How would you feel if a friend went on freedom marches and posted multiple times a day on FB about vaccines, etc?

Childhood friend of mine lost her job due to covid and has chosen not to be vaccinated as she feels it is unsafe and untested. She fears the government have pushed the vaccines on to people who don't need it in order to gain control of the masses. Why vaccinate healthy children etc.

I disagree, am fully vaccinated and am concerned with what seems to be an obsession she has with attending protests and sharing controversial posts on her feed. There is virtually nothing else on there.

My stance is that yes, the vaccines were accelerated for approval but also a lot of the research already existed due to flu vaccines coming first. Both my children are vaccinated for everything else that was offered to us.

She doesn't believe that vaccines have chips in them or Bill Gates is the lizard master or any of that nonsense but she is clearly unhappy and spending a lot of time online with people who seem to have unconventional views.

I tend to think people who are posing anti vax info have to much time on their hands, are easily influenced people who are not working.

Dont have the vaccine or do have the vaccine I really dont care why you made your choice .
Please stop bullying people who have made different decisions to you

I think the irony is that people like her - anti-vax, anti-mask etc spend so much more time and brain space on thinking about covid, masks, vaccines etc. Weirdly covid seems to be a bigger part of people’s lives and self-identity if they don’t believe in it, while those of us who acknowledge its existence and severity by and large just get on our lives - get vaxxed when asked, wear masks in crowded places etc.

Having said that in my fb feed I probably roll me eyes equally at the covid deniers and at the zero covid zealots who’s views are (to me) equally unrealistic.
