We are all related to someone like that. Nothing can convince them. No amount of evidence. No math. No logic nor reason. It is not true because it CAN’T be true. Plus….Trump!

Oh good lord, she needs to read RFK Jr.s book, The Real Anthony Fauci!

This is why I don't want to know what my relatives think about any current thing.

Alex I sympathize completely. My husband took the initial shots, badgered me for not getting them. I did use the my body, my choice line of reasoning with him to no avail. He got the booster despite my imploring him not to, and now he's on a heart medicine. He's almost 70, never an inkling of a heart problem. He is someone who would not have had many issues with covid because he's not overweight, not diabetic, never a great issue before this, but a great watcher of MSNBC. He also thinks that Joementia is going a great job and that there are many factors that have contributed to ridiculous gas prices, not the EO that killed the pipeline or the countless death by paper cuts that have ruined the country's energy policies. At least you don't live with your mother.

Similar happened to a family friend. Got all vaxxed up, then developed afib after zero history of heart problems. Not willing to contemplate the idea that it might have been the shots.

Somewhere out there is a two year old with a stripper mother and a crackhead father whose grandpa is the President of the United States.

My husband just returning from a funeral this morning, friend in NY, took 4 shots! Got raging pneumonia , heart failure, kidney failure, 11 days on life support. 52 years old, leaves behind a beautiful wife and 2 college aged children. Coincidence? I think not.

My Mom had a severe stroke one week after her booster. Sister and 2 brothers think it’s a coincidence and there is no arguing with them. They all literally said I would die (I’m a senior) if I didn’t get vaxxed. I’m still here. Not even a cold.

I am completely befuddled by folks who think that the Biden Administration is, in any way, successful. Gotta love ‘em anyway.

I'm so scared for my college age daughter. She thinks I'm a conspiracy theorist and believes there isn't anything wrong with the vaccines. Her college will probably mandate for the fall and she will go get a booster. Wish there was liberal articles for her to read since she doesn't believe me.

Thank you for sharing, Alex. Most of us think we are the only ones in conflict with family and friends.

I totally sympathize. The last person my late mother would believe over mass media propaganda would be me.

About half my family is vaxxed, in that group of 35ish people there’s One case of myocarditis, One case of swollen lymph nodes, one menstrual cycle out of whack l, one case of Bell’s palsy, and one case of some sort of gastric disorder.

I think I’m going to stick with my natural immunity...

After reading countless side effects from the jab, I don't understand why folks are not making the connection when they have issues. Heck, folks have died and in my book you cannot call anything "safe and effective" when folks die. No clinical trials, and now I hear they want to jab the little ones too. Read about the sincere desire on the left to depopulate the globe and you might start getting a little nervous. Read about the athletes that have died or been injured. Professional athletes...this is not a conspiracy theory, just read what is available and if you believe your fellow citizens, you won't offer up your family for the vax without doing all your research and hopefully, talking to your physician but then MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND. Even though I am a mother of three boys/men, I wouldn't dare make the decision for them. Their body, their choice...Michelle

I am unvaccinated. Had covid in January and have been dealing with mild heart issues since. I’m about to have an implantable monitor to track all the weird rhythms and tachycardias more accurately. I’ve had two temp ones already. I’m having a Cardiac MRI this week as well. Now I’m as loud against the vaccine as anyone, have stuck my neck out continuously since this started and I have zero regrets about my decision. I’m sure on balance taking my chances with covid was the correct risk assessment. At the same time though, there are long term implications to having covid. I’m 47, a cycling coach, and eat a 95% plant based organic diet. My heart was the last thing I ever thought I’d need to worry about. Whatever destructive shit to human health is happening is not limited to vaccination but also the virus itself is screwing with people, me at least. God bless your mom! And to hell with whatever collection of nefarious actors is behind this whole thing.

Alex, I feel your frustration.

My dad, age 91 and counting, is very reluctantly considering that maybe, perhaps, possibly the government of the US might be lying to him.

Equally difficult for him to grasp is that his crazy right-wing daughter--with the Gadsden flag in her yard--could be correct.

That St. Anthony Fauci is a liar, a quack, a criminal, and a fraud....well, we're getting there.

It's a process.

I gave up drinking as a health choice recently but dear lord any time spent with people is really testing this these days....

Yes understand, my father in law a retired doctor is on auto repeat in his belief this thing helps even though his wife ended up in the hospital 3x poked with cv. I am not sure you can say it helped all that much....the logic is truly not there...hurts my brain very hard sometimes when things come out of people's mouth who have not allowed themselves to be at all further informed or updated with new data from their last data point/decision point. If all people in the past operated this way we would still be blood letting as a therapy....omg...I feel like I need to tap out of most of society these days. I sit at my 13 year old lacrosse practice listening to parents talk about when to get their kids boosted so to not do it when the kid has sports as it makes them sick....dear lord people are still running to get an almost non effective booster with risk for their kids who have some insanely low chance of any dire illness and it doesn't stop them from getting it? Higher chance the kids has other side effects!!! Its insane. 🙄

I personally know so many that have afib issues now and they range in age from 50 to 80. It must

be noted that they were all double vaccinated and some had boosters. Just sayin...

How old is your Mom? And does she understand that right now the highest initial cases and repeat cases are among the Vaxxed? I’m 70 and find my age group officially “skeptical.” It’s the 40-50 demographic that are CDC regurgitating sheep…. And now they’re going enthusiastically vax their children.

I’ve heard you say you don’t read your comments, but someone my appreciate this. Arginine and taurine together stopped all arrithmias in this study. I use beet juice powder instead of arginine to create nitric oxide. Works like a charm. If it doesn’t stop them, I take the taurine and all gone!

My cardiologist wasn’t even curious. Had no interest in the research or the effect it had on me. Just offered A beta blocker.

Funny how authors such as you and RFK, both formerly associated as liberal or democrat, are immediately denounced by modern/cuurent liberals as nut jobs, anti-vaxxers or Trumpers, before they even know the content of your book or his book, let alone read one of them.

Keep up the good work please.

And my sister responded in rage when I sent her Naomi Wolf's very reasonable and nuanced substack article about Roe

This may seem like a non sequitor but its not

America is so brainwashed and divided

I'm not sure any of this can be fixed - if you've got a mother who thinks well of wrecking ball Biden things might be past the point of no return (as Thomas Sowell warned us)

My mom also had to be hospitalized after her first shot due to A Fib and CHF going out of control. Narrowly avoided it after second shot by strictly monitoring and adjusting for it after second shot. My mom, who was a nurse, definitely attributed it to the shots and swore that she would have no boosters. She ultimately died in late 2021 of other non- A Fib and non-CHF causes (at the age of 91) which were wholly unrelated to covid or the vaccines, but my surviving 92 year old dad still maintains that he will take no boosters because of what the shots did to my mom the first time.

The shots like child sacrafice (abortion) are sacraments in the religion of liberlism/leftism...nothing can prove their sacraments to be invalid or dangerous.

When all these Lefties realize they've been snowed, the Elites need to be in hiding because they will be targeted. It sure is hard waiting for the Left to catch up.

The elderly grew up in a culture of trusting authority, unlike younger generations. My mother is the same. She is at 4 shots. No problems yet though I have no doubts it is coming and will be blamed on "natural causes". The people who are intentionally lying about the shots know what is going down, but are doing it anyway. The are evil, plain and simple.

Luckily, my mom recognized that it might be the vaccines. She developed a-fib and is going for a second cardio version. She had first two shots but refuses the boosters.

My mom came to visit me and when I dropped her at the airport, she put her mask on. I asked her what she was doing as she hadn't worn one the entire weekend in some very crowded rooms. She said that her doctor had recommended it and even if it didn't protect her from covid-19, it might protect her from the flu or a cold. I didn't want to get into it with her because apparently, she believes whatever her doctor tells her despite the fact that 1. there's no convincing empirical evidence showing the masks work, particularly the cloth one she was using and 2. there's no reason that disease is any particular threat on a plane vs every other social situation in your life and 3. didn't the airlines tell us that the ventilation systems were like super safe on an airplane and thus we didn't have to worry about covid despite the fact that we were told to practice social distancing, maintain 6 feet of distance, and avoid small enclosed spaces? Yeah, I'm believing NONE of this!

Too bad you can't airmail that afib to someone who REALLY deserves it... 😬

Your mother is so typical of that generation and that demographic; my mother is very similar, though in her case she had all the jabs and still got COVID twice. She already had similar cardiac problems to your mother.

But just like yours there is a blinder over her eyes that does not allow her to see reality as regards the democrat party. She is so deluded, coming up for 89 and sadly is unable to be red-pilled.

I’m thankful that I have been red-pilled ever since my world view was brought into line with the scriptures; and I hope you continue to be red-pilled too, Alex, all the way to belief in God as revealed in the Holy Scriptures.

Don't fret Alex. You're not alone. My mother also feels that Trump was/is the antichrist and that Biden saved us all. Although Trump is no peach, the older generation has an abnormal hate for him. It's an odd mass formation psychosis that many are dealing with. Good luck with your mom and her dog. We all have our "stories"... 😉

Sadly, her dog's lymphoma may have also been triggered by vaccines

Expand full comment

Alex, the likelihood is that your mom has paroxysmal AFIB (comes and goes) and that the "vaccine" is a trigger for it (like alcohol), and she may have this condition for years.

Think of AFIB as a short circuiting of the wiring harness for the heart. Just as we're used to seeing bundles of wires in our cars having insulation rubbed off and short circuits occurring as a sign of age, this is kind of what happens to cause AFIB.

The mortal risk of AFIB is that if the chambers of the heart don't behave synchronously (in sinus rhythm) blood may pool and clot. And if such a clot escapes the heart and lodges in the lungs you get a pulmonary embolism; in the brain, a stroke.

Your mom's cardiologist prescribed an oral anti-coagulant (AOC) as a prophylactic.

You are a good son. Parent's views are often not understood by their children. This is the way life goes. We can all appreciate loving someone who cannot cross a bridge with us.
