An open letter to the antivaxx/antimask/MAGA people that I had to cut out of my life

Dear You Guys,

I am doing this for me more than I am for you. It's been three long years of pandemic bullshit, and before that, MAGA bullshit. So I guess it's been six years. It feels like forever. I'll be honest. I have no idea what the fuck possessed you to be like this. It was never me, it was always about you. You not taking responsibility for yourself, or the consequences of your actions. You thinking that a self-centric viewpoint would be enough. You refusing to do your homework and your own quality research, refusing to learn how to find the truth and learn anything at all and value the truth instead of just what you want to hear and fobbing it off on me. You refusing to listen to all the hard work and effort I plowed into finding the facts and refusing to respect my hard work and sacrifice. Same deal with my friends and family who work in health care, you don't give a shit about them and the dangers they're facing because of evil jerks like you. "Do your research." Bruh. I am only alive because of five years of nearly nonstop medical research that I did myself, fuck off with that. I had enough and I cut ties. For some of you, I ghosted you. For others, I just firmly said I can't deal with this and walked away. In all cases these bridges will never be built again and you know what? It's on you. It's not my fucking fault. For my whole life I have realized that other people don't expect me to be as loyal as I am, or as dedicated to supporting my friends as I am, or even as into wholesome nice polite civilized behavior as I am, and I really am, but for some reason I gave you my best and you spat it back in my face. I do not do well with betrayal, and you'll never live this down. Not with me, and not with anyone who's known you to do this. And if you ever harm a child thanks to your idiotic worldview, there's a pretty good chance you won't be able to live with yourself. You can't unmake a mistake like that. Be better and do better, and learn your lesson. But do it far away from me and far, far away from kids. Because the way you are right now, you are not fit to be around children. If you are a parent, you can expect them to go no contact when they turn 18, and I support that. For the sake of my own mental health I will not gaslight myself into thinking that maybe you have a point. You can do that to yourself on your own time. You've been brainwashed, but in the end, it's your own fault. I wouldn't want to be you right now.

Sincerely,

TortillaTortilla 7/24/22

8/19/22 P.S. it is not in my nature to ever forgive anyone who is willing to put a child at risk of getting seriously ill. I don't have it in me.
