Amen, brother. I have not gotten the COVID-19 shot and do not intend to get it.

I will not go along to get along with this COVID-19 BS. For the past two years I have not gone to a restaurant, as I live in the craphole that is called New York State and masks are required in public indoor places.

I have not traveled on an airplane, train, subway, train or boat.

I no longer shop in person at stores, because of the mask mandate. I shop online for my groceries and pick them up at curbside. All other items I need, I shop online and have them delivered.

I do not go to concerts, the movies, sports venues or any entertainment venue that requires masks and vaccine passports.

By the grace of God I have not needed to go to the doctor's office, dentist or hospital, although those are the only places I would wear a mask since those places are germ ridden anyway.

I very rarely go to family functions as I do not want to deal with the COVID talk and mask wearing.

My sister, quit her job because of the vaccine and mask mandate that her workplace implemented. Myself, I have been unemployed for years, but if I was employed and the workplace implemented a mask and vaccine mandate, I would quit.

I have been speaking out to anyone who will listen about how this fake pandemic is being used by the demons in power to take away God given freedoms. Blank looks all around.

Now I sit home and draw cartoons and animations, because they make me happy.

I used to go to classical/symphony concerts; home city of the state symphony (60% African American) has a vax passport - 30%+ of African Americans refused the vax - (highest rate of refusal for any ethnic group - smart!) - so now, 30% of Af Americans are prohibited from attending those concerts, as well as eat in a restaurant etc etc - Two years ago - on that planet the author went to sleep on that fateful night! - that was called disparate impact - any public policy that had a "disparate impact" on an ethnic group was racist/discriminatory and could not stand. Now? ... on this planet ? - never mind - show your papers.

Assuming that this will someday be over, I say to people "What will you say that you did?"

I helped feed the NZ Freedom Convoy for three weeks. And proud to tell that to the retard brainwashed people whom I meet, who tend to be speechless.

I haven’t seen my partner in the USA for 26 months so far. A large portion of that I couldn’t have even if vaxxed as Australia closed its borders entirely. But had I been vaxxed I could have travelled freely by now when the borders opened a few months ago. USA also requires the V now for entry. Additionally my employer is considering a mandate and if they do bring it in I will not comply. Whether they then sack me or stand me down I don’t know but I am researching Mexico. I do not wear a mask anywhere. We had vax passports in my town here for about 8 weeks. I would walk past restaurants and see all the smiling happy people at their tables and I wanted to punch them all in the face. They are gone now but I have not forgotten. Nor will I forget how our government has allowed this even if we ever do get back to “normal”. Australia’s motto used to be “the lucky country”. Not any more.

Thanks JJ! Your testimony is encouraging. I can sense the frustration that we are all feeling in your comment. Stand strong, courageous and free. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Well said. I for one feel very fortunate, my tiny little town has had very few places that have required anything specific pertaining to staying, "germ", free. On another note, driving to the city, I have found myself not going into restaurants, mini malls, or any other place requiring anything I choose not to give. I travel only by car, and I'm ok with that. I refuse to stop living because of the public madness. My life may change but the control remains in my hands!

Thank you for your sacrifice Rachelle. As I mentioned in another of my posts, if we are all willing to do just *one* thing, we can make a difference and turn a lot of this around. Thankfully, we do see a few things changing and we cannot afford to let up now. Let's keep pushing back and living!

Amen, brother. I will not go along to get along with this COVID-19 BS. I have not gotten the worse than useless COVID-19 vaccine and I will not get it.

Thanks for sharing! It's heart warming to see others who are truly making a sacrifice to try and stop this. Removing our consent and our *support* is extremely important. We can make a difference.

Thanks for the perspectives. I totally agree with the resistance by non participation in illogical rules, by people and corporations that have absolutely no clue what they are doing.

I'd only add that pushing back on those companies (and acquaintances) requiring pointless compliance. Walk into any store that "requires" a mask, and simply say no thanks...and you'll see that very few will push back. Those that do, do not deserve your business.

First off, I'm very hard of hearing. I won't patronize any business that requires me to wear a mask, and if I go to an eatery or business where the staff are masked, I tell them that I'm unable to decipher their words and have them either A) Remove their mask so that I can understand their speech by lip-reading and/or B) Have them write everything down on paper. My only exceptions are, few and far between and only if I absolutely have a medical/dental urgency, doctor and dental. I'll wear a mask then, but still adhere to my rules stated above. I've basically quit on any family member who continues to live the Covid lie, especially because I've warned them about this plandemic from Day one. This has been very difficult and heart-wrenching, since I was raised, taught and have lived by the mantra that ''family is everything.'' So be it.

Amazing courage my friend. I've been pretty fortunate as most of my family is on board with knowing this has been a scam from day one. I only have a couple of distant relatives that have completely bought into the lie. And they are on 100% public "assitance". (Get your shot or lose your "free" goodies). Keep on staying strong and thank you for contributing to The Rumble Strip!

Unfortunately there are precious few who are prepared to take a principled stand.

Most people really don't deserve our civilization.

I didn't know if it was always like this, but it does seem incredible that we just blundered into a system that had it's faults, but it at least was SUPPOSED to hold individual liberty up high.

I know that martyrdom sucks, but so does tyranny.

Wow. Brilliantly said. You know, I don't "hate" those who haven't taken the tougher road. I think the best word for it is disappointment. I didn't think there were this many people (especially in the "liberty" community) that wouldn't realize that if they went along with *any* part of this for whatever reason that they were literally paving the way for these "rituals" to become mandatory and "normalized" for the entire population. I'll add one more word to disappointed: Disgusted. Thanks for your contribution Howard. Appreciate you being here.

Thank you for your sacrifice Napoleon. I completely agree with you. There is *always* a choice. I tire of hearing how someone was "forced" into testing or masking or getting a shot they didn't want. No one is being held down (yet) and being forcibly injected. One maybe could say they were "forced" into making a decision. But even then, the decision was still their own. Thanks for your contribution.
