The sad thing is I think a lot of people think the same way she does. They don't see the difference between actual consequences of a disease, and government restrictions. And she acts as if these restrictions ARE immutable laws. I bet she's gone over the speed limit, even ran a red light in her time on earth, and yet she believes that like a mime in a self-created imaginary box, she has to get a vaccine in order to "see people." This buy into the "contrived" must make her an extraordinary actress.

Many really believe they would've been hospitalized or died without the vax and that the side effects were worth it. Ugh.

Got a vaxxed and boosted friend right now on her third week of 'ro symptoms who went and got boosted even after I presented her with info that essentially said, "Don't do it!" I've warned her off the bivalent, but it won't surprise me if she gets that too.

I have a vaxxed/boosted family member that reported to me their vaccine status. I warned them the same thing, and also walked through the reasons why at the very least, it should never have been mandatory. When I last talked to her...following her booster, she contracted Covid and was on her second week of still being under the weather.

To your first point, my only supposition is that when I tell people like this I have had Covid twice, I believe they disbelieve I've actually had it since I wasn't vaccinated or was skeptical of a lot of the rules about it. They would probably think I was "lucky" I had not died.

I had Covid in April 2021 and I have family members who are sure that I was lying because I didn't die and they are furious with me for not getting vaxxed.
