Asked my unvaxed friend

[maynard]

If she had gotten her first shot yet. I gave her the Oregon stats of people in body bags in refrigerated trucks. Just wanted to know if she was one of them. She is scared of the vaccine. Said She would probably die if she got the vaccine so she won’t. Says those people are dead because of some other reason. The govt. is trying to scare us. Told her to have her husband….who is vaccinated…to call us when she dies. Did not ask her if she has taken the horse dewormer pills. I always end the call with…..”it’s been nice knowing you.”

2. That almost seems like a situation where you could reason with the person

She has a fear of the vaccine. You could ask her why she was afraid and counter with facts about how safe it really is.

3. I have a friend with a needle phobia who wasn't going to get vaxxed, plus she was afraid of

side effects. I was able to persuade her to get vaxxed. They aren't all hopeless cases.

4. Tried that route.....

She believes all things her cousin tells her. Satellites are causing the wildfires….not Jewish space lasers. Her husband is an MD. He has had his vaccine. I just make jokes when I talk to her.
