Thanksgiving 2022, when people were going hard for the Vax, he ignored all of my phone calls and texts until April of 2023.
My thinking might be incorrect, but I am guessing that at that point in time, while people were eating propaganda heavy, he planned on never speaking/talking to me again because I didn't get the jab. He never said it explicitly, because he didn't answer my calls during this period. To be fair, I didn't call him too much, except for the period leading up to Thanksgiving.
But I know he did lie about Thanksgiving. My brother went, I know this. Last year, I asked him if my brother went, and he said he didn't have Thanksgiving that year.
I know a lot of normies seem to have amnesia about the lockdown/mandatory vax times. Nobody talks about it in normal conversation, even though it was just 2-3 years ago.
I think this is because of their shame. They do not like what they did, or who they became, during those years, and cannot admit to it.
My wife and I discussed your post. In our family we lobbied aggressively against the vax. Although our parents and siblings all got jabbed, no one pushed us away due to our choices. But I can easily see how the delacate dynamics in some families would be warped or even shattered in the face of the pressures we were all put under. I came within 12 hours of quitting my engineering job of 28 years, cashing in our 401k and moving to a new state, but my religous exemption was granted. Many people lost their jobs. Everyone faced new kinds of pressures they never faced before and it was an ugly time. I hope your family can find ways to mend and your father recovers over time. Clearly you care deeply about your family and that is what matters most.
