To want covid vaccine even though bf says I cant

[Trumanshow]

So my bf lives with his mum who is pretty old. Apparently her dr has said she shouldn't have the covid vaccine as it's not safe and no one who has had it can come into contact with her for 10 days. So my bf says Im not allowed to have it done. As far as I know the vaccine can't shed and if his mum is old (80s but otherwise healthy) she will be fine having the jab herself! She believes crystals heal....

I'm pretty well educated and they are starting to make me doubt myself, Im booked to have first dose tomorrow (my hometown has had a massive surge in cases) but I'm scared of the fallout if I do. AIBU just to go have it done even though he says I cant?

Just came across this thread. I hope by now you've had the jab and he's not your boyfriend anymore.

He's an arse and you can do better.

So what happens when your bf walks past recently vaccinated people in the street, the supermarket? Do their vaccinated skin cells, breath, shed hairs etc just slip off him so he doesn’t carry them back to mamma?

I think you have had some excellent advice, both about the vaccine and about your relationship. Please take both the vaccine and the advice.

He's spouting a load of shite pet. If that was the case how do health care workers manage with the vaccine. Have the vaccine and use the supposed 10 days he's told you to avoid them both to ditch the twat!

Go get your vaccine. Your body, your choice. He is talking nonsense.

Distance yourself from these sad little people.

WTAF!
@Trumanshow the people posting in this thread just saved your life twice over - "if" and "only if", you act on the advice you've been given.

Grab the jab and dump the dick.

Let us know how it goes.

Have the vaccine, if that’s your choice. He is training you to be under his control.

and he will be moving her in with you - good luck with that !

We're assuming that her "Dr" is her GP - but if she's into crystals and all that crap may this 'Dr" actually be a self proclaimed quack rather than a bonafide, medical degree holding, professional? I'm just struggling to believe that an actual doctor would spout such utter drivel.

So my bf says Im not allowed to have it done.

You do realise that it's not the 1700s don't you.

Your body, your call

& your BF is an ignorant dick anyway without the controlling behaviour. You really do deserve far better than this

At some point personal responsibility, as a grown adult with full faculties, comes into play.

Do you say that to all abuse victims? Women who've been raped?

At what point does their personal responsibility come into play, when they don't fight back?

He's a liar.

Get the vaccine and dump him.

I came to say this. Its not his decision to make.

You were considering breaking up with him last Christmas. I don't know why you haven't. He's a dickhead and his mum's not much better.

Have the vaccination.

The only 'shedding' you should do is getting well rid of your boyfriend

Tell him you had the vaccine and the vaccinator said you can't come into contact with any wankbadgers for the rest of the decade, so he will have to find someone else to bully and control.

Then heave a huge sigh of relief.

Thank you all...

Just had the jab!

You are lovely and reassured me I wasn't losing my mind! I know what they say is complete crap and I've talked before to lots of medical professionals, research scientists etc (friends I went to college and uni with plus doctors and nurses during a long stay in hospital earlier this year) so I thought what I was saying was accurate, just only so many arrows being thrown you can dodge before you doubt your own mind!

Well done

I would have the jab and ditch the boyfriend. He sounds controlling and has no right to dictate to you about decisions involving your health.

I know that GPS recommended that my sister not to have it, due to her auto immune disease which is linked to another illness. She ignored his advice and had it anyway. So I can imagine GPS saying to a select few, not to have it because of their comprised immunity. However its your body, so your choice. They cannot tell you what to do. If you want the vaccine, then you get it then tell them afterwards. If it means they don't want to see you for 10 days both times, then so be it. I'm not having the vaccine, but strongly believe in people's rights. It's your right to make choices that you believe in. If you allow someone that much control over your life, you're taking away you're free will and you will never be happy. You do you and they'll do them.

Hurrah@Trumanshow.
Enjoy your first 10 days without your stupid gobshite of a boyfriend. Then another 10. Then another.

@beautiful3 did your sister's GP also tell her that she shouldn't see anyone who's been vaccinated in case of shedding?

If so, she should change gp and report him. Because that's a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of how the vaccine works.

Just read your update and seen that you've had it done!

@Trumanshow

Yay. Well done op

She is trying to split you up....
Imo.

Well done @Trumanshow . He sounds pretty dreadful. Perhaps bin him?
