Last year when this horrible virus hit, we ALL reacted to do what we could. If this virus was 1/8 as deadly as the media tries to spin it up as being, we would ALL be vaccinating IF it actually worked, (we now know it doesn't.) I have lost one friend to covid. She was morbidly obese, a type 2 diabetic, had asthma, RA, and was 9 months pregnant. Thankfully her sweet baby made it, but she did not.
I have lost a personal friend to the vaccine. No health issues, just dead within 30 hours of having taken it. I have lost 4 friends to covid who were fully vaxxed and fully on board with distancing and mask wearing. My friend in MO currently has 4 fully vaxxed family members in the ICU at her local hospital. One is on a vent and not expected to survive.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON I KNOW (many, many friends) who have contracted the virus (save the 4 I mentioned above) have had 2-3 days of flu-like symptoms. That's it. My immunocompromised friends, my obese friends, etc. Same with their children. It has a survivability rate of over 99%. Fact. The vaccine has ZERO long-term studies. Zero. We truly have no idea what it will do as the years pass. Yes, mRNA tech has been used (mostly unsuccessfully) in cancer patients, but the actual covid concoction is a brand new item that has been allowed to come to fruition without long-term testing. It is asinine that we have spit in the face of science and scientific processes in this way.
This whole thing is now highly politicized, full of blatant hypocrisy and flat out lies, and backed by a president who cannot trust its efficacy, hence his mask wearing out of doors. People are not stupid.
If this is mandated, we will not comply. We have already reached out to legal counsel and will take this as far as we can. And we will absolutely move from this state. Hear me, this is not an idle threat. I cannot count the numbers of whole families I personally know who have already begun the process of job searching in other states. If you make this a state where only those who writhe in fear can live their lives, that's all who will be left. And what a horrible end to such a beautiful and once patriotic state.
Lawmakers considering this are clearly being played, bought off, or buying into the fear. That makes you wholly unfit to serve.
