If you didn't see my post about this a few months ago, here it is.
What happened after that incident is that the day after, mom said she had to go to New York because my stepdad needs surgery up there, so basically nothing happened, because i had to stay with my little brother for a month and take him to school, but mom and stepdad came back on the 15th, and they said nothing about the booster until a few days ago, after the news started pushing this Omicron or whatever bullshit variant this is. Right now, I'm not in a position to where i can do what i did and literally refuse to take the booster, because she wants to be in the doctor's office with me as they inject me, and I'm really fucking worried that I'm gonna get heart problems. i had to get vaxxed back in February, but now, I'm just really fucking worried. I'm gonna document things for the next two weeks and keep y'all posted, and hopefully nothing happens.
There is an elevated risk associated with getting the vaccine. That said, the booster is still very unlikely to harm you, especially if the initial shots didn't.
But that doesn't mean you should get it. If you are young and healthy and have a reasonably intact immune system, Covid poses no threat to you. Even if you got it, your symptoms would likely be so mild that the risk of transmitting would be very low. You don't pass on viruses just by breathing on people: you pass them on by coughing and sneezing and not washing your hands. If you're not doing any of those things, you're unlikely to be contagious.
If the only good reason for you to get the vaccine is because of what they're gonna do to you if you don't get the vaccine, then the decision you're making is not a medical decision.
What's important here is your right to decide what you put in your own body, and the question you have to honestly answer is: How much are you willing to give up before you surrender that right?
My biggest issue is money. I don't have enough money saved up to live by myself for more than 3 months, that's assuming i live either with friends or find a cheap apartment, but i'm trying. publix said they ran out and gotta get more, so time was bought for me for another two hours before i need to make a big decision.
Once again: you know what the risks are that are associated with your decision. If by choosing to retain your right to bodily autonomy and to make your own medical decisions, you are risking the possibility of homelessness, then you have to decide what is more important to you: your home, or your right to decide not to be injected with shit if you don't want to.
It's absolutely outrageous that anyone should be forced to make that decision, and it's not fair, but there it is. I honestly wouldn't judge you either way. It's not a call anyone else can make for you.
It's not, and I thought I had my mom too, as Publix asks on the immunization form which vaccine you want to take, and I'm due for my flu vax anyway, so I picked that and only that, and thought my mom wouldn't notice, and she didn't, until she went to get her reading glasses and saw it, so fuck.
The reason I got even more worried now is because the personal trainer i got at the gym (mainly to help me with dietary stuff) got me on protein and a multivitamin, and i'm (probably irrationally) thinking those are going to make me more likely to get myocarditis.
Bro, you're not a kid anymore. You're not doing yourself any favors by trying to avoid conflict through obfuscation. The one piece of solid advice that I will give you is that, whatever decision you make, take responsibility for it, and stand by it. Don't pretend you made a different choice. Men can't get away with that shit, and you won't have any self-respect left if you try.
You do you but I'd live on the streets or in a violent homeless shelter before getting the shot.
Based on what? Show me the Phase III and Phase IV longitudinal studies with unequivocal peer reviewed control studies.
