26. I am not sure what you feel bad about

Do you realize the reason the vaccination rate is low is because people are refusing vaccines that is the main reason. Get your booster and don’t feel any guilt whatsoever. This country absolutely does not care what happens to its most vulnerable citizens, especially the elderly, if they did they would’ve done the right thing from the start. And it is not all on dumpster. You need to do what you need to do to protect yourself and your family etc. There was a lot of cheating in the beginning with the first vaccines as well people who shouldn’t have been getting vaccinated were using family members IDs and stuff like that to get a vaccine when they weren’t even eligible. And the wrong people were made eligible before high risk which is what should have been done medically.

Everything that has been done in this country since the start of the pandemic was one big fuck up and it caused my father‘s death because he should’ve had a vaccine long before any young healthy frontline workers or other such people like that. Half of those people, at least, refused vaccines and some of those vaccines were thrown away- they could’ve been given to people like my father who really needed it. Do not feel any guilt, get your booster.


I had my booster a little over a week ago and I had a much worse reaction I am not sure if it’s because I have not been well with everything going on the past month which is very extreme which I am not going to detail here or if it was just a worse reaction this time. It was the full dose Pfizer. I had a worse immediate reaction and then I was pretty sick for about a week. At one point I was thinking I’m going to have to go to a doctor because I was worried my heart was being affected however I managed not to do that and the last place I want to go to right now any the hospital.
