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?

Yep I agree - stay away for 10 days and then make that permanent!

@Trumanshow

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 thats half the job done. Now ditch the BF and his mother!

Please ditch this manchild. At 43 living at home and listening to what mammy tells him to do and believing such crap - he's pathetic.

Have the vaccine - it reduces the risk of covid and (in this case) of contact with people who are also really bad for your health.

Wishing you a happy covid/fool-free life ahead.

Really glad to read you had it. You might feel rubbish for forty eight hours but it's so so worth it.

Also adding to the get rid of your horrible boyfriend, chorus. Seriously.

really pleased to hear you had it. Please now stay away from him for a minimum of 10 days and dump him in the meantime.

A doctor may say she cant have it for many reasons (blood issue, allergies etc...) that you might not know of but theres no way a doctor would say no one else can have it.

Get your vaccine.

But why are you still with someone who is a) obviously stupid, b) a liar, and c) a cheat?

Thank goodness OP! Personally I hope you stay away from him for good.

People who believe in 'covid shedding' get their news from thick Facebook minion memes.

I would dump a boyfriend for telling me I couldn't eat a food, put on a pair of shoes or watch a TV show, let alone one that tried to control my medical life. The moment the words are out of the mouth, point him to the door.

Tell him you have had the jab and an unfortunate side effect is you can now see through B.S so you will have to dump him!

Wow, dump that loser for your own good.

Glad to hear you had your jab .

(And if you do get a few side effects like feeling off for a day or two - this is normal !!)

Perhaps it's time to start looking for a new boyfriend now. Or at least distance yourself from this one.

Well done OP 🌸

Bloody well done 👍

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

Rape and relationship abuse are not the same.

I'm speaking as a victim of abuse, and I agree with AnyFucker.
The OP isn't tied to the abuser in her life in any way, shape or form. There is something in her own mind and heart preventing her from kicking him to the curb. She needs to address the problem.

Well done OP. Take care of yourself.

I've also broke up with him.

I cried a lot and it's hard, but thank you all for making me see sense. The vaccine stuff really was the final straw. I have zero self esteem but I really appreciate you all giving me nice words and advice!

Well done for taking control of your own healthcare. Don’t let this man dictate to you about whether to have a vaccine.
He had an alterior motive here to use you for his antivax agenda. It is not a live culture.
Enjoy the 10days of peace and tranquility

Aw posted too soon.
You’re a brave person for standing up for yourself. A break up isn’t easy but you’ll come out a strong person

So proud of you OP!! Go live your life!

Not RTFT .... excuse me? You can't? Yes you bloody well can, and you do not need his permission.

My very first LTB things are only going to get worse.

Not only is he batshit vaccine does not shed but he is controlling to boot, please please get out OP

They are making it clear they are anti vaxers and possibly fallen down a rabbit hole of beliefs.

One being the inject you with COVID to spread around so the government can continue to control from us all through lockdowns.

I'd be having my jab and not seeing either of them for 10 years!

Although with flu jab if you have live nasal spray vaccine you cannot go near immunity suppressed people for 2 days as there is a slight risk.

Apologies OP just read your updates, fantastic news! I know it doesn't feel like it now but you have really dodged a bullet

No partner should ever tell you 'can't' do something when it comes to your body and health. Do what you want to do!
