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.
I’m sorry you had to deal with all that 😕
