I think some better survey questions would be something like this:

If a family member, friend, or acquaintance has died since August 2021, were you ABLE to get any information regarding vaccination history?

2nd question: "How did politics affect your family or friends between 2020 and 2022"?

The summer of 2021 was crazy....I was busy planning for a son's wedding reception and I don't think people knew what to do as far as coming to it...{17 'no-shows'}. Then in December of 2021, I was more or less forced to do a retirement party for husband because both sons wanted to come for that....{to surprise 'dad'}....by December of 2021, a person was either vaccinated or NOT....

For one full year, I argued with my two sons about the vax....I put it off by saying: "What's the rush"? Husband had gotten fully vaxed and I have been dealing with his issues ever since.

Then came the birth of a new grandson...in January of 2022....and my son said: "Either get a vax mom or no see grandson"....I worried for 9 months for the unborn baby....then the formula shortage happened. Since I didn't know the history of vaccinations for the momma, when she said she wasn't going to nurse, I was relieved...but then changed her mind. I thought: "oh great, now the baby will get some sort of residual contaminants....

So, I pretended to get a shot...(I had a shot of something alright)....just to see new grandson in April of 2022...that was the last time I saw him in person and I was shocked the baby had no control over his head....I had a difficult time burping him, and the babe never seemed to be calm. He seems to have the mouth of a 4 year old now, he is a big little guy now....he is almost 2.

All those arguments over covid led my son to mistrust me....in April of 2023, he finally said he couldn't trust me to be around his child, due to my lack of respect of boundary's...{?}....it seemed his mental status was affected by all these shots...he had fought with 'dad' at a hunting trip which I seemed to be in the middle of as well...[one year ago].

In the meantime, so many relatives have died and side effects with my 9 sibs are difficult to list or 'listen to'!

I will be visiting my grandson soon...perhaps in January.....and the re-building is slow but there is hope. I think politics played a big part because he hated Trump...many Trump haters in the small town I live in are very quiet these days....especially when I look in their vaccinated soul-less eyes....and to think it started in 2008/9....only difference is I called them 'toxic people' back then.....

Last night, husband and I went to a volunteer banquet {those that help with a food pantry thing + spouses....}. Oh, we discussed mathew perry's death but everyone of them were quiet about covid & politics and we went down memory lane with things...of course that was 'safe'. NO ONE wants to admit they were duped...

I force people to confront this crap because we can't let them continue to get away with not confronting the truth. I am sick to death of screaming into the wind about the dangers and now we have to be nice cause they aren't able to face their mistake? NOPE

If a person is fully vaccinated, and hates Trump, it makes it so much worse in arguing with family members...just last night my vaccinated sister couldn't wait to tell me how Trump made a mistake saying he was in Sioux Falls instead of Sioux City....I said: "Well, Trump 5....biden 50,000"......[mistakes]. She claims she didn't vote in 2020 and I said: "well, you gave away your ballot whether you knew it or not" and then no discussion of J6 stuff.... Since she is a sports enthusiast, she has denied all deaths & correlation with covid vax with the athletes....she fiercely protects MN (she lives there) and all the leaders, especially amy klodhopper....(klobuchar)....and yet, if I don't call her or talk to her for a few days, she gets very upset.....my other sibling is dealing with health issues, and she keeps looking for a doctor to help her with potential ALS...she calls me every time she falls.....last week, she broke her foot in falling....she sucks the life out of me in our hr. phone calls {well, they both do}.....because she is mentally handicapped.... And it's very taxing to talk to the kids because everything is 'hunky-dory'. The harder I try to stay away or mind my business, the more some people enjoy getting in my face....they enjoy pushing buttons or envelopes....I just try to smile through it, but I make a lot of weird noises....and I say: 'hummmm a lot'.....
