One? I commend you for holding your ground and keeping your sanity. Our family members of the same age group (meaning all of the sisters and brothers from my family and husband's family are unvaccinted minus one . The elders and kids all got jabbed, minus one who got covid was given remdesevir and died shortly after. But few have cut each other off for their decisions. I hear this happening a lot and I think it is among the saddest thing happening. And not a coincidence. A pretty neat trick to separate families.
The separation of loved ones, family and friends, seems to be one of the principal desired results of the last two years' policies. Disagreement and strife at the level of social circle has evil, well-planned consequences. I only hope more people open their eyes and identify where the grief is coming from-- and that it doesn't get worse (the evildoing from "on high" and the reaction to it).
Agreed! Just talking to my husband about the 2 camps and why. He thinks that some are trusting and others are more skeptical. Some see the government as their protector, think they are like their parent or priest who is the ultimate authority and would not hurt them. Others because they don't feel that way, carefully scrutinize what the government (authority) does and says. Why are the tattooed, piercing, look to have a rebellious streak... who seem like they might be ones in the skeptical camp are usually, as it turns out, not? Because they are not. It is all just acting out - on paper. Like a child who rebels, but when hurt runs to mom for comfort. No ability to tough it out.
We have lost lots of social friends. The social friends used to try to pretend we were vaccinated - until they couldn't. It just became too much. We have lost no real friends. It still sucks. I can't imagine living in a state or territory where the madness still rules.
