Unjected: the success of the site of appointments for the unvaccinated
Today the questions that are asked on dating sites include a very invasive one on privacy: "Are you vaccinated?".
Entrepreneurs Shelby Thomson and Heather Pyle of Maui, Hawaii, found online dating sites a frustrating experience for those who haven't been vaccinated amid the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in 2021.
In the face of discrimination and censorship, many unvaccinated people have lost jobs and relationships because they chose not to get vaccinated. The unvaccinated "didn't have the ability to tell they weren't vaccinated" to potential online dating partners, Thomson said. Too often the uninoculated were ignored on dating sites.
In May 2021, the two partners, mothers and best friends launched " Unjected ", a dating app for the unvaccinated, on the Google and Apple stores. “We started seeing people who wanted to find a partner,” Thomson said of their unvaccinated friends.
However, soon after the app's launch, Thomson and Pyle began receiving hate mail and then negative media publicity. Apple decided to remove “Unjected” from the app store, claiming it provided medical misinformation. “We adjusted everything and played a game of chess until it met Apple standards,” Thomson recalled. But it still wasn't enough. "It took us until July 31 to still be banned."
When Google threatened to follow suit, Thomson and Pyle pulled the plug on both media giants and Unjected.com went live using GoDaddy's web domain in August 2021. great technologies is not our friend. They don't want us to exist in this realm. They will do anything to make sure we are censored or eliminated."
Thomson said "Unjected" is more than a dating service for the unvaccinated. It is also a database of blood banks and fertility banks for the unvaccinated. But despite the war waged by Big tech, the site has become a success: the dating service alone boasts 110,000 subscriptions in 85 countries and 3,000 to 5,000 new customers every month, Thomson said. For a site that is banned from major platforms, it is a remarkable success, which will certainly continue.
