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.
Pretty easy for me. I was already an “anti-vaxxer”, having done the research when I found out they wanted to vaccinate my first-born against Hep B the day he was born. I happened to know a bit about Hep B, and knew he was at no risk whatsoever, so my protective instincts kicked in and I refused. Then I started thinking…if the whole medical establishment is pushing this thing that is an obvious nonsense (and which my reading had established had significant risk attached), then…why the hell would I trust them about all the other shots they wanted to give him.
My reading established that the risk clearly outweighed the benefit with ALL their vaccines.
Note that I’m a life-long medical professional, who had never thought to question vaccines up until this point.
When this one came along, the first thing they did was grant blanket liability protection to all involved. Just like the childhood vaccines. I didn’t need to hear anything more after that, it was blindingly obvious there was malevolence involved.
All the reading I did on it, both before and after that, confirmed my decision. I was close to losing my job and career, but in the end the (very large) company I worked for offered no-questions-asked religious exemptions to all employees. I had made my peace with losing both, but I got lucky, unlike many others.
A decision I am very, very glad to have made. My three boys remain unvaccinated in any way. And I have two friends dying from turbo-cancers right now, both vaccinated of course. One, very dear to me, had decided not to get the shot after I spent a long time talking to her about it. Than she did…to protect her aged grandparents who lived with her. She didn’t protect them at all, of course, and it looks like she threw her life away to do it. For that, I want revenge.
What a shame that people fell for that “do it to protect others” line.
Frankly, I felt safer around unvaxxed people, and still do.
Yes, it was a shame. I thought it was manipulative for the government to say to take the jab to “protect others.” Like they were trying to give people a guilt trip. Fortunately, I don’t guilt easily, and I knew that I can help others if I can make sure I am healthy, and there was no guarantee of safety with these experimental vaccines. I can’t help others if I’m sick and disabled.
I agree, sunnydaze…however, I will argue that the populace is not overall concerned with “protecting others” but rather an attempt for attention. Many may care…but…
especially when I consider how people act to protect others….on the highways at high rates of speed, in their cars. Or how they would plow into you with their shopping cart….or not looking both ways before crossing the street. Or letting their children run around in stores and bumping into people, sometimes causing falls in the elderly…
Is that “protecting others”? That mantra works in a million different ways.
To me that is virtue signaling. But what do I know!!!

That’s where I found it…I’m glad!
I’m 83, and ended up taking the Pfizer jab. I wish now that I hadn’t, even though I don’t think I suffered any ill effects from it. The main reason for this is that i believe I have a great immune system, largely based on the fact that I’ve never had the flu and never had a flu shot, and that I’m generally more active and healthy than a lot of people my age or younger.
I’m a pretty strong conservative, and I should have paid more attention to the information that was available to me in March 2020, when I had the shots.
I am not anti-vax, however, when my children were born, I delayed their immunizations. I was a stay-at-home mom, so no day care, and no reason imo to rush to get any injections. I really had a problem with introducing anything foreign into these perfect little beings. My kids never got the ‘new’ ones. Only the basics for school entry.
Many years later COVID hit. I am not the kind of person that panics or has knee-jerk reactions, but this was a bit harder to resist to be honest.
I was ‘essential’ and my adult daughter who lived with me was an EMT at the time. We masked, social distanced, and sanitized everything we brought into the house. I think my daughter was concerned for me more than anything at that time. She saw first-hand what COVID could do to a person, many times over, and I lost an uncle to it. (Almost his wife as well) Even with all this, I did not trust the shot.
I never jump on the ‘new and improved’ things so I guess it’s just built into me.
The constant changes in what the ‘right’ things to do sent off alarms in me. The powers that be didn’t have a clue as to what they were dealing with or how to handle it. It was apparent they were making things up as they went along.
I could literally see it becoming more about politics and money than our lives. They were destroying whatever faith I had in the CDC, WHO, NIH, and the medical field in general.
One of the things I disagreed with vehemently with Trump on was the vaccine. It was too rushed. Too new. I would never trust it the way it came about. I had to decide between two fears, and my fear of the shot won.
My daughter and I were both blessed to be working for companies that dont mandate the shot and we never got it. In fact, no one in my immediate family except for my elderly mom has gotten it.
I have lived in a household with 5 people wherein 2 got COVID, but I did not, and haven’t to date and I have had firsthand exposure many times. Of the two who got it one’s symptoms were like a cold, but the other was bedridden for days and it took about 2 months for complete recovery.
I’m thankful to God for putting enough ‘don’t tell me what to do’ attitude in me to resist.
“I’m thankful to God for putting enough ‘don’t tell me what to do’ attitude in me to resist.”
Same here!
I am an 86 year old French born woman. Back in my day in France you had to have about 4 vaccines at some point before attending school. and after those you were done for life with vaccines.
As an American citizen now for the past 56 years I have never taken any vaccine or flu shot. So I was not going to start taking a so-called vaccine that is experimental and I did not fear Covid because my family had Ivermectin handy.
They got the Covid but used the Ivermectin and recovered quickly. I isolated for a while in my mother-in-law place and never got it perhaps due to regular intake of Quercetin and plenty of zinc, vitamin D and other natural supplements.
Later after we knew more about the “Vax” dangers we were even more determined never to take any mRNA shot/boosters anything no matter what.
Furthermore the Covid/Vax business pushed us over the edge to finally leave California to relocate in a conservative Mid-Western State with no Covid hysteria and very low vaxxed population.! It was a very good decision as we now own a house on 6 acres and are much more self-sufficient: big garden; 24 chickens; 3 rabbits and soon one or 2 small meat cows in the pasture! By God’s grace we did it and left the “Blue Hive” as Mat Bracken so recommends!
Matt reads here, you know!
I guess my immediate response is, why would I? I could fill up the rest of your space listing, to coin a phrase, “Lies my government told me”, during my 66 years. Most people who frequent this space probably get that – the lies are legion. “Safe and effective”? Really? After what? Two weeks of testing? Early on, Candace Owens used to do these clever, comedic little vignettes on line. I wanted someone like her to do a skit where a woman (just because) tries to convince someone to take the vaccine, first asking nicely, then cajoling, then becoming angry, then threatening, then humbled, apologizing and coming back with, “Look, we got off on the wrong foot…” Then resorting to bribery, then invoking “community – do it for the kids.” Finally, she would call her prey “selfish”, then scream and threaten again. Why? Because that’s how our various governments acted during that period, and some still do. And the more they cajoled, threatened, begged, bribed, and guilted, the easier it was to know that the LAST thing I was going to do was take that damned jab. And now it turns out that it WAS the last thing a lot of people did.
Side note: I am reading a book called “Witness”, about the Alger Hiss affair. All I can say is that there is no new thing under the sun, and while history does not repeat, it sure as hell does rhyme. The lines are the same, the teams are the same, the stakes are the same. It’s the press and the elites vs. all the rest of us. Oh, and very few of you will get this, but I can see now that Robert Malone is the Whittaker Chambers of our day. Read the book – you’ll get it. Both were right, both are heroes, we owe both a great deal. God bless.
Why didn’t I take the jab? I have several reasons. For one thing, on principle alone, I don’t think the government has the right to impose any form of medical treatment on me. I am willing to resist any such demand of government with lethal force. That’s not a threat or any such thing, but a mere statement of fact. Just as I would not accept the assault of a felon, neither would I accept a compulsory “vaccination.”
Another reason is that I read extensively about the development of these vaccines. I had serious doubts about their effectiveness. More, while I love President Trump, his seemingly incredible coincidence of having just the wrong person at the wrong time in a subordinate position during his presidency was apparent to me. More, I don’t trust ANYBODY who’s been working for government for 30-40 years(Fauci, for instance) because I’ve seldom seen a gov’t employee who has served more than 20 years who was worth a damn.
I forget who originated the phrase, but it was February 2020 when I turned to a co-worker and declared: “If it happens in an election year, it’s about the election.” I was talking about the outbreak of COVID19, of course, but from that moment forward, I knew what was likely to happen. They were going to get rid of Trump by any and all means necessary.
By the time of the “two weeks to stop the spread,” I knew it was all BS. ALL OF IT. Everything that came out of it would be BS or worse.
All my suspicions began to be confirmed. An elderly neighbor, coming home from visiting his wife who is in an assisted-living center, 94 years old, pulled out onto our 75mph highway into the path of a rock-hauling tractor-trailer. He was killed, dying at the scene, likely near instantly. The cause of death officially reported? Care to guess? You see, they swabbed his corpse at the scene, and scored him a COVID death. I recognized they were using greed of hospitals and related to drive stats to drive fear.
They knew how Trump would react. They knew they could get him to throw the kitchen sink at it, particularly facing re-election. They knew he’d press for vaccines. This was the Cabal(or whatever you wish to call them) pushing for him to be the instrument of their plot. It worked, and while they got rid of him in November, having deployed all available means, their immediate reversal on the prospects of and the sudden production of the “vaccines” was the tell. Suddenly, Kamelhoe was telling us to get the shot. A couple weeks before, she’d said she’d never trust “Trump’s Vaccines.” She wasn’t saying it because it would be good for us. Neither were Bubba, the Shrub, and the Traitor(but I doubly repeat myself), who they trotted out to urge us to get vaxed.
I view all of this as a color revolution. They’re marching the foot-soldiers in every days across our Southern border. By the millions. They didn’t mandate that THEY get vaxed. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines? Oh, yes, surely.
These people hate our country, and her people. If they tell me the air in my vicinity is pure, and that I should breathe deeply, I will hold my breath and evacuate the area as quickly as I can. If they tell me the food is good, I assume it’s poison. It’s really that simple. They hate us. They’ve wanted us gone for at least two or three generations.
So between the evidence I saw with my eyes, the intuition informed by years of experience, and I suppose my basic rebelliousness when people try to impose things due to their “authority,” whether legal, professional, or otherwise, I react adversely.
Fortunately, at about the time they started talking about “mandates,” our governor put out an order prohibiting that in our state, though it did not cover federal civilian or military. Either way, I’d have quit my job, lost everything, and gone hunting rather than take the jab. My wife felt the same.
Then came the “sudden deaths,” in some cases of people around us who we knew to be vaxed. Relatively young, healthy people. By then, we’d long resolved not to take them, and this was more reinforcement of the above.
Several years ago, I was severely injured by a medical procedure that was under limited approval by the FDA. I lived in agony for over two years, and most doctors would not treat me. It changed my life forever. I learned in my research that the FDA is corrupt, that the procedure should have never been allowed, that they don’t follow up when they do allow test procedures, and that you are on your own if something bad happens. I swore to myself I would never be a guinea pig again. I also learned never to trust the FDA, CDC and the like, because they lie and act like criminal enterprises. My employer had a vaccine mandate, too, but I refused the jab and submitted a religious exemption, which luckily they honored. But I was willing to lose my job over the mandate. My health was too important. And I knew the “safe and effective” mantra was a lie. As for those injured by the jab, my heart goes out to them. I know how they feel.
Im 33 and holding my 6 month old son. I did not take the shot.
I run in circles of old hippies, liberals, homesteaders and democrats. What many of those words mean today are very different than what I grew up understanding those words to mean.
I have always been hesitant toward medical procedures. Its not my disdain for needles going in me, I will get a poke when I have to, it’s the lack of a holisitic approach in Western medicine which has always made me wary. I treat myself and my family with herbal knowledge as much as I can, and balance it with the life saving medical marvels that do exist in Western medicine. This basis to my family’s medical stance made us question: why would we suddenly change how we approach medicine because of fear? Ive never jumped to take a new treatment before. Why would I change my behavior, which stems from a core belief, around medicine now?
This belief combined with a not fun experience the last time I had a traditional vaccine made me wary from the beginning.
We were cautious as the pandemic started, following the guidelines, wondering how bad it would get, going out to eat the last day restaurants were open feeling weird because we didnt know if it was a risky thing, and it was almost a toast to the end of normal.
When asked about the shot, a simple no would not suffice. It irritates me when complete strangers want to talk in depth about my health and my why. I was always taught that was personal and not something you share with strangers. My ‘Im not eligible”, turned to ‘Im going to wait and see’, turned to ‘theres questions about fertility’, to an explicit ‘Im planning to get pregnant and Im not willing to jepordiaze that by taking a medical experiment’.
I had a hard time not hanging up the phone when a dear friend told me the science was in and just to take it, after she had said she only sees people who are vaccinated(this friend is in her 70s and has had a history of medical issues putting her in the vulnerable group, so I respect her choice. But why couldnt she respect mine?), This friend is also someone who at the beg. of the pandemic still had us come visit her and we went out to that restaurant mentioned above. I specifically remember her saying at the time ‘you’re healthy, I’m healthy, you should still come visit’. This was the week the first case was found in Seattle and we were in the same state.
I missed a good friends wedding because it was have a vax pass or wear a mask (at an outdoor weekend event) a rule they made, the mandates were gone. I had a strong suspicion I would be the only one made to wear a mask so I made an excuse and didnt go. I didnt want to attend and feel this pressure, and perhaps lose my resolve, or spend the whole weekend talking about vaccines and not just enjoying the gathering.
When my aunt called to congratulate me on being pregnant, in the same breath she asked if i would get the vaccine now? I said a firm ‘Im absolutely not getting it now.’If i didnt before it made less sense now. Once I was pregnant people pretty much left me alone about the jab and for the most part respected my decision.
My husband, 30, suffered a lot more pressure to get the jab at work. He used many of the same lines I did. He would be told, if he just got it then we could go back to normal sooner. Or ‘its going to be mandated anyway, might as well get it now.’ He almost capitulated, didnt want to risk not being able to provide for our family. At that point I dug my heels in. I told him we would always find a way to pay our bills and he shouldn’t make that the reason to get it. The decision was ultimately up to him, but I supported him not getting it, and reminded him that we should never make a decision out of fear.
Hes glad now I was so stubborn in holding my ground, so he did too. He would have to wear a mask and get tested twice a week to go to work. (He works in construction) Someone with the vax pass could show up to work never mask, never test, and come in sick and not be asked to leave or at least take a test to make sure it wasnt the vid. The double standard was appaling. He would follow all the rules and still risk being forced to miss work for X amount of days if he got sick from someone else showing up sick but vaccinated.
The worst banishment from our decision was from a festival we volunteer at every year. The board decided only vaccinated people could set foot on the property, after two years of the event being closed, no medical or religous exemptions. Even after more info came out and the cdc was changing guidelines this festival would not change their new rule for the people who work there (which is a few thousand volunteers). they relaxed on festival goers and would accept a neg pcr test that was paid for, not an at home one. We told our crew we would love to come work if the rule was changed but we-re having a baby and not about to get vaccinated in order to go to the party. A party that has been happening for over 50 yrs and is considered a family reunion. We’ve been working there for 8 seasons. They replied good luck, and went their Merry way to the party without a backward glance. This year we could go back but dont want to. My husband feels too hurt. Everyone there this year, would have been ok with banishing all non-vaxxers last year because the party was more important than the ‘family’ and ‘free choice’. Makes me think all the ‘free love, free hugs, freedom of expression’ is really all hogwash and freedom is only acceptable if it ends in a feel good feeling for the loudest voices.
Now family and friends just dont talk about the subject. The past is dead. Any strange or bizarre behavior in the last few years is forgotten. Im the weirdo for wanting an apology.
Congratulations on the new addition to your family! As you reflect on how “they” clearly wanted to harm you and prevent his existence with these jabs, as the day speeds closer to send him off to school, remember that these same people will claim to hold his best interests when they try to “inject” his mind with what they term “education.” That “injection” will be no less poisonous, and will be delivered with no less malignant intent.
It truly sucks to be a parent in 2023. Best of luck to you and your family!
Sounds like you live in Washington, remember those of us that live here can home school. My daughter never thought she could but her son is doing great, he is 8 now and doing grade level work 2 grades higher than he is suppose to be in. In public school he would be bored, but at home he isn’t. She mixes math and science with baking and cooking also, seed starting and things like that. He is also turning into a great little gentleman.
Great post, you found out what those people are. Consider yourself lucky.
After listening to Dennis Prager’s interview with Dr. Vladimir Zelenko back in April 2020, I became suspicious of everything the government was telling us. (Dr. Zelenko, who has since passed on, not from Covid, developed the Zelenko protocol of hydroxychloroquine, zinc and azithromycin which apparently worked extremely well on the 1,400 or so patients he had treated. I then decided that a safer course of action would be to get a prescription for hydroxychloroquine and some zinc to be used if I became infected. I had no desire to be an experimental guinea pig for big pharma. Now I can be part of the control group.
Dr. Zelenko was brilliant and now a saint! His work continues through the foundation he set in motion.
Front Line Doctors were and still are active in the “push back, you uninformed , so-called medical professional” realm and are a wealth of information.
Truth still stands!
We stayed well using vitamins, anti-viral essential oils and got a bit of whatever was going around July of 2022. It was a twofer, antibodies and control group!
When Covid first appeared in early 2000 my only concern was would it mess up my planned trip to Vegas to celebrate my upcoming birthday in early March of that year. Also on the calendar were two cataract surgeries in January which would allow ample recovery time prior to the Vegas trip.
I left on time February 29, 2000. Somehow I scored two round trip nonstop flights from Austin, Texas for a measly $99 each way! The first flight was full but the return flight four days later was only half full which was an oddity to say the least and YES, I assumed that such was related to Covid.
When in Vegas I did not take any protective precautions and decided to depend on herd immunity. This worked for about ten months when I was informed by a friend that he had Covid about a week prior and that I should considered myself as exposed along with any others who were present at the time. Well, about a week later I came down with Covid and it was indeed nasty. I have no recollection of the first day but started to recover on the second day and about three days later I was back to my normal self. I got tested the following week and that was negative.
I came down with another bout exactly two weeks following the first attack and it took nearly four weeks to recover fully.
The vax became available shortly after beginning with the Pfizer vaccine but I was suspicious of the strict handling and shipping methods so I decided to wait until the Johnson & Johnson version, (that required no special handling), was released. But by then problems were now occurring with the Pfizer shots that dealt with heart health issues. Now I became a skeptic period. I remain unvaxxed and I will continue to follow the evidence which is quite clear regarding health related issues which seem to point in an attempt to reduce world population numbers.
You’re mileage may vary so thread carefully…
Jabbed with JNJ, they have updated their website and now advocate their own shot as a booster. They report their primary shot gives 8 months of immunity which explains a lot. They used to advocate an mRNA booster.
The site also hints at blood clots being a potential adverse reaction to their product. And Guillian Barre. Nothing new there.
That said…I found this at the end of one page of the website and I find that problematic as it refers to the potential of ‘forward statements’ based on the investment angles :
None of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies nor Johnson & Johnson undertakes to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information or future events or developments.
A long speil based on regulatory…The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
https://www.jnj.com/johnson-johnson-announces-data-to-support-boosting-its-single-shot-covid-19-vaccine
The push for this in children and babies is beyond ludicrous. I suspect there are an over abundance of un-used doses that must be used.
It is high time for Congress to come clean to the American people…and suffer the consequences of their treachery.
It has been high time to truly reform health care….slow the march to socialized medicine by way of ‘too big to fail’ health ‘systems’.
While serving in the National Guard, My unit was compelled to get a Swine Flu vax while it was still quite controversial.
Some how I managed to miss the mass company vaccination, but quickly was issued specific orders to report to a local military bas for my individual injection. Not long after that 60 Minutes had an expose on the negative effects of the swine flu injections. After this incident I swore that never again will the government impose such a violation on my body. I was further convinced regarding the Covid injection when I read about the technology used to produce these new shots. Being an Engineer by profession, I never will be the first to start using technology never before used in any incompletely tested products. How many pharma products have been approved for years that have been recalled for real severe side effects including death, cancer etc.? I would rather take Horse de-wormer which has a proven safety record!
The sickest I ever got was from a free flu shot at work. Peer pressure sux!
I couldnt get it. The Hep A vaccine gave me non Hodgkins lymphoma at the injection site. Tumors grew at both places and spread. Now have severe anaphylaxis from any vaccine. No more for me!
I don’t like needles.
Since the Viet Nam War I have known that the government lies about everything. From the first report of Wuhan Flu I knew President Trump was being bamboozled by the Deep State. Each day brought new propaganda from the corrupt CDC and the always-lying corporate media. Nonstop “Public Service Messages” added their typical propaganda . More and more facts emerged, like Fauci’s profit stake in the VAXX jab. Falsely calling it a “vaccine”. Then I go an email from my “scientist” brother hectoring the family with unfounded claims that the untested VAXX would “save millions of lives”. The Deep State at every level initiated mass fascism, coercion, hideous crimes. Despite all evidence children were poisoned with the VAXX and kept from school. It was all to destroy Trump and to use “health” as the tool of totalitarianism. And every VAXX/Mask/Lockdown pusher was a leftist. Leftist governors. leftist Election Thief. leftist Deep State bureaucrats, leftist health officials.
My wife knuckled under, but Thank God not my grown sons or me.
PS I am so proud of my son who resisted severe pressure and threats from his employer for 2 years and never knuckled under, and I hope soon he can tell that horrible company to go to hell.
I knew immediately too what this was about – they will do ANYTHING to stop Trump.
I’m currently age 64. I developed Auto Immune Disease from the one and only “Flu” shot I took 20 years ago. I was a healthy normal woman with no history of illness, never sick, never antibiotics, never hospital. I was talked into taking the government “Flu” shot by my employer. My health changed dramatically within the first year after the shot. I knew then I would never follow the governments recommendations for any medical advice again.
in 2021 my employer tried to force me to take the clot shot. I stood my ground and refused. I was threatened with loosing my job. I was forced to upload my vaccination status to the company website. My employer is a Globalist corporation, over 50k employees. So many of my coworkers have developed numerous side affects and many have had Covid, the flu, over and over. I developed the flu in early 2021 and have not been sick again, it’s called natural immunity. This will be my last year in the Globalist employment.
I was already reading independent media when Covid hit, and a lot of facts were clear right away: the huge skew of risk with age, the fact the the great majority who contracted Covid (even most oldsters, of which I’m one) get through it just fine, the near complete ineffectiveness of masks, the near zero chance of contracting the bug from passing someone on the street, the importance of good vitamin D levels, the efficacy of repurposed drugs, and the lunacy of the fantasy that the virus could be completely snuffed out by locking everyone down. When the vaxx arrived, I’d already read about previous tries with mRNA concoctions, where all the test animals showed great antibody response (yay!), then died when exposed to the actual virus (oops!), so I was less than eager to get in line. Very soon the VAERS data raised HUGE red flags, which cemented my decision to be pureblood.
Yes, that’s pretty much my experience. Brand new type of vaccine, problems with mRNA vaccines in the past, conflicting fatality data, a bit of suspicion about the origin and efforts being used, etc. It all added up to waiting for more information, and that additional information clearly said “don’t take it”.
I like to say, “I had Covid, before Covid was cool.” While Covid was just beginning to become the hysteria that resulted in idiocy, I came down with an illness, the likes of which I had never had. This was in January ’20. Started out like so many colds I had come down with before, body aches, slightly elevated temperature, some fatigue. By day 2, I had developed a very annoying cough, the body aches and slight fever were gone, to be replaced by bone numbing fatigue. The cough remained. I don’t get chest colds. I get head colds. Always have. The cough was something that didn’t fit. As was the fatigue. I worked through all of this. Carpenter by trade, I found myself short of breath at times on the job, and while walking my dog. But, I worked through it.
Then, Covid burst on the scene in mid to late February. They were beginning to stack bodies in Italy, China was a mess, and the first inklings of data started to become known. The lockdowns in Europe began, and I noticed something. I noticed that in places where lockdowns were happening, the death rate was highest. Especially in Italy, where multi-generational families live together. Common sense told me that someone leaving those closed in areas to go get supplies and food, could easily bring a “highly contagious” virus back home with them. I also noticed the death rates of the old and infirm. As time went on, and America slipped into “15 days to flatten the curve”, I noticed data coming in from around the world. And the data didn’t match what the “experts” were trying to get us to do. If I could see it, why couldn’t they?
Then, I began to notice who they were trying to silence. And why. I paid attention to what was supposedly “science”, and what wasn’t. I’m old enough to remember when science was actually spirited debate, and competing ideas went head to head until one was proven correct and the other was wrong. And this wasn’t happening. My suspicions grew. I also noticed how petty tyrants were growing up around me like weeds in a vacant lot. All of this “do this, not that” had given many insignificant people a license to make themselves significant by telling others what they should, and should not, do. The Mania was firmly in place.
Then, the “vaccine” burst on the scene. I had already had Covid, I knew I had natural immunity, no way was I going to risk that with a jab. Oddly, though, natural immunity to the “experts” wasn’t even talked about and if it was, it was dismissed out of hand. My suspicions grew even more. I noticed the marketing campaign behind the jab. “Shots in arms.” “Don’t be a coward, it’s just a needle.” “Think of those around you, don’t be selfish.” And on and on. Aggressive not just in the way it was rolled out, but in THE LANGUAGE THEY USED. Very creepy. And, corny as it sounds, a Twilight Zone episode – one of the most famous – “To Serve Man” popped into my mind as I watched the news stories, the public service spots and so on. Something wasn’t right. I wasn’t buying into the “mass die off” aspects yet, but there was something decidedly creepy about what was going on. I told my adult kids not to get the jab, and definitely not the grandkids – they didn’t need it. Something was very wrong with all of this.
Now, a couple years removed from the original rollout, I’m grateful to God for the common sense He gave me. My daughter, who had an arterial bypass in her leg as a young adult due to a birth defect, had gotten the jab to make it easier for her to “do things, like concerts, and go out to eat, etc”, now was having problems with numbness in her foot on that leg. My brother, who was fully vaxxed and boosted, developed liver issues. I’m watching the growing number of people dropping dead. And realize something is very, very, wrong. And I also realize those pushing these jabs knew it all along.
To serve man. I just watched that again a couple of weeks ago and it’s the irony of it that’s gets you. In this version of to serve man, instead of being dinner for the global elite, it’s all about depopulation and believe me, those behind it are quite aware of what they’re doing, as well as the effects of the jab. It’s doing EXACTLY what it was designed to do.
I was 70 with controlled hypertension when covid “broke” in March 2020. I saw the panic around me and immediately became suspicious. I have a “don’t tread on me” philosophy and am deeply committed to my Lord Jesus. Both my husband and I took a “wait and see” approach because of our deep distrust of our government – fueled by what the 4th branch did to Pres. Trump. I also discovered how the vaccine was tested – using aborted fetuses – that right there convinced me never to get the shot. The more the media/government pressed us to be vaccinated, cajoled us, and then finally attempted to force us through intimidation, mandates, etc., the more I dug in.
I did my own research and was appalled at the huge number of physicians, researchers, and scientists who were being “blackballed” by not sticking to the “narrative”. Rigorous skepticism is a pre-requisite for good science! But so many were engaging in politics – not Science! Big red flag. When you add on all the alphabet agencies, the media, big tech, etc. in unison parroting the same message – it calls one to ask: what’s wrong with this picture?!! Needless to say, the Left in this country follow their Satanic leanings and use deception, lies, power, control, ridicule, reputation destruction and so many more evil strategies and tactics to turn the ignorant and compliant sheeple away from the truth. I was a Democrat for the first 40 years of my life, but over time I slowly grasped that “my” party joyfully reveled in negativity, death, gas-lighting, destruction, etc. It dawned on me that this is the exact opposite of what Jesus requires of us; so it had to be a spiritual thing – to make so many follow this horrible philosophy. The only answer was: this party had to be led by their father, the devil. Christ came to bring us peace, joy, and trustworthiness. The Democratic party – not so much! My last break-up with them was over Abortion. Finally saw the LIGHT! Praise God.
Oh I don’t know why…The Tuskegee Experiments? The poisoning of the Subways in St. Louis? Weapons of Mass Destruction. Every FF war since the sinking of The Maine? Ruby Ridge? Branch Davidian’s? 2018, 2020, 2022 Election Fraud? Safe and Effective? Take it…OR ELSE? Gee I have NO idea what could have made resist.
Paraquat?
Many voices in early 2020 like Dr David Martin and Dr. Judy Mikovits were warning about the dangers signals. Never before successfully used mRNA platform, Moderna coming out of left field, all of the shady characters behind the warp speed program. Anyone with two neurons to rub together should have been able to smell this rat.
Don’t hear Dr David Martin mentioned usually. Fascinating man with incredible insight that he shares, on the players in this scam. The early patents on the technology and the fact that pandemic “war games” have been played out for many years prior to this 2020 debacle, leaves a lot of unanswered questions. But Dr Martin exposes it all. Look him up.
Why I didn’t take the jab…..2019 I got what
I thought was a typical cold that wouldn’t go away . It worsened.Then I thought it was the flu. Got worse and worse(over 6wks.) until I was forced to go to the doc as I was getting so weak. Docs said my lungs sounded like a train and I was going into pneumonia. Was surprised I was able to take a deep breath and was walking around.(I’m almost 70.)Said I had some kind of “weird virus that was going around”. Not the flu but scolded me for not taking a flu shot anyway.Prescribed an antibiotic and a steroid. Told me to go to the ER should I have trouble breathing.Didn’t take the steroid as I had issues with them before. Then a couple of months later Covid 19 became a thing . My initial thought was I don’t need a vaccine immediately as I’ve had the virus . Confident it was Covid.Then a relative ,who is a clinical pathologist ,told those of us who are allergic to shellfish(a few in my family) not to take the vaccine.That relative changed their stance later and became completely pro vaccine and booster,booster etc.. That’s another story. .At that point my intuition was seeing all kinds of red flags ! Hubs got the jab and a booster against my wishes.
Our 4 grown kids did not. Nor did their spouses. Our eldest walked away from his job as they were mandating the jab. The next job tried to mandate it but he and several other employees said they would leave so they dropped it. Then he had a heart attack . He’s not obese ,doesn’t smoke ,and is not sedate. Doc said it was genetic.That doc was furious he didn’t get the jab and tried to make him take it. Nope! Turns out,it probably would have killed him.
I got another Covid variant later and used Ivermectin + the Zelenko protocol – the hydroxychloriquine.
Still no jab. My older sibling was holding out too,until his wife shamed him into taking it due to her daughter having an auto immune condition. First time I had Covid no one else in our inner circle exhibited any indication,other than cold type symptoms, of contracting it.
My reason for not getting the vax may seem off the wall, but I spent my entire career in computer software support. Whenever a new release came out, regardless of the amount of pre-release testing to find bugs, it wasn’t until the software was released and used by actual customers, that the software bugs popped up. No long-term testing on this vax… I aint’t taking it.
👍 Beautiful analogy!
We are the “control group”…that is officially missing from this giant gene therapy experiment.
My husband and I who are both seniors did not get the jab.
When FDA and CDC claimed that the cure of hydroxychloroquine would kill people at the same time they pushed the vaccine, something just didn’t look right.
Also, the fact that Pfizer told Biden rather than President Trump that they finished the vaccine stunk to high heavens.
Biden and Kamala pushed a vaccine that they claimed they wouldn’t take when President Trump was in office.
We are lucky that we are retired so we just contacted Americas Frontline Doctors and got a prescription in case we contracted covid. We had more faith in the HCQ than anything these clowns were pushing.
One word…. TRUST!
My husband and I did not get the Covid shots or boosters. Neither of us is part of the medical profession, but we knew immediately that Warp Speed is no way to develop a vaccine and vouch for it as being ‘safe + effective’! No amount of threats or blame or shaming the Unvaxxed could change our minds. Of our adult kids, two got the shots, three did not, but we did not fare as well with our eleven grandkids…only ONE is Unvaxxed ! School + College mandates in New York State are diabolical and our ‘leaders’ were and are tyrants. My husband and I are 81 and 79 now and we’re both in good health, although we are appalled at the shameless greed of our entire Govt, Big Pharma, the medical profession, Silicon Valley and various pompous-ass Billionaires and how easy it was to brainwash America thanks to our corrupt and rotting mainstream media! Too many friends + neighbors have died from the jabs that we just hope to live long enough to see the perpetrators strung up in the public square. Prison is too good for them. They are all TRAITORS.
PS. Voted for Trump twice, but he must stop crowing about ‘Warp Speed’ and speak out on this intentional Genocide. He OWNS the bully pulpit. Use it! Grab this issue before it grabs him…
My wife and I decided by God’s grace not to take the poke BEFORE the really bad results were being made public. She’s in public education and came under awful pressure here in Los Angeles County, CA the seat of medical totalitarianism. We both read RFK, Jr.’s book “The Real Anthony Fauci” and that sealed the deal. Plus I’ll add that one of my primary reasons is I don’t like the government telling me ANYTHING! let alone that I have to take some injected genetic experiment. Hope that helps …
By the way we both got covid twice and I got it really bad and treated with Ivermectin thanks to a Dr. at our church.
By the way I’m 70 years old and not even a little bit afraid …
When I read that the Jab was experimental, I did some research into the MNRA testing and could only find one test. The test was on 50 mink. They all died. that was enough for me to say, “No thank you” and not in those words.
My husband died in 2009 at age 47 from multiple myeloma. He was diagnosed a year and 4 months earlier, and we went through 5 chemo therapies, multiple rounds of radiation, a bone marrow stem cell transplant, and at the end sought a second opinion from the foremost specialist in the disease at the Mayo Clinic, who set us up for treatment to try to get his blood counts sufficient to qualify for an experimental drug study. We never got his blood counts sufficient to qualify for the study, because their requirements were so stringent in order to maintain the integrity of the study. There was no “right to try” at the time, which President Trump established during his presidency. All this to say, when the “vaccine” rolled out with its EU authorization and shoddy studies, I knew I would never put that in my body. If the medical establishment considered my husband’s health too poor to merit an experimental dose of their drug to possibly save his life, because it would mess up the integrity of the results from their study, there is NO WAY IN HELL I would consider the “vax” to be “safe and effective” after they just junked the vax “study” because some of the participants “found out” they were receiving the placebo, leading them to just give everyone the real shot. Then the pressure campaign and the immunity given to the drug manufacturers. I’m an attorney and this is unheard of to me. Ironically, thalidomide was the first chemo given to my husband and that’s when I learned of it’s storied history. Also, 6 years ago, my mother died from a brain bleed brought on by Xarelto. My siblings and I participated in the class action suit against that drug’s manufacturer for concealing that drug’s deadly side effects. I also worked on several cases of manufacturer product liability, drugs and other products, where the internal emails and other correspondence of executives talking about hiding evidence of dangers of their products in order to maintain profits would make your blood run cold. Last, I had pericarditis twice in my twenties, so when I caught wind of cases of myocarditis popping up from the “vax” it made me pause. Then when they started censoring that information, it was over for me.
I left Mayo Clinic after twenty-two years over the jab. I was never against vaccines, but my reluctance had been growing for a couple decades. I stopped taking the flu vaccine after separating from the Air Force in 92. It never made sense in taking a shot for last years variant, that had now mutated into something different. Plus, I’m active and hardly ever get sick.. Over the years, Mother Mayo continued to increase pressure to get the flu shot. Signing a declaration was standard for many years, but more recently they imposed more requirements, multiple online AND in-person classes. When I showed up for the in-person class, I expected very few people would be attending but was very wrong. The room was full of people, mostly wearing white coats or scrubs. People who know much more about science than I do were against it as well. When Covid hit my BS meter was very active seeing things like certain areas of store roped off because some items were “non-essential”. So many employees were deemed “non-essential”, prohibiting people from going outdoors, mask requirements, traveling one-way through the stores. None of it made sense. So, it really boils down to: 1. My history of good health. 2. Illogical or inconsistent policies and messaging. 3. The pressure.
I don’t have anything against vaccines per se; have taken flu vax in some years and also the new shingles vax. My concern is strictly with mRNA delivery tech. I can see from a researcher POV that mRNA is an exciting tech and many would like to get in on it for personal satisfaction or advancement. But from what I’ve seen is that there is a good deal of hubris involved and the idea that if we can do it we should (or even must) do it. I would much prefer some humility and maybe study in some animal models for years before trying to turn mRNA into therapeutics. Meanwhile I will refrain and take my chances with SARS2 (and I don’t think COVID is some made-up diagnosis, I acknowledge that it is a risk I am bearing). I am over 65 and in general good health. But also I advised my Father not to get it; he passed away Nov 22 at 97, not from or with COVID.
My husband got Covid, and then I did. We had a 90 day reprieve before we would be pressured to take the shot post Covid, then it began to be reported that those who had had Covid had the worst reactions to the shot. We had an instinctive resistance to the jab anyway, and resisted all pressure to give in and let them shoot us up. Then I found the http://www.openVAERS.com site, and have been slowly watching the totals of deaths and injuries climb. In the early 80’s I had read population books that proved to me that there are those who want to kill many of us off. The shots have begun to look like population culling without the death camps, I.e. deniable culling of the herd.
Hello,
Please take a look at what they have plans for their new world.
Davos: Agenda is to Create a “New World Order” [Video]

Regards,

Since March 2020 I felt in my gut that something was not right.
There was lots of pressure to get the Covid (clot) shot, from some physicians, from neighbors, endless advertising, fear mongering, threats of job loss, etc. I don’t believe I’ve ever experienced such pressure. It was odd, and maybe I am a bit suspicious.
Several years earlier I had severe leg cramps, so painful, a pain I had never experienced before. My GP
Ordered a blood test and when he read the results he sent me to the ER for further tests to find the cause of my severe pain. After a battery of tests the ER Doc told be to discontinue my statin medicine, wait 3 weeks and have my GP or Cardio Doc order another test. The second test confirmed the statin drug was the problem. Now I was pain free.
I did not want to have an untested substance injected into my body.
I followed some of the Dr. Zelenski protocol: vitamin C and D3, Zinc, and Quercetin. I was unable to purchase Ivermectin.
I did not get Covid.
I saw the behavior and edicts Dr. Fauci ignored, ditto for Gov. Newsome, Wittmer, N.J. Gov, etc. it was a horrible scam. The
The result is I have zero respect for Dr. Fauci, the AMA, Dr. BIrx, the CDC, the grubby drug companies, and the medical industrial complex in general.
Bio weapons labs in China and Ukraine funded by our government through eco heath alliance is disgusting. Of course they knew what experiments they were funding and results of their research.
Politicians, and woke companies have earned my disrespect and distrust. I could go on and on, but I won’t.
1) The survival rate for my age was 99.7%. I didn’t need to really do anything (isolating, masking, shots). 2) There were effective safe treatments for Covid which made any shots unnecessary.
3) No vaccine had ever been successful at preventing coronaviruses. Why would this time be different?
4) These were new mRNA shots which mess with genes. Count me out!
5) These are completely experimental. No guarantees of safety or efficacy. By getting them, I would be entering into the experiment as a human guinea pig.
6) The govt went way overboard on bribing & then coercing ppl to get the shots. Made me more suspicious.
I don’t trust anything they say, and I mean ANYTHING. If you’re healthy, not eating that poison junk they substitute as food, exercise, get plenty of sun, stay up on your D3 and C and zinc, you’ll be just fine. I do not take vaccines, PERIOD. When I was growing up, I had everything under the sun because in those days, our you caught something, my parents made sure all the kids caught it. I’m 68 years old, and was never required to have vaccines in school, so it’s strange when I read the vaccine requirements for kids. During my last annual physical, I was told I had anti bodies in my blood. This was when Delta was the rage. Never even noticed it, not so much as a sniffle. After this mess, I refuse to even see a doctor. Of course, at the time, my doctor tried in vain to talk me into the Moderna shot. That was in 2021. Didn’t have the physical last year. Strangely, my doctor add began MIA, and no one will say why, but it did slip out that he will probably not be returning. I wonder why….
I am a 71 year old retired microbiologist and Infection Control professional who has worked in hospitals for more than 45 years. I have worked within various positions including Microbiology, Infection Control, Employee Health, Safety, Quality Assurance, JCAHO(Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) Coordinator, Risk Management…….. As I progressed with learning and teaching how to protect hospital patients and employees from their risk of infections in our unique enviroment, I developed into a kind of troubleshooting professional that would take on large and small health care facilities who were in trouble whether it be excessive infections of patients or problems of losing accreditations with medicare or other programs. I received awards for Best Practices in Infection Control from JCAHO in several of the hospitals that I served. I have always been an advoacate for the simplist policies and procedures that get the best measureable results and gettings rid practices that do not work. I have a healthy respect for the body’s immune system to combat various bacteria, viruses, and other potential pathogens . Therefore even though I facilitated vaccines for employees for the flu, hepatitis, etc I never took them for myself. I believed that allowing my exposure to various pathogens helped my immune system to function as God intended and develop antibodies that would protect me from future exposures. I only got the flu once in my career despite the fact that I have never had a flu vaccine. I have also never taken antibiotics except in potentially serious situations, about three times in my life…..pretty remarkable in 71 years. SO when Covid was released , and the various agencies made recomendations that made absolutely no sense in preventing infection (i.e. Face Masks for Virus Protection, standing 10 ft apart, isolating the healthy along with those infected) I became extremely concerned and vowed never to take the experimental vaccine . My brother took the vaccine on the recommendation of his cardiologist became ill after the first dose and died shortly after his second dose….mission accomplished????? Now, I am extremely distrustful of Big Pharma , Healthcare institutions, Government and anyone promoting killer vaccines. I am also sad….my life’s work has pretty much been destroyed. What happened to ” DO NO HARM” in the minds of healthcare professionals? I may not live to see trust in healthcare return.
I had recently learned about the birth defects caused by the widely prescribed drug thalidomide (1950s-60s) and remember the heart problems resulting from the weight loss drug fen phen. There was so much hysteria about this new virus as to arouse suspicions that there was some ulterior motive behind the fear mongering. When the “vaccines” came out and were so enthusiastically promoted I looked at an online consent form : long term effects unknown, Pfizer is not liable for any health issues this drug may cause….who would take that? I was shocked to see so many people vying for time slots to get this new experimental shot.
I teach at two colleges. Or did. Was let go from one for refusing the jab. Best wishes to all who took it in order to keep their jobs.
Late to the party…
I have been a climate skeptic for twenty years. Fought the model wars and the temperature “corrections”, saw consensus replace actual science. When I saw the first graphs and models out of Imperial College I had a sense of deja vu. Same with the “case counts”. I took a few precautions and stayed home a lot. But I was not very worried because, early in the piece, it became apparent that whatever COVID was it was really a disease of the very old and the morbidly obese. I am neither nor are any of my immediate family. My research suggested we were at minimal risk.
When the jabs rolled out I was perfectly happy to wait until the “trials” were completed before taking the jab. At that point I had no evidence that the jabs were dangerous, but also no evidence that they were safe or effective. As I stood on the sidelines the evidence accumulated. They certainly didn’t seem to be very effective and, slowly, evidence was accumulating that they were unsafe, perhaps very unsafe. Plus, it was pretty clear that the trials had been misreported, to put it kindly. Then the booster (s) were rolled out with barely any trials at all. It became pretty clear that gov’t and PHOs were making it up as they went along.
I live in Canada and we had all manner of sanitation theatre, mask mandates, restaurant closures, QR-IDs and employment mandates. But I work for myself from home almost entirely online so I was little affected by this nonsense. But each, unscientific, NPI and mandate convinced me the authorities at best had no clue what they were doing, at worst they were paid or otherwise induced to push the jabs regardless of consequence.
It was a bit difficult to resist the early pressure simply because the evidence was so scarce, later it was easier as Omicron proved the uselessness of the jabs. Now? Having made it this far there is nothing which would induce me to get jabbed or boosted. I just pray that my adult children, who got jabbed to play sports or travel, will escape any adverse effects. So far, so good.
I am an American citizen but live in Canada’s Yukon Territory. I didnt take the vaccine for several reasons. My wife and I own a tourism business ( fly in fishing lodge) so we were watching the events surrounding the virus closely from the very beginning because we knew it could effect our business.
I started seeing what I felt were inconsistencies before the vaccines were even available. That concerned me, especially since I had recently had my own experience with the medical system. Two years before covid hit, I went from a healthy 55 year old outdoorsman who had never spent a day in the hospital , to a complete wreck in a matter of months. It took our socialized medical system 6 months to finally give me a diagnoses. I was diagnosed with a bad case of RA and told I would be in a wheelchair within 10 years. Of course the doctors all said it was incurable and that I needed to start taking drugs immediately. After some research of my own I decided to take my own drug free path, which I did. To this day I have never taken any drugs for my RA and am now symptom free. No pain no sign of the disease at all. I did it by simply going to an all carnivore diet. Lots of other have done the same if anyone is interested just do a google search.
So that was my back story. It never even crossed my mind to take the vaccines. In the off season my wife and I both work as EMTs for our local ambulance service. We were both fired when they mandated the vaccines. By this time I was closely following doctors like Pierre Kory, Paul Mereck, Peter McCullough, and many others. I believed what they were trying to tell the world, and the guidelines they developed and posted on the FLCCC website saved thousands of lives. I believe the country owes that group a huge apology.
As a side note our youngest daughter is an advanced care paramedic and decided to take the vaccine early on. It damaged her heart and she will never be the same again.
Thankful for this question and all the comments from people who chose not to get the vaccine. Its something I have wondered about since this started. Why did such a small percentage refuse? Are we critical thinkers? renegades? In my fairly large circle only a small handful refused. I have lots of friends and family in the USA and however bad it was in your state, Canada was far worse, and the Yukon the worst of all. For almost a year they had checkpoints up on the highway and if you didnt live here you didnt get in. Without a vaccine passport you couldnt work or draw employment insurance. Fines up to $750 were imposed on people caught without a mask. They really put the pressure on us to comply. For me, that made it easier to just say no.
I stumbled onto WEF before Covid, so I believed from day one that it was planned and a depopulation event. No one listened to me and thought I had lost my mind.
I resisted because I do not take threats well. B. I DO NOT LIKE TO BE FORCED INTO COMPLIANCE. C. I can make my own choices about my health thank very much. D. The government wanted & said I had to. I researched the whole subject thoroughly and concluded that this was totally UNNECESSARY!! I am not a leming. I am a INDIVIDUAL! I never take the anual flu shot so, why would I take this “experiment”??
About 20 years ago I watched a girlfriend’s son die within hours of receiving his MMR vaccine. It was so obviously the cause yet she was completely ignored by the medical community when she questioned a possible relationship between the shot and her son’s immediate encephalitis and death within hours.
About a year later I saw the same thing happen only that time it took four agonizing years for my friend’s daughter to die, but the encephalitis was within hours of the shot. She spent years in court and did receive monetary compensation through the VAERS system, and a gag order.
Several years later I got pregnant for the first time and began studying childbirth and child rearing. I was fortunate in that I had several friends who were nurses and doctors and they pointed me toward good sources of information, most of which ran contrary to the mainstream medical establishment’s recommendations. Initially I was shocked to discover most my doctor and nurse friends did not follow the CDC recommended vaccine guidelines, but instead chose to weigh the risk versus benefits of each. There was no one size fits all when it came to their kids.
While I was pregnant I worked for a company that had the health department come in and give flu shots to all employees. It’s the only one I ever had. Coincidentally (?), I had the worst flu of my life that year.
I spent time working hospice with AIDS patients in the ’90s and was somewhat familiar with the vaccine trials and the new DNA technology being explored at that time. It didn’t look too good.
All of the above has made me very skeptical of the CDC and less than willing to blindly jump on the bandwagon of any pharmaceutical or medical procedure without careful consideration of its risks versus benefits.
If an old fashioned vaccine, killed or live virus, had been created, I might have gotten a shot, considering how very deadly covid looked in the beginning. But, a brand new, untested, rushed to market, and mandated shot… Nope. I expect better from our government and our medical system. And then it sure didn’t take long for data to validate my opinion.
America went along with Kerry calling me a baby killer!
Still do not trust those at the top!
i haven’t been to a doctor in 40 plus years since I have little trust in the pharmaceutical approach to healthcare and it’s lack of lifestyle considerations. Never even use aspirin. No way I was gonna take a vaccine. The whole theory of vaccines never made sense to me. Totally unnatural. It’s been a pandemic of the faulty innaccurate PCR test with sypmptoms identical to the common cold. In my experience even the common cold is diet related and can be avoided. People eat too many mucus forming foods and those waste products need to be eliminated periodically. The germs are there because they are decomposing the organic mucus from the food and are not causing the cold. Someday this will be common knowledge.
We split our risk. My husband had the shots and I did not. We figured that one way or another, one of us would be around for our children.
Sundance, Thank you for the genius of asking this question. Im literally obsessed with reading all of it, because I need the evidence Im not crazy.
I refused the vax simply because I believe the idea of human freedom is more important than my life. I believe in scientific argument and debate, not censorship. And at the same time, on the basis of the evidence, I did not believe the authorities’ or culture’s claims that there was a shred of benefit or virtue in hiding inside, masking, or vaxing.
Each day that saw repugnant regimes around the world beating people over masks, or demanding papers to be in public, or pulling a baby from a screaming mother’s arms, or looking at sad toddlers wearing those cruel masks, or hearing about someone dying alone and loved ones cruelly deprived of a last moment and the opportunity to gtieve (while simultaneously watching riots and multiple mass funerals for that moron George Floyd), i became more disgusted and my resolve to resist all of it steadily grew.
My beliefs came at a high cost though. Family relationships are broken and I have two grandchildren I have not been allowed to greet. And, of course my heart is completely broken both from missing my grandchildren and from the loss of my children’s minds to this utter insanity.
Personally, this country which I used to love, used to feel enormous pride in, used to feel enormous gratitude to live in… for me it’s just gone and I see no hope of it ever coming back. I cannot fathom why every leader at every level does not hang their head in shame for what they’ve done. I hope time proves me wrong, but it feels like there are so few of us now…
Thank you again. Reading these posts has really helped.

Like you, Sundance, I did not trust the government. When the most important aspect about the China Virus was that it not be called that, I knew the truth was not a concern for those doing the speaking. Fauci’s back and forth about masks, etc., exposed him early as not knowing, or being truthful, in what he was saying. Not to mention his body language screaming “RUN away from whatever this fraud says.” Watching doctors, for all of 2020, being silenced if they were treating patients with readily available therapies that were forced off the market was more evidence that the whole deal was corrupt. The body count showed that there were no cases of the flu for much of 2020, and the COVID count included anyone that had a bullet or a train hit them while they were dying from COVID. How likely is that? The rumor that hospitals were getting paid more if the death of a patient was from COVID was concerning?
Deaths from COVID occurred to those with an average 1.5 comorbidities. Since I had none, other than high blood pressure controlled with light medication, had a high vitamin D lipid level, and was in good health at 75, staying informed through research by those you can trust, such as CTH, I decided I was not going to take that death EUA jab. Not working, no one but me paying the mortgage, I was lucky to not be required to take it.
I say it was obvious if you were awake, but the shots likely killed my brother. I had been sending him and his wife information contrary to getting the shots since the beginning. He had cancer, but it went into remission, expected to not be a problem, if ever, for five years. After he took the first booster, a different cancer ravaged him, heart issues he could live with became major issues, and clots also became a problem. When I reviewed the time line of his health troubles with his wife while he was in hospice, it fit. But when I asked when he got the vaccine, she blew up: “NO, we are not going there. It had nothing to do with it. If it did, what can we do about it?” So, it was obvious to me, but not my closest relatives.
I’m now a patient of one of the doctors on Ron Johnson’s COVID panel for any special “virus” occasions, while still in a Kaiser Permanente plan of bad medicine. I asked my internist for a Rx for HCQ or Ivermectin and they refused me. A follow up on “why” got me a “we are not allowed to do it” response. Huh! I remember taking something close to HCQ for foreign travel. And why do the poorest countries have the best COVID experiences?
We are on our own for our health care. You are your best provider. Paying attention is a life or death matter.
Best wishes to the glorious family that shares so much on this spectacular website. We have a fight on our hands.
The second day the mask were required, and I realized this country rolled over in less than 24 hours to government control, I decided no mask/no vax fir me!!
I am a scientist by training. I have studied data analysis and done it for almost 40 years. I have a huge distrust of big, federal government systems. That said, I dug into the CDC website early in the hubub. The data did not support fear or concern. I saw the 2005 paper on HCQ, and saw they suppressed it. I saw how they treated the Nigerian immigrant from Louisiana and I watched them suppress information. Knowing the Wuhan Flu was not going to kill me, I looked at the shot as I look at flu shots. They make me sick. Why would I willingly take something I KNEW would make me feel like crap, when I was not positive I would catch the Kung-flu?!
Then! I had to capture stats for the office. All of my vaxxed employees were catching it at the same rate as my unvaxxed. None of them showed any less severity in symptoms than my unvaxxed employees. Quite frankly, I saw no benefit to it.
Now, with the current push to shoot everybody up, with zero evidence of efficacy, I have to ask, “WTF is in that shot?!” Is it just about money? Are they literally trying to experiment on us? Are they trying to wipe out the control group so they do not go to jail? Who benefits? What is their motivation? The initial motivation was to perform a soft coup, clearly. If Trump kept the economy running, the government would be shown to be more efficient with less power and influence. DC could NOT allow that. Then, I wonder if they just were amazed at how compliant America was and they decided to make their globalist push hard. Controllers love control, and fascists love to fasct. LOL
I can boil my refusal down to a few points
6.It was shown early on that the fatality rate from *covid* was minuscule
7.vaccines have always taken 7-15 years to develop and safety test, this was supposedly done in 9 months?
8.the more the bribery and coercion to take the shot, the less agreeable to it I became
9.to echo Sundance, the government has been lying to me for as long as I’ve been paying attention (many decades now)
Amuzed__Traveler – Your reasons for not taking the shot are the same reasons I decided NOT to take it. I felt like it was rushed through – not tested enough. I heard several things about people having adverse effects and some even died. All of the information about how it could be dangerous or harmful was suddenly suppressed, I really felt like the public was being lied to. There were few places I could go to hear even a whisper of opposition. I had to worry about being kicked off of social media if I dared to share an “un-approved” post. I read a lot about doctors and nurses who were losing their jobs and positions for speaking out against it. Then, when alternate, affordable, inexpensive substances/medications (Hydroxychloroquine) were forbidden – that really sealed the deal for me.
Ditto!

As an evangelical, politically conservative, pro-life, stay-at-home parent my views are NEVER reflected positively in the media. Therefore, I am quite immune to believing any media drumbeat on any issue.
Moreover, I had pediatricians for my kids who advised against them getting the HPV vaccine when it came out due to the fact that it generally takes some time for safety signals to appear when new vaccines are released.
These facts, along with the statistics of who was dying from Covid, e.g., that the average age was older than US life expectancy, helped shape my decision to not get the Covid shots.
I am fortunate that I was not working at the time so didn’t have that as part of my decision making process.
I am concerned about my spouse and kids, all of whom have gotten the shots including boosters to varying degrees as well as concerned about shedding from the shots from my spouse.
It does seem to transfer via bodily secretions, so you might want to try to mitigate the effects with one of the protocols published by Epoch Times.
How did your kids and spouse end up getting shots and not you too?
I don’t understand how you could allow your children to participate when it is not something that you yourself would do
I tried over many days to elucidate reasons not to take the mrna shots. All my kids are adults in their mid- 20s to early 40s and they felt that they should get the shots so things could open up and to protect my generation and my parents’ generation.
The media did a complete snow job on them.
They believed the “prevailing wisdom” and not me nor any info I provided. My resources were deemed, by them, to be not trustworthy.
