Wow! Yes. Could not have said it better - despite having tried.

You attribute the failure to apologize to human nature and weakness, but with less emotional weight than I have been carrying.

Thank you for that. It does take a brave soul to get there, and yes the wounds remain. Perhaps indelibly.

I worked for internationally known cardiologists and surgeons. One was a human pincushion, getting every possible vax. Another told me in May of 2021 “This is not a vaccine. It won’t work. It won’t stop you from getting COVID. It won’t stop spreading COVID. The epidemic will be caused by the vax because people will think they are safe.”

This was before the first few “breakthrough” cases like Colin Powell. Soon it became obvious that he was right. I did take the first round of shots because I worked in a hospital. But I knew it was pointless. Had I known of the side effects I wouldn’t have done it. I never got a booster and I never got COVID. Meanwhile many friends and neighbors have had it multiple times despite being fully vaccinated.

I will never forget or forgive them

I went to my 40th high school reunion last year where almost immediately one of my classmates approached and apologized for how he treated me online during what should have been debates about covid and not slinging insults. He is the only one, not even some of my oldest friends could admit their accusatory positions against me were wrong, and I actually got the vaccines. I wish I hadn't, but our daughter was pregnant and scared and other family filled her head. We never got boosters and I continued to speak out against all the lockdown and mandate BS. My friendships barely survived so I hope they all learned a lesson, even if they can't admit it.

They won't listen. Still stings after seeing the many dead and disabled from the gene shot.

Two things that really stiffened my spine against vaccination. 1. My doctor dumped me when I showed him articles that supported the early use of Hydroxychloroquine and zinc to reduce the severity of the infection and speed recovery. 2. Dr Fauci’s lies. First no mask, then mask. Plus his failure to affirm that any vaccine was a poor second cousin to having had Covid and recovered. I had no problem with not being vaccinated and had other friends and family members who had the same mindset. Many with farm and ranch backgrounds had no trouble with using a weight adjusted dose of Ivermectin as a prophylactic or cure. When I couldn’t get Hydroxychloroquine, I used an over the counter substitute.

I want an apology from the medical professionals and use every survey opportunity they give me after having some interaction with them to vent my anger at their lack of ethics. I will not quit.

As a pastor, I have conducted the funerals for several individuals that I am convinced died from improper treatment and others that died from cancers I think were caused by the vaccine.

Why do most people ignore or deny the indisputable fact that the covid "virus" originated in the US at Univ of Chappell Hill, NC? We know this because Foulchi led the research into gain of function which was illegal. Before the 2012 election farce, Ovomit was told that if it became public that the head of the NIH was directing illegal research intogain of function using federal funds, Ovomit might lose the election. At that point Ovomit and team persuaded China to continue the research at the Wuhan lab. The rest is history as it was all part of the globalists efforts to depopulate the planet using covid in conjunction with the bioweapon jab that was the REAL weapon.

I thought I’d read every criticism of the Plandemic. It never occurred to me that “Pandemic of the Unvaccinated” was a form of scapegoating. Thanks for this insight!

It sure was at my workplace. Mandating wasn't solely a management decision, all of my colleagues had to vote to approve it as a side letter to our union contract. Union members voting to approve having fellow union members stripped of their pay and benefits and barred from the workplace. Totally shameful.

Great perspective. I agree as one of those on the same side as you.

One could expand on mass formation psychosis to the activities supported by the civilians of World War 2.

When it ended no one had anything to do with the horrors.

The silence of the people at your table shows they have not had time to formulate their excuses

History books may vindicate us if they can give an honest accounting of what actually happened during those dark times. We'll see who writes them. Sure, some kind of apology would be nice, but most people still can't seem to cough one up.

Even then, I'm not really looking for vindication because I don't need it. I was right, dammit, and they were wrong. I know it, they know it, we all know it, so that's that.

There's still more important work to do. Taking care of the vax-injured, restoring jobs to those fired for ignoring illegal mandates, eliminating total immunity from legal liability for Big Pharma, hauling Fauci and his co-conspirators in front of a Nuremberg-style court for crimes against humanity, etc.

And I'm grateful to Substack for bringing great authors and their commentary together here when we needed unfiltered information the most. Dr. Robert Malone, Alex Berenson, Steve Kirsch and others kept me well informed and I thank them for that.

All my husband's 80 plus friends who would be dead without pharmaceuticals. Had the jab and lived. For the elderly I still believe it saved lives. It should not have been mandated. That was the big mistake.

In January 2020 when covid 19 was coming down the pike we decided it was the next zika. Just another in the long line of attempts to sell a pandemic, so we should brace for the inevitable onslaught of deceit and stupidity. We didn’t stay home, didn’t wear masks, didn’t get the shot, didn’t get tested, and we didn’t get sick. What we didn’t know was that this would turn out to be the biggest crime in history. My husband lost his sister and a cousin to execution by ventilator. We lost other friends to the shot.

We should see gallows being built all across the country.

Hi Mr. Marks, I am a Chinese Medical Doctor and I really appreciate your article. I went through a very similar 5 yrs. And similar past 20yrs where I believe in the body's own ability to heal and certainly did not think the CEO of Pfizer or government new more about my body than me. Or...had my best interest in mind. Thanks again.
