Some very smart people continue to believe the vaccine was "safe and effective." It´s maddening! There´s something about this that hits deeper than the intellect.

And yes, we were persecuted. I´m still waiting -- yearning for, actually -- justice from friends who judged me. A simple "I was wrong, I´m sorry" would do. But now the pandemic is slipping away, fading from popular consciousness, and soon it will be history and I will never get my vindication.

I´m glad of course that the worst is over, or seems to be. It´s just that the social consequences of all I went through are still very much with me.
