Thank you for what you did. It was brave.

I took the vaccine 2 times as soon as it was available and then on the third round I had a severe over reaction and was in the hospital for a few days with myocarditis.

I had family members face time me and say “ I told you it was dangerous, now look where you are “

I still encourage people to take the vaccine. I believe my over reaction was because I got the flu shot and covid vaccine in the same day.

I still have not had Covid. A few doctors have told me that if I were to get it I’d probably die because of how severe my reaction was to the vaccine. Each time I had it, I had severe pain in my left arm and weird sensations. Then the third time it got me.

I work for this lady sometimes who has long covid. She has trouble getting upstairs without taking a break. She refused to take the vaccine, still does, and still calls it a hoax. Not taking the vaccine is the biggest win in her life. At least that's what it feels like when she talks to me. And that is still pretty much the only thing she talks to me about.

You're right in your feelings

I'd be enraged

I wasn't part of the trials, but I was probably one of the first hundred or so people in my county vaccinated. I work in our 911 dispatch center and they were able to secure the vaccine for us and other essential first responder type roles, and I remember a lot of my doctor friends were still trying to figure out where they could get the vaccine at the time.

I worked nights at the time, went to the vaccine clinic after my shift. I remember they made us sit around for like 20 minutes to make sure we didn't have any kind of immediate adverse reaction, no one did and I went home and went to bed. I woke up feeling fine, then a couple hours later I had some fatigue and chills and I ended up crashing early. Woke up feeling fine, and the only side effect from subsequent doses was that my arm was sore for a few days.

I figure if I worked a normal day shift schedule, and still got the vaccine in the morning the side effects probably would have hit me about when I was going to sleep anyway and I would have slept through them.

Thank you for taking that risk so the rest of us could have something to safeguard against covid

And just so we are all clear: were there any noticeable side effects?
