Being called a "sheep" for getting vaccine ..what would you say?

[beerfear33]

I'm 34 no health conditions and I have had vaccines.
My good friend and her mum have declined (which is their own choice no judgement ) yet every time we meet she is throwing shade my way.
I don't know how to respond

• sheep getting the jab cos Boris said so *a rushed un safe jab *all about control
• people who've had the jab are still ill and dying *putting poison in your body when you don't know what's in it *wait till the side effects in yours to come *if we need a covid passport to go in shops etc il order online

What or how do I respond to it ?
I don't judge her choices so why judge mine

Nothing. I try not to engage with people who throw around terms like 'sheep' in place of an actual argument (same goes for snowflake, gammon, Karen, OK Boomer, and similar).

I would tell her to change the subject. Regardless of her thoughts on the vaccine, you have had it. You can't exactly have it removed.

Id rather be vaccinated than stupid.

“Baaaaaa!” would be my response. If having the vaccine makes me a sheep I’ll own it and laugh it off.......

"Baaaah"
Bleat me too it!

You have 2 response options

1. each to their own. I am not criticising you for not getting the vac so I'd appreciate some respect for my different choice.

Or

2. nope I am not a sheep just someone who is happy to do my bit to protect others.

Or just ignore her and her judgemental crap!

Most people don't judge others and just get on with their day

The fact that they keep bringing it up means they are having to keep justifying out loud to other people their decision not to have it, in order to convince themselves they are right.

Smile and let them wallow in their own fears

Some people are just knobheads. Ignore it.

Oh actually you should respond with my DMs go to when someone is on loop and being an arse "Ah set it to music at least" with an eyeroll

I love the ‘thank ewe’ response, up thread.

Ask her how her personal research into every other medication she has ever taken is going.

An animal so bloody minded that farmers have to co-opt specially trained animals to try to control them? An animal that's literally eaten whole swathes of this country into the countryside you know today? I'll take that as a compliment. Baaaa to the lemmings.

News flash, this person is not your close friend. They wouldn't be in my life any longer.

Tell her shes a conspiracist sheep and ask her ho w long we got to wait for this great reset ?

I would be judging her choices and I don't think I could continue meeting her, if she kept bringing the subject up.

Yeah, like others have said, just go baaah and ignore it. I have taken note though that some of these people do like to be a bit ‘special’, letting everyone know how their chakras are too sensitive, they are too ethereal and spiritual to have the sinister vaccine. Those folk are a good reminder of just how ego-driven a lot of new agey types can sometimes be.

Baaaahhhh

And be happy in the knowledge I am doing my bit

I'd ask her to please refrain making these comments in your presence as you find them hurtful. Surely she will have enough anti-vaxx friends she can sound off to on this issue. But given the rise in cases you might also want to consider not seeing any anti-vaxx friends for a while. Might keep you safer and sorts out the problem in one go. Once she had Covid, which I assume is likely at some stage given how many cases there are currently, she might see the vaccine in a new light.

@Londoncatshed

Bahhhhh

Snap!

Can't reason with stupid.

I'd roll my eyes and think or say fuck off.

Maybe ask them if they were vaccinated against polio as a child. Or tetanus. And they will almost certainly say yes. And then you can make baaa sheep noises at them.

And then avoid them in future if at all possible.

You could go with Let's respect each others choice and not start name calling

Or just roll your eyes and ignore.

The "you're sheeple" lot are ridiculous. As are the ones who go round screaming brainwashed at anyone who doesn't agree with them. It's best to just ignore them.

Funny enough, me & adult DD both agreed to be complete sheep about something today. We can live with it. Our convo went...

Her: "Are you going to wear masks after the 19th?"
Me: "It depends what other people are doing. If they all wear masks, I'll wear one. Or if I'm asked to. Or not if I feel like the only weirdo."
Her: "Me too! I've decided to be a sheep about it. Whatever other people are doing, it's what I'll do, too."

I don't know how to respond

• sheep getting the jab cos Boris said so *a rushed un safe jab = tell me about a vaccination that has had side effects? *all about control = how is having a vaccination going to control you? what is the point of this control
• people who've had the jab are still ill and dying = who told you the jab was 100% as they were lying *putting poison in your body when you don't know what's in it = if you had cancer would you refuse the treatment as its poison? *wait till the side effects in years to come = which vaccination do you know of with side effect, the funding took the time not the science *if we need a covid passport to go in shops etc il order online = your telling me you'll take criminal action and put others at risk, remind me why I am friends with you?

well at least i am not a lemming & grin & walk away
