this was a hard choice for me. While I’m not pro-vax, I’m also not anti-vax. I just don’t want myself or my family to suffer or die if it can be avoided. Not that I believe this vaccine will actually protect us from anything, as we see in the news, we can still catch the Rona, even if you are vaccinated. So why did I take the jab? Because our lives are in greater danger with these mandates that dictate you must be vaxed to go inside a venue or work. As a small business, the majority of my income comes from gigs at venues, if I can’t work, I can’t feed my family or pay bills. So end of the day, it’s about what would you do to not be homeless or starving? I don’t think it’s fair that those with the lowest incomes & least resources are having our lives leveraged in such a way it robs us of our choices concerning our bodies. Parts of me feel like this is how our freedoms are stripped away gradually. (but that’s another post for another time) Being that my children both had Covid already, an FDA approved vaccine, also feels like something I can do to avoid that from happening again. I’m still rationalizing it within myself, that this was a good thing for us. That this will help us be safe. Ironically for the first time in this whole pandemic experience I don’t feel so useless or helpless. This choice wasn’t easy, even with it being a forced choice. It’s been 3 days and I’m still alive. My arm is no longer sore. I am extraordinarily tired & sluggish, but we still alive. We didn’t die. And here’s hoping this choice will keep us that way. Live your life y’all. Make your choice. Don’t beat others up for making theirs. If you don’t wanna get vaxed, please stay clean and socially distanced. We’ve lost enough people already. We have suffered enough alone. It’s time we choose to take care of each other as well. No matter what, I respect whatever choice you make for you and yours, cause that’s what freedom is all about right? #vaccinated #eachonecareforone #hardchoices #westillalive #nozombiegang https://www.instagram.com/p/CTtNUwADFMp/?utm_medium=tumblr
