“Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.” – Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister for Nazi Party under Adolf Hitler I received this message from someone I know well, is highly educated & a respectable adult:
Thank you for a brilliant article that is so thoughtfully written. It brought comfort and hope about the possibility that humanity still has good faith and intensions. Sadly, I found some of your experiences with being not vaccinated similar to mine. I've heard, "oh, your anti-vaccine" (which I'm not), one person recently asked me if I was vaccinated and when I told her "no" she proceeded to back-up from me as if I was contaminated (we all know that vaccinated people can spread the virus too), and my daughter and I were pressured to wear masks (outside!) when visiting extended family in 2021. I too, recently had the virus. When I tested positive, I was able to get the monoclonal antibodies the next day, and within a week, I tested negative. I'm thankful that my case was mild with little to no upper respiratory issues and very thankful that I now have natural immunity.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a compassionate post on a vicious topic. I find myself emotional on a daily basis over vilification for my beliefs on this issue. I was a Democrat. I was not a “crazy” Fox News watching right-winger. 2020 turned everything on its head for me. None of this situation makes sense. Never in my life have I felt so concerned that I live in a delusional and corrupt society.

Again, an amazing article. Thank you for presenting the arguments so well. Thank you for a little hope today.
