Everyone has different opinions and feelings regarding the vaccines.
I was a little nervous and I'm all for every type of vaccine. I think from reading on here stressed me a little.
When I got my 1st dose I felt no different, still don't, actually I forget I have had it. I'm due my 2nd dose in 2 weeks and I feel much more relaxed about it.
I think when I watched live footage in India where families were punching hospital staff to save their loved ones from dying and the staff hiding in cupboards and people sitting in cars robbing oxygen tanks to help them breath that I suddenly realised that I could never go through that.
I believe covid is real, the amount of friends and family that have had it is so upsetting. My good friend died last year. She was young, in her 30s, young children, she was fit and healthy, decent weight, no drink or smoke, no underlying conditions. When I saw her young children scream as she was lowered into the ground I thought fuck, anyone can get this and either be bad or die. I know it was early days and not much was known about it but you must realise that people have and still are dying from this. Not everyone has underlying conditions, one of my sil has long covid, nearly a year later and she's nearly bald, she uses an inhaler now, she constantly get lung and chest infections, her memory is so bad that she writes everything down. Her kidneys are now been checked out as there has been a lot of damage to them, she is a personal trainer she never ended up in hospital, she was sick for 2 weeks and she kept saying it was like flu.
There's so many different stories that it really opens my eyes. They've trialled these vaccines and yes even I get a bit worried if they were trialled enough but if it means that I get covid and don't suffer and die then that's a huge bonus.
