I'm no anti-vaxxer, very pro science/pro-vaccine - but there's something fishy about these vaccines, for real, and it causes me not to trust them at all. From the way they are pushing these vaccines instead of letting people take them if and when they feel confident, which in our modern day rarely takes long, to the fact they are literally saying their vaccine protects you from squat so all active precautions must continue...Hi guys. It's been a while. Hope everyone is ok and doing well. Just been reading this thread. Got a text today saying I'm now eligible for the covid jab as I've just turned 50. But to be honest dont know what to do. In all honesty I dont really want it. But over here in the UK they are trying to make a "vaccination passport" which with our European friends makes a holiday or oversees travel impossible unless you have it . I'm someone who is never I'll. I need a satnav to find the doctor's!. Always kept in good health as used to box and still run etc. Last October I felt cold and achy legs one Saturday and a headache. Temperature was through the roof. Ended up going to bed. I booked a covid test for the monday. How the hell I drove to the test centre I'll never know I was that weak. Cant remember going there!. Got the results the day after I was positive. The next 2 weeks was the strangest weeks of my life. I was being sick, headache
It just makes me feel I'd rather die than get this particular vaccine...
But more power to those who want to... I just think there's something terribly wrong here...
And couldn't sleep. Everytime I opened my eyes the room was flashing. And developed a cough and breathing problems. Honestly thought I was going to die. I remember one day going to the bathroom like an old man and leaning on the sink before I had a piss, And the floor turned to a river around my feet with rocks. Crazy as hell. And I kept seeing this colour bar? All very weird. And there is reports over here that people who have had the virus then have the covid jab are I'll again. So I've got until the 30th of this month when I'm booked in to have it or not. Decisions decisions.
All any of us can do is what we feel is right for us...
For me I'm disabled, don't go far from home for any reason etc so even restricted travel is no big deal for me.. and I certainly don't go to sporting events, concerts or plays (which will likely be vaccinated only venues in the future)...
So basically there is no restriction they can threaten me with that will affect me in the least...
For those with other considerations they have more to take into account... I've read a story about a nurse whose job was threatened because she wanted to have children in the future and wanted to wait a little while to see what the side effects were for women of childbearing years before she jumped onto the vaccination bandwagon, since these vaccines haven't been studied to the degree others have - these are all brand new and rushed to market. For her though, she was willing to risk her employment because having healthy children in the future was that important to her...
So we all have to evaluate from where we are... it's a tough decision to be sure and governments aren't planning on making it easier. ...
