So, You Did Not Take the COVID-19 Shot, Why Not?
I was quite shocked to review a poll I took on the Twitter last month showing that 85 percent of the people who follow the CTH Twitter account [TLR2] did not take the COVID-19 jab
Without any judgement implied or inferred I am genuinely curious, why not?
With the situation clearly in hindsight, and/or given all the pressure that may have been applied to each individual situation, I am genuinely curious what was it that made you choose not to take the COVID-19 vaccination.
If you are comfortable, and please understand that no pressure is intended in any way whatsoever, could you share why you didn’t take the vaccine and how do you feel about that decision in hindsight?
If you did take the vaccination, there is also no judgement in this question. As I said back in 2021 each individual is unique, each situation is unique, and each person has to make the best decision about what is in their individual best interests. So please, don’t let this issue divide our conversation.
I am genuinely curious as to the reason so many people would withstand the public and perhaps peer pressure to follow the ‘vaccination’ advice. Also, how has that decision impacted your life?
Did you lose friends and family over your personal health decision? Did those relationships heal over time?
Or anything else you might find pertinent to the general question.
Update:
The feedback you are providing is exceptional and trust me when I say that far more people are reading these responses than you could fathom. Additionally, the responses have reasserted my belief in the scale of our national assembly. There are far more of us, ordinary, hardworking, commonsense, pragmatic and smart people, than the self-described intellectual elites would ever admit.
In addition to the responses below, there have been hundreds of emails answering the question, which suddenly made me realize that no one has really ever asked this question before in a format that provides ordinary people with the ability to respond.
There is also a yearning to talk about this issue, publicly and with deliberation; massively so. And I am hopeful (insert grin here) this small corner of the internet is about to push this conversation into a much larger national forum. Our nation needs a big conversation about this.
If I had to pick a single phrase to encapsulate the myriad of phenomenal responses to the question I would use the phrase, “intellectual discernment”; which again provides buckets of faith that a large number of people are wide awake, albeit part of what I call a potato revolution growing safely underground.
Also, unbeknownst to front page readers I am stunned at the people in/around operation warp-speed, these are people in government directly attached to the issue, who have contacted CTH on the backside, stepped forward and said they also didn’t take the shot because, well, despite their belief in the purpose and principle at the time, things were just not adding up and ultimately seemed sketchy.
They couldn’t talk (so they felt), couldn’t even hint at their concern; but when it came to making the personal decision, they waited.
I also owe it to you to answer the question of my own status, which is a big heck no – I did not take the jab.
Why? Because in the preceding years of all my research into the rapidly exposed corruption of our government, there was just no way in hell I was going to trust that same system. A system that literally was working outside the constitution and legal framework of our nation to destroy a sitting U.S. President is going to suddenly care about my health.
Nope, it did not align. I also looked at the datapoint of the U.S.S. Comfort delivered to New York City under the grandest of media proclamations about impending medical doom, only to see the ship sit empty and completely unused despite the scale of the narrative that surround its purpose.
Lastly, and more obliquely, the datapoint of one of my heroes Franklin Graham assembling a NY field hospital to serve over 20,000 patients; another massive endeavor that sat empty and without use.
However, prior to the hindsight, it was the in-real-time fight from officials in/around the area who tried to block Samaritans Purse from setting up the facility. If the SARS-CoV-2 issue was as great a threat as declared, then why would anyone fight to keep out a field hospital that could provide such relief. It just didn’t make sense.
Those issues, and others, formed the baseline of my inability to reconcile the key issue of ‘trust’ needed to believe in the vaccine. Additionally, I am healthy and not within any of the risk factors.
However, I also feel strongly that each health decision is unique to the individual person, and everyone was making the best decisions for them based on the available information at the time; so, I carry no judgement for those who made a different choice.
As noted, I am bumping this to the top of the site so that our conversation can continue. Normally I would start a new thread, but this one is different.
I don’t want to break the continuity and I want to provide everyone the ability to see they are not alone.

I didn’t get vaccinated because it was clearly an new technology that had never been used before. I looked at the published randomised control trial results and it was obvious that the claims of 95% efficacy were to deceive people by using a relative risk. There was no long term safety information. Only fools accepted this treatment.

I refused because the info on mRNA was out there and from what I read it was and is something to be avoided.

I haven’t had any vaccines or injections in over 45 years except for maybe a tetanus shot. I haven’t trusted big pharma for decades. I take no big pharma drugs into my early 70’s.
No way was I going to get any mRNA injection even if it was test for 15 years before hand. Besides, the pandemic was faked and SARS CoV-2, if it exists, was nothing more than an exaggerated flu and mostly for those with other medical issues.
I no longer trust much of anything in the medical mafia. And I do not trust the media, government, medical experts and other nefarious idiots pretending to know everything and telling me what I should believe or think. They all have ulterior motives and mostly they are against humanity.

I would not purchase a 1st year of newly redesigned corvette, let alone shoot something that is brand spanking new into my body that I cannot remove. Hard Pass. But yet some of the smartest people I know, lined up for it. 5 times in some cases, after talking with them after the fact…they will continue to do it. it is bizarre.

The answer is quite obvious . The # 1 reason is because the WEF has been planning mass depopulation for decades and they made it clear that the vaccines would be the depopulation weapon of choice .
The plan: inject mankind with DNA altering vaccine
Depopulate the earth by means of organized epidemics
‘At least 4 billion “useless eaters” shall be eliminated
Maintain humanity under 500,000,000
Covid-19 vaccine strictly used for population control.
The vaccine will slowly kill millions – if not billions – of people over the next 3 to 5 years from the side effects that start to occur 24 – 48 months after injection to reduce the world’s population.
Using vaccines to reduce humanity
During a TED talk, Bill Gates echoed this goal, when he literally said that new vaccines will be used to reduce the world’s population .

God told me not to take the shot, or to get tested. He said I didn’t need it. I’ve since come across other Purebloods who proudly (and privately) kept themselves and their families safe.

The biggest red flag to me, and the reason why I didn’t take the shot, was in a pandemic situation every country has a strategy to deal with the situation. Years of experience and research molded together to formulate the best actions to be taken to protect the citizens of the country. We in the UK had such a plan which I reviewed and it recommended all the steps you would expect should be taken.
The actual actions taken were nothing like the strategic plan and in many crucial areas the reverse of what was recommended which to me mean their was an ulterior motive. No one throws away years of experience without reason. Enter the new savior of the world wonder treatment, it was clearly a con from the very beginning and the details of the new treatment only confirmed it.

I know about 24 people [friends and relatives] that got all or most of the shots.
ALL of them have had covid.
One has had blood clots in his bladder and is on a catheter; one has shingles; one has heart problems; one has “long” covid; one has lost normal movement in her left leg.
Of course, they will NEVER admit that the cause was from the vax.
I know 7 people [me included] that never got the shot and none of us has had covid.
Is that significant? Well, it is to me.

I have trained myself to understand political and media hyperbole ie. motivations. About 60 years ago I had a triple botched appendectomy. A lack of trust in the medical profession ensued that has certainly led to my thinking/decision making. No vax for this lad was a simple decision.
Cheers all

All of the above are valid reasons to not get the jab or trust the “authorities” and their demands.
As a biochemist, one of my main reasons for not getting the jab was that the technology was entirely unproved and had been a failure consistently for years in animal and human trials. But, more so, it is stupid to do gene therapy for a flu-type illness involving viruses that rapidly mutate. It makes no sense.

I did a BSc ( Biology) years ago and have kept up with current information and ideas. But what they were telling us was straight up lies, and any biology graduate worth the cost of their text books, could have told them. I have been identified as the family freak and ostracised, which I have found heartbreaking. My triple vaxxed daughter who is a nurse has become the family guru, her word is gospel. She recently contracted covid and ended up with a heart condition. Who does she blame – me and other non “vaccinated” people.

She is being stupid because a “vaccine” is supposed immunize you from it, but she got infected anyway despite THREE shots.
It takes a special kind of stupid to blame others who don’t get sick from it.

I believe when analyzing the past few years of this covid hysteria we can label those who refused the covid shot as “SMART” people. Now I know many people who are more intelligent than me who got the fake-vaccine, but being intelligent is not always being smart. These people could be doctors, lawyers and other high profile jobs with many letters after their names. They have the ability to read and retain information and ace studies, but unfortunately they lack smarts. Then there are those in society who took the jab purely because they did not want to miss out on their holidays and attend sport and music venues. If you are not awake to the grander scheme of the psychotic elites, then I can kind of forgive those people for the decisions they made not knowing a small group of nefarious individuals want to kill them.
However, I have only been red pilled myself really for about two years in terms of reading and researching who the likes of Schwabb, Gates, Soros etc are and understanding the goals of the WEF, Trilateral Committee and Club of Rome.
When the news of Covid first broke and the BBC/CNN etc fear machine went into full drive of course I was concerned for the safety of humanity, my family and I. We were subjected to images of people being taken out of buildings in plastic boxes, individuals dropping in the streets and people being sealed into their homes, but it did not take long for me to start questioning the whole narrative. At the time I was living in the United States. I moved to Pennsylvania in 2012 and working on different visas I made a permanent move at the end of 2018 selling my home and leaving all I knew behind.
On the TV Fauci told everyone that face masks “DO NOT” work and that they would not be required. A week or two later he completely went against this advise, shut the US down and had everyone muzzled. This was the first alarm bell for me!
The second was walking into the local grocery store with my mask on and realizing that there was not a single chemical waste bin in site? A deadly contagious virus and no safe way to dispose of the masks on peoples faces? I went home and being of an analytical mind with some degree of science background I researched the masks and cross referenced the porosity against viral particles. Low and behold the porosity of a mask is much bigger and so they were absolutely useless and still are. Not to mention the amount of fungal and bacterial growths that rapidly grow on the mask in the warm incubated environment of ones warm breath. All of this plus elevated CO2 levels being recirculated into the body had me ditching the mask after one use. This was to cause many issues and confrontations going forward with those demanding I wear it and many nights talking in front of my children’s school boards pleading they do not enforce these masks on our kids within the school. We all know the phycological and physical damage that whole exercise caused to our most precious members of society.
And also, where were the sick people? Were were the people dropping in the streets? A quick look even at the most elevated and manipulated death rates within the mainstream papers showed at least a 97% survival rate if infected, in truth it was around 99.7%. Let’s not get started as to why the virus only attacked the older generation in the old peoples homes, ask Midazolam Matt Hancock and Remdesivir Governor Cuomo.
Then there was the fake-vax mandate. I was told because my company had ties to government contracts we had to take the jab or lose our job. I flat out refused this and filed religious exemption, but thankfully it was not needed as the mandate was thrown out of the supreme court if memory serves. That was a battle won, but as I was on a visa which was set to expire in February of 2022 I had to return to the US embassy in London to extend this whilst my green card application was still in process. This meant that to re-enter the US my wife and I would have to be fake-vaxxed, a mandate which is still in place unbelievably to this day.
Remember that I had sold my house, uprooted my family in order to move to the US. Now I was being told that to stay I must inject myself with a poison that I knew was experimental and had been causing severe side effects in people and killing many. As I write this email I am now living and working in the UK so you know my decision. The decision my wife and I had to make we would make it again, but we did it in the face of much scrutiny and ridicule from family and friends. I had a very good job, nice house and my wife and children had a great network of friends, all which has been lost needlessly thanks to a small minority of money hungry occultists. I stand by my decision everyday and I continue to fight and raise awareness against the NWO because I have much skin in the game and they have cost me everything. I now am in a position whereby I cannot afford to provide my family their own home and my marriage has been strained many times due to our situation.
I will always forgive as Jesus forgave, but I will not forget. We the people who refused these shots were very close to interment camps (some people in countries like Australia and China not so lucky) so we can never forget what was done to us. If I am positive and thankful for one thing, it is that this whole ordeal has woken a lot of people up to many aspects of the political world and their deceptions. The WEF seem to be in panic mode at the moment and the harms of these shots are in plain site. This will get so much worse before it gets better. I believe this war is spiritual and if we come together, love one another and resist the elites plans for our demise then we can build a better more awakened society that can ascend to higher levels of consciousness. Too long have we been suppressed and lied to,
Had it not been for sites like this spreading the truth and for people like Alex Jones, Greg Reece’s and David Ickes, then god knows where I would be.

Nope I’m not part of the big experiment either. Didn’t get the jab. The bigger the push, the bigger the resistance. I was especially offended by nyc’s use or should I say misuse of the Statue of Liberty to push the no good shots and masks! That Statue is about Freedom! Mandated experimental drugs that change your blood are not FREEDOM! This is shit is so deep you need hip waders! My immediate family,husband and adult children and spouses didn’t get the jab, but other family members did. They probably thought it was the patriotic thing to do as that was a big part of the propagandaPUSH. Discussing truth with one member she said that everyone has their own truth! I considered this a cop out, but she is probably trying to rationalize and definitely in denial. The vaxed in the family have had the flu repeatedly. They are having trouble seeing the connection. We had a cold, which by the way, has no known cure! I looked my symptoms up on line, found that the cold could last 3 weeks. By testing for covid People buy into it. It’s just a flu! Like all other flu. It’s all about money, power, tyranny, and submission. Nothing whatsoever to do with Patriotism. The government needs to keep their hands to themselves and out of Healthcare and choices of individuals regarding their own or their children’s Healthcare.There is currently no clean blood supply as the red cross sees no difference between the clotted blood and the pure blood, their heads in the sand.
The government despises natural remedies and vitamins! SICK SICK. They don’t get enough of the pie! Doctors and real scientists ate being threatened by the government. Now they wanna push the shots on food sources like beef, pork, poultry. These are insanely scary times. Could this have anything to do with gates ideas regarding artificial meat. Perhaps by killing off these food sources that will be the alternative. SICK times indeed. Power to the people. Don’t buy in to this crap. Vote. Patronize the right businesses and throw away the masks. Freedom of Speech! Free Will! Freedom of Choice!

You’ve been blessed with intuition and you better keep following it! The truth will come out and when things change you will make more informed and smart decisions. Bless you and yours!

Facts that are now hard to find on internet:
Prior to 2019, NO ONE 65 & older, were counted when the annual flu deaths were tallied. This was due to the fact that SO MANY died from flu, it would artificially inflate the numbers indicating how serious a given flu season was. The Machine suddenly started counting EVERY death with C19 – & all the issues with those counts are well documented here & elsewhere.
Prior to c19, a cold virus, it was well known, documented & understood that any immune compromised person, elderly individual, could have ANY cold or flu suddenly become pneumonia, rsv, etc,…& cause death.
In the 1st year, until March AFTER the shots rolled out, my daily paper printed a list of deaths by age.. I took screensots as proof each time. Overwhelmingly, over 80 years old, were the ONLY high number, smaller number for over 70…you get the gist. All the people who were NEVER COUNTED BEFORE, these were added. And the issues of dying from or with c19 are here & elsewhere, well documented.
99.9% survival rate…quote from American surgeon General. Most get a mild cold unless elderly, immune compromised…on Nationl tv program.
PCR test….quietly removed & replaced by antigen test, after 1 year of shots. The AVALANCHE of positive tests reported constantly by msm ends abruptly- zero media coverage, but its implied, right? The mighty covid shot has saved us all
The website NoMoreSilence was hacked and still not up.
These are just a few…I just don’t have all day

There were many good points mentioned above — I identify with so many of those.
Now, being “schooled by life” to identify propaganda and blatant lies by big “them” — I had very similar outlook at the emerging pattern to that of Prof. M. Desmet (Mass Formation) — there was no correlation between the real level of danger and the PTSNB (…Should Not…) response to it, while all the countries acted as if in lockstep.
Too many serious warning signs for me.
And then came the ultimate deal breaker — using a false interpretation of the injection efficacy, do you remember those ~96%, and then the constant moving of the goal-posts and even changing the vaxx definition?
And, as a conclusion, I went through with the infection by this claimed “virus of covidism” (just a bad flu for about a week or so) and surprise, surprise, so went all my relatives/acquaintances who all took the injections.
The icing on the cake was the US briefly admitting of “unvaxxed” visitors who had proven history of infection of less than a few months and its consequent revocation in favor of the jabs; all the while many studies of antibodies from the “original SARS” (2002-2004) have shown the natural immunity lasting longer than 17 years!
I must rest my case now or I would be compelled to sharpen the guillotine blade again…
Cheers, JaKo

I have taught bio for over 40 years — I understand mRNA and how it directs tRNA to translate proteins, then disassembles and is reassembled for mRNA, tRNA and even rRNA and the subunits could also be reassembled in DNA replication. That was flag #1. Our family dr suggest we wait until 1 March, 2021, when the J&J vax would be out and was a more traditional vax. On 1/29/2021 we were tested and had Covid (from the stove repair man who came into the house and took off his mask, breathing all over the stove, which I did not wipe down after he left). I had already been reading a LOT of medical journals by that time (I was teaching pre-med bio at a local university) and knew/taught about natural immunity — about 6 weeks after being ill we finally got to see a dr (not through a computer screen) and our antibody titer was done – it was sky high. Two years later we still carry measurable antibodies (and probably lots of femoral cells).
