You are telling us you have chosen a side while trying not to tell us you have chosen a side. Thanks for making the right choice.
The reason you don't understand how that works is because you have become disconnected from people who you do not agree with politically and socially. Been there done that but there is no "hope" in it. I don't agree with them either but I am holding on to the connection and trying to find ways to communicate with commonalities. We are all human as in NOT PERFECT. We have to be honest with ourselves about our imperfections otherwise we start to throw stones. In my opinion throwing stones only conflates the problem within social structures. So you are the one choosing sides and throwing stones. I prefer to try to reason with people not judge them for their faults. I don't always get it right but I am putting in the effort because I feel those same desires as you do to disconnect from people. I am not religious but I like what those words in red that tell us about ourselves and how we should learn to forgive. I am pretty good at being a warrior but I want something different in my old age. You are a warrior too and I probably understand you more than I would like :)

Antiva, “I won’t take an unapproved vaccine.”

FDA, “The vaccine has full FDA approval.”

Antiva, “I won’t take the vaccine because it was only approved because of politics.”

No need to say that I have chosen a side, I have made that very clear. When enough of these deniers or members of their families die from Covid maybe then they will start to believe it’s a real threat.

Most of them do believe it is a threat now that their loved ones are dead. I think that is very sad and I would like to connect to them in a manner that maybe just maybe they will never make this mistake again. The mistake you are making (in my humble opinion) is that your manner seems to cause a negative reaction not positive from these "deniers". Yes, I use a different method and still get the same negative reaction...but I do leave the door open for hope. So neither of us can claim any wonderful contribution to society! Maybe we are both wrong :)

That's more than any other state, data reported Friday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows.

The state's death toll is 42,252...
