Hawaiian Style: A Discussion on Personal Choices
By Kalani Santana
Kalani Santana
“I know some of you find it funny because of your disagreement, but let’s never forget—it’s a personal choice for everyone. Everyone has their own reasons for doing it or not doing it. I respect either way, as civility works that way too. Respect goes a long way. I just hope people can see my point of view. Aloha!”
Jordan Lerma
“Can we be happy it’s your choice and not post it in a public group?”
Kalani Santana
“Jordan Lerma, I just had to share a point. Glad there are others who understand.”
Brenda Adams
“It doesn’t keep you safe and definitely not others. Just pray it doesn’t harm you as it has so many.”
Kalani Santana
“Brenda Adams, it works for me. I mean, I can still get the flu, but not the serious kind. Mahalo.”
Jason Donovan
“Kalani Santana, let’s cut the names like flu and COVID out. Let’s just say upper respiratory.”
Kalani Santana
“Jason Donovan, 👍🤙.”
Kris Nelson Wolle
“Kalani Santana, oh, sorry to tell you that you can absolutely still get the flu, serious or not. I do agree, though—freedom of choice is important.”
Deborah Louis
“Jason Donovan, there’s a huge difference. I wish it was just an upper respiratory infection.”
Deborah Louis (to Brenda Adams)
“In my healthcare work, I’ve witnessed it benefit many individuals, including my own family members. Let’s just be kind about people’s choices!”
Brenda Adams
“I wasn’t unkind. Did you even read my post? I happen to be in healthcare and can think for myself. I have seen so many with adverse reactions. Getting the vax doesn’t mean you won’t get sick or prevent you from passing it on. Let’s be kind to people sharing their experiences.”
Chris Terry
“So uninformed, but opinionated without justification. Do yourself a favor and do some homework. You’re probably alive because your parents had you vaccinated.”
Demian Barrios
“Yes, it’s a personal choice. So why the need to share your choices publicly if not for attention or to start conversations on the matter?”
Kalani Santana
“Demian Barrios, I respect your comment. Just hoping people can see my point of view. Glad there are people who do, though. Can’t expect everyone.”

Conclusion
The discussion around personal choices continues to be a sensitive and polarizing topic, but mutual respect and civility go a long way in maintaining constructive conversations. As Kalani said, “Respect goes a long way. Aloha!”
Personal Choice and Public Debate: A Discussion on Vaccines
Kalani Santana
“I agree with you 🤙 and I’m glad you got yours. It’s just too bad people believe unproven theories instead of doctors and scientists who have studied medicine for most of their lives, going all the way back to the polio outbreak.
I don’t know what would’ve happened if we didn’t have the polio vaccine.
Just a note to everyone else—this is my personal feeling. I am not looking to argue this point. If you comment directly addressing mine, I will delete your comment. However, feel free to make your own statement as a separate comment. Thank you.”
Sally Sefton
“Are you talking about vaccines? Vaccines are a personal choice, but they help prevent terrible illnesses if everyone participates. Look back in history: polio, typhus, whooping cough, measles, and of course, COVID.”
Andy Rauch
“Sally Sefton, that’s not how a vaccine works.”
Chris Harris
“Vaccination being a personal choice is like saying whether to receive the polio vaccine is optional.”
Marc Landry
“Chris Harris, it is a personal choice, and it doesn’t keep anyone else safe.”
Bruce Blyth
“Just so you know, it doesn’t work. Facts hurt. NEXT.”
Kalani Santana
“Bruce Blyth, true—not for everyone.”
Kathleen O’Leary
“Bruce Blyth, which vaccine are we talking about?”
Paul Menichini
“Bruce Blyth, it doesn’t work? Correct. Here we are four years later, and tens of thousands of people are still dying every week. Oh wait, no they’re not. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that shortly after the vaccine was released, the numbers started tumbling. Antivaxxers amaze me.”
Deborah Louis
“Bruce Blyth, not true!”
Julie Bryant Bartolini
“Bruce Blyth, but did you die?”
Kathy Ann Masengale Johnson
“Too bad more people don’t agree with you. I chose, for my own reasons, not to be vaccinated, but I’m perfectly happy to let everyone make their own decisions.”
Kalani Santana
“Kathy Ann Masengale Johnson, trying to make a point, but I guess some others don’t get it. Sadly.”
Kermit Hanson
“Kalani Santana, I respect your point. But I have no respect for the people who dismissed others’ choices not to get the vaccine and militantly persecuted or even advocated for withholding medical treatment for those who didn’t get it. I hope those people are shamed into oblivion.”
Julie Bryant Bartolini
“Kermit Hanson, did people really choose not to medically treat the unvaccinated? Being in healthcare, I never saw care denied to the unvaxxed. It’s not in our oath to judge patients!”
Ea Kealoha
“Julie Bryant Bartolini, even in January 2025, there are people needing organ transplants who are being refused because they didn’t get the mRNA injection. It’s very much a ‘thing’ and widely publicized for those paying attention.”
Marc Landry
“My doctor admitted that part of his education was funded by the pharmaceutical industry. He said they’re taught it’s their responsibility to convince the public to comply with what pharmaceutical companies want to sell. Doctors used to be taught to be honest and identify false research findings.”
Jason Donovan
“I work at a school as a custodian—four years, no vaccine, never got COVID. I’ve lost people to that shot, though. Also, many people I know have gotten boosters and had COVID three times. The only medal going into my body is lead.”
Jack Magnus
“Thanks for posting and for getting vaccinated. You’re helping reduce the spread of flu—and it’s a nasty one this year. Ignore the haters and the paranoid. Polio was beaten by vaccines.”
Terry Harris
“Choices you make in society affect others in that society. I wish more people would balance their personal rights with others’ rights to life.”
Stacey Rosman
“Maybe we should share a post if we get circumcised? Seems relevant if getting a flu shot is.”
Dervie Hernandez
“Wow, I agree with your post. People just don’t get it and still respond with rude comments. It’s his personal right to do whatever he wants. Much aloha to you and your ‘ohana!”
Paul Savage
“Can you put a palm tree and ocean behind you instead of that wall?”
Eloy Art Farbin
“The next pandemic will kill us all.”
Rob Pace
“The Fauci Ouchie 💉.”
Lisa Mitchell
“I’m embarrassed for you 🫣.”

Enforced by social pressures:
Hawaii, the local NM Spanish-Indian trip,
The rural US small town group think.
Church society, enforced non-reading.
I did the reading of all the comments
and really Hawai’i is intellectually dumb
and pidgin-proud.
I read “Virus Hunters of the CDC”,
“Ebola”, “The Hot Zone” by Preston,
“ The River”, by Ed Hooper, lots about
Biowarfare, and so I’m sure, Stock,
that you experience all the time, like
me, that you want to be kind and like
Dale Carnegie Win Friends and Influence
People , but you can’t even have a conversation with a lot of people, they
are so programmed, taught to be proud
of their little plateau of educational achievement which entitles them to
Command you. Nurse Ratcheds run
the medical world. Pharmacy is the
Biblical word Sorcery.
Shedding of hemorrhagic fever virus,
with blood coming from everywhere,
is documented. Sweaty skin contact
can transmit organisms. Etc.
It’s viscerally painful to know that all
these well-intentioned people, Hawai’i,
NM, everywhere, are not going to be
informed by the intelligent commentators on that blog. If the truth
is, I say IF the truth is that the Pfizer
mRNA shot will mature into deadly
results after a few years, everyone is
shedding upon everyone else in their
lives. You can imagine a Boss Mama
character pushing everyone to drink
the cyanide koolaid, scolding those that
Talk Back.
I am cognizant of shedding, and not sure of the mechanism, but apparently Natto is a key mitigator. I eat some 4 or 5 times a week. It’s a strong flavor, but once used to it, its really good. And it is easy to find it at every store in Hawaii. It’s a probiotic, and my plan for the new year is to eat at least 3 pro-biotics foods or drinks per day. Also will start swimming and surfing.
There are a fair amount of mask wearing people, to them it means “I care” about my fellow person. Not thinking that it is also a means of subjugation and societal control.
