Needles And Me Don't Mix

When I was born in 1955, the practice was to get kids stuck as soon as possible for all types of illnesses and diseases. Polio was a big thing.So were chicken pox,measles,mumps, German measles - you name it, it was a popular sickness.

And here is where I come in.

I hate needles with a passion. I cried and fought every time I had to go to the doctor and get a vaccination.I have a very tender skin, and it didn't toughen up any over the years before I went to kindergarten, either.

Fast forward to 1970's. I found myself in need of a colostomy. No one told me I would need to get a shot before the procedure. I was in my hospital room,sound asleep, with my arms crossed over my chest. I didn't feel anyone pick up my arm, but I sure felt the long catlike scratch on the interior of my left arm - my GOOD arm! I sat up with a loud cry, grabbing my arm with my other hand and crying steadily. The scratch hurt steadily, turning a bright red.

Fast forward to present day. COVID-19 hits the world. The President, the Governors, and everyone else is jumping on the bandwagon to get shots.

I have not had any kind of shot since the colostomy, and I really don't WANT one.I have heard of people getting mild cases of COVIX19o after the shot, and I don't want one of those either.

There was a virus in some of the small pox vaccines given to our generation that was a retrovirus and has been linked to getting cancer. No telling what all the crap we’ve gotten including autoimmune illnesses due to some germ in those vaccines. I never had paraflu till I got vaccinated for the flu the first time in my mid-30’s, I didn’t realize it was linked to the flu vaccine and got 2 more later. I also developed rheumatoid arthritis during that time. I had a doctor later ask me if I’d had my flu vaccine yet and told him I wouldn’t be taking any more since I got paraflu every winter and it kept coming back several times leaving me fatigued all winter....he shook his head and said “I can’t take it either, it makes me have paraflu too”. WHY IN THE HELL DON”T THEY WARN ANYONE ABOUT THESE VACCINES BEFORE PUSHING THEM ON US?

@cherokeepatti They tell you about the "good stuff" ab9ut it and then reveal the "bad stuff" after you had it done.

@MaryJanine yep you can get your blood tested for a certain hepatitis too, probably too late to save our livers at this point if we got it from a vaccine.
