To want covid vaccine even though bf says I cant

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?

It’s not a live virus vaccine. You can’t pass on the virus
That is true of some (maybe polio I think?) and can be risky for peo
ple with very low immune systems - but absolutely not the case here

Yes polio is one of these. I remember taking my little cousin to get her polio vaccine when I was about 16 (long story... and how this was allowed I don't know). The nurse asked if I had had my polio booster. she said that if I wasn't fully immunized I mustn't change the baby's nappies for a certain number of days because of it being a live vaccine.

But the COVID vaccine is not live!

I've just read your other posts about him and about your self esteem.
You're worth far more than this!

To be fair weren't there a few old and very ill people in Sweden who were vaccinated and then the side effects killed them? They were very ill so unless the BF's mum is also very ill I don't think that her doctor would say that she can't have the vaccine.

The vaccine doesn't jump from person to person so the BF is telling at least one porkie.

He is quack.
He is controlling.
He is 43 and lives with his mum.
He repeatedly cheats on you (!)

Not worth it for you! Time to end it IMO.

I've just read your thread from November.
Sorry, I initially thought this might be a troll post trying to stir up some anti-vax discussion.
I remember commenting on your November thread under a different username.
Your bf is an absolute prize prick and waster.
He is a useless dad and he's cheated on you.
He's controlling and wants to tell you what you can and can't do with your body regarding healthcare decisions.

Use this as an opportunity to get rid of this fucker. He's not making you happy anyway. He sleeps all the time when he isn't working and brings absolutely nothing to the relationship.

Bin him now so you're not on here in another 6 months needing advice on the next issue with him. Get him gone.

WHO are the 2pc who voted YABU?

Bet they've "done their own research" and "understand what the medical establishment are hiding from us, unlike you sheeple"

SIGH

DarceyDashwood · 19/06/2021 08:27

He sounds thick, unpleasant and controlling. Dump him and get your jab.

Cc0medy5 · 19/06/2021 08:32

Shed the BF
Get the vaccine
Get new BF

Positivelypatient · 19/06/2021 08:34

Have the jab and ditch that prick!

Naunet · 19/06/2021 08:36

OP, can I ask, do you enjoy being controlled? I can’t imagine even for a second, thinking a boyfriend would get any say as to if I had the vaccine or not.

Bryonyshcmyony · 19/06/2021 08:36

You aren't going out with my dbro are you?! Really similar set up. If you are, walk away now!!

Bluntness100 · 19/06/2021 08:36

Op how old are you? Do you understand why you’re choosing to be with some lying cheating loser?

StevieNix · 19/06/2021 08:37

Yabu- but only for being with this manipulative controlling arsehole. He has no say over you and is trying to push his anti-vax agenda onto you.

DGFB · 19/06/2021 08:38

Get the vaccine
Leave the boyfriend
We’re behind you OP, you can do this

AnyFucker · 19/06/2021 08:40

You just can’t help some people Confused

butterpuffed · 19/06/2021 08:45

I find it quite worrying that you're saying 'my bf says I can't have the vaccine'.

Do you normally do what he says to keep the peace ? It's time to believe in yourself, trust your own opinions and get rid of the dead wood [the bf].

TicTac80 · 19/06/2021 08:49

Tell him to GTF!! And please go get the vaccine!

Shoxfordian · 19/06/2021 08:49

Dump the loser op

GintyMcGinty · 19/06/2021 08:49

He is lying to her and lying to you.

Get your vaccine and get rid of the boyfriend.

everybodysang · 19/06/2021 08:50

@kittie01

My doctor is no longer giving it out so perhaps the doctor is telling the truth. Some people are advised against getting it. Yabu listening ti him telling you what to do but you should stay away for a period of time due to shedding
WTF are you talking about? Which vaccine is your doctor not giving out? Why? It doesn't shed so that part of your post is bullshit - is it possible the rest of your post is too?
FindingMeno · 19/06/2021 08:51

Go and be vaccinated and dump the bf.
His attempt to stop you making your own choices is a red flag.
Sorry op, but you are worth more Flowers

rainbowstardrops · 19/06/2021 08:51

Nobody tells me what I can and can't do and certainly not an idiotic cheating scumbag!
Have the jab and ditch the prick.

listsandbudgets · 19/06/2021 08:55

Well if her GP is right and no one who's jad it should come near her for 10 days because she's old , then hes just exposed a government plot to kill off every care home resident in the country by making their carers have it. Your bf should be on international news and reporting this dastardly plot to the UN.

Chewbecca · 19/06/2021 08:56

Get the vaccine, dump the BF.

Flibbitygibbit · 19/06/2021 08:57

Loughborough? Get the vaccine. He’s lying !
