Covid vaccine

I know this is crazy, but I am afraid to get the Covid-19 vaccine.  Not because I am a anti-vaxxer, but because I had a severe allergic reaction to the Tetanus vaccine over 20 years ago.  I have been reading about the vaccine and some people are having allergic reactions that are severe.  Not many, but some.  Now, we are talking about me, if anything bad or awful or bizarre is going to happen, it will happen to me....DON'T BELIEVE ME?? GO BACK AND READ MY ENTRIES...FUCK!!!

 When I received the tetanus vaccine, I got the shot at the doctors office, came home and within an hour, my arm started swelling exponentially at the injection site.  It got so sore I could not move my fingers in that arm...then I started having trouble taking a deep breath, like a belt was pulled tight against my chest so it could not expand with air.  I called my neighbor who took me to the emergency room and by the time I got there, I could not even swallow my own spit...I was scared shitless...

this is why I am so afraid or leery of this new vaccine.  I plan on sitting by and watching for awhile.  I will not get this vaccine until the general population of America gets it first, that way I will see how the masses are tolerating this vaccine.  When you have had a severe allergic reaction to a medication, it makes you extremely gun shy....

my advocate who works in a hospital setting, will be getting his vaccine next week!  I will be watching him closely too....he needs the shot because of his place of work,  I do not need my shot, I do not work outside the home, I don't go anywhere, so I am pretty safe from the virus as long as I stay diligent with my masks and all the covid safety precautions.

I am glad my advocate will be getting the vaccine soon,  he has had co-workers with covid, he is around it too much for my comfort...He is also a smoker and does not have O positive blood (which seems to thwart severe reactions from the disease) plus he is over 50.  He is a much higher risk than me....I am isolated and I have 0 positive blood. I don't smoke and I have no preexisting conditions, other than brain tumors and DID which have nothing to do with the lungs and the virus.  I am very healthy otherwise.

It will be very interesting to see how the vaccine works out.  Hopefully it will be good for Americans and the side effects will be minimum and the virus will be put down!

PS.  I just now read (after writing the above) that some doctors are reporting that people who have had serious reactions to vaccinations and bee stings, probably should not get the vaccine.  Well shit, I am allergic to bee stings and tetanus vaccine...so I guess I am screwed.
