My Body My Choice: Vaccine Edition

I have no problem with people getting or refusing the covid vaccine. What I do have a problem is those people that feel the need to shame me for choosing not to get the shot.

They told us the vaccine would prevent the spread and save lives. We now know that's not entirely true. Many cases of vaccinated people contracting, and dying from, covid are making headlines. So, please tell me what the point is of getting vaccinated?

If you risk getting covid either way, then I'm not going to allow myself to be injected with an experimental drug, that we know doesn't do what was promised.

So, you can skip the vaccine and run the risk of dying from covid.

or...

You can get the vaccine and still run the risk of dying from covid...plus you could experience side effects from the vaccine.

If you want to keep wearing a mask, social distancing and staying home, you're welcome to do so. But I refuse to be bullied into doing something that doesn't actually do what was promised to just to make you feel better, even though it doesn't seem to make any difference.

I don't judge anyone that chose to get the vaccine but I'm damn sick of people continually trying to shame those of us that made a conscious decision not to get the vaccine based on our own personal situation.

What ever happened to My Body, My Choice?

Did you get your "fat letter"?

I am so sick of hearing about these schools sending home letters from the health department telling parents their kids are overweight.

Clearly they have no concept of how this can effect children. Most of whom already know if they are actually overweight. Do they think that those of us that are "fat" don't already know it? I'm sure the peers of these kids have made it clear to them that they are "different" but if they haven't, and they are still treated as equals, these letters could be responsible for putting the fear of being "fat" into these kids heads and cause future problems with self-esteem and eating disorders.

Unless the child is morbidly obese and clearly neglected by the parents, the school needs to stay out of it and mind their own business. Their job is to educate...stick to it!
