Covid-19 Vaccination

My daughter who is 15 was meant to have the Covid jab yesterday but she was getting very overwhelmed in the vaccination centre so we decided to call it a day. She has a massive needle phobia and hasn't had a needle put into her willingly for many years. She's not up to date with any jabs for cervical cancer because of the fear. And last year, she was in hospital and they need 5 people to hold her so they could put a cannula in. 

Anyways, she booked it with me and she looked to the booklet to understand why it's good to have it. She was fine on the way there and when we got there, she was waiting patiently. But then nearer the time, she was next, and she started to become fidgety. When she sat down the lady was lovely and introduced herself but when she put the needle near her arm, she pushed it away and ran out crying. They put her in another room so she could calm down. I told them that it was a bit of everything that tipped her over the edge. Noise, lights, people and the fear. We tried it again in the room but the same thing happened. She was getting more upset because she wanted it done but she just couldn't. 

On the way home, I comforted her and told her that everyone has fears and so on and that we can try it another day. But I don't know how to make it better since the majority of the issue is the fear.

  • Maybe, she could be allowed to hold off for a bit, from taking a novel treatment for a class of virus that was always held to be impossible to vaccinate against because it mutates too easily? THis is after all an MRNA shot, like software for your DNA. By not being an early adopter I missed out on teh crap experiences of windows ME, The early versions of XP, VISTA and WINDOWS 8! 

    Whilst I do not want to provoke senseless argument, there is a growing body of evidence that:

    1. There are now proven viable and effective treatments that reduce ones risk of a hospital visit if one gets covid-19

    2. The vaers and otehr statistics indicate that the "vaccine" itself is not without rishks to the young females.

    3. The actual death or serious injury rate from covid-19 has not been anything like as high as we feared in the early days. 

    Of course, the unvaccinated are now not allowed to travel, or go to work, or college in many places, a process eerily reminiscent of many other mass victimisations of innocent people that have occurred in the past. 

    OR as one lady so succinctly put it: 

    "Why do the PROTECTED need to be PROTECTED from the UNPROTECTED by forcing the UNPROTECTED to use the PROTECTION that didn't the PROTECT the PROTECTED in the first place?!"

    I understood the early rush to "vaccinate" but NOW? Young people? Really?
