You've got a lot on your plate man and it sounds rough - however I truly believe all experience is potentially valuable
The irony is thick here however isn't it?
You have long covid and are having a bad time with it.
lt's possible that a vaccine could have prevented that, and may well have prevented many, many others from similar
Yes irony indeed, but also guts and principle through it.
Now, if I believed first of all, which I don’t, that taking the jabs would definitely not weaken my immune system or mess things up even more, no risk of adverse reaction with such an extreme overreactive sensitivity already, and be the best thing for myself, mum and beyond, then I’d feel different.
I’m not afraid to touch a shop door handle. But I have avoided it for years using plastic bags as my susceptibility to viral infection by surface contact is so high.
Out of logic, not fear to minimise my chances of acquiring the odd new infection here or there.
I just don’t believe this jab is about what it’s labelled for, that proper testing has been done, plus they’ve said there’s no actual guarantee of immunity to C19.
I have the belief that taking it myself could well jeopardise my slim hopes of regaining my health one day. Even without an adverse event, and they do happen, I am abnormally reactive to medicines, chemicals, most things.
I hear you obviously. I’m not denying the possible impact and severity of Covid in cases. I admit, I underestimated it.
I still don’t trust the vaccine programme. I wouldn’t feel at all safe taking it. Neither would my mum. Again, we don’t stand alone on that.
I had this Long Covid set in before I was offered a jab months ago now.
I’m trying not to argue this. I don’t blame anyone for taking the jab. I appreciate the pressures and obligations motivating some, and a real fear or calculated benefit.
I do reject the way the politicians and media have been subtly stirring stigma, painting the “unjabbed” as dangers, problems to be avoided or dealt with.
I have upset Chinup with my Jews reference. I didn’t mean to. I’m way too stoned and cannabis slow head, unslept to get back into that right now. Or make any sense here atm, you know when you feel dumb from being so stoned. Black tea now, hot shower next to snap up a bit.
