I totally agree with you. I still find myself self censoring so as not to offend anyone that still believes in the “ vaccines”. Some are on their 9th shot! I was with a friend the other day who said we just didn’t know enough about Covid and our country did the best it could. I wanted to launch into all the facts about what I had found out in my extensive research on Covid and the vaccines….. but I didn’t. My friend does not read anything and relies on her favorite TV station,CNN, to tell her everything she needs to know. It seemed futile to me to present her with any facts. We have been friends for almost 40 years. She never questions anything. I now question EVERYTHING! We are polar opposites now on basically everything, especially politics and science. We still have the strong bond of raising our children together when we were much younger.
Aortic dissections are reserved for the elderly and drug abusers. I have 15yrs experience in this and if anyone tells you differently laugh at them. My SIL touted the asymptomatic infection BS that must have been the cause of my sister's ovarian tumor! I said there's no such thing! Lay people pretending to be medical experts based on MSM information is insane and absolutely normalized.
Thank you--and I will laugh at them. I’m just so sad for this woman--we’re in the same age group. Never before have I known so many people around my age and younger with “cardiac issues.”
I agree, too, gentle questions can be powerful, and sometimes the most effective approach. But asking gentle questions is an art; not always easy to do when called for.
Maureen, this is an excellent essay. Thanks for sharing your experience and your reflections.
I know, oftentimes it's not at all easy to know what to say. I've neglected to say something a few times I would have liked to, but I didn't out of sheer surprise or confusion (OMG, is that what they really said??!!) Add to that, in certain company, saying something direct, however true, can in fact be counterproductive. One has to be able to read the room, as the comedians say.
I agree. I didn't tell people not to take it because I was shocked that they would and I didn't want to cause problems. (Beginning of the pandemic , I knew the agenda was a shot that would pretty much kill anyone who took it, so I thought maybe 15% would take it at most). Now I think maybe I could have made a difference. And yeah I don't want to cause panic in people who already took it.
I have a big mouth and have felt the need to censor myself in order to not cause a panic in those I know who have had the injections. However, it is literally making me ill so I no longer talk to most of those people. They all have access to the same internet that we do so it is unacceptable to me that they don't already know what we do! Especially those in "healthcare". Being busy isn't an excuse to sleep through genocide. I'm not sure what the right reaction or response is but it sure as hell shouldn't be silence. Though I'm guilty too! My 24yr old nephew is dying of a glioblastoma and I'm pissed. Thrice shot. Then his family gets the pleasure of paying obscene medical bills after his life has been robbed from them.

We simply must love our friends and families enough to risk their friendship. But do it gently with questions
I agree. I wish I’d posed a gentle question in that situation. Thank you for reading!

And many diagnoses of cardiac amyloidosis... I've worked in cardiology... this is a new phenomenon.
It's incredibly frustrating and sad. I definitely don't want to be the jerk who says something insensitive but that's how we got here!

We can plant seeds of doubt and as you say, gentle questions. I tried last night with an ironic, Who is still testing for covid and why?
I spoke out quite loudly during Covid and I did lose some friends. In hindsight, I'm lucky I didn't lose even more.
But at this point should one tell the vaxxed they are likely injured? No, it won't do any good and it will just cause grief.
But if they're continuing to get injected they're floating the system that is killing them!
