I’m not an anti-vaccine advocate by any means. I’m very pro vaccine. The vaccine was not available in our area until April 1st. We only had moderna and the J&J to pick from at the time. All I was hearing/reading on the news was women are experiencing blood clotting after receiving the J&J vaccine. So why would I willingly get it? I’m severely immunocompromised. I can’t afford to get a blood clot, or Covid for that matter. I’ve worn my mask religiously for the past year. I was not cleared by a medical professional to receive the vaccine until two weeks ago, which I’ve already had my first dose now. My husband agreed that I should not get the vaccine in April due to my current health state. Since then I’ve seen my GI specialist, hepatologist, cardiologist, PCP, and they have all cleared me to receive the vaccine. And to be quite frank with you - I’m glad I waited to receive it. Since waiting they now offer the Pfizer vaccine in my area, so I opted for that. Minimal symptoms after my first dose.

So instead of assuming the worst and that I’m an anti-vaxer, try to see things from a different perspective. Clearly you have zero ability to empathize with someone.

I hope your day gets better.
