i didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.
practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.
now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.

Ref. Polio vaccine
I well remember the very last polio epidemic in this country being stopped dead in its tracks by the widespread introduction of the Sabin vaccine. Coincidentally(!), the last death in this country from polio occurred in 1961, just before that mass-immunisation campaign.

I received the full course of vaccinations, primarily for employment reasons.
The electrical engineering firm which I work for was largely sustained through the pandemic by a major refurbishment project at one of the biggest gold mines in the world. This was an offshore project, and so desperate was the mining company to have these works completed that they agreed to pay for the work force's hotel quarantine time - both before entry into the host country (Papua New Guinea) and before repatriation back into Australia. At that time, vaccination for COVID-19 was compulsory for all persons entering either country.
To the extent that I was pleased to continue working through the pandemic and beyond, I guess I am "glad" that I received the COVID vaccine.
this morning i was in our front yard sitting down pulling weeds when i saw 3 people slowly walking on the sidewalk in my direction.
2 of them were young, handsome, clean shaven, wearing nice crisp white shirts and perfectly tailored black slacks.
they could have been mormons except.... there was a 60ish portly woman wearing a frumpy dress and ugly sandals.
It is many years since I have seen them working door to door in our neighbourhood; certainly pre-pandemic. Even the apathy cart literature stands have been absent until only last week, when they had one set up in the local shopping centre.

We ignored the lessons of 1918
I think it is all too easy to assure ourselves that “That was then - things are different now”, and thus lapse into a false sense of security.
Not just in disease control, either. International diplomacy may well right now be an area in which the lessons of history are being either forgotten or ignored.
in del rio texas, the border patrol can't hold back the invasion of illegal migrants anymore.
they have asked the biden administration for help, but they refused.
harris has promised to give all illegal migrants citizenship if she is becomes president.
"rage baiting entertainer"
Is that a similar thing to a "Shock Jock"?
We certainly have a few of those around these parts, too (without mentioning any names!) Most would do well to remember more often the old adage "Always engage brain before putting mouth into gear".

Joey Jojo,
So much for the “Good old days”
the last assembly i attended was over 10 years ago.
the monotone speakers, boring talks, uncomfortable seats, long prayers and nodding off after the lunch break did me in.
i survived the morning sessions, but the afternoon sessions were brutal.
the 1969 PEACE ON EARTH 8 day assembly
As a then "newly interested person", I felt disappointed that I missed that assembly.
Little did I know!
not just jw's, but countless others (evangelicals etc.
) are claiming that we're in the "last days.".
but........bible students/jw's have been spouting this fake message since the 19th century!!!!!!.
Jan,
For sure, if you must have a religion, stick to one of those “Mainstream” Churches.
Centuries ago, they may have sat at the more extreme end of the scale. These days, though, that appears to have been bred out of them.

I would rather visit the dentist!

The world will indeed end one day - some four billion years from now, when the sun finally runs out of nuclear fuel.
