Then he's a , sorry, not sorry. See, children die from covid, and are still dying from covid, and not just the ones who have preexisting conditions either. I have personally witnessed
absofuckinglutely normal kids die from covid. You don't want to see what I've seen, or do what I've done. Ask your husband if he'd like to be the one to carry your child to the morgue. Done that. You don't want to hear the wail of a mother who just lost their child to this disease. It will haunt your dreams. And you for damn sure don't want to be that mother.
There's so goddamn much misinformation about the shot, and half this goddamn country can't read beyond a fifth grade level but think they understand any of the science behind it.
Let me step down off my soapbox. Sorry. Make sure he understands that, while the shot is not without risks in itself, contracting covid is like Russian roulette, and the more health problems a child or an adult has, the more bullets are in the chambers. Those are not good odds, and as I've worked with some hella sick children, I can tell you that there are parents out there right now who are, with every breath, wishing they could turn back the clock. As I said before, we are losing children to covid who have zero preexisting conditions. Nothing wrong with them, and yet they are losing the battle against covid.
You did the right thing, and I will back you 10000000000000000000%
And even though the admissions for covid are wayyyyyyyy down from what they were years ago, it's still concerning, and the virus is still evolving.
One thing I do advise is that if you get any kind of shot, only get one at a time. I'm old as fvck and I got my flu,shingles and pneumonia shots all at the same time last year, and I was out of commission for four days, actually lost a job because of it. I was out cold. Couldn't stay awake for any longer than an hour at a time Slept more then than I had in the previous two years.
And contrary to popular opinion, there is a literal fuckton of research done on vaccines and their effectiveness. It's how we damn near eradicated many diseases. Unfortunately, thanks to the dumbass brigade, Playboy model, and others who don't read, people get into their heads that somehow they know more than the people who study this shit day in and day out for decades of their lives. That doesn't matter to the public, though, because they'll believe that winged horses are in every barn and that prayer will save them from just about anything.
Life is no faerie tale, and real dangers exist. Covid, just like SARS, ZIKA, Smallpox, and Ebola, will fucking kill you and not give half a damn. One of my coworkers contracted ebola from a patient of hers. Had she not been employed where she was and gotten the prompt treatment she did, she would have been dead, too.
Just be safe. Keep hand sanitizer handy and use that shit after every encounter in public. People are fucking disgusting, and they don't give two shits about anyone else, so you have to protect yourself.
Flu season is coming up and I've already seen at least one child who had flu, RSV and covid AT THE SAME TIME. She tested positive for all three, and she must have had one hell of an immune system because she was dancing and singing for almost her entire hospital stay. There were times when she looked like she felt like hammered shit, but she just tried to smile...it was the sweetest and yet, saddest sight to see...she was soooo sick.
Annnyyywayyyyy, ya'll have a good Hump day.
