Covid. Definitely. Lost my FIL to it and being immune compromised, I felt I was playing a dangerous game every time I came into close contact with others. Took me a very long time to be okay with getting the vaccine though solely because feeling physical sensations, something vaccines can hit you with, awakens panic attacks within me. It’s a hell right up there with Covid for me. But unlike Covid, I feel like I have a way better shot at kicking anxiety’s ass…and anxiety won’t kill me. Big plus there. My gut tells me I won’t survive a bout of Covid and I owe my husband, my kids, and myself the opportunity to live this life as long as I can, and for me getting the vaccine helps ease my mind about that. Even if I get infected after being vaccinated, I can be at peace knowing I did everything I could to prevent tragedy.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart I understand. My rheumatologist told me he didn’t think I would survive if I got Covid. I am vaccinated but the doctors don’t know how well my immune system will respond. I am so sorry for your loss too 💞.
PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
@iamonfire696 I think that’s the scariest part…it’s unpredictability for each of us. Stay safe out there. And thank you 🙏🏻

@PerfectionOfTheHeart you too girl. Stay safe 💞

I was vaccinated as were both my children, their spouses and their children. Not one of us experienced more than mild discomfort for a day or two with each dose. Most of us had the Phizer vaccine, some the Moderna. It has eased my mind and enabled us to enjoy getting together as a family much more than we were able to before the vaccinations.

i understand why you migth be scared to get the vaccine but i personally am more scared of getting covid which supposedly can have long term negative effects on your health. im not the type to want to hole up in my house so i get the vaccines when they are available. the reason tehy are pushing it so hard in th US is because they predict that if a certain percentage of teh population gets vaccinated it will go away. this is my hope too. its so miserable and everyones scared and many people are dying. my ex's grandma died from it before the vaccine came out. i am still alive so far. why would teh government wantto kill us? what would be the point of teh mask mandates and stuff if they were trying to hurt us? if there is a nano chip in it who cares? not that i think that would be likely lol. they say it doesnt hurt your reproductive health. there were som eissues with blood clots in th emoderna but the pfizer is supposed to be safer. i would trust the johnson and johnson too after hwat ive read about them. i dont know if those are available where you are. in any case i walk everyday. that is supposed to help prevent blood clots.
Confined · 56-60, M
@Candie Israel vaccinated all that could be vaxed. Their hospitals are FULL of vaxed covid patients. They are turning people away from the hospitals. The vaccine did not make covid go away. The USA will be in the same boat soon. Whats plan B when they find out nothing will change?
CestManan · 46-50, F
People forget that you may not even GET covid and even if you do, chances are you will survive and be just fine.
For me though, I am more afraid of a vaccine. I mean they crapped it out overnight.

@DeluxedEdition Makes you wonder what other catastrophe is in the works right now.
The fucking vaccine. I’d rather feel the breeze of a bullet wound in my skull before I die rather than the pain of the side effects of the vax.
Confined · 56-60, M
@chockaholic2020 I had my second shot sept 9. I am still having side effects. Both arms still sore. My entire left arm is sore. I have had frequent chest pains, legs are sore I feel like I weigh 1000 pounds. Lots of brain fog....to name a few.

@chockaholic2020 blood clotting, and the fact that the pharmaceutical companies don’t give a fuck about that. They’ll just mark your death off as Covid. But yeah. Carry on world. Like the AZ vaccine is the known clot shot.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
I live in Alberta and I will not get the vax. In my mind it is not a matter of fear because I don't fear either the disease or the vax. it is much more a matter of principle for me. I won't comply with any government that tries to force me to inject something into my body without solid scientific evidence of its safety and efficacy. I know the vax is not safe. I lost a brother in law to it. In fact almost everyone I know who has had the vax has had some weird effect from it. Death, blood clots, nerve damage, heart damage etc. I know it is not effective. If it were our case count would be approaching zero now since over 70% of the people are vaxed. According to public health theory herd immunity would be reached if 40% of the people were truly vaccinated. That the rates are going higher indicates the vax is potentially harmful and is leading to more infections not less. It is time that the 'governments' come clean and explain their true motives in this since it is very obvious that it is not about health.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Platinum Looking in the mirror again? Kind of sad really. The vax is 8 months old. How many years of testing for safety and efficacy can it have gone through. 14000 people in the US alone have died from the vax according to official sources. You really need to get out more. You are so misinformed it is tragic.

@Platinum Do you have any evidence from anywhere in the world that shows the vaxes work? I doubt it because it doesn't exist. I was looking at a couple of reports out of Israel today. Israel has a very high vax rate. Reports say that 80% are fully vaxed and many of those have taken the third jab. Their infection rate is 20%. 20% of the population HAS not had the infection. 20%. That has not been seen anywhere where the vax rates are low. In fact the infection rate in non vaxed places is less than 0.5% of the population. Maybe if you got your head out of Fauci's butt once in a while you would see the scam for what it is worth.
Platinum · M
I've had both and covid when you get it bad, it was the worst four weeks of my life....get vaccinated 99.9 per cent have no problems
twiigss · M
@Platinum Back on March 12th 2021, I had a sore throat, and knew I was getting a cold like I always do. Me, my brother and his gf went to a flea market, at 4 different buildings, so it was mostly all inside. On the following tuesday I was working as normal, standing and sweating. I thought that was kinda odd, didn't feel awful or anything.
I worked wednesday, still had cold like symptoms. Thursday I worked, came home, and it was cold in here at home. Put my jacket on, temperature said 74°F, felt like it was 64°F. So I called into work on Friday morning, and took up the offer HR gave, to get a test for covid.
Test came back positive, apparently at the time it was the PCR test which can't distinguish between flu or covid according to information I've read regarding the now revoked test. My symptoms at the time following for the next 2 to 3 weeks were the following:
● Coughing
● Congestion
● Tiredness
● Loss of appetitite
Now the loss of appetite got bad, also one thing I noticed specifically, I had this scent of rubber in my nose for 3 or 4 weeks, and then that went away. But, I keep asking, did I have flu, or covid?
I didn't have any of the covid symptoms, loss of smell or taste, sore muscles, none of that. My opinion? I had flu.

curiosi · 61-69, F
The flu comes around every year and if not for the media hyping it up it wouldn't even be a blip on the radar. The vax is pure poison and only a fool would trust the government.
Zeusdelight · 61-69, M
@curiosi The flu, only a couple of thousand die of it on average in Australia each year. No worries unless you are one of them.
4meAndyou · F
I was more afraid of getting covid, so I got vaccinated. There do not appear to be any side effects whatsoever.
You should be aware that the vaccine will not prevent you from getting covid, but IF you get the covid19 variant, the illness will be very mild.
You can be vaccinated and still become very ill with the Delta variant.

AbbySvenz · F
If only there were some sort of vaccine that would decrease your chances of catching the virus, or lessening it’s effects, if you did that you could talk to your doctor about for an informed opinion, rather than buying into crockpot conspiracy theories on the Internet 🤔
Magenta · F
The vaccine. Never will I.
Nebula · 41-45, F
I just had covid, it's way hyped up. I'm terrified of the vaccine. I'm one that would have a bad reaction to it because me and medications don't work well
stratosranger · M
If you had Covid recently then you have no need for the vaccine. @Nebula
Nebula · 41-45, F
@stratosranger natural immunity!
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
Try not to live in fear of either one.
If you contract Covid-19 your chance of survival is very good especially at your age.
The vaccines are safe and effective, with 5.8 billion doses given worldwide
My personal recommendation and what I practice:
Get vaccinated
Avoid indoor crowds and public transportation as much as possible
Eat healthy
Take supplemental vitamins C, D and Zinc
Enjoy life and living

I've already had Covid, so no fear there.
No intention of taking the vaccine so I'm not afraid of it either.

I got the vaccine.
I’m vaccinated and everyone in my family and friends are vaccinated. Your life your call...but my advice to you would be to get vaccinated so that your chances of survival are higher, in case you ever contract the virus.
natureboy3 · 18-21, M
I've had my first vaccine, little nervous incase of any potential future side effects though. But I'd rather that than potentially get the virus and give it to others, possibly causing deaths
Fertilization · 36-40, F
Death is not scary.
Fertilization · 36-40, F
@Zeusdelight No, not really.
But seeing your loved ones die before your eyes make you sort of brave, I guess.

Zeusdelight · 61-69, M
@Fertilization I am sorry for your losses. It does raise your awareness, but having a knife piercing your chest but not penetrating raises your mortality a little more, in my view, at a guess. And I certainly was scared.
I suppose, seeing a loved one die is pretty horrible, as I have experienced, however, it wasn't as meaningful to me as my own brush. I do fear death.

The chances of dying of COVID are wayyyy higher than any adverse reaction to the vaccine!
The provinces with high vaccination rates are not suffering through a fourth wave. ICU beds are taken by people with other problems who need them not from COVID patients whom 2/3 of which are unvaccinated.

InOtterWords · F
Covid. I am vaccinated.
Did you know that in the UK, between January and July...so when the vaccine was starting to be rolled out, 99.5% of the deaths have been in unvaccinated people, and of those that died that were vaccinated, the average age is 84.
The best thing though, if you are divided, is to speak to a medical professional than to people here.

twiigss · M
@InOtterWords as much as I'd rather not get the vaccine, there are two relatives who got it and are perfectly fine as far as I know. So next Friday I'm going to set up an appointment to talk to my doctor just to get information and see what she thinks regarding where I'm at health wise, and what her opinion is on me getting it.
InOtterWords · F
@twiigss it really is the best thing. Your doctor will know your medical history and can best advise you, at least you are getting an informed choice.
twiigss · M
@InOtterWords yea, no one is going to push me into doing something they think I should do. So I'll go to where I feel is the right place for information and etc.

i got the covid vaccine like every other, i get the flu shot every year, i got vaccinated for chicken pox, & HPV, & others... still afraid of getting covid but it seems inevitable at this point, just a matter of time.

I’m more likely to get shot in the head than Covid coming anywhere near me lol.

I had covid 19 in March 2020. I thought I was going to die I was so sick.
It took a month for me to feel better.
So when the vaccines came I couldn't wait to get it! The side effects were nothing compared to the real thing.
If you've ever had the flu shot then don't be afraid to get the vaccines. Better to have a mild sore arm than to end up in the hospital hooked up to a respirator or dead.

Much more afraid of Covid. One of my sisters almost died from it last year and she has fewer health issues than I do. A cousin did die from it. I was vaccinated with no serious side effects.

Fear isn't involved. The covid disease is more risky than the vaccine. Fear is for good dogs.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Stopmakingsense Exactly which is why we should have never used them in the first place. There was virtually no testing done and any testing that was done was later contaminated. Not a wise thing to do.
Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
@hippyjoe1955 I think the unwillingness to honestly quantify risks means you're not coherent and you're never to be trusted. Like the US mainstream.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Stopmakingsense I agree. If the stuff was tested fully and shown to be both safe and effective I have no problem with it. Sadly that has not been done and it is likely there will be long term effects that will prove to be more dangerous than the disease they were meant to prevent. There is strong statistical evidence that for certain age groups the vax is more dangerous than the disease but still the vax keeps getting pushed. Very very strange behavior.
TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M
I’ve had both vaccines and have never been worried about getting Covid.
I’m more concerned about the British presses determination to keep the scare stories going and engineer another lockdown

BTW, on a different note, I seem to remember your name from way back when but then didn't see it for a while. Not sure if you had blocked me then unblocked or if we just never crossed paths.
Either way, it is good to make your acquaintance :D
