Thank you for sharing your story. It's heartbreaking. Perhaps someday, under another name, I will share my own story. I will say though that these covid years have been like living through a horror movie; so many people's minds and hearts so strangely and so suddenly clamped shut. But those of us who could see what was (and still is) happening are, more and more, realizing that were were never alone, although it seemed so in 2020-2022, and, slowly but surely, we are finding each other.
My old friends (who sound a lot like your old friends)-- I gave up on them a long time ago. They were making no more sense in their thinking about all things covid in 2024 than they were in 2022 or, for that matter, 2020 and, as a general principle, without an abundance of caution, I don't attempt to bang sense into people who are not in their right minds. Some of these individuals I'm still friendly with, but it's "smile and wave," gee, I'm so busy these days, don't know where the time flies, etc. I much prefer my own company, or new friends of more sturdy character. I miss them— but I always have to remind myself, what I miss is my misperception of them as having character and intellect and heart that they did not in fact have.
I often wonder how this will play out. It seems to me that some now know they've been conned, but they don't want to talk about it. Most continue to take refuge in the old canard, "imagine, it would have been worse, I might have died of covid if I hadn't taken all those boosters." I learned early on that attempting to speak frankly with them is like poking an intoxicated person with a stick. So I don't.
I'm not saying my choice in this painful matter is best for others, but it's best for me.
This: "...what I miss is my misperception of them as having character and intellect and heart that they did not in fact have." That is, indeed, the hardest. Thanks for this, TB.
As a practicing physician I knew there was something drastically wrong when they told doctors not to treat patients until they needed hospitalization! When in human history has that been the case? Vaccines don’t treat infections, and I took an oath. None of my patients had to be hospitalized because I used the FLCCC protocols which include ivermectin, the so-called “horse wormer” that works like a charm. High dose vitamins and -voila!- everyone lives.
PS- I’m wondering why more ob-gyns are not going to jail for treating young women bleeding to death in their ER’s ? What happened to their oath?
Thanks for the reminder re: don’t “treat patients until they needed hospitalization”. That statement right there is proof positive that this was an evil agenda practiced in Event 201. And let’s NOT FORGET the bonus’s for MDs for meeting vaccination quotas nor for hospitals for C19 deaths certificates….nor the dancing nurses and the ones who didn’t listen to their consciences when doc’s administered the deadly “standard of care”, including remdesivir and mandatory vents.
And I passed out IVM to family, friends and church and had the same experience…within 24 hours they were 90% better and were back to normal in 48 hrs!!!
Dan, so many can relate to your story. I was a cosmetologist/salon owner with a customer base that I had interacted with for 10, 20 and even 30+ years, I saw them every 4-6 weeks and knew them well. People who stick with you for so long share many intimate details of their lives and I knew their, spouses, children, grandchildren, extended family members and friends through their sharing of their lives.
It was incredible how quickly my customers turned on me as the jab rolled out. The salon had taken every single measured order by NY State, which was similarly ridiculous to California. When they realized I wasn't taking the vax, and believe me, I knew the danger of speaking out, so was cautious but things went sideways. I was accused of putting people in danger, told, "You're one of the smartest people I know, what's wrong with you?" My co-workers whom I had a very good relationship with never said anything, but they thought I was nuts and were careful around me.
I ended up abruptly walking out on my career because my husband is Canadian and us not getting the shot was going to make our cross border lifestyle hell. We now reside in Florida.
I felt guilty for a while because of the way I left my job, I truly loved it and my clients so much. Overtime I realized that I didn't leave them, they left me. They left me over some government demand and didn't care that I wanted to make the decision. Over the years, as I've seen the vaccine uptake decline, I know that "they" know. They will NEVER admit it however. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.
Few of those people are in my life, I can count them on one hand. We have come across like minded people, but things will never be the same. I'm grateful my adult children and their wives did NOT take the shots. I don't hold anger in my heart, but neither do I feel a need to forgive. They all secretly know they were wrong, and the first we all need to do when we know were wrong is to apologize.
This all resonates with me as well as the original article.
People I thought would know better didn't and we soon learned who we could talk to (usually former nurses, those willing to ask questions, etc.). My background in BioTech informed me something wasn't right the day the lockdowns came. We pushed back, but others went along with CovTheater. The more time went by the more I knew it was all B.S. and the worse it got for the vaxed. Cancer rates, excess deaths, et al...it's really unbelievable if I hadn't lived through it. I lost my own father via the 'system' that still believes what it does. It's deathcare and has no intentions of improving lives, only masking symptoms.
The worst are familiy members that judged us harshly, and never had the nerve to apologize and still won't. They don't even bother trying to read, or try to understand the agenda behind it. We've moved on, still talk about superficial things, but I'll never understand the criticism by those who wouldn't lift a pinky to do some homework and find out WTH is happening in our world and why. I'm not anyone special, but you have to put in the work or else you're just LARPing around. If you're too dumb to care, please don't act as if the big black propaganda box in your home is going to help.
Look for the good and help those who are trying, or can't help themselves, but would like to. You'll know them, and the others, well, maybe they'll eventually find their way. Maybe.
Yup, they left you. And you walked, good for you. Too bad for Florida (I really don't care for Florida, though I get the appeal of stepping away from so much craziness).
So courageous of you, and an amazing story of your hard work to be faithful to your conscience, and not to compromise your life testimony…… So very sad, and maddening, that of all those countless former friends and contacts that you might have influenced away from great illness and loss, and their noses were so high in the air that they couldn’t read the pages. ….. I have siblings and friends the same….only approved wiki web sites, can you beleeeeeve?! Keep saying, all those degrees, and yet no intellectual curiosity. Which would have helped them fight back, their loved ones still be alive…..sickening egos, never earned degrees in humility for shure…. LOL. Those degrees not offered in those places!! What a waste of talent and futures … stubbornness just to prove they couldn’t be wrong…..amazing
Forgiveness is always extremely difficult. Sometimes the awareness that you are not the same people as you were before is enough. Forgiveness does not require reciprocation from the other side nor does it mean that you need to allow that other person into your life ever again. I've come to rationalize that the trite mistakes were made but Covid was killing people type of excuses are protective to the jabbed, who would rather think about anything besides being duped, lied to, poisoned with unknown long term consequences, and discriminating in service of murderers.
I for one am happy that I lived out this period mostly in Thailand, where my family did face extreme discrimination over the jabs and the masks, but where I was distant enough to be able to move on from it (literally). I don't know how I would have handled close friends in the USA not wanting to see me or demanding I show proof of jabs to attend some event. I wasn't there to press the issue, so they have the out of claiming that they would have acted differently.
Sometimes people cling to the lie because the truth is so dark and twisted that they can't deal with it...
Exactly. Admitting reality would shatter the world view of these dimwits. They would literally rather die than admit any mistake or error in judgement. And so many will do just that. I’m done wasting my breath
Yes I am understanding more and more that those who, even in the closet of their mind are beginning to understand what they weren’t willing to understand then, but aren’t able to say, “please send me more information,” “I’m sorry I bullied you so much, I didn’t know” So hard to know how many fell for it, encouraged it, “wow! Look how much more in my paycheck this week…”. Yuk Yuk
I find it infuriating to listen to these people spout slogans and then when challenged, back away or simply dismiss what you are saying. It shows a lack of intelligence and capacity for truth seeking. I had one "friend" remark "oppression is okay as long as you are on the side of the oppressor." Wow. So many people have shown their true face and it's ugly.
The Globalists have gradually succeeded in dumbing us down…
Sadly , money is our god now; we are slaves to authority, and
material comforts have lulled us to sleep 😴
Additionally…decades of propaganda from the Media, the schools and Hollywood have turned us into zombies. 😵💫
Many people succumbed to the fear promulgated by the Media and the corrupt “experts”.
And many were just too lazy to investigate
a little deeper.
And some latched onto this “crisis” as a way to feel important and virtuous…they were going to “save the world.”
Yuri Bezmenov:
“As I mentioned before exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures.
Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him a concentration camp he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crashes his balls, then he will understand, but not before that. That’s the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.”
Yes
It is sad and shocking, but this Plandemic has exposed men’s souls now.
What was hidden from sight is now being revealed:
intellectual laziness
(people accepting government explanations without questioning or researching anything for themselves)
and love of comfort
(people afraid of losing their jobs or their pleasures of traveling or socializing).
Have you been in an IDF concentration camp recently? Have you tried to protest against the joos & anti-fa in Portland, OR recently? I've interviewed a joo that was in Auschwitz for over 5 years. They had it better than I had it in Lompoc USA federal prison, Lompoc CA
And the idiots accepted from government spokesmen and media propaganda outlets that research was best left to “the experts”. Independent research was condemned, and the fools parroted that idea, forgetting the reason they were ever educated.
Thank you for sharing your story. It resonates loudly with what my family experienced and I recognize all the characters and behavior. Fortunately our family went through this period while living in France. I say fortunately because even though there were many similarities between the Bay area and our locale, importantly they didn't shut down the schools and our kids suffered much less. But my wife and I both needed to be in San Francisco every few months during the "plandemic" and we saw the stark difference between the two places.
Like the author,we are a part of a tightly knit group (the San Francisco & Berkeley French schools community on our part). We followed the story closely and indeed the Ioannidis seroprevelance study was an early indication for us as well. I also shared this and other contraindications with our friend groups - and had a very similar push back. Reading Dan's story almost feels like looking in the mirror -except that we haven't met many who have seen it our way. Although we haven't been shunned or disinvited as much by our friends it still lingers under the skin..the iniquity, the brushing under the rug attitude, the comforting (for them) complaisance that they went along and forgive each other if they were perhaps slightly offside..
Amongst highly educated and financially successful Bay area folk it is acceptable to have been on the side that went along with the hysteria. The military grade propaganda was and remains very effective there. On each visit every other month of 2020-2022 I could very much see and feel the group think in San Francisco: the joggers wearing masks, the dirty looks I received for not playing along with the mask Kabuki, the uncomfortable avoidance of any discussion about it with our friend groups, and even the absurd suspicions that we were somehow "Trumpers" because we didn't imbibe the Kayfabe on offer. (We're solid believers that red/blue team is a false choice). And alas, I think it has only gotten better on the surface when we visit now -don't ask don't tell seems the polite stance. My wife prefers not to be cast out and our friends prefer not to be reminded and slowly the unpleasantness fades. The qualities we share as well as the other things that made us friends in the first place, they can outweigh the troubles. But we know it is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow.
All this to say I really appreciate Dan putting his story out for others to learn from. And I agree that some reflection and recognition from society in general would surely help in avoiding something like this again and make that bitter pill dissolve eventually. But like Dan, I think the focus will have to be on us to forgive and to thank God for the insights we've been allowed, given, earned?? It is weak tea but likely the only thing on the menu.
On the bright side we can be thankful for the warning these events have given us. If such world renowned places as Berkeley and San Francisco - heretofore bastions of revolutionary light - if even these open minded places can be so thoroughly corrupted..well, I reckon that's a pretty clear sign. And if we find like-minded folk amongst the ashes that's even more of a blessing. Friendships formed in a foxhole or concentration camp tend to be strong. I know I'll be seeking out a network of people like Dan to replace the poison of resentment. Thank you for that, I'll be looking for you!
Thank you for sharing this. Living in MN (twin cities) during the pandemic and working for 3M, supplier of the N95 mask (what a culture!), I can relate to a lot of this rejection and crazy. We moved out of the twin cities to get away from it, only 45 minutes. But wow what a difference that made to find people that did not live in fear. I still to this day hear pride from people at work when they proclaim they got COVID and will be out of work for a week. I have never missed a day of work in the last 5 years.
Wow. In 20 plus years I have only had two bad cough/colds, one standing in the hall to cough for ten minutes, but couldn’t leave work…..the second one two weeks of bad cold, using 4 rolls of tp to blow my nose…. But never took the vac I look around now, read the statistics and grieve…..it could have been so much easier around the world, if everyone had been awake
Thank you for such a wonderful article and your heartfelt words that really lay your soul bare. You and your family have been through so much. But you are now shining through. Someone like me from the other side of the world, that in former times would never have crossed you path, appreciates your thoughts and feel somewhat sympatico. As you said, we've all had to navigate not only ourselves, but those we love, through this horrendous time. That we have all been under the most sophisticated psychological mind bending operation in living memory can offer some justification as to the reaction of some people. I am now convinced that some people are hard wired somehow to question; they need to join the dots, and remain restless until they do. Others, well, we all unfortunately know them as the easily led, the brainwashed majority.
This has nothing to do with the level of education, income, status, age, experience etc etc. Some of the most inquiring minds I have encountered in the last four years have been from ordinary folk, with the most unexpected insights and who are highly knowledgeable about a whole range of topics we've now come to discuss under the topic of freedom.
I also am struggling letting go of the anger. Seething anger it is sometimes as I realize the spell we've all been subjected to by those who want us dead. Unfortunately, I was unable to save my daughter-in-law who passed away at age 36 from the most dreadful turbo cancer, leaving two tiny children. We also suffered the ridicule, the threats of never seeing grandchildren unless we shut up about it all. Now watching my amazingly brave son cope with his two little ones when he should have his beautiful wife by his side makes me so angry. Why the heck shouldn't it? He told me very recently that he knows why she died and that she had choices, and I now must let the anger go. He now pursues a punishing detox regime and is determined to rid his body of the poisons that were injected.
I have a fully vaxxed medico daughter about to give birth to her first child in one week at the age of 40. Through the entire covid madness, of course we were the cretins who couldn't research "proper peer reviewed papers." Safe and effective they all said. You must shut up about this nonsense you know nothing about or we won't come and visit they said. I just pray to God every day that all goes well a week from now. This is something I should be looking forward to, not feeling terrified about.
Finally, our family has come together, sort of. We never mention that which cannot be named. It's much better that way. But the anger has this dreadful habit of crawling back, in much the same way you describe. I am working on it, but probably not very well it would seem. Thank you once again for the great article!
Yes, our task is to digest the anger and move onto something bigger. I hope this for you, as it sounds like your son needs you, your love, your support, your grandkids do too. Hopefully you can one daay teach them holy anger, sane, constructive anger, not the slow self-poisining type. I join you in this quest. Deep bow.
Bingo Vee! This is the sentiment for which I was reading the comments. Constructive Anger is the golden path to Justice, without which this evil Culling will keep happening. Let us be not timid in a time of War.
That's what the ostriches are missing and with their head in the hole, they are much easier targets for those who want to decrease the human population to "save the planet from climate change." It's a Fraud wrapped in a Scam with global death as the endgame. How do we not yell the truth about that!
Best of luck to all, especially those like Missfit, with loved ones lost and loved ones still at risk of this satanic attack on humanity. The outcome depends entirely on those of us who can See It and are willing and able to Fight It.

Very sad, so sorry….indeed I can’t share all this with my sibs and their mates. Won’t listen….. Hard to be patched up here and there, with conversations we used to use, and now that vocabulary is not available. Feel like a fraud knowing things and can’t share them
I too had a pregnant daughter-in-law during 2021 and I thought I was going to lose my mind. She had been through IVF 3 times from 2019-2020 and when she had an egg successfully implanted in 2021, they gave her the C19 shot as well. Then gave her a booster in 2022, a few months before my granddaughter was born.
She was born perfect and healthy and I cannot describe the stunned relief and gratitude I felt.
But then, there is the gauntlet to run with all the OTHER infant shots she's been happily given because - see, it all was ok so keep trusting and stay on the same track.
I have watched her get a crossed eye from a TMI, not speak till she was 2 and still in nappies full time at 2.5 years of age. But, this is 'normal' now, friends. All the kids at her playgroup are a bit damaged but no Mum notices because they are ALL that way.
You see the game now? Any exception to the narrative is dangerous. "Autism is genetic, mum. We don't want to hear it and stop quoting that weirdo RFK Jr."
I know why I still can't forgive. But it's the Machine that needs to be dismantled before people will rub their eyes and say "what happened?!"
Thank you for sharing this. It’s the same here. And you are totally correct about the delayed developmental milestones. I thought it was just me who noticed. I also thought it was something to do with full time child care. Children seem different but with so many jabs on board by the time they go to school is it any wonder … We must all pray for all the children at this time.. they certainly will not experience the care free childhood that we did …..
I’m so sorry for the heavy burdens you have been carrying, holding your breath and hoping that the twisted minds would not cause suffering for the new life. A day at a time my friend …. Love the little one and bless the new day
Your story felt familiar. I was a nurse for 30 years and no one in my extended families listened to me, with the exception of one niece and her family. Thankfully my husband saw things my way. I also had been a nursing instructor and eventually lost a dear friend who we could not see eyes to eye on anything happening at the time. I truly thought she was a life long friend. I felt much like a lone person preaching to a vast crowd of unbelievers. Thankfully I had just took an early retirement as my husband and I started our own business. I couldn’t have worked as a nurse in that environment. It was hard and now my family mostly have moved past it. Several we don’t bring it up. It was hard having the medical background and having my urgent words of caution ignored. Most never took a second or third vaccine. Some had medical issues because of it. Others we ignore the subject. They operated from a state of fear. It didn’t help that some church leaders made a statement about vaccines being safe and effective. It was then a righteous thing to do. That I still can’t get over. I hope for a wiser tomorrow. Most won’t fall for the fear mongering again. But some will.
Church pressures indeed….I know of churches in SE who held potlucks with vac shots after service. I wonder how their attendance has been affected with that. And whether choir members have dropped in the choir loft while singing the anthem, months later…. Clock is ticking, wicked wicked. ~~~Turns my stomach The phrase “….we’ve been life time friends…” ummmm. Someone will have to say it after I’m gone…since we never know do we?!
For me, its a case of if I can let go of the pain caused to me by another person, I am free. It doesnt mean I talk to them again if I dont feel like it. Or it may mean I do interact with them, always remembering just where their consciousness is at, but being as kind as possible. The kindness comes from my consciousness and my choice. I have let go of something that affected my life badly, but I can see the consciousness of the harmer. Its slightly grown over many years but still I keep my memory of the harm as my protection from it happening again, with anyone. When they tried to push me into the vax, I had my memory of the harm they inflicted with their control agenda, in the past. That was how I said, "Not your business, choose for yourself, but not for me."
When a person tresspasses on anothers right to make their own decision, it is an error, and one that we must not allow them to do to us.🙏
I'm so sorry what you've had to go through, it is quite unbelievable. Your son getting concussed by the son of a vaccine zealot, all those people dying, thrown off the mountain bike team despite your great contribution and on and on. It's just so completely shocking.
My life is so much smaller so even though it's been a little tricky with some friends and family it's more of a stand off situation which I think may eventually resolve although perhaps it won't because even though no one vilified me I tend to wonder how I can stay friends with people who are so brainwashed and unwilling to discuss the subject. That's what really bothers me - the censorship. If somebody wants to tell me why they think I should take the jab or that the measures taken were sensible then lay it on. Tell me and I'll tell you why I think you're wrong but I'm not going to try to silence you and I don't want you to try to silence me.
Although on the other side of the planet, we also experienced identical behaviour around us here. The vaxed feared the unvaxed - now the unvaxed fear the vaxed, and fear for them.
The planners behind this global disaster knew full well that this would be the end result.
We may probably be divided for generations to come.
Hearing stories like yours helps me to know I'm not alone. It's time to start telling our stories, not to gain sympathy, but to start healing. And, maybe, part of that healing involves overriding those ingrained protective instincts and leaving some of those people, who we would have done anything to protect, behind. There's always going to be fearmongering by those who want to control society. It's their go-to manipulation technique. We've GOT to see it for what it is in order to keep moving forward.
Dear Dan, don’t worry about this idea of forgiveness. It’s just a made up biblical construct anyway. Try and let go of the anger and let go of the hurt. Find new friends who are worthy of you! You sound like a special guy. Give yourself a hug .. you deserve it.
Here's how I find the easiest way to forgive. I simply remember what my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ said when he was looking down from the cross at the people that were simultaneously butchering him. "Father, forgive them because they do not know what they're doing." Luke 23:34
Jesus describe these same Pharisees and Sadducees that were crucify him as blind guides and he knew that they were ultimately doomed to destruction because of their own heart, hardness, but still, he looked down and without stretched arms, provided them with a free gift of forgiveness which they ultimately refused.
Jesus also said: "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." Matthew 6:14–15
If you understand how much you have been forgiven for by your heavenly father extension of forgiveness to the most vile sin is possible. With God all things are possible.
That about covers it….”don’t know what they were doing,” and with all documentary and statistics available still don’t know …. Yes, it’s very hard, but keep up hope that someone will wake up in time for their own recovery…. Painful to let go when we care so much….
Thank you for sharing your story. It's heartbreaking. Perhaps someday, under another name, I will share my own story. I will say though that these covid years have been like living through a horror movie; so many people's minds and hearts so strangely and so suddenly clamped shut. But those of us who could see what was (and still is) happening are, more and more, realizing that were were never alone, although it seemed so in 2020-2022, and, slowly but surely, we are finding each other.

I often wonder how this will play out. It seems to me that some now know they've been conned, but they don't want to talk about it. Most continue to take refuge in the old canard, "imagine, it would have been worse, I might have died of covid if I hadn't taken all those boosters." I learned early on that attempting to speak frankly with them is like poking an intoxicated person with a stick. So I don't.
I'm not saying my choice in this painful matter is best for others, but it's best for me.
This: "...what I miss is my misperception of them as having character and intellect and heart that they did not in fact have." That is, indeed, the hardest. Thanks for this, TB.
I've stuck my neck out a few times lately and get met with utterly blank looks. Their brains are stuck and its disturbing.
This is especially insightful:
"...what I miss is my misperception of them as having character and intellect and heart that they did not in fact have."

Thanks for the reminder re: don’t “treat patients until they needed hospitalization”. That statement right there is proof positive that this was an evil agenda practiced in Event 201. And let’s NOT FORGET the bonus’s for MDs for meeting vaccination quotas nor for hospitals for C19 deaths certificates….nor the dancing nurses and the ones who didn’t listen to their consciences when doc’s administered the deadly “standard of care”, including remdesivir and mandatory vents.
And I passed out IVM to family, friends and church and had the same experience…within 24 hours they were 90% better and were back to normal in 48 hrs!!!
Wow, thank you for adhering to your oath. That is remarkable currently.
Dan, so many can relate to your story. I was a cosmetologist/salon owner with a customer base that I had interacted with for 10, 20 and even 30+ years, I saw them every 4-6 weeks and knew them well. People who stick with you for so long share many intimate details of their lives and I knew their, spouses, children, grandchildren, extended family members and friends through their sharing of their lives.

If you're too dumb to care, please don't act as if the big black propaganda box in your home is going to help.
Look for the good and help those who are trying, or can't help themselves, but would like to. You'll know them, and the others, well, maybe they'll eventually find their way. Maybe.
Yup, they left you. And you walked, good for you. Too bad for Florida (I really don't care for Florida, though I get the appeal of stepping away from so much craziness).
So courageous of you, and an amazing story of your hard work to be faithful to your conscience, and not to compromise your life testimony…… So very sad, and maddening, that of all those countless former friends and contacts that you might have influenced away from great illness and loss, and their noses were so high in the air that they couldn’t read the pages. ….. I have siblings and friends the same….only approved wiki web sites, can you beleeeeeve?! Keep saying, all those degrees, and yet no intellectual curiosity. Which would have helped them fight back, their loved ones still be alive…..sickening egos, never earned degrees in humility for shure…. LOL. Those degrees not offered in those places!! What a waste of talent and futures … stubbornness just to prove they couldn’t be wrong…..amazing
We moved to the middle of nowhere to avoid these nitwits, hopefully forever.
Forgiveness is always extremely difficult. Sometimes the awareness that you are not the same people as you were before is enough. Forgiveness does not require reciprocation from the other side nor does it mean that you need to allow that other person into your life ever again. I've come to rationalize that the trite mistakes were made but Covid was killing people type of excuses are protective to the jabbed, who would rather think about anything besides being duped, lied to, poisoned with unknown long term consequences, and discriminating in service of murderers.
I for one am happy that I lived out this period mostly in Thailand, where my family did face extreme discrimination over the jabs and the masks, but where I was distant enough to be able to move on from it (literally). I don't know how I would have handled close friends in the USA not wanting to see me or demanding I show proof of jabs to attend some event. I wasn't there to press the issue, so they have the out of claiming that they would have acted differently.
Sometimes people cling to the lie because the truth is so dark and twisted that they can't deal with it...
totally, facing the existencial truth of their actions is unfathomable...
Exactly. Admitting reality would shatter the world view of these dimwits. They would literally rather die than admit any mistake or error in judgement. And so many will do just that. I’m done wasting my breath
Yes I am understanding more and more that those who, even in the closet of their mind are beginning to understand what they weren’t willing to understand then, but aren’t able to say, “please send me more information,” “I’m sorry I bullied you so much, I didn’t know” So hard to know how many fell for it, encouraged it, “wow! Look how much more in my paycheck this week…”. Yuk Yuk
I find it infuriating to listen to these people spout slogans and then when challenged, back away or simply dismiss what you are saying. It shows a lack of intelligence and capacity for truth seeking. I had one "friend" remark "oppression is okay as long as you are on the side of the oppressor." Wow. So many people have shown their true face and it's ugly.
Wonderful article! 💥💥💥
The Globalists have gradually succeeded in dumbing us down…
Sadly , money is our god now; we are slaves to authority, and
material comforts have lulled us to sleep 😴
Additionally…decades of propaganda from the Media, the schools and Hollywood have turned us into zombies. 😵💫
Many people succumbed to the fear promulgated by the Media and the corrupt “experts”.
And many were just too lazy to investigate
a little deeper.
And some latched onto this “crisis” as a way to feel important and virtuous…they were going to “save the world.”
Yuri Bezmenov:
“As I mentioned before exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures.
Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him a concentration camp he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crashes his balls, then he will understand, but not before that. That’s the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.”
Yes
It is sad and shocking, but this Plandemic has exposed men’s souls now.
What was hidden from sight is now being revealed:
intellectual laziness
(people accepting government explanations without questioning or researching anything for themselves)
and love of comfort
(people afraid of losing their jobs or their pleasures of traveling or socializing).
We have been being tested…
and most 😖 have failed.
we can't change what we don't take responsibility for. we let ourselves be dumbed down.
Yes, comfort - as a civilization, we are dying (killing ourselves, really) by comfort-overdose!
Have you been in an IDF concentration camp recently? Have you tried to protest against the joos & anti-fa in Portland, OR recently? I've interviewed a joo that was in Auschwitz for over 5 years. They had it better than I had it in Lompoc USA federal prison, Lompoc CA
Another 'forbidden' topic. Once you see one illusion, a cascade effect begins.
I think that's what normies are really afraid of - losing their point of normality to shelter within.
And the idiots accepted from government spokesmen and media propaganda outlets that research was best left to “the experts”. Independent research was condemned, and the fools parroted that idea, forgetting the reason they were ever educated.
Thank you for sharing your story. It resonates loudly with what my family experienced and I recognize all the characters and behavior. Fortunately our family went through this period while living in France. I say fortunately because even though there were many similarities between the Bay area and our locale, importantly they didn't shut down the schools and our kids suffered much less. But my wife and I both needed to be in San Francisco every few months during the "plandemic" and we saw the stark difference between the two places.
Like the author,we are a part of a tightly knit group (the San Francisco & Berkeley French schools community on our part). We followed the story closely and indeed the Ioannidis seroprevelance study was an early indication for us as well. I also shared this and other contraindications with our friend groups - and had a very similar push back. Reading Dan's story almost feels like looking in the mirror -except that we haven't met many who have seen it our way. Although we haven't been shunned or disinvited as much by our friends it still lingers under the skin..the iniquity, the brushing under the rug attitude, the comforting (for them) complaisance that they went along and forgive each other if they were perhaps slightly offside..
Amongst highly educated and financially successful Bay area folk it is acceptable to have been on the side that went along with the hysteria. The military grade propaganda was and remains very effective there. On each visit every other month of 2020-2022 I could very much see and feel the group think in San Francisco: the joggers wearing masks, the dirty looks I received for not playing along with the mask Kabuki, the uncomfortable avoidance of any discussion about it with our friend groups, and even the absurd suspicions that we were somehow "Trumpers" because we didn't imbibe the Kayfabe on offer. (We're solid believers that red/blue team is a false choice). And alas, I think it has only gotten better on the surface when we visit now -don't ask don't tell seems the polite stance. My wife prefers not to be cast out and our friends prefer not to be reminded and slowly the unpleasantness fades. The qualities we share as well as the other things that made us friends in the first place, they can outweigh the troubles. But we know it is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow.
All this to say I really appreciate Dan putting his story out for others to learn from. And I agree that some reflection and recognition from society in general would surely help in avoiding something like this again and make that bitter pill dissolve eventually. But like Dan, I think the focus will have to be on us to forgive and to thank God for the insights we've been allowed, given, earned?? It is weak tea but likely the only thing on the menu.
On the bright side we can be thankful for the warning these events have given us. If such world renowned places as Berkeley and San Francisco - heretofore bastions of revolutionary light - if even these open minded places can be so thoroughly corrupted..well, I reckon that's a pretty clear sign. And if we find like-minded folk amongst the ashes that's even more of a blessing. Friendships formed in a foxhole or concentration camp tend to be strong. I know I'll be seeking out a network of people like Dan to replace the poison of resentment. Thank you for that, I'll be looking for you!
I love how you put that, "I know I'll be seeking out a network of people like Dan to replace the poison of resentment."
Thank you for this comment.
Thank you for sharing this. Living in MN (twin cities) during the pandemic and working for 3M, supplier of the N95 mask (what a culture!), I can relate to a lot of this rejection and crazy. We moved out of the twin cities to get away from it, only 45 minutes. But wow what a difference that made to find people that did not live in fear. I still to this day hear pride from people at work when they proclaim they got COVID and will be out of work for a week. I have never missed a day of work in the last 5 years.
Wow. In 20 plus years I have only had two bad cough/colds, one standing in the hall to cough for ten minutes, but couldn’t leave work…..the second one two weeks of bad cold, using 4 rolls of tp to blow my nose…. But never took the vac I look around now, read the statistics and grieve…..it could have been so much easier around the world, if everyone had been awake
Thank you for such a wonderful article and your heartfelt words that really lay your soul bare. You and your family have been through so much. But you are now shining through. Someone like me from the other side of the world, that in former times would never have crossed you path, appreciates your thoughts and feel somewhat sympatico. As you said, we've all had to navigate not only ourselves, but those we love, through this horrendous time. That we have all been under the most sophisticated psychological mind bending operation in living memory can offer some justification as to the reaction of some people. I am now convinced that some people are hard wired somehow to question; they need to join the dots, and remain restless until they do. Others, well, we all unfortunately know them as the easily led, the brainwashed majority.
This has nothing to do with the level of education, income, status, age, experience etc etc. Some of the most inquiring minds I have encountered in the last four years have been from ordinary folk, with the most unexpected insights and who are highly knowledgeable about a whole range of topics we've now come to discuss under the topic of freedom.
I also am struggling letting go of the anger. Seething anger it is sometimes as I realize the spell we've all been subjected to by those who want us dead. Unfortunately, I was unable to save my daughter-in-law who passed away at age 36 from the most dreadful turbo cancer, leaving two tiny children. We also suffered the ridicule, the threats of never seeing grandchildren unless we shut up about it all. Now watching my amazingly brave son cope with his two little ones when he should have his beautiful wife by his side makes me so angry. Why the heck shouldn't it? He told me very recently that he knows why she died and that she had choices, and I now must let the anger go. He now pursues a punishing detox regime and is determined to rid his body of the poisons that were injected.
I have a fully vaxxed medico daughter about to give birth to her first child in one week at the age of 40. Through the entire covid madness, of course we were the cretins who couldn't research "proper peer reviewed papers." Safe and effective they all said. You must shut up about this nonsense you know nothing about or we won't come and visit they said. I just pray to God every day that all goes well a week from now. This is something I should be looking forward to, not feeling terrified about.
Finally, our family has come together, sort of. We never mention that which cannot be named. It's much better that way. But the anger has this dreadful habit of crawling back, in much the same way you describe. I am working on it, but probably not very well it would seem. Thank you once again for the great article!
Yes, our task is to digest the anger and move onto something bigger. I hope this for you, as it sounds like your son needs you, your love, your support, your grandkids do too. Hopefully you can one daay teach them holy anger, sane, constructive anger, not the slow self-poisining type. I join you in this quest. Deep bow.
Bingo Vee! This is the sentiment for which I was reading the comments. Constructive Anger is the golden path to Justice, without which this evil Culling will keep happening. Let us be not timid in a time of War.
That's what the ostriches are missing and with their head in the hole, they are much easier targets for those who want to decrease the human population to "save the planet from climate change." It's a Fraud wrapped in a Scam with global death as the endgame. How do we not yell the truth about that!
Best of luck to all, especially those like Missfit, with loved ones lost and loved ones still at risk of this satanic attack on humanity. The outcome depends entirely on those of us who can See It and are willing and able to Fight It.

Very sad, so sorry….indeed I can’t share all this with my sibs and their mates. Won’t listen….. Hard to be patched up here and there, with conversations we used to use, and now that vocabulary is not available. Feel like a fraud knowing things and can’t share them
I too had a pregnant daughter-in-law during 2021 and I thought I was going to lose my mind. She had been through IVF 3 times from 2019-2020 and when she had an egg successfully implanted in 2021, they gave her the C19 shot as well. Then gave her a booster in 2022, a few months before my granddaughter was born.
She was born perfect and healthy and I cannot describe the stunned relief and gratitude I felt.
But then, there is the gauntlet to run with all the OTHER infant shots she's been happily given because - see, it all was ok so keep trusting and stay on the same track.
I have watched her get a crossed eye from a TMI, not speak till she was 2 and still in nappies full time at 2.5 years of age. But, this is 'normal' now, friends. All the kids at her playgroup are a bit damaged but no Mum notices because they are ALL that way.
You see the game now? Any exception to the narrative is dangerous. "Autism is genetic, mum. We don't want to hear it and stop quoting that weirdo RFK Jr."
I know why I still can't forgive. But it's the Machine that needs to be dismantled before people will rub their eyes and say "what happened?!"
Thank you for sharing this. It’s the same here. And you are totally correct about the delayed developmental milestones. I thought it was just me who noticed. I also thought it was something to do with full time child care. Children seem different but with so many jabs on board by the time they go to school is it any wonder … We must all pray for all the children at this time.. they certainly will not experience the care free childhood that we did …..
I’m so sorry for the heavy burdens you have been carrying, holding your breath and hoping that the twisted minds would not cause suffering for the new life. A day at a time my friend …. Love the little one and bless the new day
Your story felt familiar. I was a nurse for 30 years and no one in my extended families listened to me, with the exception of one niece and her family. Thankfully my husband saw things my way. I also had been a nursing instructor and eventually lost a dear friend who we could not see eyes to eye on anything happening at the time. I truly thought she was a life long friend. I felt much like a lone person preaching to a vast crowd of unbelievers. Thankfully I had just took an early retirement as my husband and I started our own business. I couldn’t have worked as a nurse in that environment. It was hard and now my family mostly have moved past it. Several we don’t bring it up. It was hard having the medical background and having my urgent words of caution ignored. Most never took a second or third vaccine. Some had medical issues because of it. Others we ignore the subject. They operated from a state of fear. It didn’t help that some church leaders made a statement about vaccines being safe and effective. It was then a righteous thing to do. That I still can’t get over. I hope for a wiser tomorrow. Most won’t fall for the fear mongering again. But some will.
Church pressures indeed….I know of churches in SE who held potlucks with vac shots after service. I wonder how their attendance has been affected with that. And whether choir members have dropped in the choir loft while singing the anthem, months later…. Clock is ticking, wicked wicked. ~~~Turns my stomach The phrase “….we’ve been life time friends…” ummmm. Someone will have to say it after I’m gone…since we never know do we?!
Thank you for sharing this.
For me, its a case of if I can let go of the pain caused to me by another person, I am free. It doesnt mean I talk to them again if I dont feel like it. Or it may mean I do interact with them, always remembering just where their consciousness is at, but being as kind as possible. The kindness comes from my consciousness and my choice. I have let go of something that affected my life badly, but I can see the consciousness of the harmer. Its slightly grown over many years but still I keep my memory of the harm as my protection from it happening again, with anyone. When they tried to push me into the vax, I had my memory of the harm they inflicted with their control agenda, in the past. That was how I said, "Not your business, choose for yourself, but not for me."
When a person tresspasses on anothers right to make their own decision, it is an error, and one that we must not allow them to do to us.🙏
I'm so sorry what you've had to go through, it is quite unbelievable. Your son getting concussed by the son of a vaccine zealot, all those people dying, thrown off the mountain bike team despite your great contribution and on and on. It's just so completely shocking.
My life is so much smaller so even though it's been a little tricky with some friends and family it's more of a stand off situation which I think may eventually resolve although perhaps it won't because even though no one vilified me I tend to wonder how I can stay friends with people who are so brainwashed and unwilling to discuss the subject. That's what really bothers me - the censorship. If somebody wants to tell me why they think I should take the jab or that the measures taken were sensible then lay it on. Tell me and I'll tell you why I think you're wrong but I'm not going to try to silence you and I don't want you to try to silence me.
Although on the other side of the planet, we also experienced identical behaviour around us here. The vaxed feared the unvaxed - now the unvaxed fear the vaxed, and fear for them.
The planners behind this global disaster knew full well that this would be the end result.
We may probably be divided for generations to come.
Hearing stories like yours helps me to know I'm not alone. It's time to start telling our stories, not to gain sympathy, but to start healing. And, maybe, part of that healing involves overriding those ingrained protective instincts and leaving some of those people, who we would have done anything to protect, behind. There's always going to be fearmongering by those who want to control society. It's their go-to manipulation technique. We've GOT to see it for what it is in order to keep moving forward.
Dear Dan, don’t worry about this idea of forgiveness. It’s just a made up biblical construct anyway. Try and let go of the anger and let go of the hurt. Find new friends who are worthy of you! You sound like a special guy. Give yourself a hug .. you deserve it.
Here's how I find the easiest way to forgive. I simply remember what my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ said when he was looking down from the cross at the people that were simultaneously butchering him. "Father, forgive them because they do not know what they're doing." Luke 23:34
Jesus describe these same Pharisees and Sadducees that were crucify him as blind guides and he knew that they were ultimately doomed to destruction because of their own heart, hardness, but still, he looked down and without stretched arms, provided them with a free gift of forgiveness which they ultimately refused.
Jesus also said: "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." Matthew 6:14–15
If you understand how much you have been forgiven for by your heavenly father extension of forgiveness to the most vile sin is possible. With God all things are possible.
That about covers it….”don’t know what they were doing,” and with all documentary and statistics available still don’t know …. Yes, it’s very hard, but keep up hope that someone will wake up in time for their own recovery…. Painful to let go when we care so much….
