Always knew the day would come, but they have officially disowned me, called me mentally ill, told me im an egoist and irresponsible, shrieking at me about how i'm not thinking about my health. i tried holding out against them, but now i stand my ground, and it looks like family members will be lost in this war

Run a rational checklist past them.

Ask them why you should get vaxxed if the vax does not stop you from getting Covid, and does not stop you from giving others Covid.

Ask them how you are endangering their lives if the vax works; and how you are engandering your own life if the vax does not work.

Ask them if they know how mild Covid is to the unvaxxed, particularly those under the age of 65.

Ask them if they know that it affects the vaxxed more severely than the unvaxxed.

Ask them if they know that the vaxxed are more likely to catch the disease than the unvaxxed.

Ask them if they know that those who have had Covid, and gotten over it on their own without the vax, can neither catch the disease or spread the disease.

Ask them if they know that the vax is killing more people than it is saving.

Ask them if they know that masks don't work, social distancing is a complete joke, and the common flu has not gone away, it's just being called Covid now.

They’ve probably become full members of the branch covidians. There’s no reasoning with these people. Something about tossing pearls before swine.

The thing is, knowledge must come from somewhere. Your knowledge depends on which sources you watch, ask and read.

Because from their point of view, they "know" that the vaccine may not prevent you from catching covid, but lowers the odds and severity. They believe to know it reduces the time you have symptoms and thus indirectly reduces transmission. They "know" it saved millions of lifes.

And if you ask them how they know such outlandish things, they tell you they have their knowledge from their own government. From Big Pharma. From knowing that foreign governments have lockdowns and vaccinate their citizen, like europe and russia. And perhaps from asking their doctor.

Lost me at rational. You’ve seriously never dealt when these cultists? It’s a cult of irrationality. Refuting your rationale with the irrational is how they level up.

Irrational? Every media source they read & watch tells them the same self affirming information. All of the major social media websites, facebook, twitter, youtube ALL concur with the official government and main stream media narrative.

Why wouldn't they believe it.

They would have to first come to grips with the idea that the major news media is lying to them.

Hell, they wouldn't even know where to go for a reliable source of alternate information.

For that matter, I don't personally know where to go for reliable information myself anymore. But I DO know who is consistently lying to me. I also expect that if the vaccines were working well it would be plainly obvious by now.
