I had to tell a good friend that I can't get together with her over the holidays

I had to tell a good friend that I can't get together with her over the holidays.

"Jackie" used to be my neighbor. She's former surgical nurse and now is a medical director for at risk youth near a military base. We've been friends for many years. We did everything together when she lived here. We're avid gardeners...we hiked all over western Montana together...we had happy hour together almost every Thursday...we shared a CSA farm share between our two families. She's like a sister.

Two years ago she went through a nasty divorce and moved out of state with her two kids. She's now with her high school sweetheart and things are good for her for which I'm very happy.

Jackie texted that she and her SO were planning to come up here to pick up her kids after Christmas...they're with her ex-husband. She asked if she and her guy could spend New Years with us and I jumped at the chance to have her in my home again. THEN, I sent a text that said "Just so you know, we're vaxxed and boosted. You guys too?" She replied that they all had Covid in August and she's not worried about getting sick because they have "good old fashioned immunity". I'm floored. She's a friggin' nurse. She knows better...or she damned well ought to. I am so disappointed in her and I'm so disappointed that I won't be able to see her.

I'm just so sad. WTH has happened to people who used to have a functioning brain?

3. That is so sad. And shocking, given her profession.

I hope she understood why you don't want her to visit without it causing a rift. But it sounds like the friendship will always be different now, because she isn't quite who you thought she was.

It must be so hard: seeing her differently, not being able to see her in person at all, and worrying about her all at the same time.

5. It's really a gut punch when it comes from people who should know better.

It's like Covid is stalking us but so is this creeping anti-intellectualism. It's not new, but it's picked up quite a bit, it seems.

Since your friend and her family have already had the WuFlu and recovered she knows that contracting it is not some sort of automatic death sentence like the Chicken Little narrative.

Being a nurse, she also knows that the potential long term side effects cannot be known for a drug that's only existed for less than two years.

But if it scares you so much to be around the unvac'd then that tells us how much faith you have in the vacs.

 :thatsright:  :thatsright: As a nurse, the friend knows that immunity from recovery is both real and potent. That the gooberment and Star Moron MontanaMama stupidly/ignorantly don't acknowledge this fact doesn't make it a non-fact. :thatsright:  :thatsright:

Friend should have lied and said they were double boosted and unfortunately will have to cancel the visit because MontanaMama only has the one. Too dangerous.  :-)

Yeah, like the belief that vaccines will eradicate COVID or that natural immunity isn't a thing.

They join websites like DU and their brains stop functioning. They go there and talk shit about things about which they know very little.

Like natural immunity.

Even a DUer person should be able to understand that if it's good enough for an entire species since before recorded history, that it's good enough for modern times.

The combination of arrogance and stupidity from leftists and their ilk and fellow travelers, is the sort that would  eliminate them from the gene pool if society weren't so bubble wrapped.

A good friendship up in smoke, because that DUmmie allowed herself to be brainwashed. 

From twitchy, Fauci is now telling people outright to ban the unvaccinated from Christmas.

think back to a little over a year ago, I think around Sept 2020 when then VP candidate harris made the statement that she wouldn't get the vaccine if requested to by President Trump. 

Fastforward to life in America under Brandon and these same people are doing all they can to mandate people to take the very same vaccine that was developed during the Trump administration.

Most of them live alone and unloved so why should dying be any different for them?

Hey DUmbass  MontanaMama, that big sigh your "friend" let out when you insanely made your crazy demand wasn't from disappointment. It was from relief.
