I'm too scared to have vaccine I'm in my late twenties no health conditions but my family are fuming with me for resisting, anyone had Pfizer jab an been fine?
I will start by declaring I am pro vaccine.
When this pandemic started and they were working on a vaccine, I didn’t think I would have it.
My reasons? A friend of a friend in her 20s had the swine flu vaccine years ago. They ended up with narcolepsy. Obviously they could no longer work or drive. Eventually they committed suicide because they had no quality of life.
I was concerned that this, or something similar, could happen again with this vaccine.
However, after weighing up the pro’s and cons, I have had my vaccine. I saw what Covid did to people and that if we didn’t vaccinate that it could go on and on.
I am in my 50s and decided it was a risk I was willing to take with regards to the possible long term side effects.
My children are in their 20s. I have not pushed my views on them, it is their bodies, their lives so they must make that decision for themselves. One has had theirs, the other is having theirs this week. Their choice.
I think it is wrong of your family to be angry with you.
I do wonder if it’s an age thing.
Had I been in my 20s I may well not have been vaccinated because I’d have my whole life ahead of me. A big part of me wishes my children didn’t have it in case there are long term effects but it wasn’t my decision to make.
