My friends here in Seattle still don’t think there was anything wrong with showing a vax card OR a negative test. It still makes perfect sense to them that the vax protects everyone and it’s only responsible that the unvaxed produce a test, because the unvaxed are more likely to transmit covid.🤦🏻♀️Yes!!!

TeacherLori - this completely boils down to the fact that the majority were brainwashed into conflating wearing the mask and getting the vaccine with “doing your part for society”, and “loving your neighbor”. For most it had absolutely nothing to do with the science behind how PPE actually works or the years of data we already had complied on masks, because they refused to listen to Industrial Hygienists who are the actual PPE experts or believe any of those past studies. Masking 100% became “I wear my mask for you, you wear your mask for me.” Same with vaccines, it just became completely a “do your part” campaign and no one actually stopped to look at whether the actual shot was going to even help or hurt them. So, of course they would gladly wear their mask and show their vax card because to them it meant they were being a “good, kind person”. And those who did not, were “evil, mean, humanity haters.” How could they not love their neighbor?! So they ignore actual data even as the months go by and it starts to slap them in the face, like obvious negative vaccine efficacy and adverse effects. Even when the data starts to come from their beloved three letter bureaucratic organizations and leaders they pretend they don’t hear it because to them, those thoughts and beliefs have now forever been solidified as opposition and being unkind. They cannot get that initial propaganda out of their heads because they bought into it so hard. Twenty boosters later they’ll still be there, wearing their masks, saying it’s a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
The whole thing was Narcissistic bullying. The covert "The government is just trying to help you be a good citizen." BS. Gas lighting that the Doctors who got cancelled had "misinformation," which now CDC is saying was correct information. Dig sheeple, you were lied to by your government!! Will you still trust them?????
I agree. And this was done very purposely by those in power. First a "shock and awe" campaign at such a magnitude those without spiritual strength could not handle the magnitude of corruption, hatred of humanity behind this. The same thing happens in abusive relationships where the abuse is hidden. Friends and family etc. often believe the abuser as it's easier to not look at the "face of evil".
I did try to tell liberal friends that they didn't "believe" in mRNA technology but they believed in the marketing used to push it.
It’s interesting you bring up the spiritual strength though cause, lots of evangelical Christian churches bought into the propaganda just as bad and decided, especially with masking, that this was going to be how everyone must show love for their fellow Christian and neighbor. Lots of professing believers who you couldn’t tell apart from the mask shaming Karens at Costco. My sisters neighbor/friend has gone in so hard on the, masking and getting vaccines is how you show Christ’s love rhetoric, they barely speak anymore.
Yes, the Catholic Church was especially bad, that is why we left. But what do you expect when the Pope himself is woke and is also pushing all of this nonsense.
The people behind this are truly evil, weaponizing human being desire to love their neighbor to advance their agenda. Psychopaths believe things like love are a weakness to be exploited. NO!!!. Yes many good-hearted people were manipulated through their desire to do the right "good" thing, but love is our power not our weakness against these monsters. Just need discernment and knowledge of how these kinds of people work.
Not all religious people are spiritual. If one follows a religion without actually becoming closer to God, the person doesn't have the discernment to see between what is of God and what not. They may just be a good follower, easy to lead astray by just using the "correct" language.
I had a friend who after being vaccinated had covid and was lamenting that the gym didn’t ask for a vaccine card because people were getting sick. 🤦🏼♀️Please make it make sense. I blew up and asked what was the point of asking for a card if anyone can get and transmit the virus. I’m struggling with what to make of people like this. They don’t seem stupid in all other areas and the person was trained as a dentist. Maybe they are under impression that the transmission is reduced but how can it be when the viral load is the same and now the efficacy is negative. That was a few months ago that we talked about it. I just hope with each passing day more and more people join Team Reality.
As another Seattlite, thinking outside the established groupthink is something of a lost cause here and woe betide anyone who dares venture outside of this. It is a monoculture, yet with the god of diversity at their helm, there's minimal diversity of views tolerated.

Yes. Because at this point, amnesty means they get to sweep all of it under the rug.
Yes. I wrote about this here: https://shethinksliberty.substack.com/p/the-way-we-were

It's like "psychological immune priming or original psychological antigenic sin".

And those folks never reply when you send them evidence of their misunderstanding, right? That's what happens with my friends and colleagues.

I know, I love how all of these “diversity” people only want superficial diversity, not true diversity 🙄
WOW! It’s just as bad as Commifornia. It’s pathetic.
And you could have them read a history book and they’d find NO correlation whatsoever, right?
