My little sister just called and gave me the heads up that my father is schedule to take the vaccine Wednesday, today is Monday.
My family is conservative and my father is an intelligent man, he was actually calling it all a government hoax before it hit. Back when we were just starting to hear about it happening in China while I was trying to convince him that it was something to have some concern about, my how things have changed! Anyway, my dad is normally very skeptical of medicine and the government but that got tossed out the window when his oldest brother took the vaccine....my father looks up to his oldest brother and if he took it then my father should take it too.
My father listens to me and will hear what I have to say I know that much, it will have weight to him I’m his only son. The thing is my father is off the boat and while again very intelligent, man used to do to calculus’s homework while speaking crappy English haha, quoting studies to him and things of that nature won’t have much of an impact....he doesn’t trust that garbage anyway. It needs to be more general and not fantastical, here is what I have so far:
-The government wants to control the population (something he has always said himself)
- The vaccine was rushed with the stipulation that the pharma companies can’t be sued for complications and they are making billions from it (he’s a business man that’s a good one)
- You can still get covid after taking the vaccine they are saying so what’s the point
- You still have to have all the covid restrictions so
- Nobody knows what the vaccine will do in the future (obvious one)
- He’s 66 years old and healthy, not at any risk of dying even if he doesn’t get covid
- I had covid and it wasn’t even as bad as a mild flu
- I don’t want him to die (this will hit him hard as well, we don’t normally do emotions in my family)
What else guys? Please help me out here, again needs to be more general and common sense rather than studies, stats, special media crap and things of that nature....
Thank you!
