Although I didn’t dive into the data quite as much, I did so much reading about Covid and masks and then the vaccines. I don’t have a background in the natural sciences or medicine so no one would listen to me 🙄 It felt pretty lonely sometimes. Substack and Gab were lifelines to me. I could find people who were asking questions and not just blindly following the protocols and the narrative.

Because of all the time I spend reading and informing myself, I am also more politically engaged than my husband is. He works very hard and I think he just doesn’t have the mental energy for it. But sometimes he seems to think I’m a little extreme. I don’t care though. I know what I’ve learned and I am glad my eyes are more open than ever. I can help my family make good decisions based on what I know.

Isn’t it telling how people immediately start with the name calling and mockery when they have no actual facts to counter your information or your questions? (Reminds me of the two trolls here also)

Hubby and I are a case study in opposites attract. I am the Type A always in motion and have to have projects and he is the most laid back chill person I know. I think I have seen him legit angry maybe half a dozen times in 33 years of marriage. But he keeps me off the ledge from time to time, lol.

And yes, my background is business and finance. I almost forgot the 'Oh since when are you a medical professional?' comment. That was a big one, especially early on. True, but have done research for clients in the space, so the learning curve was a little less steep. And it doesn't take a medical professional to see that this stuff never passed the smell test. I am just used to finding, vetting and organizing data in a way that I can use it to help my clients understand things. The process doesn't change by industry. Although I did learn a lot about scientific and medical topics as I had the time to go deeper into it since everything else was cancelled. Wish I never HAD to learn about gain of function though.
