How big an urban area do you want to be outside of? Do you plan kids? How outdoors oriented are you? Nashville has become a hot place in the last few years, but that's pulling it blue fast. Outlying areas ought to still have a lot of red. Houston is political cucked, but not a hotbed of street action nonsense. Better than the suburbs are the small cities within driving distance. Traffic is horrendous, weather sucks 80% of the time and then there's hurricanes. Come on down. Austin is all commie. Much of San Antonio is blue collar rough- I don't watch their politics. I'm from Houston, so I'm required to tell you Dallas sux. Fort Worth would be good. Lots of outlying communities for all DFW. If you don't mind being away from biggest city activity, Abilene had among the highest percent vote for Trump in the nation in 2016. They have a surprising amount of stuff for a small town in the middle of nowhere. There's three colleges and an Air Force base in town that keep the market for fun stuff going.
What's on tap? Pfizer and Moderns are the mRNA shots- hell no. They screw up everything, including reproductive and brain. AstroZeneca is a different mechanism, but has big clot/stroke numbers. Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) is closer to a traditional vaccine. It is also a single shot vs two. Less swings at bat to mess you up. J&J has increased risk of the myocarditis, esp in young males. My 25 yo son was facing huge work/family pressure vs only me saying don't. As a lesser of evils, I asked he do JJ, if he caved. He did, but took JJ. He's okay, so far. Personally, I would go J&J and put myself on a regular low dose asprin (81mg) like an older heart patient, as a mild anti-clot measure. You can get that on the shelf at any store. YMMV. Hope you find a way to avoid the choice.
The reeeeeeing from the Fauci believers will be intense as they are forced to face reality. Unfortunately, the true scope of the lies will be muddied by the massive manipulation of every number related to this clusterfuck. At least the original Nazis keep meticulous records.
I think it's all collateral damage from her not wanting to hear anything related to politics. She's decided 'antivaxxers' are all the tinfoil hatters. Doesn't matter that the links I've been sending throughout were directly to peer viewed studies from established scientific/medical entities. Early on, I stopped sending links to articles that discussed findings contrary to the faucicult. "That's not a reliable source."....okay....they are writing about a reliable source. She's all in on THE SCIENCE , not look at the growing mound of active scientific study that says otherwise.
Not tonight. I know I'm better off circling back 😜 and discussing it tomorrow. She may well listen later. It's the entire hearing, so hours long, but I tried to get her to see both sides were presented. She needs to hear it play out, not have me tell her. (I listen to unreliable sources, dontcha know)
She's usually all about the science. She's always been the first to search out real information on a subject. Suddenly, on this she's drunk all the koolaid. I send her links to real studies. She implores me to get the shot. I send her hilarious and truth filled memes, she says she sends me eye rolls. She did send me a link from The Atlantic with a hit piece of some rona truth. I sent back her eye roll. Wonder what she'd do if she knew I not only won't get the shot, but have actually ingested horse paste! 😱
