So much pressure from friends

[Rottentofu]

Thanks guys. I needed this. Its easy to ignore internet trolls in the forum, but when it comes to friends who you grew up with, the situation becomes extremely difficult.

Having no friends is better than having friends like that.

Do you believe you are protecting them by getting vaxed and wearing a mask? If so, then get the vax.
If not, then how could you respect yourself by caving to their demands?

Are they afraid to go out in public too?

'Protecting' someone else is a pretty bad reason to get a vax if you're currently healthy. Everyone needs to take care of themselves, period.

If they are true friends they should respect your health choices as much as you respect theirs. If they are willing to throw away a friendship over this, what kind of friends are they?

I only know a few people who got the shot. I hope it does not cause any health problems for them. How rude and inconsiderate of your friends to even discuss this with you or try to pressure you. It is a private medical decision, it has nothing to do with them.

Their opinions should not be a factor in your decision. I certainly would not take the shot because my "friends" were pressuring me. Stay strong.

Damn , topic today is "Who is your real friend, during the pandemic?"

I think in their minds, they are trying to save my life. I don't blame them though. Both sides have their own stories.

Can you see the issue? You're not a sheep, you think for yourself knowing this is a rushed Vax.

Then they should drop the subject when you tell them that you are fine without it
It does sound, though, that you may believe it can save your life.

Has anyone seen this before? How reliable is this? Personally, I have doubt of anything coming out of CDC these days.

Seriously, the FDA review of the booster on video should shut everything down. Everyone thinks it's just about boosters but they talk about the Vax to make a decision on the boosters and they ruled 16 to 2 to decline it.

They talk about side effects and deaths from the Vax. It's all there from the FDA. It's right in front of people's faces.

ALL of my friends are vaccinated. They are bombarding me with pro vaccine facts, trying to convince me to take the vaccine. I feel like I am about to cave. I know they meant well and truly fear for my safety, but it's getting to a point where I feel that further refusal to take the vaccine might antagonize them. I really don't wanna do that as some are best/childhood friends.

Anyone else going through the same thing?

As soon as you get the vax, you'll be pushing people to do it.

That's what the covid juice does. It's by design.

Who do they credit for you not dying for the first 18+ months of covid?

They don’t seem to have any difficulty with it.

They have no problem hounding you, disrespecting your considered position and making you miserable.

You aren’t the bad guy.

If you and your friends were still in grade school, they’d all be expelled for bullying.

That’s what you’re experiencing.
