Anti-vaccers are actively trying to murder me and all of us
whether they admit it or not.
Last year I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. There isn't a cure for it, my only hope is to go into remission and a bone marrow transplant. After a long spring, summer and fall, of chemo, I went into remission on October 25th.
My transplant date was set for Dec 9th. Only I developed a bad infection that developed into sepsis. It almost killed me. Transplant canceled.
When I got better, I was rescheduled for the transplant. I got as far as getting my stem cells harvested. Then transplant unit shut down, because of Covid.
Every step of the way has been a struggle. It didn't need to be.
At first, isolated because of Covid. I was happy when the Vaccine came out. Because then I could feel a bit more comfortable going grocery shopping. Hey, I got vaccinated, surely everyone who could would also. Right? Of course, the Anti-vaccers put a stop to that idea.
Because of them, I have only held my first grandchild 1 time and seen her 4 times. She only lives 5 miles from me. The thing that helped me get through was I was going to get the transplant and when I was revaccinated for every disease since childhood, I could spoil her rotten. Oh, but no the antivaccers made sure I can't do that.
Not only that I am petrified I will come out of remission, get another infection or Covid while waiting for this surge to ease up. I mean what are we on now the 5th, 6th, 7th surge because they refuse to vaccinate.
So please tell me again how I am to forgive or understand those ****ers? They are actively trying to kill me in more ways than one. **** them.

5. Out of curiousity
I am on the list to receive a liver and a kidney. I have been unable to recieve a vaccination because of the danger it poses to my organs. I feel like your messaging includes me too and I'd like to know why exactly.. I can't help that I can't get vaccinated... And after I spent time talking to people, you'd be surprised how many people have had the desire but can't because of medical reasons..

7. Are you an anti-vaccer?
I was very ill when I was diagnosed and had to wait until I got well enough to handle the vaccine to get it. I got my very 1st jab that afternoon.
I specifically said anti-vaccer. I don't consider people unable to get vaccinated an anti-vaccer. An anti-vaccer is someone who can get the vaccine and refuses to do so for various reasons. The most common one to own the libs
Well, if that were true, I guess you've been 'owned.'
Vaccinated - still get Kung Flu
Vaccinated - Can still pass the Kung Flu to others
Unvaccinated - still get the Kung Flu
Unvaccinated - Can still pass the Kung Flu to others.
Sounds to me like the only ones who are, or could be, risking something, are those who are unvaccinated.

21. It's more than being anti vaccine.
The anti maskers are spreading omicron. Since even vaccinated people can get it, masks in public are essential.
A couple days ago I was in a store when an unmasked guy got in line at the checkout behind me. I was wearing an N95 and he seemed to be following me around the store before that.
He stood close enough to me in the line that we were almost touching. I stepped back and said, "Excuse me?" I was already annoyed because the cashier's nose was hanging out of her flimsy cloth mask.
The guy backed up, snickering, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh yeah. Distancing and all that stuff." Big grin on his face when he mockingly said, "Wouldn't want to get a cough." I said, "You think it's funny? I don't."
He switched to victim mode and said, "Hey lady, take it easy. It's just a cough. No big deal."
I lost it completely and snapped back, " It's a big effing deal to me, you ignorant asshole. It killed my brother and my uncle." I was so angry that I was shaking.
The cashier spoke to him in a sympathetic tone and motioned him to move closer to her. "It's ok. She's leaving. You can come over here until she's gone."
I hate when I let these assholes upset me so much. I wish that I had stayed calm and asked him what was wrong with him to make jokes out of people dying.
Now they're mask snobs. Before it didn't matter. Just wear a pretty thing over your nose and mouth and all would be right with the world. OR better yet, get one with a **** Trump on it!!! Yeah, that'll stop it.
Now they're all about N95 masks because they've finally been told the truth ... kind of. They still have no idea what fit testing is or that you have to be clean shaven for it to even work, AND they don't last forever.
This shit has bothered me since it all started. It has been nothing but theater from the beginning and I refused to play along.
And for the last bolded quote ... WTF?! Seriously?! This person has over 10,000 posts there and feels like it can ask someone "what is wrong with you to want to make jokes out of dying people??"
