I’m a 21 year old who was formerly in college and is now working full time because of a combination of circumstances, grades, grandma having a stroke and a bunch of other shit.
Anyway, I don’t want to take the damn booster, and mom is literally making me walk home because she doesn’t wanna be in the same car as me (warning sign I should’ve noticed a while ago, as she threatened to kick me out if I didn’t take the Pfizer jabs), and now I think I’m gonna get kicked out of my house.
Right now I don’t have much to my name, if anything at all (except about 1k worth of Yugioh cards) and I also have debt because of me being an idiot with other shit, but I’m on the way to paying the debt off. If I do get kicked out, what should I do first? Right now I’m trying to see if any of my friends could take me in, and I’d be able to pay rent if they’d charge, but it just feels like hell, knowing my mom is a Branch Covidian, even though she’s an RN.
If you present facts that recently-vaccinated 20 year olds don't need boosters (yet) or it's fairly dangerous to young men then you're basically calling her stupid and uninformed and she can't admit that about herself.
I think the way to go is to convince her that everybody else got duped as well, that she's not stupid for falling for the fear porn, and that she's a smart person for being able to get out of the cult.
For instance, take this recent poll:
https://news.gallup.com/opinion/gallup/354938/adults-estimates-covid-hospitalization-risk.aspx
Showing that half of democrats believe risk is 50% or higher, when actually it's <1%. How did those people (not her, even though it is her) get it so wrong? Exaggerate things by 50x and when she says that's crazy point out that's how much most democrats (but not her) are wrong about covid.
However you go about it, the point is to not directly put her in the group you are criticizing. Those people are idiots, not you're an idiot mom.
Are boosters even approved for healthy young people? I thought it was just 65+?
