A COVID conversation we must have to understand the devastation: Can you write 2-5 lines of how you were personally affected by the government's and societal's response to COVID?
A COVID conversation we must have to understand the devastation: Can you write 2-5 lines of how you were personally affected by the government's and societal's response to COVID?
I will collate the comments as real quotes and put it in one large substack for sharing; be open and honest and unless you say in remarks, I will quote but no names; the damage scars will be life-long
The vaccine mandates have caused me to lose my job of 20 years. I’m a Sonographer. There is a world-wide shortage in this area too! I have been through mental torment, lost “friendships”, and been locked out of my church! I understand why some people committed suicide. Being locked out of society and not able to contribute or earn is devastating.
I served in the military for 16 years and was proud to do so. My goal was to retire at 20+ years as a reservist. I filed for a religious exemption and was told it wouldn't be accepted. The military changed the rules for medical and administrative exemptions as well. They also changed the rules for drilling reservists and came down extra hard on senior officers, as they can't have dissension at higher ranks. I got an expedited honorable discharge, lost any possibility of retirement and worst of all, lost faith in the entire chain of command to stand up for what is ethical, lawful and constitutional.
Both of my daughters were mandated to get it by “higher learning”. Universities should be sued for liability. NYC wouldn’t seat me for dinner without the vax card. My life wasn’t in danger but now I understand how the Nazis got rolling
Thank you for asking. In early 2020, my 32 yr old son was struggling deeply with his mental health. He was starting to find support & help but in March of 2020 our governor (Evers in WI) shut our state down. I saw my son come back from meeting after meeting saying they could no longer meet. I sat & cried because I knew this couldn't be good. He only made it 2 months under lockdown and committed suicide on May 21, 2020.
It's been a challenge, hardest struggle as been my father's wife working to deny him a relationship with my son (born early 2020) and myself over my lack of vaccination. It's also watching my wife walk into a pharmacy to take something she doesn't want to. All guided under the fear to keep her job after begging her not to do it. The past 3 years have enabled me to see people for who they are. I now see those that possess discernment, self awareness and critical thinking. Unfortunately, I see the many that do not.
A hospital killed my brother with remdesivir and a ventilator and refused to give him ivermectin while we begged them to give it and not remdesivir. (And he already lost his income with their lockdowns because he refused to get vaccinated.) They also drugged him and when he would wake up they forced more opiates to keep him asleep till he died. We don't think he was that sick to begin with but after he was hospitilized, everything went South. They kept us from seeing him. And gave us crap because he wasn't vaccinated and we also are not vaccinated. Then they wanted us to pull the plug because they had a shortage of beds but tried to put it on us saying Heaven needs him. Complete scumbags. So his daughter lost her father and his sisters lost their brother.
I am a teacher of 26 years and was escorted out of my classroom for not masking and was made to look like I was the criminal. Standing up for my rights and religious belief was a very emotional and scary moment. Many people looked down on me when this happened. However, proud to know I did what was right as a patriot and a woman of God! Met many new amazing people who have been my motivation and inspiration!
I was not vaxed when I had a medical emergency and was hospitalized from 12/10/2021 to 1/22/2022. I was cv-negative, thank God when I entered the hospital. The treatment I received in the hospital was so much worse than anything my friends and family did to me because I was not vaxed. I never felt such discrimination, it was awful. I made it through, but I will never forget that treatment. Such a disgrace.
As an Emeritus Perfusionist had worked in OR consulting throughout until HHS mandated the jab which I refuse and lost my ability to work.Lost my ability to receive the Eucharist as mass was on line during the shut down and for a Catholic that was devastating not being able to be in the physical presence of Our Lord. The gym was closed, I am an avid bodybuilder and lost muscle mass and the emotional outlet. Recently lost two friends 48 and 63 who died suddenly. Two brothers vax injured. The toll on my aging mother of not seeing anyone for months really set her back.
I am a nurse practitioner, now done with medicine because of this. Amoral decisions. Greed. Cruelty. Evil. Medicine is no longer the profession I onced loved. In early 2021, a dear Bible study friend tested positive and, while waiting for her early treatment meds from the Frontline Doctors, was rushed to the hospital by her worried husband. Less than a week later, my previously healthy friend was given the death cocktail and a vent (against her will) and was gone from our lives. Three months after that, my childhood best friend, driven mad by the covid fear porn and lockdown isolation, disowned all unjabbed, including me, got the jab herself, then shot herself in the head. I agree with Dr Paul when he calls for trials & punishment. After all these evil people have done to us, I support no mercy for them, as they showed none to either of my friends or to any of the dear people in these comments. May the Lord bless us all. Thank you, Dr Paul, for caring.
My world as I knew it has almost entirely crumbled away. I find it too painful to say more other than that I want to remember and honor what was good, and to bring what I can forward. Thank you, Dr. Alexander, for standing for freedom.
My elderly parents and sister have each allowed themselves to be jabbed 5 times, and they are still true believers in the vaxx. They cried and begged me to get the shot so I wouldn't "die." Now, they all have persistent health issues, and I am absolutely fine. All of my children believed in these shots and also have had theirs. I don't know how many, because they won't talk to me about it. I count my blessings that I did not lose my job, but I was under extreme pressure to get the shot. I am the sole holdout at my workplace. The worst part through all of this has been the great feeling of hopelessness, as I have feared losing everyone I know and care about from these poison injections. It has been heartbreaking that I couldn't get through to "save" anyone. I lost a 3-year relationship because he didn't want to date someone with wrongthink who was barred from entry to the many places we used to enjoy. It was chilling to see and hear how so many "kind and caring" community members could so easily turn to a two-tier social system and turn us into pariahs. They truly believed we were toxic and did not deserve to receive emergency treatment at the hospitals. This personally affected me because my entire social structure was blown apart, and I was left with only myself and God. That's how I got through the darkest parts. Most nights as I turned into bed, I would hear myself saying, "well, there goes another day, just like the one before it. What is the point?" Never suicidal. Just acknowledging how it felt.
My daughter was on a tennis and academic scholarship for college. In the fall of 2021, she was made ineligible to play tennis because she asked for accommodation to the college’s Covid PCR testing protocol for unvaccinated athletes (she never shared her Covid vaccination status with the college but they told her they would assume she was unvaccinated).
The minds games the school played. She was allowed to sit at tennis practice, but not participate. She was not allowed to workout with the tennis team in the weight training room (yeah...this was all about health) but she could go later at night to the gym by herself if it was open (Covid protocol on campus).
At one point she was called into the Athletic Director’s office and was told that her Covid testing issues go away when she gets vaccinated. This was blatant coercion.
Mentally and physically distraught by the situation (lost 15 pounds) she left the school.
We tried to find a lawyer to help our daughter, but at the time, no one would take the case.
With virtually everyone around me being captured in the Cult of Covid, I started to question my own sanity but eventually came to the following conclusion: Those who engage in bullying, blackmailing and coercing are on the wrong side of history, therefore I'm not the crazy one.
I went to my local municipal council to state my case regarding my choice to just not ... I was met by OPP officers as an anti-vax protestor. I was unable to travel in my own country and alienated from family and friends. I managed to work my way thru all of this but the most unforgivable was that I was unable to visit with a dying friend, that I had cherished for 40 years, as the unvaccinated were the plague itself! I said goodbye to a wooden urn.

Blood clotting periods (3) and I’ve not had a period in 20+ years (72)
Skin patches ( large) over my trunk (dermatologist said own body attacking itself)
Rare UTI ( also dr said own body (immune) not able to fight it. )
