Thanks, I appreciate it.

To be fair I didn't lose my job since my employer just was going to go along with whatever mandate OSHA put out, and when that was struck down, there was some relief there. But I would have, without question, not taken a vaccine or a forced medical procedure to work there, or anywhere. I made it clear, I was told I would be fired, and I said so be it.

As far as the family and friends. So what? If you don't want to be my friend because I chose not to play Russian roulette with my health because of a strain of a cold, that says a hell of alot more about them then it does about me, and as far as I'm concerned, they did me a favor. No hate or love lost. I couldn't care less.

understood. i don't think we'd be in this position, if as a nation, more people did the same or similar and stood up for themselves and autonomy.

i get it. i lost a long time friend that went back to middle school. i prefer to know how people really feel, and our "friendship" wasn't really there if we can't agree to disagree.

just sorta terrifying how many people didn't question the narrative.

wishing you well.
