The thing about this is, I simply must get it off my chest. No offence mean’t to anyone.
I came on this thread in 2020, I am a bit of a rebel, perhaps without a cause I was worried about this crazy Covid, that may wipe us out.I was also very concerned about these vaccinations. Particularly as they were rushed in and Big Pharma actually said that they were immune from any liability, WTF! This statement did not inspire me with any confidence.
My husband has always been such a conformist. He still thinks (perhaps not so much recently) that OMG policemen must be respected. I used to take the piss out of him about this, which was mean of me.
But he is quite a bit older than me and he was frightened and felt we should have all the jabs. So, I apologise, because this is the 3rd time which I have said this, but I think it is so important. I had an open mind and was looking for information, to rethink taking these jabs.
As I said, I asked a few questions and there was so much anger defensiveness and aggression, that I turned away and trotted off to be poisoned. I do now understand why many of you felt as you did. It was explained to me by a few members, that they were ostracised, by friends and family, for not taking the jabs.
This led to many losing relationships with friends and family and of course the cut ran deep. But it appeared to result in some sort of victimisation, where non vaxers became so angry, that they started to become, super suspicious of newcomers, myself included. I thought that having told my honest story, that I would be accepted. For a while I thought that I had.
But in the last couple of days, the anger and aggression towards me has returned. Picking holes in me and imo being critical. All this is just my personal interpretation and I would never be presumptuous to expect others to agree with me. Anyhow after all this writing, I would really like to say what is now troubling me greatly.
I would like to make some suggestions, if I may please.
If a newcomer asks some questions. I would say.....Welcome, welcome to our forum. Please feel free to ask any questions and we will do our best to answer them.
Can we suggest that you read, blah blah and so and so. Unfortunately, we have been labelled as crazy anti vaxxers, but we are on the whole, decent people, who although we did not comply, are ready to understand people who did and are now seeking further clarification.
Please don’t call people horrible names or try to insinuate that they are thick, stupid or sheep. You do not know their personal circumstances, so it is far best to keep them onside. Else they may think you are all troublemakers and bonkers and that will get you nowhere and will drive them away.
This has been my experience with this forum. I thought that after I had explained my reasons for getting vaxxed, that there was quite a bit of kindness and understanding. But I can look after myself now, I crossed that bloody bridge, so it is too late. But I feel that you all have a golden opportunity to help people.
Surely this is more constructive than all singing to each other from the same hymn book and for others to think you are just troublemakers.
No doubt I shall get some abusive comments from this, I can handle this, but as a compassionate person, myself I think you have a great chance of spreading the truth.
