I used to shame people for not getting vaccinated until my son was hospitalized with vaccine induced myocarditis. Life has a way of humbling you.

🧵I admit it, I used to shame “anti-vaxxers”, which IMO were also those that were hesitant and considered nuance. My life and perspective changed on a dime when my kid came into my room with chest pain two days after his second dose. His AE shook me to my core. 1/4 https://t.co/3q9kTIW7J7

It made me question everything that I had been preaching. I had to humble myself. It took me down paths that I couldn’t have imagined. I’ve interacted with people that I never would have had this not happened. I have been in the unique position of truly being in the middle. 2/4

The silver lining is that I have learned so much from this experience. Most importantly, I’ve learned to judge less and try to understand more. If we begin with shaming and judging, the dialogue ends there because people become defensive and shut down. 3/4

It sounds cliche, but we have to build bridges and try to communicate with one another in a civil manner… even when we don’t agree. That is the only way progress will be made. I’m tired of all the fighting. 4/4

People should stop getting the vaccine full stop.

No, they shouldn’t.

I don’t get it, it’s a crap shoot if you’ll have life-altering consequences from the vaxx, it’s leaky & ineffective, you can still spread it unknowingly & end up dead. You haven’t learned this lesson yet and continue to advocate for it?

You are a huge douche bag. As a Georgian, who waited in line for hours with fellow Georgians to vote against tRump, f*ck you!
