Me: I am concerned abt all the sudden deaths we’re seeing.

Many Replies: WHAT R U SAYING?? IT’S THE VIRUS, NOT VAX!!

Me: Huh? I didn’t say it was the vax.

Many replies: IT’S THE VAX, LIAR!!

Please, can we stop reflexively reacting and take a step back?

We are not getting anywhere.

I hate seeing so much division, esp knowing much is being created by gov/ corporations/ complicit media who are expert at manipulating the public.

I pray for ☮️ & ceasefires in 2023.

It has done incredible harm for people (esp MD/scientists) to deny others real experiences. Whether that is losing loved ones to or becoming disabled by the virus, or harmed by vaccine.

It is soul-crushing to see how ppl are being treated & vehemently denied truth.

I almost died from chronic #Lyme, a disease that is VERY REAL, highly politicized, & generally misunderstood by medicine.

I am speaking to you as someone who knows what it’s like not to be believed & almost lost my life bc of it.

Bc of dogma, arrogance, lack of curiosity.

I cannot sit idly by and watch this play out day after day after day.

It is not a conspiracy that this virus is diabolical & will take healthy ppl out months after a “mild” infection. IT IS WELL-DOCUMENTED.

It is not a conspiracy that ppl have been vax-injured either.

People need to be heard, believed, shown compassion. Whatever their story is.

I hear from heartbroken people from all sides of this every day. I am asking everyone to please consider opening your heart & mind to another POV.

Sending ❤️ & support to all
