I'm 60+ years old, retired, spent almost 20 years working at the health department in IT, so I'm not a medical professional but had to attend all the first responder trainings after 9/11. Being an IT type I'm curious about a lot of things and paid attention to my training no matter what it was. In the 2000's we had a couple of true pandemics that no one gave a shit about. We didn't even wear masks at the health department at the HIV clinic, a human pox we didn't have a handle on yet.

Fast forward to today. My wife of almost 40 years, who (I think) has been voting conservative all this time, is shrieking (not exaggerating) at me for refusing to get the "vaccine". And every other conservative I know has gotten in line to get it. The stupid part is, if YOU have been vaccinated, and you believe it's effective, then why the hell should you care if I've had the shot or not? I can't make her understand this.

I didn't see this kind of hysteria with HIV, and we thought that might kill us all. Something has gone terribly askew on the treadle.

Sadly I know many who have now given into the propaganda and gotten this experimental “vaccine”. Conservatives/Christians. It’s shocking to me that people are lining up as soon as they get the opportunity....it’s almost since you have to “qualify” for it, when your number comes up it’s like you’ve won the lottery. I know at least 2 people who’ve had the actual Wuflu and still got the vaccine as soon as they could. Fear is off the charts. And who are these dolts posting pics of themselves getting the shot??? We are doomed as a people.

Yeah, the lottery mentality is exactly right. I don't understand that.

A friend messaged me that she was so excited she got her shot that day. And she couldn’t wait to get the second one. This is someone who already recovered from the virus. I was so stunned I couldn’t even respond. I’ve lost respect for so many people through this process. I’m reminding myself to be glad that I can see the truth. Many are called but few are chosen....
