Re: " I struggle with what I should do every day."
I do, too. It's heartbreaking to see loved ones suffering. I cannot imagine how hard it must be to see your son suffering.
If it brings any comfort, here's my story.
In 2021 there were many friends and relatives I wanted to warn away from the jabs but they were crazed, literally bug-eyed crazed, to take the jabs. I did try to find openings to suggest doubts and questions, but that was always shut down like a steel trap. I quickly realized that my saying anything against the jabs would only make them volcanically angry with me, label me a nut, tear apart the fabric of the family, and then when the day came-- as I knew it would-- that they would realize that they had made a terrible mistake to take the jabs-- as some do now, in June 2023, either because they are injured or they know people who are, and they've all come down with covid multiple times-- they would feel ashamed (and Pschology 101, therefore find more reasons to be angry with and disdain me). In sum, I recognized that my trying to warn them away from the jabs would not only do no good, it would only make the aftermath harder for all concerned.
I will grant that some people may have had a different experience, and some people will always feel that the effort to warn friends and family was worth it, no matter the consequences. However, in my case there wasn't anyone who would even give a micromillimeter to listen to anything other than SAFE & EFFECTIVE OMG EVERBODY MUST GET IT NOW!!!!!!! Therefore, apart from one exception, I decided to just leave it alone. Of course this was tremendously sad and painful. Maybe not everyone understood, as I did, about gain-of-function research, mRNA and lipid nanoparticles, and Dr. Fauci's stupendous history of corruption, and the censorship was, and continues to be outrageous. However, the basic information for a thinking adult to conclude that it was neither a necessary nor a good idea to get jabbed, especially if you are young and healthy, and especially also if you'd already had covid (um, natural immunity is a thing?!), was already out there. That the jabs were experimental, that, too, was known from the beginning, as the jabs were brought out under Operation Warp Speed as Emergency Use Authorized. That the people dying of covid were mainly the elderly and people with several comorbidities, that was also widely known before the jabs roll-out.
In my opinion, taking an unneeded experimental jab in order to keep a job, attend school, or travel was absurdly shortsighted. I would have lived in my car, or even a tent, rather than take one of those jabs. (It gives me no satisfaction to point out that many of the injured took the jabs to keep a job, but now that they're injured, they're unable to work and financially ruined.)
But other people, adults with drivers' licenses and voter registrations, and some with medical licenses, too, made their own calculations and arrived at their own conclusions, which were entirely different from mine.
Where I'm going with this is that I think the whole problem we are living through is that some people think other people should do what they want them them to do. For example, I wanted my friends and family to forego the jabs which they really, but really, really, really, really wanted. I could have hectored and nagged them-- and aside from all indications that it wouldn't have done any good, by what right should I tell them what to do about their personal medical decisions? And the government, and many other people, wanted to coerce me, and try to shame me, into taking injections I didn't need or want-- and they didn't get anywhere with me, either.
At the end of the day I am the one who has to live in my body, just as, at the end of the day, other people have to live in their individual bodies. We are each ultimately responsible for ourselves. We do need to educate and care for underage children, but other competent adults, they take their own decisions, whether I think them good or poor, it is their right, as it is my right, to take decisions about personal medical treatments. So my stance is for respect for medical freedom and medical privacy. (And also, that those who committed crimes be held accountable before the law).
Another way of saying this: I respect the dignity of those who took the jabs, as I want them to respect my dignity. They have the right, as do I, to decide for themselves about their medical treatments.
No one person wanted my advice about the jabs, however, many people who are jabbed have come to this forum, and other discussion forums where I am active, asking for help to detox. I always gladly and immediately send them to the FLCCC protocols.

P.S. Last week I encountered an old friend who lives in what I would describe as an arts colony town in the mountains. She suddenly blurted out that she just couldn't understand why so many people there didn't want to get vaccinated. And I thought, hon, you're asking that now, June 2023? If she'd really wanted to know the answer to that, even with the heavy censorship, she could have easily googled up RFK's Children's Health Defense Fund and an ocean of other, alternative information. But what that was, really, was not a question, but an invitation to engage in a comfy little duet of we're-the-Good-People-let's-bash-those-icky-ignorant-anti-vaxxers. I just steered over to another subject. And I've been reflecting on it a lot this week. I would love to have told her what I know about the jabs, but what ears would she have had to hear it? And in the end, her medical decisions are not my business, any more than mine are hers. My considered respect is not the same thing as approval, nor is it a lack of compassion. In addition, I distinguish between the private realm and the public; in the former, I am quietly respectful, while in the latter I am actively attempting to infuence state legislation towards medical freedom and medical privacy.
