Anyone else regretting their choice to get vaccinated?

[onthetracks]

I had my first vaccine 4 weeks ago (AZ)
I was really put off my having it and didn’t feel 100% happy, but since I’m clinically vulnerable to Covid and I also look after my elderly grandmother who is Clinically extremely l vulnerable, i thought it was the right thing to do.

Since having the vaccine I read no end of negative reports, side effects, blood clots and now deaths.

I’m terrified that I’m going to develop a blood clot and die.

I know this may sound irrational, which is surprising for me as I’m usually able to rationalise things.
But I can’t help feeling that it’s all been a bit rushed.
We’re all so desperate for normal life that we’ve jumped at the chance to be injected with something that we don’t actually know is safe.

Only now that millions of people are having the vaccine are we being alerted to adverse effects.

I’m really starting to regret that I’ve had the vaccine and I honestly don’t think I will go for my 2nd jab. 😣

@partyatthepalace
I’m not blindly injecting something into myself to get out of a ‘global crisis’ don’t care how selfish that makes me.
If someone told you to chop off your finger tomorrow because then you could live a normal life and so could everyone else, would you?
It’s my body and I will damn well choose what medication goes into it.
By having this jab you are creating an irriversable change to your body. Hopefully (and most probably) for the better but if someone has an element of doubt about that, it’s absolutely their right to refuse

An irreversible change to your body? 😂😂😂

Oh bless you...

They are also not asking us to chop off a finger are they though you complete and utter melon

@YoshimisMum

I don’t agree. The long term knock on from this pandemic are horrendous - we will be feeling it for generations - economically, socially, and in healthcare. Along with brexit and the current collapse of the Labour Party it will set social mobility back dramatically and increase the already enormous wealth gap in this country. We need to get out of it as fast as humanly possible.

Expressing a strong opinion isn’t bullying or patronising - it’s expressing a strong opinion. I run a business and I employ people who I do not want to make redundant and I find the short term thinking around this breathtaking and terrifying - and it gets far far too much oxygen on sm.

I’d never engage anyone in debate who didn’t want to - but I will tell people when I think they are being shortsighted and idiotic.

In terms of putting people off - it won’t - half the country still needs to be vaccinated, by the time that’s done, everybody but the hardcore refuseniks will have it - partly because everyone will be more worried about recession by then - and partly because vaccine passports will make life difficult if you don’t.

@Whatisthisfuckery

I feel exactly how you feel OP, with the only exception being I’m not scared of getting a blood clot and dying. I think if that was going to happen it would have by now. I’m definitely reluctant to have the second jab though.

Yes it has been rushed, we don’t really know the long or even medium term effects of the vaccines and I very much doubt we are being told the truth about what is known. Like you I felt coerced into having the vaccine and even when I was sitting in the chair waiting for the needle to go in I wanted to walk away. The only reason I actually went through with it was because I felt forced to, and honestly, had I not felt so coerced I would have been happier to get it.

Think very carefully about having the second jab and if you don’t want it, don’t let anybody bully you into it. If you are young and healthy your chances of covid seriously harming or killing you are absolutely tiny anyway, and even with the vaccine you could still pass it on if your court it, so go with your gut when it comes to the second jab and don’t let anyone push you into it if you don’t want it.

It's not been "rushed" . Stop scaremongering. Ffs

😂😂

@onthetracks....you coming back OP????? Thought NOT

@Quit4me -

I think TJ17 has covered it, but the finger is genius analogy, for sure...

@TJ17

An irreversible change to your body? 😂😂😂

Oh bless you...

You don’t think there is an irreversible change in your body once you have had the jab??

Oh bless you

I’ve had a brain bleed in my medical history and lung clots - I’ve had the AZ as the risk of a clot with covid was higher for me.
The medical trained staff in the vaccine centre discussed it with me and mentioned if I was to get a headache and it lasted more than 4 days and if suffered from a specific kind of headache then contact Gp etc
I’ve been fine and for me relived I’ve had it but it’s choice and no one should be forced if they’ve read all the medical information (not Google) and spoke to their own GP to discuss any fears.
I already live in fear of having another bleed (before I had the vaccine) but having the jab hasn’t increased that natural worry :)

@Marmaladeagain

No I don't regret it and looking forward to next dose in two weeks.

Read upon the risks of blood clots caused by catching Covid - it causes vascular complications.

My brother in law had a blood clot after he caught Covid. He has also had the AZ vaccine and no clot.

@pinkearedcow the UK started vaccinating with 800 000 Pfizer jabs in the first week of December. Then continued on with Pfizer throughout December this included front line NHS and care home workers.

No I know they arnt actually asking to chop off a finger ffs but thank you for being such a rude twat. I was being dramatic to make the point that some people seeming would follow anything they were told blindly and if anyone does not do exactly the same they are selfish

I don't think we would all have our fingers chopped off though though so that's why your point is ridiculous 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

A vaccine yes because they are designed to protect us...

If I developed gangrene in my finger and needed it removed to survive...then yes, yes I would certainly have it removed medically...

Also not necessarily just selfish but you forgot stupid also

I'm not saying which vaccine I had but I've felt poorly for the month since I had it with headaches, rashes, nausea, aches and pains that weren't there before.

I'm assuming you'd also refuse all other medical treatment? as you don't know what's in any of that either???

Could be anything dusty, maybe go see your GP who is medically trained.

Erm - no. There were 786,000 Pfizer jabs given between 8th December and 27th December, with 524,000 of those going to the over 80s.

@GoLightlyontheEarth

If it is considered as safe as we are told it is, why won’t the govt accept liability for vaccine damage in the future? That worries me a lot.

How can they possibly accept liability for something that’s not happened? Liability occurs when someone already knows about a risk in a situation but still goes ahead - either by covering up or minimising the risk. The people who then go on to suffer side effects as a direct result can sue for neglect. An example would be giving blood transfusions to people with haemophilia knowing the blood may be infected with HIV. As others have already said, there is no proven link between the vaccine and clotting issues. The rate of people dying from clotting issues hasn’t gone up, in fact it’s lower than usual. You are massively more at increased of risk of dying from clotting issues if you get Covid.

Sorry - those were the England stats.

You don’t know how vaccines work, do you?
Imagine you have a headache and take a paracetamol. Do you think that’s going to have an irreversible change to your body?
You’re right, you can reduce to have the vaccine. Don’t moan if you then can’t fly, visit public events, carry out certain jobs. Because I can see that coming a mile off.

@dustydaffs please read my earlier post and seek medical attention

Isn't it something like 18 cases out of 30,000,000 vaccinations?

That's an infinitesimally small risk.

You probably do things all the time with higher risks than that.

You do realise that pretty much everything comes with possible side effects?

If I told you there was a drug that if you accidentally took slightly too much would lead to acute liver damage, in fact 20% of liver transplants were due to people unintentionally taking too much without realising it, would you take it?
If I told you that drug was paracetamol does that make any difference?
All drugs have side effects, ALL drugs carry the possibility of adverse reactions leading to death.
I think more people will have died falling down thier stairs this year than taking the vaccine but you aren’t rushing out to live in a bungalow!!
