I’m not going to lie, it’s not easy to switch someone’s view on this. My husband and I were at opposite ends of the politics and “medicine”. We fought and the “d” word came up multiple times. My then 37 year old husband was in law school interning at Berkeley and then a Lawfirm in SF and valued his 20 something year old colleague’s over his nerdy wife who travels and sells warranties and reads clinical trials for fun. I constantly sent him trials and data and articles that questioned the mainstream narrative. I had 6 people in my circle die within days of receiving their shot. I had many clients and friends hospitalized with blood clots and heart attacks and paralysis within weeks or days of receiving a shot. Every time I sent him something, or brought it up, it caused a fight. Eventually I stopped directly sending him things but would talk about it out loud on the phone or to a friend so he could hear. I purposely brought it up in front of mutual friends to see what they thought. He was embarrassed and angry every time, but more times than not, our mutual friend felt the same way that I did. I wanted to make his transition easy, I wanted to show him that I’m not alone, that my views are ideas are backed by many. Eventually we stopped fighting, he stopped getting angry with me. And recently he was excited to tell me our neighbors who have avoided me this whole pandemic said, “I think your wife has been right this whole time”. His colleagues texted him in a group chat expressing a similar sentiment. I was able to convince him and his mom to cancel their booster appointments, then Covid hit our house and hit his mom and him the worst. The kids and I, all unvaxxed had nothing more than a head ache for a day or two. Lastly, my aunt and uncle, his cousins and aunts and uncles all 4 shots in, got Covid for the 3rd and 4th time and he straight up said, “why are people still getting boosted? So stupid! It obviously isn’t working.” Victory! Vindication at last! So, moral of the story, don’t give up. Keep on trying, and when one method doesn’t work, try another. Good luck out there.
