. may he rest in peace .. who pointed to off the shelf remedies. I never got covid even though most of my family who were jabbed got covid twice.
Forgot to mention that a big reason for my initial caution was a study of early mRNS shots performed on animals after the original SARS outbreak. In that study , in which Fauci was either involved or cognicent , most of the animals died after being injected.
Also at that time (2003 SARS oubreak) chloroquine was identified as an effective treatment , which confirmed my understanding of the hydroxychloroquine and invermectin by media/gov propaganda to treat them as poison.
Reminds me of that big baby of a Navy Officer who refused to sail out of fear of the virus amongst a ship full of healthy young men.
In the ‘90’s, the constant drumbeat to get vaccinated for various flu strains started to make me think of Jonestown. The shots were not real effective, but the PSA’s were constant. I felt like we were being set up for some Kool Aid later on. Democrats seem to have been playing the long game on this. That was also when they innocently changed “sex” to “gender” on government forms. Another long game.
I could smell the bullshit from day one. The news became ultra fake, Democrats got in line behind the power derived from the lock downs, and I didn’t have to for my job. I am always the first one in the buffet line, and the last one in the “trust government” line. I worked in government, I ought to know.
It was inability to trust CDC, FDA, Governess, state and local health authorities, and worst of all professional health societies and doctors – across the board. The medical community has permanently lost my trust. Most of those cowards refused to stand up and live their oath. Dr Peter McCullough is another hero. He stood up to be counted and they couldnt shut him up. My own Dr, who once had the nerve to scold me to put my mask back on, will never again put a needle in my arm.
1) The number of people dying ‘from’ covid was not believable.
2) The probability of someone dying from covid was extremely small for almost every age group. Therefore, there was no real benefit and way too much risk.
3) I was teleworking 100%.
4) The government/media/Big Tech were lying for 5 years about Trump and going after him.
5) I knew it was all political and not based on science.
6) No way could the government identify in 3 days the blueprint for the genetic modifications to whatever organism.
The blueprint for the genetic modifications came from the CCP.
7) The government changed the definition of vaccine two weeks before the mandate.
8) Pfizer/Moderna/Government intentionally eliminated the control group. They told those who got a placebo that they need to get the real stuff since covid was so dangerous. We know the real reason. Eliminating the control group destroyed all evidence.
9) The government approved ‘Comirnaty’ but would not make that available. Complete bullcrap and red flag. Bait and switch.
10) The government exempted Big Pharma, CDC, FDA, postal employees, congress, and white house employees from the mandate.
11) Thalidomide. Swine Flu. 70% of Drugs the FDA approves are later pulled from the market.
12) The government was not doing autopsies of people who died from covid.
13) The average age of someone dying from covid was 84 and had 4 comorbidities on average.
14) Governments closed churches and small businesses but allowed alcohol, smoke/vape, and prostitution businesses.
15) The made-up and ridiculous 6-foot social distance.
16) The same idiot government saying masks work for an airborne virus.
17) No one can locate one bat with coronavirus.
18) The omicron variant had pieces of mouse DNA. Mice cannot get covid unless they have human cells injected into them. Omicron was not a natural variant of covid. That means omicron was another lab leak.
19) BLM protests were exempt from lockdowns during a supposed pandemic. Oh, sure … That makes no sense.
20) I did my research on vaccines and almost all of them are total bullcrap including the polio vaccine.
21) Big Pharma and the government requested to keep the data hidden for 75 years.
22) The insert for the covid shot was blank with no warnings.
23) Social media and governments pimping the jab with moronic ads and offers like free fast food and lottery tickets.
24) Moderna never had one product to reach the market until covid. Sure, they just hit the powerball on a virus in the same family as the common cold. You would have to be a complete moron to believe that.
25) There has been no successful animal trial of any mRNA vaccine. All have ended with the whole group dying when integrating both the vaxxed and unvaxxed.
26) Man knows so little about the complicated immune system. Even less (almost nil) about DNA, mRNA, tRNA.
27) Doctors were muzzled by the AMA. If they said anything counter to CDC/FDA guidance, they would lose their license.
28) DNA, mRNA, and tRNA are the realm of God and man has no business playing around there right now. Maybe after a couple thousand years of research, but not now.
29) The powers that be recommended getting the jab even if one had covid before. Total bullcrap for any illness. Any doctor who tells you that is a lying sack of crap. Run from that quack.
30) This spike venom does not stay in the deltoid muscle but goes throughout the body, into the germ line (ovaries and testes) and breaks the blood-brain barrier. Vaccines are never, ever to do that. That is a huge red flag and immediate stop.
31) If one were to design a bio-weapon, it would have all the unnatural markings of the spike proteins at all the expected locations. which it does.
32) Doctors and nurses on the front line did not die of covid. Greatest pandemic in 100 years and not one doctor or nurse on the frontline died from covid. Let that sink in.
33) 1200+ People died in the first few months (90 days) of the jab. Pfizer hired 600-1200 people to log all the adverse reactions.
34) PCR tests should never be used as a clinical diagnosis. Especially with PCR tests at 36+ cycles (magnification).
35) Social media fact checkers (anonymous idiots) censoring Nobel laureates and real doctors.
36) I am not stupid.
I could go on and on. Bottom line: I am an electrical engineer who knows how to look at data and has logic and common sense. I know when people are blowing smoke and trying to sell snake oil.
Great list! I also began to think “If it’s as contagious and transmissable as they say, all the grocery store workers would be simultaneously ill.”
Well done, I had about 16 reasons but only listed one. You went all out. 🙂
Also CS and EE … I think a lot of these pharma types are not particularly bright. They don’t think in systems terms and they don’t seem to consider secondary impacts of interventions.
Exactly. No way Big Pharma could even fathom 2nd, 3rd, and 4th order effects of an mRNA-based gene therapy never before tried on humans. One human gene does not do one function. Genes do many functions and the functions are not known. DNA, mRNA, and tRNA are almost a completely unknown complex system of indeterminate systems all interwoven in a tangled web and communicating in a secret code.
Totally forgot about those PCR tests with the ridiculously high cycle counts… obviously to drive up cases, which terrorized people.
Had the China Wuhan Lung Rot.. early in the summer of 2021&therefore was provided natural immunity.
Unfortunately, my employer denied that aspect of human immunological reality and demanded all employees be “VACCINATED” by Dec 8 2021. That grotesque level of coercion.. the assertion of the illogical demand.. the intimidation.. together with the tyrannical decisions of this regime… and the highly dubious nature of “the vaccine”… all forced my early retirement rather than submitting to a “kangaroo court” evaluation of any offered religious accommodation I might submit or being forced to have a unwanted medical procedure.
IT is your duty&responsibility to ignore-resist-deny any illegal/unlawful order.. that’s the asterisk that follows the command to “…obey all orders of those senior to me…”
Semper Fi
“Semper Fi?” Thank you for your service.
why did I not take the jab???
One word Trust……I have none for the government..none for the medical folks.
If nothing else, being on this site has reinforced the knowledge that one needs to do their own research and make up their own minds, not just play follow the leader. I left the MSM a long time ago, and your site has just reinforced that – to me. I’ve always been an extremely independent person, and as I get older, I find I’m more stubborn that I thought I was. Nobody has ever really changed my mind once it has settled, and I did enough research to know it was MY own mind that decided, not someone else. Happened to have a good doctor also, who never tried to push me into taking all the medicinal stuff that they push on older people. It just didn’t feel right after all the “panic” the MSM tried to push. I’m retired, I’m old, have several health issues, but my health issues were very minor (IMO). They had ever caused me illness or danger, so why did I need to take the poke? My son, he needed to work, so he got his shot, his girl friend also needed to work, so she took the shot. I was not out in the world as much as they were…in fact barely bothered to even go shopping, so I decided to remain a “pure blood”. Every person I knew or heard about that got the poke, got sick. I haven’t been sick even one day since they started pushing it..yet i’m the one they keep pushing it on because I’m diabetic (type 2 and never hadhigh numbers when I bothered to test, but the SS only allowed it once a day, and I’d heard it should be done before and after each meal, and couldn’t afford that, and decided it must not be such a big thing after all, so I just watched and listened and read more…..I’m still a “pure blood” I’m still not getting sick but did take care of the sick son because he didn’t have the means of taking care of himself (he’s almost ready to retire also) so he isn’t young. Still not getting sick, not wearing a mask like some are, and I’m still doing all my own shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry. I feel so fortunate to have found this place when I did, almost 10 years ago.
With you and your information and all the long timers here (especially) there is more information than one can acknowledge. I want to thank you for this site. It is the only one I pay attention to daily. THANK ALL OF YOU FOR ALL OF THE INFORMATION AND INSIGHT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE.
Seeing both Fauci and Dr. Brix flip flop often – no need for masks, then wear masks – led me to believe they were just winging it. My local Publix had arrows where you could only walk one direction down an aisle. I did my own due diligence and felt the vax was very rushed and I believed the mRNA was unproven as a bad. Then Dr. Malone was not in favor of it. As time went on and seeing the efficacy percentage dropping.
I have my own business and was not forced to take it. I eventually got Covid – omicron. Fortunately, it was a minor experience. I knew something was very wrong with how the hospital protocol to treat Covid was itself a death sentence.
As the pressure mounted to wear masks I became more and more against complying. Became further entrenched with seeing how useless the masks were at my child’s school. Then Biden did the mandates and I vowed I would never take it.
No jab for the missus or myself.
Reason?
1- There has never been a “vax” of this nature that was successful.
2- Ivermectin works.
3- Little risk of death even if doing nothing. (We’re in our 60s)
I’m a portly 70 year old. Never took the jab and don’t intend to.
Numbers/percentages never matched the intense lunacy to coerce my wife and me to get it.
Sadly it did negatively affect some family bonds. Not by me as we never changed. We were never fearful. Cautious yes, diligent yes, respectful yes, but never afraid.
Both of us caught it twice. Different from flu, but handled it relatively well.
Lost all faith in standard medical care when I called in for a monoclonal treatment and lo and behold, the gubmint got to it first. Sad really.
I took the jab and it is the most regrettable choice I ever made. Nothing else comes in as a close second. It was my fault for succumbing to the pressure but that does not take anyone off the hook who did not know anything about viral infections yet thought they knew what was best for me. Self-disgust at giving in does not begin to cover my regret.
I am a teacher and have known since 2007 that vaccines are solely responsible for the autism epidemic. The warp speed covid vaccine was a non-starter for me. I have never regreted my decision for even a nanosecond. I just had covid for the first time. Was pretty sick for a few days. Took HCQ and NAC. All better now.
Vaccines and autism are irrevocably tied together. My son had a very mild form. Sensory integration dysfunction. Early 1980’s
I have been wondering why my own generation, which got only the DPT and smallpox vaccination did not see a similar upsurge in what is now called autism. My only thought is that it is either something about the MMR and/or various other vaccines that are more recent.

World expert on vaccines for decades.
A patriot as well.
I’m not vaxed. I finally tested positive this summer. Cold and flu symptoms, chills. Never had breathing difficulty. Several weeks of fatigue before I got stronger.
I believe hanging around CTH and other related corners of the web creates deeper, more cautious analytical thinking. After all we already had several years of CTH articles proving that we can’t trust the government. A biggie for me was the propaganda video of people falling dead in the streets of China juxtaposed with it’s racisss to stop flights from China, it didn’t compute. Then the hilarious one way traffic patterns in stores.
A couple years earlier my family took me to the doctor because I wasn’t well. Turns out I had a huge pulmonary embolism. Doctor said we usually don’t see people like you standing. I was admitted to the ICU immediately. After that I just take good care of my diet and health and don’t want to see doctors and hospitals.
We didn’t have any trouble with family who got the vax, they just didn’t want family get togethers regardless of vax status.
Early in the pandemic Candace Owens noticed they were cooking the case data in NY. That made me realize something was out of order like 9-11. By the time the vax came around my distrust was in overdrive. When they really started to push the vax we knew it was a sham. Magnetic arms added to the weirdness. Finally, when they wouldn’t disclose what was in the jab we knew something was amiss.
Follow a list of conservative media. Knew about Event 201 and WEF/WHO and their quest to depopulate. Early in listened to doctors Bahkdi, Zelensky and others. Work for the feds and was put under the mandate. Requested religious exemption and have still never heard what they determined and I am still not vaccinated nor is anyone in our household. Created some rifts with family early on, but those have diminished. Best decisions we ever made to NOT take the death jabs.
