I would just like to say hello and thank you so much everyone for this amazing forum.
I came here for the discussion and advice on health first and foremost, as I suppose most of us did but very quickly I also got into the covid threads and I have been reading them throughly and listening to the videos and clips and reading the links to all the articles for the last month now. I wasn't able to register at that time but I have now been able to and so I just wanted to write to say that the threads have really kept me going throughout the last month when things here in France have been getting worse re the vaxx.
We were mandated country-wide in the middle of August, with no access to cinemas, gyms, swimming pools, intercity trains or buses, museums, art galleries and large gatherings nor cafes, bars and restaurants and larger shopping malls for those who were not double jabbed (although the supermarkets and stand-alone shops have been free of the mandate). Health workers have been mandated and there has been huge pressure from the community for 12-15 y.o.s to also get the vax for entry into school (which has on the whole been successful). I believe at the moment 14% of the population of France are vaccine-free (over 12). I have decided to stay in the 'control group' for as long as I possibly can - i.e. forever. I am homeschooling my daughter this year and not participating in the things that I love to do i.e. eating out, shopping at larger malls and meeting up with friends to have a coffee etc. all first world problems I know, but ....
also, in our town we must wear masks OUTSIDE on the main streets, no matter if you are the only person on that street.
There are only one or two people that I know living here who have not had the jab now, so I do feel rather isolated and these forum discussions have really helped keep me going, given me the 'other' side of the story with factual information that I could make my own mind up about without bias and also it has helped me persuade my husband not to get vaxxinated (for the moment). I think it is an amazing resource and I am deeply saddened that no counter-narrative is widely encouraged in the mainstream news. Through your links I discovered Peter McCullough, Robert Malone, Kary Mullis, Mike Yeadon, Geert Vanden Bossche, Roger Hodkinson and many amazing websites and articles. I have seen some sanity in this utterly crazy crazy world thanks to you all.
There is going to be a review of the mandate here in France on November 15th, and I hope by then the government will see sense and open up the cafes and restaurants etc. again to the non-vaxxed (in the same way that Denmark has just done). By then unfortunately, there will not be many of the 'control group' left, it will be so minuscule in fact, that we may be completely forgotten about and the 'pass sanitaire' may become a way of life for the French forever.
