I may have figured out a basic premise of why some people took the shot and some didn't, beyond fear and brainwashing. I had to understand why we are ostracized.

I'm a lone wolf. I function well while alone. I direct my own life, I don't need others to like or approve of what I do, and I'm not insecure. I have good friends. When I worked, I had great relationships with co-workers (except the jealous ones). I'm confident, and can inadvertently scare "the pack."

Then there are the pack wolves, those who need a pack in order to feel safe and secure. Think of high school cliques. They aren't strong enough to go against the grain. They will follow what others in the group do, which is not the same as peer pressure. They need acceptance like we all need water.

The lone wolves can accept the differences of the pack, and protect them. But the pack will not reciprocate. Sorry if anyone is offended by this analogy.

Good thing the lone wolves found a home here.

I've always been a lone wolf too. An empath, a lone wolf, and I split right exactly down the middle of being an introvert/extrovert (just depends on the situation). To family and certain friends, I'm just plain weird. LOL. But that's okay. We all just have to be who God made us to be.😇❤️

Sounds like me, I've long said weird was my middle name!

Hahaha... But actually, we're unique and that's a beautiful thing. 😊I bet even Jesus was called weird. LOL! And it's okay if others can't see our worth -- because He does. He's the One who made us unique! 😁😇❤️🙏
