It’s funny to me how every other vaccine has managed to escape becoming a political badge. Many here have mentioned the flu shot and whether or not they get them. Yet, I don’t think anyone looked at those decisions and thought, “oh, we know what side he’s on!” Rather, we rightly chalked it up to personal preference, and more of a respectful “you do you, and I’ll do me.” My husband has Parkinson’s. He’s also one of the ones that ended up with a heart attack after the 2nd dose, and a deep vain thrombosis after his booster. This absolutely could be a coincidence, but why wouldn’t that make us think twice about the next booster? I wish, though, that I was able to just talk through those fears with anyone without being labeled, scorned, told I’m uneducated, etc. I don’t know which way we will go, but it would be nice to speak freely without the judgement.
