Very sorry to hear this MMM, sadly there is little you can do to change their minds. Fear has clouded their ability to think rationally. I pray that they will come to their senses. As HH said, it may blow over. So disturbing that this vaccine is tearing families apart.
This narrative will change over the next few months. Wait and don't let yourself be pressurised to take the vaccine. From what I can see here in Ireland everyone is wound up and it's impossible to rationalise with them. As the saying goes 'let the hare sit'
Dear MMM…you are in a horrible position. All I can say is that I’ll pray right now that the Holy Spirit gives you your answer and then be at peace. The division this is causing in families is as bad as the disease. Follow you faith and your heart. I had to on a extremely serious faith issue. I lost one of dearest, most cherished loved ones in my life. I had no choice. I’m saddened by it every minute of every hour. I had to choose God..for my soul and theirs. I pray this heartache will be the suffering to bring them back to God. We have to let God determine the outcome of the family dynamics….let God remedy this .
MMM this summer while being pressured by family members to get the jab or not be allowed to my mother's 95th birthday party, I refused. It was very difficult and caused alot of anger, some of members still won't talk to me. But I know that I don't want to face God with blood of murdered babies flowing through my body. His is my eternal life, my biological family is just a little leapfrog to get there.
Sad. But they made those rules! You just took a different path. I know exactly why you made that decision. I will do the same thing if necessary. Thanks for telling us about this, MC.
I can’t imagine how hard this must be when it splits families. But you did what your conscience told you and I pray that your family while maybe disagreeing will respect how you arrived at it. Perhaps you remind them of the words of Christ from Luke 12:51-53… “Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?v No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three;a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Today after Mass on the way to the car, we saw a bumper sticker on a van saying something like the covid vaccine kills. I was agreeing with the sentiments expressed on the bumper sticker. One of my sons who is 16 then thanked me for not letting him get vaccinated in 2021! I was so surprised and happy because he had been so for it and was mad at me for not letting him get the vaccine at the time. It's nice when kids thank you for not caving in to all their whims.
Prayers for you and offering up Mass this morning. When things were really bad I used to really wonder if I was mistaken in not taking the jab and was very,very tempted to do so. For after all how could all these experts and Governments and all the Mass media be wrong and I be right? It seemed crazy and prideful and deluded. But something held me back, a kind of warning voice within. I think when we pray it gives our Angel Guardians great power over us, to warn, advise and protect us. I think the reason the lock downs, the Church lock downs and the jabs went ahead so crazily was that people were not praying and so could not hear their angel guardians warning them. But things have turned a big, big corner nowadays. Far,far more people have become aware of the dangers of the jab. Nowadays I would touch a jab if you paid me a million dollars. It is clearly,clearly, clearly pure poison.
"What is killing healthy young Americans? 2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions: What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living? It isn’t COVID, of course, because we know that COVID is not a significant cause of death in young people. Various stakeholders opine about what could be causing this epidemic of unexpected sudden deaths, but “CAUSE UNKNOWN” doesn’t opine or speculate. The facts just are, and the math just is. The book begins with a close look at the actual human reality behind the statistics, and when you see the people who are represented by the dry term Excess Mortality, it’s difficult to accept so many unexpected sudden deaths of young athletes, known to be the healthiest among us. Similarly, when lots of healthy teenagers and young adults die in their sleep without obvious reason, collapse and die on a family outing, or fall down dead while playing sports, that all by itself raises an immediate public health concern. Or at least it used to. Ask yourself if you recall seeing these kinds of things occurring during your own life—in junior high? In high school? In college? How many times in your life did you hear of a performer dropping dead on stage in mid-performance? Your own life experience and intuition will tell you that what you’re about to see is not normal. Or at least it wasn’t normal before 2021. Cause Unknown": The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022 (Children’s Health Defense) https://a.co/d/h0DWKuF
Two of my best friends totally promoted the jab. “They did their research “ they said. One of them has just about totally lost her vision and developed blood clots in both legs. The other one had a masectomy and her husband keeps getting skin cancers removed from his body. They keep appearing. Their son just died unexpectedly in his sleep at age 49. They said it was maybe from diabetes
I am more and more concerned about the future with all this. I am hoping it will not badly effect the unborn. I know there has been a big rise in things like miscarriages but I hope it does no great harm to the babies in the womb. I am also concerned about mass panic and rage when people finally catch on.
Even if this only anecdotal it is certainly compelling. Especially the son at 49. The silence on this from the medical co.munity is staggering. On the other hand I have ma y friends and acquaintances who are perfectly fine. Its Russian roulette.
That poor family! Lord be merciful and give them the grace to cope! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
This didn’t help very much either. I hope this man can come up with a good explanation when he comes before the Just Judge. But I doubt it. Pope Francis urges people to get vaccinated against Covid-19 Pope Francis launches a powerful appeal for people to get vaccinated with approved Covid-19 vaccines, calling it “an act of love.” By Devin Watkins The Pope has joined his voice to those of Bishops across North and South America to urge people to get jabbed against Covid-19. In a video message produced in conjunction with the Ad Council, Pope Francis praised the work of researchers and scientists in producing safe and effective Covid-19 vaccines. “Thanks to God’s grace and to the work of many, we now have vaccines to protect us from Covid-19,” he said in the video released on Wednesday. He added that vaccines “bring hope to end the pandemic, but only if they are available to all and if we collaborate with one another.” Vaccination is an act of love Pope Francis went on to say that getting a Covid jab that is “authorized by the respective authorities” is an “act of love.” https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/...cis-appeal-covid-19-vaccines-act-of-love.html
