First post ever but I just have to say something is not right with the vaccine, asthma is not a ‘serious lung condition’ and even if it was the order of vaccination was not at shielders when she got hers. She is not clinically extremely vulnerable so she should be getting the vaccine in possibly April, my mum has COPD and my dad is a shielder with various serious conditions and they haven’t been vaccinated. Don’t fool yourselves believing that money has no influence here, it does. There will be private practices offering spare doses to whoever is willing to pay. I’m disgusted by it I really am, I’m a front line worker and have colleagues who haven’t been vaccinated yet and Claire has for her ‘serious lung condition’ it is disgraceful.
First time poster here. You might not like her and whatever (i really dont care about her or any time of blogger) but saying that asthma is not a serious lung condition is just dumb. Theres several degrees to asthma. I have it and was forced to leave my bith country and move cause the hospitals there are not the best and I kept almost dying every single month because my lungs would stop. I must live next to a hospital at all times in case one day my lungs decide to spot. I have taken steroids and everything out there and my lungs just suck. I take the sos medicine at least once a week. I cannot work out like everyone else, i have to take my ventilan before and after a workout, and because i cant take it all the time my exercise is limited. I have to think before I run to not miss the bus. I almost died several times in my life because of my asthma. I have two family members that died of asthma. DIED. and im only in my twenties.
My sister also has it, but hers is pretty much unnoticeable. She lives life normally.
So asthma CAN BE a life threatening condition. and most time it is.
I havent left my house since last march because if i get covid im dead. Im not going to school currently so im missing a year. I have order groceries. My mental health is crumbling because i only live home once a week for 30m to catch some air.
Point is, dont judge someones life condition, you dont know how bad her lungs are. She is always out of breath. I have and I recognize so much of me the way she speaks and just loses breath from speaking.
While i dont follow her that much and really dont care its not right to make assumptions about someone health if you dont have the whole picture.
I havent been vaccinated because my country has a massive delay but im going to be part of the second wave of vaccines. I wasn’t on first because it was for medical professionals and elderly at homes and things like that but I will be vaccinated in front of 50 year olds and one of the first in my family. And im not bribing anyone. This is how it works. IF you doctor that knows your condition wells considers you at a risk, you will be vaccinated soon.
Criticize all you want about her, but dont talk about other peoples illness you know absolutely nothing about.
Im only her to show you the other side of the coin, the one where people die because their lungs gave up.
