It can be hard to stand against public pressure, until you realize that if they were asking you to do the right thing and it was in your best interest, they wouldn’t have to put all the pressure on you or resort to irrational, scaremongering rhetoric.
A former high-ranking first responder looks back at the Covid scare and shares his feelings, in hindsight.
I was a [first responder] in [very big city] during COVID. I was given the choice to take the vaccine or be fired. I was forced to retire and moved my family to a rural place. My life changed drastically and we’re still getting used to our new life, but I remember you saying , do not take the DNA altering shot no matter what. I knew you were right. Thank you. It was the most difficult time and decision of my life.
It was going to be a life-altering decision either way, but this way, his life was not only altered, but almost certainly improved and prolonged. Very few of us like change, and all of us find it initially uncomfortable, but the price one pays for doing the right thing is almost always a much better deal than the price one pays for submitting to the will of Clown World.
