Hi
@keith,
Quick question, how many people do you know that have died of covid, and did they die of covid, or with covid?
I know of two close acquaintances that died of Covid. At least that was what the loved ones said they died of. Whether they actually did or not, hey, I'm not a medical doctor and I wasn't there treating them and performing the tests to determine that they did or didn't have Covid.
Little known fact, the terms conspiracy theory, and conspiracy theorists were created when the CIA wanted us to stop believing the CIA was committing evil.

Last question, do you hate me because I refuse the vaccine, or do you hate me because they tell you those that refuse the vaccine should be feared?
Why would you think I hate you? I don't even know you!! Just because you understand things differently than I do is no cause for hate. However, I can see, based on the rest of your post, that it helps to bolster in your mind that everyone's against you and provides you a type of self-righteousness to label those who disagree with you as haters. It's the same method many homosexuals use to bolster their self-righteousness in themselves. They just brush off all the people who don't agree with their lifestyle as haters. Of course, you're very, very wily. You pose the question so that either way I answer your question, leaves the fact that 'I hate you' out there on the table.
Look, be comforted that I don't hate you. I think you're wrong about most of what you posted. I think you're wrong to claim that 'conspiracy' and 'conspiracy theorist' are new terms coined by some work of the CIA. I think you're wrong about whatever you believe that causes you to not want to get vaccinated. But look, I'm fully vacinated. So why would I fear or hate you over your choice? I'm protected against you, should you be carrying the virus.
I try like mad to understand the logic, it escapes me, how the protected aren't protected until the unprotected are protected too... Please, let me die if I am to die, choosing not to believe in a substance created of dead cells, nor believing in those that claim they wish to save me while systematically destroying every thing that makes life bearable.
Reading over your post and what you seem to have sold yourself as the truth, I can actually understand why you can't understand the logic of how the protected aren't protected until the unprotected are protected too. You see, that's not why everyone is pushing others to get vaccinated. You're just spinning your wheels making and supporting claims that are just completely and totally not a part of the issue. We all want everyone to get vaccinated to stop the death and sickness that is crippling people and the economy and life as we used to know it. We'd like to get back to some semblance of normalcy and we all can't really do that until we're all safe from one another.
Yes, you have every right to die however you see fit. But there are a lot of people, myself included that don't want to die by Covid and yes, getting as many people vaccinated as possible, right now, is the only way to do that. From your final cry there, I hear a person who is cynical and feels like the whole world is trying to tear them apart. Look, I'm sorry you feel that way about life, but that's not where I am. I love God and His Son Jesus and I want to live my days until He calls me home. I am trusting of others and I get along well with others. I don't even lock my doors of my home or my vehicles. I have even been known to leave my keys in my vehicles. I live in what I consider to be a safe neighborhood of friendly folks that I have gone out, in the year that I've lived here, and shaken hands and talked to all of my immediate neighbors.
The neighbor across the street is a lovely lady whose husband is an invalid and we've talked for some time across her side fence. The neighbor catty-corner from me takes me to worship service every Sunday. He and I talked when I was a new neighbor and he invited me to his fellowship and I've been going there for about 6 months now. My neighbor next door, I talk to just about every day when they're out there letting their dog do his business. My other next door neighbor, I don't see as much because there's an acre of land separating us, but I've gone over and talked to him and introduced myself. I try to be friendly and people are generally friendly back. So I have a pretty comfortable trust in others. I enjoy my life and hopefully you will too.
But, so long as you continue to drink the Kool-Aide of conspiracy theories and think that the whole world is out to get you, then you likely won't ever enjoy that kind of peace about your life.
God bless,
Ted
