Oh I am. It's like the Aesop's fable about carrying a snake across the river and it bites the fox because, well folks, it's a snake. It's gonna do that. Why be astonished or indignant when snakes bite? HOWEVER-From the beginning I was sharing info and ideas with family and colleagues and then all the sudden more than half took the jabs. I'm telling you what, I am still struggling to forgive some of them. And I struggle to think of them the same as I did before. I sometimes wonder if I'm preparing to separate from them when they eventually become ill and die. Or I wonder if I'm just personally offended because I've been in medicine for 25 years and most of them haven't, so then what is CNN your doctor now? Oh, not to mention the, "You can come over but stay on the porch" or "I just have to recognize that a lot of people out there just don't care about The Science and protecting others". OK, so far I have not called anyone who took the shots dumb or selfish, so could you refrain from doing that to me, sis? Or I think about how colleagues took bribe money to get the shots and just can't respect them now. Not to mention wondering where in the world intellectual curiosity went or why no one apparently believes in physiology anymore. So, yeah, maybe we're in a small group here being angry with the duped. Or maybe it's just not as big a topic of conversation as it should be. AAAHHHHHH.....thanks for letting me vent!

Yep. They call us selfish because (according to one narrative) we can infect others without being sick though their shots protect them from infection. *Eye roll.

No one calls them selfish or endangering our health and safety by demanding all of us including high risk subject themselves to medical experiments. With a bad track record for animal test subjects.

Jamie, just reading through some of these comments and I really related to everything you said. Îve been an RN for 45 years, always the one sought out for medical info. Like you, I was innocently sending tidbits of info to family and friends and was shocked when totally ignored and also dismissed for "not following the science," even left out of a family gathering as well as a get together in a women's group I've been a part of for 20 years. It really was shocking. Robert Malone calls it psychological 5th generation warfare. I hope your relationships are improving. All of my siblings surprised me by flying in from all over for my birthday in June which has gone a long way towards healing. My friends group will never be the same but prob not just about Covid. I'm trying to pick my battles and realize I can't save them from themselves. I felt pretty certain that they have to know by now how silly it all was, yet not one has ever offered any kind of an apology, they just say nothing. But just this month, my local newspaper puts out an article outlining the doctors who are losing their licenses for Rx'ing Ivermectin, testifying... I really thought this would end but now, w word of more lockdowns and masking in the horizon, I have my doubts.

Yeah, it bites. But that is life, isn't it? I guess I just didn't realize how "life" it really was! I hate that it all gets memory-holed, or whatever is happening. At this point people talk about losing hair, having blood and heart problems, going to another funeral like it's just a usual thing. And time marches on with fires, finances and the "new triple-threat" coming to us this fall, so CV has taken a backseat in a sense. ANYWAY, thank you for your comment and yes things in the fam are better but CV is not to be talked about, so there is that. Best to you and wow thank you for your 45 years in the field!
