i, too, was shunned early on for saying essentially the same thing: that I will not forgo my own needs in order to save someone else. that's the heart of codependency and self-abandonment, and I refuse to play that game anymore. I will give and help from overflow, and no more. People were suuuuper offended by that one. It cost me a bunch of friends. But I stand by it.

I came to this thinking later in the pandemic. As someone who’s had relationships with people with addictions, I started realizing what was going on when an (apparently?) immunocompromised “friend” started guilting me for not vaxxing, implying I was putting her and her daughter at risk. Her daughter and my daughter are friends and she’s no longer allowed at my house cause of our vax status! But: She Goes To School while the mom enjoys her housewife life and the dad makes a shit ton from home high up at Amazon. HE works for Amazon while SHE shops from there and preaches about collective values and ”community”…ha!!…while now shunning us who have not vaxxed. I started thinking from my al anon days that it’s important to take care of ME first. She didn’t much like this way of thinking—-something about “but the COLLECTIVE!”…and we haven’t spoken since. I’m still pissed 🤣…can you tell?!
Well put. I totally agree with and share your sentiments. I have lost friends and a few family members over this devisive virus. I sometimes think that a lot of vaccinated people are angry for the failure of the so called vaccines and are taking it out on those like myself who chose not to take part in this experiment. I followed the Canadian Truck convoy on different media and there was a small counter protest in Ottawa. It was a Karen Fest. All masked up outdoors and carrying signs. One sign actually said all the unvaccinated people should die! Not one comment about this hateful rhetoric on mainstream media. Except for the first few months when the pandemic was declared, I have never been overly worried or frightened of covid. However, some of the unhinged vaccinated people terrify me.
Those people that rant that all unvax should die terrifies me. Just saw a video of a 22 year old that got so messed up after one shot. And does the medical community help? No they suggest he has anxiety. I feel so bad for him and others that have suffered. Now should he “die” cuz he’s not fully vaxxed? If he gets another one he might very well die. But they are compassionate for wearing masks? Let’s ask the good doctor how he will help these people that have been injured by the jab.

Oh, my friend hated me before the vaxxes were even allowed for our age range, because I didn't care if I (!) got the flu. (Control freak much?)
