this is why i’m afraid to get the vaccine now tbh (my dad is anti-vaxx so while i was in his care during quarantine i never got it). i’m hearing ppl have horrible reactions and long term pain from it (which i do also know comes from covid). i have had covid before and im super careful when it comes to it. i’ve literally left college to go home and quarantine. i’m really conflicted tbh
on the other end of the spectrum, when i got the vaccine i didn’t even realize i got poked. i looked over at the nurse and asked something like “how’s it going over there?” (as in, are you ready) and she was like “oh it’s already done.” she gave me a bandaid and sent me on my way. i literally didn’t feel a thing, and no side effects afterwards either
oh yeah i’m def not worried about the actual shot, i have no fear around needles. i’m just worried about the side effects afterwards, unfortunately i know a lot of people who have had some and even still have effects to this day and it’s also scary ofc bc we don’t actually know how any of this effects us long term. i’ve been in limbo for a while trying to weigh the risks for both
sorry, i’m not sure i was super clear on what i meant 😅 i was sort of trying to imply that the after affects for me were just like the shot itself. seemingly nonexistent. i didn’t even feel sore… of course, because i worked in a senior home at the time, i probably ended up with an early version of the vaccine, so maybe that makes a difference idk
