I'm in a fairly unique situation. I have a sister who is a retired RN with a Masters in Community Health, (dealing with vaccines and epidemiology) and a nephew with a degree in Respiratory Therapy, who is a top sales representative for a company making ventilators and other respiratory medical devices. To my knowledge, they completely swallowed the "official" narrative about the viruses, vaccines, therapies, masking, shut-downs etc. My own sister was shocked that I, as a "scientist" would question the value of wearing masks, and all the other, what I called nonsense, involving the handling of this "pandemic"
This has been very hard on me. Yes, I'm a scientist, a geologist or what I prefer to call an Earth Scientist, trained and experienced to apply the scientific method to propose and test multiple "working hypothesis" to solve complex problems with limited data. This requires critical thinking to an extreme degree. To complicate matters even further, I'm a spinal cord injured paraplegic, (SCI), paralyzed in the lower 2/3 of my body, for the last 45 years. I have poor blood circulation in my lower body and limited lung capacity. I knew I would suffer greatly and was at risk of complications if I contracted the Covid 19 virus. But I've been through many medical challenges related to my disabilities and I've had much more experience with the medical industry than anyone should have. All that considered, I smelled something terribly wrong with how this virus was being treated right from the beginning. I knew something was wrong. It was experimental, an untested new gene therapy and the evidence was obvious we were being lied to and being sold a "bill of goods". So at great personal emotional cost, I refused the vaccines. I trusted my immune system, and I've never had anything more than a "runny nose". I have no regrets, but still, I've paid a price. It can be very lonely to go against where the herd is going, even if you're sure it is over a cliff.
Yes. Beautifully written! I know that loneliness & loss too well. I’m grateful to have many awake family members but I’ve lost almost all of my friends. It’s as if we’re being collectively punished for our ‘wrong think.’ NONE of us deserve this, especially not you
I'm not a scientist, and I smelled a rat from the get go.
Back in December of 2019 I remember reading/hearing about covid the first time. I remember thinking to myself "they will try to make this into another bird flu thing."
I knew we were okay then because I knew two things most people seem to overlook. First, a someething can exist before we discover it, and second, it was already here in the US and around the world. We're people dying in massive quantities? No.
There were stories of hospitals having difficulty here and there, that much is true. but was it to the "epic proportions" they modeled?
I think Desmet addresses your unique situation and many others, and that is "why did so many people we know to be smart fall for the narrative?"
I don't think the answer is an easy one. It would be easy to simply blame the propaganda alone. But there has to be something to "push" in order for that push to work. Also there had to be something to make the narrative believable. Inthis case, it was the sources reporting it.
There also was a lot of "priming" going on in the population previous to Covid-19. Other breaks from reality were being reported as truth.
I think the impulse people feel to be part of a popular group, to fit in, to do what others think is right, makes them feel comfortable and secure. I think it is a very powerful instinct developed in people during the thousands of years of human evolution, as a survival mechanism. Often it is true, there is strength in numbers. I think this explains why so many people went along with the masking, distancing, shut downs, mandates, and vaccine passports, even when such things became obviously wrong, and even harmful. In fact they now say around 70% of people have been "vaccinated" with this novel gene therapy. The damage is done. All that remains is hoping we survive, because it is looking like the vaccines are far more dangerous than the viruses.
Wish I could hug you & kiss your cheek for that raw, honest testament you gifted us here. There is something to be said about intuition, yes? I, like you also declined the Poison19 with COPD & Asthma. The feeling of " something is not right" persisted until I finally turned off the TV with it's daily death tolls and began deep diving into alternative media like Rumble/Bitchute. One of the first videos I watched was Dr Peter McCollough 's first testimony to the Texas Senate. BOOM! I was instantly validated that early treatment was being suppressed & anyone speaking out was being censored. I tried to warn my family and a few heeded my advice but most didn't. My Mother's last words to me on the way to get her 1st booster were, " I do not know you or want anyone like you in my life who would be so selfish as to openly choose to die alone on a ventilator in a hospital" That was about 17 months ago. I thank God I trusted my intuition and I'm glad that many others such as you did as well. Peace & Blessings to you Peter!
It can be very difficult for people to admit they were wrong, especially about deeply-felt or emotional issues. Hubris, or false pride is very common. Once again, just like Mattias Desmet's "Mass Formation", it seems to be a deeply rooted aspect of human behavior. I don't know why. Maybe it is simply a lack of humility. If someone has suffered enough defeats, it is easy to admit to being wrong, to be open about questioning "authority", and to always attempt to find and follow the truth. Some might say that ability is a sign of maturity and learning to deal with life's ups and downs, and move on. Personally, I try to be patient with people and empathize with their feelings, as long as they don't do something illegal or sinfully wrong. If your mother has her wits about her, I'm guessing she'll come around. It is becoming more obvious every day that the vaccines have been a monumental and deadly failure.
As soon as they put out all those PSAs telling people "if you have symptoms, stay home", for a very serious respiratory situation, I knew something was off. And that was early, like Jan-Feb. They fired up the death counter from the very outset.
We were fortunate enough to discover Dr. Z and his prevention protocol. Then switched to FLCCC. We're the only ones in our large extended family who didn't follow the crowds, and thank God for that gift of discernment. And a little street smarts.
Yes. Very surreal to hear her speak them but I am not angry with her. Mad as heck at the perpetrators of mass propaganda & censorship who target and scared the daylights out of so many good people.

So sorry about your mother's comments and attitude. Is she still with us? Stay strong.

Yes she is fortunately still alive and I pray for reconciliation as she is 80.

Wow. Your Mother’s words cut deeply.
