Yesterday I posted about a FB group where I was invited to ask a local nurse questions about the vaccine. Update- it did NOT go well.
First the phraseology of my questions was attacked. I agreed to change two words- “forced” and “mandate”, because as of yet, there are no state officials going around and jabbing people without consent. They had issue with the word “coerce” also, but I actually got some of them to agree that while the Green Pass is indeed coercion, they’re ok with that in the name of public health.
Obviously, none of my questions were answered, as they HAVE no real answers, only attacks on the “bias” of my questions. The nastiest it got was when one woman said that me and my unvaxxed family should go live in seclusion in Idaho and grow our own food if we want to stay unvaccinated, but we have no right to occupy the same public space as she does. I thanked her for her honesty, as it’s important for us to see what we’re up against.
Conclusion: We live on an alternate ideological planet as pro-vaxx mandate people, yet we have to share physical space with them.
My plan on how to deal with this kind of tense pressure is, as Steve Bannon would say, “action action action”. We need to ignore the absolute control freaks, and focus on saving our kids both from the vaccines, and more importantly from a life full of mandates and overreaching govt control. I’m working on a small campaign to launch a pilot project that will be focused on getting a paper trail of information to every MK in Israel. More on that later.
I think it may not have gone as badly as it seems. Many more people read it than commented on it. While some will agree you should go live in seclusion, others will think that was mean and over-the-top. People have read your questions, some will think about them--that is a win, even if you don't see them doing anything about it yet...it adds to the influences on them to question the narrative.
On a personal note, I had what I consider a successful discussion yesterday. I currently live in rural Canada, in a town where everyone except me was born here--I'm the outsider, I haven't lived here long, and I don't know all that many people. I was talking with a group of five people. One had mentioned to me earlier that eleven people on his street had died in the last year (probably 100 or so people live on his street--so eleven deaths in one year is a lot), of various causes. I asked him if any of the people that had died had not taken the vax. He was surprised by the question, thought about it, immediately realizing the implication, and said no, and voiced a concern about the possibility of the vax being a conspiracy of some sort. I don't want to push ideas that could be called conspiracy theories, as they are easier to refute, which reduces the credibility of anything else I say, so I just said it could also just be a poorly-tested vaccine. I want people to question the narrative, and from that some become allies.
I considered this successful because the guy I questioned goes to the bars a lot (requires a vax passport, so I don't go) and talks with many people. He is now questioning the narrative and he is likely to mention that to others. The other people in the group also seemed to be considering the idea that the high number of local deaths is related to the vax (about 95% are vaxxed here).
There are people who have swallowed the narrative completely (the "absolute control freaks" you mention), who will hate me for my questions, and I will not be able to reach them. But there are more people who got vaxxed because they were told to, they didn't do extensive research into it, and they aren't particularly pro-vax--these are people I can reach and make allies with. Small victories, but victories, nonetheless.
Great that you are continuing to push back against the mandates!
I agree that we are on alternate planets. I recently had a troubling email/text interaction with my father in law regarding his concern that I won’t take the third jab (I was red pilled on the vax after I took, and had a bad reaction to, my second dose). His arguments are non arguments. Ignorance of all the data and research, and just “Fauxi says this and CDC says this”. There is no actual debate bc there’s only ignorance. Thus, to me, the alternate planets are populated by those of us who actually are ingesting as much info as possible and taking positions based on all that info and those who blindly follow what govt/pharma/corporate media tell them. I’m not sure the divide will ever be repaired. Advice to anyone else dealing with a similar situation: don’t mention your prescription to ivermectin. For the sheep, this is a trigger that prompts so much bizarre reaction it makes the discussion even worse.
