Highly but also so eye opening, I have this memory seared into my brain we had a family get together when it was "okay" to meet again and all my family were talking about oh I got J&J or whatever provider vax and i remember the pressure on me to do it and I was like nah i'll pass, they were so chuffed to be part of this little movement

I still said I am all for people doing what they want but I disagree with socialising the cost/losses to do so, why don't individuals just pay and leave me alone, and they were oh its for the greater good, now they want to moan about inflation and cant see how they are connected

I opposed the shot especially mRNA and the mandate more. I held for as long as possible. I got jabbed with J&J in November 2021 because my friend wanted me to attend a show and the venue was checking for vaccine passports.

I had a fever for 3 days, 72 hours, before I finally took some Tylenol.

One of my friends had a remarkable transformation. He opposed the vaccine mandate and all the covid coercion and nonsense. He left California for Texas in 2022. Politically he used to be center left and now he is right wing. He was ostracised by some of our mutual friends.

Today's right wing is yesterday's center left, remember when the left was anti-war and was telling you that you own your body? To them pro-choice only applies to one topic, for everything else they want total control

The Overton window keeps shifing left

Regarding abortion, I wonder if they will adopt pro fertility policies like Romania under Ceaucescu once they realize their cult fertility rate is below replacement level
