I came across this piece tonight and experienced a bit of envy that the author was able to “come clean”. There is a part of me that wishes I had his ability to write with such honesty to a broad reader base. I hide ‘comfortably’ behind the veil of readers who are obviously either aligned or open minded enough to accept someone who is skeptical of the vaccine narrative. I cannot ‘come out’ where I live, I would be burned at the stake! Maybe someday, I can write something as honest at this! Cory Zue, welcome to THE OTHER side!
I don’t believe it’s ok to live in a world in which medical procedures can be forced onto people without an impenetrable foundation of evidence to support them. And I’m just not seeing that from where I stand.
The world I want to live in is a world where we make and enforce rational, evidence-based policies based on the good of the population. A world in which we defer some autonomy to individuals to make their own decisions regarding their health, and don’t keep them from going out to dinner or getting on an airplane if we disagree with them.
I’d also like to live in a world where we stop shaming “the other”, and I’ve decided that one way I can do that is by declaring myself as part of “the other”.
Earlier I didn’t take the shot because I wasn’t sure it was good for me. But now? Now I’m not taking the shot because I’m taking a stand.
People IRL know I am not vaxed, but given the visits by police, and arrests, of anti-government Aussies, I'd rather stay anonymous here.
What a shitty sentence to read back to myself. In a Western, allegedly free and democratic country. ffs.
What a fantastic essay! I shared it with one of my work colleagues (an MD).
