Guaranteed we all tried. Still trying actually. I lost 4 friendships of over 25 years and the one who is still associating with me absolutely 💯 believes the shot is fabulous and will keep taking it. Refuses to even look at a single study. 🤷♀️ we still get together occasionally but she is convinced that I’m delusional. And darn if we didn’t feel all alone until we found C&C!
I have to allow others to be responsible for their own actions. So vaxxed folks… we tried we are still trying. We only had info that was available to everyone. No secret manifest.
Perhaps my aunt calling me a “selfish baby killer” and telling my sister that she was “unclean” and therefore had to sit outside at thanksgiving silenced me a bit but I did keep trying and I didn’t cut her out of my life and I still love her. What more could we do? Sorry so long! 🙁 thx for the comment Tonya.. I think being able to reply to you was a smidge therapeutic for me 😊
I have continued to try--albeit very delicately. But cousin, who has (proudly?) taken 5 "of the shots" responds to me "In what universe have you been living?"[I think I had dared to refer to the "scamdemic"]. Would you be surprised to learn that she is a dedicated reader of/listener to NYT, WaPo, NPR?
All of this makes me think, though—why is it that it’s always *someone else’s* fault or responsibility with these people?? Never their own?? They couldn’t just do what we did, and inform *themselves*?? Why do they always think it’s up to someone else to inform them or tell them what to do? They NEVER seem to want to take responsibility for anything! 🙄
My husband and I got the very first shots that April 2021. I had just been through several tragedies in the prior 3-4 years and then needed a life saving surgery later that year, so I had not been following the news at all and didn’t have much contact with anyone outside our home. Luckily after my surgery I started to take charge of my health and that’s when I started to learned what I needed to. We never got any boosters. I didn’t learn enough in time to stop my youngest from getting one booster required by his university early in 2022 but I did learn soon enough to prevent him from getting any more. I never blamed anyone for our not knowing. I followed what I heard from my doctors without question. I “could” blame them if I wanted to, and I suppose they are somewhat to blame, but ultimately it was both my husband and my own fault for not finding the time to think/question/research. I have valid excuses for why I couldn’t, but he really doesn’t. Still, neither of us blame the other or anyone else. We blame ourselves and our own stupid, trusting, naivety at the time. It feels awful sometimes to look back at that, but I can feel better knowing I’m not that same person today and never will be again.
Or it could be that they are deliberately poking the bear to provoke these responses from us. I suspect they are playing games because how can anyone be SO stupid, but then again the victim mentality can be debilitating. Maybe their brains are fried. I literally laughed out loud at the audacity of the article.

Lefty echo chambers. I have lots of friends like this.
I’m sorry you had to deal with all that 😕

Gma, I'm also still trying to warn people as well. And you're right in that everyone had access to the same info as we had.
I personally know 10 people who have died or were injured after being jabbed. So sad.
