There’s a huge amount of judgement flying around here.
I thought this board was created to get away from the name calling and create more compassion.
Today in the butchers (between customers and the butchers themselves) I heard about of 3 people who had died as a result from taking the vaccine (two of those had pre-existing conditions).
I hear similar stories from a few people I know in the medical world.
And you have to realise that there will be many more having died or suffered from side effects that are deliberately not being publicised in the press. But that doesn’t mean they’re not happening.
And that means families are deeply impacted and people are hurting.
So how can you judge people who may have previously had bad reactions to vaccines, who have existing autoimmune issues and other complications. Or indeed friends and family of those that have had bad side effects?
Some people are living in fear and are very afraid.
I’m not sure belittling them is a healthy approach to the situation, just because they won’t comply.
People make decisions based on previous experiences and the level of understanding, education and awareness they have.
On the flip side, you’ve got people who are not afraid.
People who spend hours and hours each day putting time and effort into creating a healthy, trim, fit body.
They eat brilliantly. They work out. They sleep well. They don’t regularly drink beer or eat sweets and crisps..
Consequently their immune systems are about as rock solid as you can get.
So it’s no surprise that with the immune system they’ve worked tirelessly to create they’re getting peeved off by fat, overweight, unhealthy people criticising them for not wanting to put a foreign entity into their rather pure bodies.
So I can understand where they’re coming from.
If we all had the bodies they had worked hard to create...we wouldn’t be in this situation and society would be much healthier.
(Madness that in lockdown gyms and park runs were shut down and fast food restaurants and off licenses were kept open....how is that healthcare?)
All I’m saying is that there’s a human story behind everyone’s viewpoint.
I’ve suffered with ME and autoimmune issues for the past 18 years and I’ve worked tirelessly to reverse it all. In April I started feeling properly human again for the first time in 6 years (most of which I’ve been housebound for).
I then had my vaccination and I haven’t felt the same since.
Trust me...I’m worried. I don’t want to go back to the dark place I’ve just worked so, so hard to escape from.
The simple thing is we simply don’t know how our bodies are going to react, especially for people with autoimmune issues, as yet another foreign entity can create a bit of an internal storm.
Obviously for the majority of people - life will be fine and dandy.
And let’s hope they’re won’t be any issues further down the line (for which we have no evidence yet).
But rather than judge those that either decline the vaccine or spend time pondering over it, why not display a bit of compassion...and understand that there’s a human story behind each person you’re currently calling a moron.
