If someone wants to argue against my reasoning or duel over the merits of my decision, then I am cool with that as I am confident in my position but it might be better to do so over in the tinfoil hats area or some such. Here I would prefer to limit the feedback to how my decision will impact my shot at reaching my goal and if possible get the ladies to weigh in on the sort of approach/phrasing that would be least apt to scare off potential matches.
Ok, here is the meat of matter. I am as opposed to this supposed "vaccine " as I can be. I am opposed to them to such an extent that I will no longer consider a relationship with a woman who has had any of those shots. Full stop.
Like I said, I will argue the specifics of why with anyone but please start a new thread and tag me rather than going for it here.
I am fully aware that I don't exactly have a crowd beating a path to my door and that taking a militant stance on the topic will pare down the quite small pool to a nearly nonexistent hint of a puddle. I don't need to have this pointed out. What I am looking for I suppose is how to go about phrasing my refusal to seem a little less like I am a loon of one stripe or another.
What my objections boil down to are
- Likely shortened lives
- Likely deeply impacted fertility and raised the chances of birth defects or stillbirth
There are a lot of other things I started to type but erased as I suppose those two are the big ones.
Some would criticize me for not wanting to marry a woman that has a limited time left and I get that but there is a difference between severing a relationship with a partner who has become ill and choosing to just never meet an entire high risk category and I don't see not wishing loose a wife as a negative. Yes at death us do part but I bloody well want a goodly number of years with a woman I would love.
Some would criticize me for not wishing to marry a woman who could not have kids but that is not my position. I might well marry a woman who could not have kids but that is something presumably known in advance as opposed to a vastly increased risk of stillbirth, birth defects or sterility.
A hundred other thoughts occur but the more I read back through what I said, the less I like it so I will just end it there.
