I can’t represent myself as a “vaccine denier.” Having grown up in the Air Force and over the course of 20 years in the Army and multiple deployments, I got more shots than I can possibly count; I had three of those little yellow vaccination booklets full of stuff I couldn’t identify. I suffered no ill effects from most of them, but I also had to take mandatory flu shots every year and every damned one of them made me very sick and, in most years, I got the flu anyway, all of which is reflected in my medical records.
I’ve taken no flu shots since I retired from the Army 25 years ago and I’ve had the flu four times. So, at this point in my life, to say that I’m eager to take a quickly-developed vaccine for something that’s only mildly worse than the flu would be incorrect.
I grew up as Air Force brat and got plenty of shots and vaccines. When I joined the Marines I even received a lot more shots.
I use to take the flu shot ever year and still got sick every time. Typically 3 to 4 times a year. I quit taking it in 2008 and have not ever since.
I did change up my diet and intake a lot nutrients. I have not been sick in 12 years and not even getting the common cold that I use to get 3 to 4 times a year ever year my entire life.
I was originally pro vaccines for a good part of my life. I trusted what I was being told and never really looked into it.
That was until I did the research, and decided I am not doing it anymore.
Here is my issue with all the pro vaxxers. If you have the vaccine, then you do not have to worry about the people that do not have it. Trying to force people, against their will, is medical tyranny.
I have no issue for anyone that wants to take, then go for it. However, the people that do not want to take it. Leave them alone. If you had a vaccine, then anyone without one is not a threat.
