Thanks! I plan on writing a series of these about different people I know personally, in different positions, whether we ever talked about the jabs directly, et cetera. I think the unwillingness of many jabbed to contemplate them can be summarized by two things: the famous quote from Mark Twain " It is easier to fool people than convince them that they've been fooled," and then yes, the fact that they'd like to mo e on and not ponder their own mortality. Reaching the already vaxxed can be very hard they do not want to hear that they might have permanently destroyed their health. But it's impossible to hold the perpetrators of this accountable until people admit their victimization by this fraud
Amy, This is my first article I am reading this morning. Thank you. Two things: First,You are an artist, you can draw. "Swept under the rug". I'm sure its been done before in past swept under the rug issues, maybe its worth the effort to "artistically" characterize just how much has been swept under the rug. A drawing is worth 1,000 words; corrected for real inflation, 1,140 words.
Second, my once good friend who insisted that vaccination was a social contract that one must submit to or be deprived of participation in society. Furthermore, he stated that if you should become injured or die from that procedure, it would be for the greater good. When I asked him, what if vaccination science was riddled with scientific fraud and your death or injury was based on fraud--well he said, that's different.
Thanks! It's sad that I never got into political cartoons I mostly paint murals: pleasant things like sunsets on the beach and whatnot. Many years ago I got discouraged by that exact critique of my work when I was shopping it around some studios in LA. At the time the art they favored was one of two types: metalwork sculptures which required welding skills and an impressive amount of equipment and moody atmospheric pieces where somebody swished a pallet knife of $400 worth of oil paint around a $200 canvas to make something that resembles, say, a Ukrainian flag. I found both styles discoherent and ultimately wasteful, perhaps reflective of the consumer driven zeitgeist of the time (2003ish). So I became a street artist doing portraits on the Venice Beach boardwalk for a time. I suppose I like to portray beauty in the world as my own type of therapy. I think my art is better than Hunter Biden's but nobody is paying me $500K for a piece!
Hi Amy, congrats on a great article!
And the sentence you wrote
> People who did "the right thing,” don't want to hear that they might have volunteered to shorten their lifespans
could be the title for a follow-up story digging into that particular issue.

Keep writing and drawing!

Is there life after therapy? Yes! Creativity! Bravo for another lovely article!
And "conjab"! Perfect new word!
Not Yet. Will see.
