1:03:11 She specialized in child sex crimes when she became a federal prosecutor. Hangin' judge! And then, and then she became a TV lawyer Now this is hesitancy stuff and you know Republicans and all I need to share some personal things because i am struggling with how to handle the following situation...personal situation My dad passed away in November of 2019, just before his 80th birthday. You recall I had just been visiting my daughter and I turned around and went back because my dad passed away and what you do is hang out with your family so I think I turned around in 72 hours and flew back to be with everybody
1:04:01 And, you know he wanted to be cremated and we had set up... He has a burial site. There's a Curry family plot in Armonk That's where I want my plaque, I guess. There is space for every curry! And that's where his ashes were to be strewn or a ceremony was to be had and that all got cancelled Everyone had tickets everything you know Willow coming from Italy My sister Tiffany coming from the Netherlands and A lot of other people a lot of other curries coming from around the country so that it clearly was postponed
1:04:37 And we've been looking, it was like oh maybe now. So now we're a year and half further up and Tiffany is my sister Tiffany who's in Holland has always been kind of she manages this she's managed all these things that she sends out one of her beautiful family emails. I want to share some of that because of how it affects me and maybe you can give me some advice So, and I'll skip some things obviously. How y'all doing? Saw on the TV the other night half of all Americans have had their shots and that life is pretty much getting back to normal at least New York showed everything open and people in the streets Here in the Netherlands, we're a bit behind. The government promises everyone to be vaccinated by the first of July I can hardly imagine but we try to stay positive with belief Still slow at the airport where my sister works They tried to make it as hard as possible to travel To fly out you need a test and get back in the country even two negative tests You can imagine the cost I sincerely hope that will be possible to get to the US soon to give y'all a big hug and for the ceremony And so then the first note comes back from Uncle Don and Aunt Meg
1:05:41 My favorite, really my favorite people... Don of course is the big CIA guy. He's been very open to me I've learned a lot from him and they are now Meg is 91 and she was a spy for the Russia desk at the CIA and Don is 93 so they're up there And their response is, finally! We were able to get appointments for the vaccine. I must say it's reassuring as the weather warms we have had one or two people come for an afternoon drink on our deck we have dozens of daffodils to admire in the meadow. I'm gonna skip over this stuff. We are pleased to see our children here on brief visits, always cheery so helpful." This is typical of Meg. "'I expect we'll be the extent of our travels this year which is pretty much nothing. We think if you also often always pleased to get word and we look forward to everyone gathering at the homestead there in Armonk for Jay," from my dad. And then comes Uncle Rennie and Uncle Rennie he just throws it in there
1:06:44 He is a former NASA scientist, space guy actually. Probably also spook I don't know We are doing well here in Santa Cruz you both had the second shot so we feel safe while interacting with and dining indoors with people who are also vaccinated We want to travel, but travel is a problem. Europe is out and I even worry about domestic travel especially keeping a safe distance while going through the security lines Yes! I'm vaccinated But it's less than 90% effective for my age group We have too many people in the US who are refusing the vaccine Hopefully they will get infected soon so we'll get to herd immunity And things will settle to the new normal Whatever that is... And then my cousin chimes in
1:07:24 Great to hear all the wonderful updates. I've already had my first vaccine, everyone's in on the vaccine train! So what do i do when either I can show up and we can have the confrontation or I need to communicate somehow? To say um... We are not getting vaccinated, we would love to be at my father's funeral What are we going to do about your issues with my so-called hesitancy?" And I'm really... Wait, wait. Somebody sent a note to you saying that? No no no! That's what I... because clearly the message here is people who don't get vaccinated are problem or ruining it for everybody else this is a big family email the thread goes on It sounds like it So what do I do? Do I say hey guys Tina and I are not getting vaccinated
1:08:18 Uh, so see you there! You know what to do. Well my advice is not ethical Okay yeah it's a lie And that's, and I'm not of that opinion because you know... No. I've done lying. I'm not gonna lie! I cannot lie about this shit. Yeah okay well then you're not gonna lie. You're not gonna lie? That's fine. Personally if i was asked about it, I looked at what happened in Norway, I think when your older is probably the less, when you don't want to get the vaccine even though its supposed to be
1:08:59 everyone else should get the vaccine to protect the elderly. I'm going to call myself that now and But the elderly, if you give them the shot anyone over 60 the way I see it. You're putting them at risk because of the nature of the shot and looking at what happened in Norway this should never give to anyone over 80 ever but they're still doing it here so but in fact uncle Don got a shot he's you know should have been prohibited So there is a lot A lot of bull crap that you have to deal with. I don't know, you're shit out of luck! That's what I have...that's my advice. I got no good advice. I mean, the only two things i can come up with You can be seen as the family nutcase Oh well, I don't think that's anything new Remember? I didn't join the agency, I didn't finish school, I became a VJ
1:09:57 which is, you know underneath curable lepers on their scale. But I love my family and i really want to be with them. And show business! And I really want to see them so the only thing I can think of is say hey look because I'm going to be honest this lying is not the way to go um we're not taking the shot uh happy to to social distance from you, whatever you want. I mean and then just leave it up to them how far they wanna take that. I would again bring back the point now that you got the one really nutty uncle that's in there saying well it's only 90% effective so if you haven't had this shot I still got 10 percent chance thanks to you when the real answer should be you got vaccinated what are you worried about?
