Covid gave me long term negative effects. I'm 21 and I used to be healthy. I used to play trumpet and prided myself on my lung capacity. Now it's hard to go up more than one flight of stairs and move ~25 lb boxes for my job. What long term effects is anyone even scared of with the vaccine?? We KNOW covid can (and normally does) give long term issues.
My uncle refused the vaccine and was on a ventilator for months. At one point my family celebrated the fact that he had recovered enough that he could blink to communicate with nurses. He can't use the second floor in his house now. He can't leave the house alone. He can barely get down the three steps to the driveway. How is that less scary than whatever a vaccine may do?
This!! These folks are terrified of some nebulous possibility of long term effects from the vaccine, but ignore the confirmed *, serious risk of long term effects from the *virus.
Saw a great meme on this "this bridge is only 99.999% safe, so I think I'll swim".
I am okay now. It really hasn't affected my daily life that much. It sucks that I have to take breathers after going up stairs or moving heavy things but it could be worse. I can do long walks and normal everyday stuff good enough, things like running and swimming can be difficult. I think I'll be able to build back up to normal.
It scared me a lot though. I didn't think it would have long term affects for me because I rarely get sick and had strong lungs. I am really lucky!
