Tate was on with Tucker and made a good point. There's massive cognitive dissonance amongst those who pushed the vax on everyone, treated all their non-vaxxed friends/family/everyone as enemies, yet are now going on as life is normal and it never happened. Yet the virus they were deathly afraid of is still out there. Zero introspection.
Being honest, this part does annoy me a little on a personal level. I don't care what most people think. But it was about 5 months ago after my family had COVID by dad randomly reached out to me and strongly suggested we all, including both my kids under 5, get jabbed. He watches Tucker so he's probably aware of all the crap now coming out about the jabs.
But he acts like he never picked up the phone and made that call. That he unprompted reached out and suggested our family partake in a significant threat to our well being. To me it's not much different than calling me and strongly suggesting we inject our kids with heroin, although the intent of the call is obviously different. Likewise, my sister who has gotten all her kids jabbed, locked down her house to all non-vaxxed friends/family. Wouldn't see anyone during the holidays because we're still clean-bloods. But now, she's just going about life, maskless, as if it all never happened.
Some may say "be the bigger person, forgive and forget". I can't. My perception of them is forever changed. I'm civil. But they're more acquaintances now. Fundamentally at my core, my wife and simply cannot change our perspective on people who in one manner, offered a direct threat to our family and children.
And because their fundamental point of view on life also suggests it will happen again. I cannot trust them. So I don't. And it's a very rational conclusion once you set aside any family-tied emotion.
I'm not hostile in any way towards them. But I have put a steel barrier around my wife and kids to protect us now and for years to come, and my other family members are not on the inside. Nor do I ever see that changing.
Unfortunate reality of the times.
