btw, if you need a valid excuse out of why you don't have the vax and will not be getting it, i have a loophole that can work for anyone i'm pretty sure.
so when i was like a kid i had guillain-barre syndrome, and if you read the disclosure about who cannot receive this vaccine as it's not medically advisable and has potential to cause more harm than good to the individual (basically if you've had guillain-barre syndrome once before, asking someone to take the covid vax is asking them to risk paralysis and other life altering permanent affects, or potentially death).

this is why i did not get the vaccine. i don't know why but it feels dangerous to say that out loud or to 'out' myself as unvaccinated. but it's not for any paranoid, or political, opinion, it's just a matter of biological science that i am literally not a candidate for this vaccine in particular as the risks it poses are just too high.
so you can just say to your employer or whoever, i had a medical condition that makes me not a candidate for the vaccine. technically, according to laws in the US you don't even have to state what that condition was, as thats private medical information and is protected.
technically taking this vaccine (and any vaccine) is a sort of russian roulette, though so is driving a car, and being born. we don't ask to take any of these risks, but it is expected of us in life. Despite the illusion of a public notion we live in a society focused on fairness, if you wake up to the numbers and observe and really do the math here, you realize it's not about individual fairness or individual protection, safety, survival- but rather survival of the "heard" over all- aka the structures in place the contribute to economy and government.
and its strictly upon the individual to protect themselves. and if they want a life that depicts or provides the illusion of fairness, they can choose to ascribe to it and actively create it- which contributes to their own feeling of safety as well as likely helping those around them to the extent which is feasible for them. in a sense a lot of things people ascribe to and lifestyles they lead are no different than members of cults, but they just don't see it that way because to them it is their norm. and it's very easy to create self-confirmation bias as well.
in this day and age of opinion and choosing, and individuality, people are so focused on upholding their own 'cult-like' systems that provide their safety and appease all their psycho-social mental-emotional otherwise needs, society can become sort of lopsided, and can very quickly get further and further away from what is fact, what is reality. but rather, people live in their own perceived, created realities.
some are just perceived as more extreme than others, but in structure and function it is always the same, and that is to meet all the needs of the individual.
the pull of having your needs met is so strong, that people will continue to engage in and support, and self-confirm their perceived reality over almost anything. this is sort of the crux between good and evil at the core and where the line can get thinly blurred.
the rambling above is just me thinking out loud, but i'm not staking my claim as saying this is the most right line of thought to exist, but rather it's just that- a line of thought. is it most right? i don't know. is it even my opinion that i hold, or is that subject to change. i'm always open to further lines of thought, further creativity, further discussion and progression in thought to occur.
thats sort of the question isn't it, is it really possible for any one individual to *have* it all right, to have all the facts, and know what is most true, indefinitely. no. maybe thats because what's true is subject to change.
i don't know why i'm going on about this either. lol
copy pasted quote: People are not motivated by ideological codes. People are motivated by impulse and construct ideological codes to justify and rationalize what they were already going to do. An old professor of mine had this great thing. He said, “On the level of individuals and civilizations, ‘personality predates ideology’. Meaning before you were a fascist, you were a bully and an asshole.” ~Brennan Lee Mulligan
It’s crazy to read the pro vaccine people’s posts now that we know the truth. It’s not even really funny. It’s just sad. They had so much trust in society. I wonder how they feel now.
I think there are two groups of people. The oblivious sheep people that still believe in the vaccine and the ones in fear for their lives because they know the truth.
