Here's my dilemma. I am a hypochondriac. I try to deal in statistics when I try to rationalize with myself. But the people who make those commercials are.. cruel but clever. They have switched from "please help others" to "this is what will happen to you." Its what put an insurmountable amount of fear in me is when they began to do that. Throwing death rates everywhere for covid. Saying if you don't get it you'll die. Basically a nightmare for people like me with intense anxiety. They just about have me.
I've done some of my own research about it. Looked into the studies of complications after the fact, even down to the 1 complication or few complications of a vaccine. Including things like myocardial, the heart inflammation thing with moderna. As well as blood clotting issues with J&J. It seems like there's a really really low chance of that happening to me. I looked at the maps.. millions upon millions of people have gotten the vaccine. All over the world. And these studies, maybe 1000 or so had things happen adversely that aren't very minor. It's hard living in Alabama(aka republican ville) as well as a grandma that thinks its a microchip and a mom who is also slowly being turned against it. I admit it, I don't like how much they're pushing it either. I don't like how new this vaccine it. I don't like the unknown. But I do know that the people around me don't care. I don't wanna take that large risk of getting hospitalized. I'd rather cross my fingers for nothing to happen after I get the vaccine. As well as get the pfizer, since I may need a booster for it anyway. I don't know. Still doing research.
But I'm inclined to. It's been a week since I was tested and I don't know if I have it. Still anxious about it. I don't know if the shortness of breath is anxiety or that. But I'm inclined to get the vaccine. Never thought I'd say that being in my family but I have to keep myself and others safe.
I just had to share this incase anyone else had doubts about it. I do too. But I have to think in statistics.
