It seems not to be the wise thing at the moment to declare you are NOT having the vaccine, unless to close friends and family.
It also seems like most of mumsnet are in favour of the vaccine but in real life, for me anyway, it’s not the case. Sure grandparents and those over 50s have had it that I know (and some in the 50s age bracket that have regretted it) But out of my close friends and cousins we are not having it.
Various reasons but main ones are for blood clots from any of the 3 main vaccines not just AZ, that it could accelerate the development of cancers or other health issues that are just starting in your body that you do not yet know about, worries about infertility. Myself and some friends have been on the contraceptive pill for 10 years plus and although have so far not had any side effects or issues with blood clotting do we know for certain that contraceptive pill plus a vaccine that DOES indeed cause blood clots in some, is a safe combination?
For all those saying contraceptive pill increases blood clots but i take that. Yes i do as i have been on it for over 10 years and I believe I would have had some blood clot problems by now. I don’t and have never had any side effects at all. It is also a huge benefit for me and preferred over methods like the coil etc. For me it works and is literally a life changer, as I do not want to have any more children.
Is the vaccine such a life changer for me?? Is it worth taking a risk with my life? Leaving my 2 young children without a mother? For what? Covid which for a healthy 30 something year old is going to be no more than a flu at WORST?
What is the gain? Even for holidays those vaccinated are having to jump through as many hoops as those not. You can still spread it to others, you can still get it. So for a 30 year old you will go from flu symptoms to a few days of a cold? OK... We’ve never questioned when we’ve had actual flu or strep throat or tonsillitis which is horrendous for me lasting up to 2 weeks.
I had covid last year pre any vaccines. It was a very bad cold. I have had worse tonsillitis - now that’s bad. I catch everything from my nursery/ school age kids- I’ve had it all, and some awful viruses. I got through them all covid is just ‘another virus’
From recent news it doesn’t send many 30 year olds into zombies neither does it hospitalise them on ventilators . I know how my body handles covid. I have NO idea what will happen after the vaccine. I may even have no side effects just a sore arm and post on here later that it was all fine and everyone else refusing it is selfish and an idiot! I wouldn’t be so sure of myself 6 months down the line, or a year, when there is a sudden uprise in cancers or other disease...
This isn’t just about having 1 vaccine. It isn’t just 1 and you have life long immunity. No, it’s 3 vaccines at least this year... so for most of us that will be 3 vaccines in the space of 6 months... plus a flu jab... that’s 4. And back to more vaccinations early next year to combat the ‘’new variants’’.
That simply cannot be healthy on anyone at all. A healthy under 40s person does NOT ever need that! Invest in some good quality vitamins like Solgar/ Viridian, do a full blood test to see if you are as fully healthy as you believe, wash your hands regularly wear your mask and SD when possible.
Oh and those saying what do we normal people know, we are not doctors. Doctors are only telling us what the government has instructed them to say. A few maybe in hushed voices may privately advise to wait or not get the vaccine at all. But what happens then, they lose their license and get struck off, lose their career. No ones going to risk that. Plus themselves have no idea what is really in those vaccines. Of course they will have natural reservations, doctors are only human after a rushed out emergency use vaccine. But they will adhere to the script the government has given them.
