Covid vaccine and personal experiences

[Diana]

@ Relax:

I really don't want to stir up conflict or argue. There is fear-mongering on both sides of this issue as far as I can tell. I'm not on a side, except for the side of the sovereignty of my own body. Everything is too unclear.

I just don't see the reason to be sarcastic to the extent you were. I would ask you who or what that helps.

As for Americans and how they are viewed in the world, I am aware. I have had many friends from other cultures and I have traveled a lot. I am also part Iroquoise (paternal grandfather), and I don't know how much that contributes to my thinking, but I resonate with a culture that sees the world in a different context than the average person (a context that acknowledges all life forms including the planet). Maybe that is why I trust natural sources of healing over pharmaceuticals and synthetic, patented substances. That is not to say I don't respect and want scientific exploration and advancement. I just don't think—and this is my opinion only—that the average consciousness of humanity is in sync with the most compassionate and wise use of our technology.
