 I forget what comedian said this, but:
They should change the term “conspiracy theory” to “spoiler-alert”
Similarly, if you had told people when the shots first came out that they’d be getting 5 boosters, they would have called you an insane idiot.

 I don’t think people would have called others idiots based off idea of booster shots. At least some parents wouldn’t who chose to vaccine (baby ones etc) their children, which is required in my state if they go to public school. 

So it’s 2024 & we have a country severely fractured based on if they chose Covid vaccine or didn’t. 

My hope is to get past that. THIS divide is coming on strong to be another generational divide which has been historically to keep poor from rising together against rich. 

Same as: religion, skin color, generational wealth, wrong side of the tracks, etc that has been used for millennia

 My last comment wasn’t worded quite right.
Agree 💯, we need to be avoid being divided. I don’t mean to spread negativity or any disrespect to those who got the shots.
I feel like I’ve been stuck in this digital Gulag the last few years and there’s finally a platform to speak freely.

 🙏🥰😊 Understand completely. I always go with most humanity does what they feel is best if/when all things being equal. Very few are truly malicious. Others have called me ignorant, etc. That’s okay.

Pretty sure whoever brought me here felt the same way. They know who I am IRL & what I’ve done: and my love is always on the side of humanity and peace. Or they just wanted to see me go wild in a place that can an echo chamber. 🤣🫂💜 Time will tell.
