re: Last night I told my father-in-law that he is basically an idiot for encouraging boosters

Even if you do have evidence, what good does saying something mean at this point.
A lot of people have reached a point where a perceived political win is more important than their families.
I have a few members of my extended family who stopped talking to me because I'm a "gun nut" for supporting the Second Amendment.
I fully expect they'd have done the same if I told them the government shouldn't be forcing anyone to get a vaccine.

He refuses to listen. Just walks away like I'm a crazy.
Same, so glad I won the argument over him with my young adult children. His exact word to my son who was 26 at the time, "No one dies from a vaccine" keep ringing in my head. We are a family of pure bloods and I'm more thankful for that with every passing day. Had a boosted extended family member nearly die from Myocarditis, according to some family members it was just an coincidence a healthy active 23 yr old young man was in ICU for several days with a heart condition, to this day nearly a year later his body has not recovered fully.

Who do you think is more credible that virologist epidemiologists and folks who spend their lives studying these things?
Pushing boosters is safe, if you're the cowardly sort. You won't get sued, you won't get fired, and there may even be a bigger paycheck.
Bashing boosters can have the opposite effect.
This isn't 1987 and your doctor isn't Cliff Huxtable. It's 2022 and your doctor is a Biden voter who thinks Trump told us to drink bleach.

I'm 66 and I saw through what was up from the get go. Had I not stumbled across Agenda 21 and what the globalist were up to I might have not been as suspicious as I was. I listened to "conspiracy theorist" David Icke and he turned out to be dead on.....went from theory to conspiracy. So knowing what I did I was in full anticipation of what was happening. For me, it will be pureblood.....or spilled blood.

So is it your contention that the Covid Vaccines are ABSOLUTELY, 100% SAFE and that NO ONE has or ever will suffer adverse reactions from taking them?
The difficult part of this situation is that the experts continue to lie about the risks and rewards associated with the vaccine, COVID mortality, natural immunity and the FDA is actively sitting on the side effect data.
Without impartial scientists measuring all available data sets and publishing apolitical findings, informed decision making is impossible.
People who still trust the health experts are still likely going to be pro vaccine and masks because that is still the official messaging.
I’m 100% against mRNA vaccines for a myriad of reasons, but I understand why people took them and why they continue to believe in them.
Blame the government and the political activist doctors running the AMA, not the consumers.

That’s unfortunate but predictable. I haven’t tried to talk to my folks about it since the very beginning.
Similar results.
My in-laws took the original jabs but openly voice regret.
Pa-in-law had a gnarly malignant growth on his jawbone. Don’t know if the jab caused it but his oncologist said regarding the jab, “There’s no way I’m sticking that bullshite in my body.”
Sis-in-law is in a very high risk pregnancy. Don’t know if it’s jab-related but her OB-GYN is of the opinion that the jabs have caused health problems in mothers and babies.
My household is 100% pureblooded and will remain so.

I'll say this some in our society, especially the elderly, trust vaccines and, from my experience, had no idea what mRNA tech was.

They were legitimately DESTROYING the lives of credible, intelligent Professionals who had the AUDACITY to engage in REAL Science by simply asking questions and REFUTING the lie that any Science is "settled" and unimpeachable.

My parents are 80ish. They got the mRNA shot, and the first booster, because they saw people in their age group getting very ill, and a couple of deaths.
They now understand that the vaccines aren’t 100% effective and are killing people. So even my dad, who is very set in his ways, knows the score.

Thanks for that, definitely confirms my suspicions. My doctor is awesome, he isn’t too old, nor is he right off the boat, he is an independent thinker and I feel lucky. A young woman doctor in the same office struck me as the very type you’re talking about. When I had covid in my lungs and had to go in to the docs with an emergency appointment, I was trying to get pneumonia meds, she called the fire department to take me to the hospital, I had to reassure her my daughter could take me. Everything about her seemed completely robotic.

Early on, several of my friends that I regularly email, got mad at me for not being "vaccinated" and going along. One had the theory that our labs are more trustworthy than the CCP ones that made the COVID-19. So, I just stop sending information about negative effects to them. We are all old farts.
Now, they are emailing stuff like "Died Suddenly". With something this serious, I refuse to say, I told you so or pile on, so I just let them rant and roll.

I lost a lifelong friend/frat brother over it. Even though I weathered the OG COVID fine before the jabs were available, and therefore saw no need to be vaccinated, he said my kind were responsible for overflowing hospitals and deaths. He really went on a tirade and we haven’t spoken since
