My wife and I are (were) very close with another couple, hanging out with them at least once weekly. They have ghosted us the last few months. I talked to my friend (him and his wife are both double injected and boosted) and he informed me they have been hiding because she is pregnant, four months along now. I congratulated him and invited them over for dinner. He texted me the next day asking myself and wife and kids to take a Covid test prior to their coming, which he would provide. I told him no and explained how Kary Mullis the inventor of the test said it can’t be used for that, and I texted him the pdf of “Breaking the Spell” and referred him to the chapter debunking the Covid test which takes less than five minutes to read. He simply replied “then we will decline the invitation”. My wife is upset because we hung out with them all the time during Covid while she was pregnant with our most recent child. We also have several young children (vs. being pregnant with one) and we aren’t asking them to take a test.
Wouldn’t it have been more polite for him to decline the invitation outright, than ask someone to take a test to go to their house for them to make you dinner?!
I’m just venting to look for support and see what other people say about this situation and if I’m crazy for not wanting to talk to these people ever again. Thanks
I absolutely agree with what you did. I don't think you have to hate them; they are just under the same spell as so many other lemmings are. It's really unfortunate that they fell for this plot, but the fact that they are in so deep that they want you to get tested to be around them… think about how many levels of stupid that is. They have taken a treatment that they think is so good that everybody should get it, but then they are afraid to be around people… because they don't think it works?
Don't ever lie to yourself; you know these people are not your friends.
The really unfortunate part about this situation is realizing that some folks are friendly but are not actually your friends. The same kind of people who would force you to get tested before hanging out with them would surely turn you into the police, to avoid persecution themselves, during or after a communist revolution.
Just be thankful you didn't have to pay with your life to learn that they are not your friends. (borrowing from the $20 comment in this same thread)
