I personally can't stand how "they", are trying to force things on us. Take this shot or go homeless, take this shot or don't get an education, take this shot or don't go to church, get groceries, get emergency medical care Etc. Etc. I am not an "anti-vax" person either. I've had vaccines and I was even told back in the day my kids needed them as babies or they would surely die. This is before I got educated, which seems to be the biggest issue. Too many people are stuck to the media like glue. Do your research people, educate yourselves and make your own choices. Don't ever let anyone put anything In your body you don't want there!
And the listener's sleepiness has never stopped me from continuing my rants. Haha! I think that even if we have "talked an issue to death", if it is important to us (especially with what is going on in our society today) we *must* continue to talk. Those that get sleepy... well, we can only hope that a word or fact we present will shake them awake again. You know Perplexity, I was speaking with a gentleman yesterday about the madness going on in our world with forced medications and so on and he said, "Yes, but people are sick." and he followed it up with, "And they have been trying to do this for years so it will go away just like it always does." WOW. I started getting angry so I changed the subject. I truly believe that this time, if we don't stop it, it will NOT go away. Keep on talking Perplexity (as I'm sure you will).
In December 1994 on vaca in St. Pete Beach in Florida (yes, I remember this experience that clearly), I had a hacking cough that kept me up at night. So I bought a Nyquil-knockoff, and being generally drug-averse, I took just a half-dose.
That night's sleep was the most terrifying night of my life. No exaggeration.
I have never ever again taken anything to help me sleep.
I say this with a bit of reservation. I cannot blame Nyquil completely because I don't know for sure. My brother hung himself at the age of 19 in a hotel room. No note was left. I was tasked with picking up the few belongings that were left by him in said hotel room. Among them? 3 full bottles of Nyquil and 2 empty bottles of Nyquil. I've never gotten over it and wouldn't take that poison for any reason.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. I cannot begin to imagine something so terrible.
I understand that the Nyquil story is anecdotal, but I too have never since and never will take it or any generic or store equivalent. Your heartbreaking story only further cements my opposition to it.
It amazes me that people (usually out of their own fear) can say, "can't you just do the 'right thing' and take your shot?" and other statements like that. It doesn't matter whether it's a shot, pill, or even certain foods... no one should be forced into or coerced into taking something into their body that they don't want. As I stated in my rant, "What if I'm the one?" That one in a million. None of us knows if we are that one in a million (or whatever the odds are) so we absolutely should have a choice in the matter. No questions asked. "I don't want it" should be all we have to say. No matter what it is. And yes, even if that substance is "proven" to be "safe and effective." It's quite literally impossible to say that *anything* is 100% safe and effective for every single human on the earth. IMHO. :)
Yeah...but heaven forbid we turn it around on them and say, "Can't you just do the 'right thing' and NOT take the shot, given that they're NOT vaccines and given that they're LEAKY and given that you can STILL catch and spread the virus and given that the VAXXED may very well be responsible for the virulent variants? I mean, you vaxxed people are prolonging and perpetuating the problem, FFS!"
That is the nature of totalitarians (and ignoramuses) - they won't (or can't) tolerate ANY alternative opinion, viewpoint, or fact set. Everything must be done according to THEIR, and ONLY their, lights.
As I said elsewhere, "No" is a sufficient reason. Because yeah, nothing is perfectly safe and effective. It's up to ME and ONLY me to conduct the risk/reward analysis that affects ME and ONLY me.

Here here!
Bastards in pharma-gov are trying to equate us with drones in a hive.
I'm no drone, though people have been known to get sleepy if I talk for too long.

Hmmm. I think your friend has a point, but in my lifetime and space I have never seen it go so far.
As for talking ... nobody's been able to shut me up yet.
Someone whom I know had a reaction to Vitamin C tablets when he was a kid.
