Interesting. Why haven't they ostracized you? Is it because they don't know your views? I'm guessing they don't, not completely anyhow. I wouldn't ask for an apology any more than I would ask for an apology from a JW knocking at my door.

I love the image of 'worshipping at the Blue Cathedral.' People who's religion has become a substitute for the existential struggle we all ultimately face are often very hostile to anyone who will challenge it, or even suggest that their beliefs are different.
I don't go looking for a fight personally, but I'm pretty firm about honestly holding the position I do.
I've written about my friend who works at Pfizer managing drug trials. She is a vaxx Karen, and has basically said "if you don't get vaxxed, you'll die of c0vid."
Well, a while back I came out to her regarding not being injected and gave her my reasons. She was upset, but we decided not to talk about it any more. She is vaxxed and double boosted.
Fast forward to a few weeks later. She wants me to come visit her for a few weeks.
So... she thinks everyone who is not vaxxed will die (I had C0VID and did not die) and may very well see us as vectors of disease.
Yet... she still wants to see me and obviously isn't afraid to be around me.
That's what we're dealing with. Complete and utter nonsense and illogic.
I don't really know what has changed her mind. It might be as simple as "well, as long as she's not actively infectious, she's not going to kill me, so it would be OK to see her. But she's going to die if she gets C0VID, which is sad."
It sounds like she thought Covid might kill her but does't see Omicrons as so dangerous. I've noticed some people speak in hyperbole -- not a good practice during a pandemic - and say things like "you'll do if you get Covid" when what they really mean is "I'm very worried of the risk of dying from Covid."

So, here's another interesting story.

Is it possible her risk-benefit calculus has changed with Omicron being so much less variant? I know that's the case for me.
