As a believer in the precautionary principal, I did buy into the whole cooties schtick at first. Being one of those expendable, er essential workers who was out and about the whole time, I did start to notice that this was not the Black Death redux.
When the shots came out, I was agnostic. I honestly had no idea how they would turn out. So again, I used the precautionary principle and thought it best to wait and see. That it seemed unacceptable to so many was the first red flag. I learned long ago that when someone pushes the hard sell it's best to just cut losses and walk away from the table.
Then there was not just the hysteria of the whole thing but the blatant lies. I had gone from unsure to not even at gunpoint. When pResident Brandon issued the mandate, I was ready to get fired. I was so relieved when the supreme court ruled against it. It was tough here, but seeing what was happening in Canada was horrifying.
I did not hear voices telling me to get the shot, but I do recall when going past drive up needle fests, I felt both a strange pull along with a feeling of wrongness. That and just the feeling of getting jabbed. There does seem to be more to this than just simple propaganda.
