Allow me to tell you guys a little story about peer pressure.
During my younger years I was a pretty good kid, then in my later teenage years I became friends with a pretty rough group of people. I started drinking and doing other drugs fairly often, but we were usually broke, and we all know what that leads to. It was a culture of peer pressure, and the things I would be pressured into were often hazardous or illegal. It eventually culminated with me being arrested for breaking and entering into a storefront in order to steal alcohol.
Obviously I'm not going to place the blame on the people I was friends with, some of those guys are still my good friends, and it was ultimately my decision whether to walk away or give into the peer pressure. If I had of just walked away a lot of pain could have been avoided. Needless to say being arrested didn't go over well with my family, and from that point on I promised myself I would never allow peer pressure to force me into doing something I don't really want to do.
Now more than a decade later and I'm being told that unless I'm doubled jabbed I can't visit my grandparents because they live in a little private community and it's against their rules. My grandfather probably doesn't have too much longer to live due a rare cancer that he has, and after the 2nd shot his blood counts went way out of the normal ranges, forcing them increase his toxic chemo treatment, so that probably shortened whatever time he did have left.
Look I get it, old people are more vulnerable, but they don't care if I'm vaccinated or not, I visited them multiple times over the last 2 years, and they are fully vaccinated, so if the vaccine does it's job they should be fine. I would never visit them if I was feeling sick anyway, and I barely leave the house these days. But I told my grandparents... they can't threaten me with my own family, and if it comes to it then I'll just have to stop visiting them in person.
That's how far I'm willing to take this. Because it absolutely sickens me to the very core of my being that the delusional control freaks we call "leaders" think they can create a culture of peer pressure to get what they want. These aren't just any old principles I'm standing up for, we're talking about the principles of freedom and liberty, the most foundational principles upon which western culture has always prided its self. All that said, do what you feel is right.

Tough choice.....
Here's some advice for you, it's lose not loose.

I feel sick to my core. In Aotearoa it is now mandatory for all kaiako *teachers* to be jabbed with both Jabs by the 1st of January 2022.
I am pro choice, and do not want to get junkie jabbed, but can see no other option apart from leaving a profession that I love, my only other option I can see is to take up the oldest profession in the world and become a prostitute, but that would kill my soul.
So I will get a full medical and bloods done before getting jabbed hoping this might give me an excuse nit to be jabbed, and if not maybe show that I am healthy incase any go wrong when getting the jab.
One of the most amazing early childhood teachers in Aotearoa and mentor to all teachers in Aotearoa is leaving the profession because of this mandate.
Any advice or tautoko *support* or kind words would help me right now, I am super stressed about the whole thing.

You dont have to disclose your jab status to anyone nor are they entitled to ask.
ITS PRIVATE.

That was pre-covid. Now medical discrimination is perfectly ok for covid status. Pretty soon you won't be allowed to enter a grocery store if you don't disclose your medical information.
