Supposedly the mRNA shit is only in your system for a few days then it’s gone. So fingers crossed for your friend.

I would not take it while pregnant under ANY circumstances though.

I was arguing with my “conservative” and otherwise reasonable brother about the vaccines yesterday - his position is that even if there is only a nominal benefit (reduced covid symptoms if you do get it, reduced risk of transferring it to others) there’s no benefit in not getting it, so why not. He believes the propaganda that its miracle technology that is scientifically sound and that any adverse reactions are extremely small, just like other vaccine we have accepted for a long time (I’m not an anti vaxxer, they might disagree with me here).

He may very well be correct - however, there is absolutely no way to say with any reasonable certainty that there won’t be long term effects (he scoffed at this suggestion, presumably because he’s been brainwashed) since the number of people who have taken it 5 years ago or ten years ago is exactly zero.

There is also no way to know if he’s correct about the reduced symptoms or reduced risk of transmission since the number of people who have caught covid after getting the vaccine is small (at least that has been reported).

Your best bet may be to just lie and say you got it - get your friends and family off your back, go to the wedding, whatever.

It’s not ideal, but we don’t live in an ideal world, and the trajectory we are on does not look good. It would have been great if Germans hiding Jews in WW2 could tell the nazis “yeah I’ve got Jews in my attic but you can’t take them fuck off” but that’s not how it works.

Do what you have to do to live to fight another day. If these people can lie and cheat to steal the presidency and take away all our freedom, there is no moral obligation for us to tell the truth to them and get ourselves put on a list of dissidents. It’s much easier to fight back later if the Nazis don’t already have your number.

I was literally just arguing with my mom about it. She is a complete NPC who watches the mainstream media. She got one yesterday. I told her that I will continue to do what I have been doing since March 2020.

I am trying to avoid conversations with anyone who is a vaccine pusher. In person or online. Thankfully, my dad and brother aren't buying any of it either. I also have several other friends that are resisting pressure too. This is just crazy. The virtue signaling I have seen online bragging about getting it. It is easy to see how people are brainwashed and just do what they are told.
