Well-said. I've never been a fan of the victim mentality. I am adopted and have mixed racial heritage, but I'd rather rise up and fight back, than look back. Having said that, I find I am changed. I believe I am suffering from PTSD. Not from C19, but from the response from media, politicians, employer (a few good people stood up for me), my husband's employer (feds), his colleagues (crickets), my relatives and friends. We were out last night for my husband's birthday, and I saw my beloved nephew and his wife. She saw us and waved madly. We went ahead to our patio table w/o stopping - they were with a large group. I was afraid to stop. They know our status. I have not seen them since 2021 when the pressure mounted. I felt re-traumatized. I was teary (BTW, I never cry). My nephew didn't come to say hi to us outside, which made me feel so sad. I also remembered how we were not permitted inside a restaurant between September and March. I am not saying this for sympathy, but to point out that there has been population-level trauma. For those who are still walking around with their N95s and 4 shots, to people like us, who have been vilified and othered or worse, called out by media as deserving death. BTW, my family had C19 July 1st weekend. They had a flu. 20, 30s, and 50s. I never got it at all, despite nursing all three for several days. Zelenko protocol, with 5 days of ivermectin for hubby. Ya, the horse one. That's all we could get.
Thank you for sharing your story. I see no shame in recognizing the truth -- the unvaccinated were victims of heavy discrimination. I am concerned about the damage this has caused to people... but I say that knowing that the people that went through this are some of the most mentally tough people in society. And despite the fact they wanted to make us feel alone, we are not and hopefully we can keep building communities to ensure that they know that we know we are not. As you said, rising up and fighting back is the next step. We may never get an apology or sympathy, but we can use pressure politics to prevent it from happening next time.
Excellent commentary and I haven’t noted it anywhere else. Job loss, social exclusion, limits on visitors on hospitals, persecution… none of these things are good for anyone’s health. To have governments and doctors intentionally inflicting them on people is horrifying.
I would also note that the public health officials and governments feel surprised and victimized that people are angry at them. What did they expect?
I took my name off the organ donor list after I became aware they were refusing transplants to people who were unvaccinated. How dare they think they can discriminate who my organs go to. I will never forget this or how my country betrayed me.

TY. Tearing up here again...
My suspenders of disbelief go very well together with my vest of skepticism and belt of empiricism.
Some really interesting points, Jestre. The emotional and financial abuse put upon the unvaccinated has had to take a toll on their physical health.
Guano is a highly valuable resource if you know how to use it...
Good point. I've used it extensively and been pleased with the results.

Great article! Added to that, you then get your lapdog to give ethical reasons for companies to "encourage" employees to take it.
