As I sit here looking at this Covid vaccine, Iโm reminded how far weโve come in medicine.
As I sit here staring at this 4th dose, my SECOND booster, Iโm reminded while others fight to avoid getting vaccinated, I am left with little choice because my health leaves me with few options.
As I sit here thinking about how much Covid has impacted all our lives, many sit and continue to live recklessly while I and millions of others feel defeated because even the thought of death isnโt enough to push you to get this vaccine.
As I sit here, I wonder how many of these boosters Iโm going to have to take before people wise up and get vaccinated. Because until then, I get boosters due to my immunosuppression.
So if this post gets one person to go out there and get vaccinated, at this point, Iโll take that as a win.
If this post makes you wonder why get vaccinated because even those vaccinated and boosted are getting breakthrough with Omicron, Iโll tell you this:
*For those vaccinated, death and hospitalization are significantly lowered, if not completely off the table.
*For those vaccinated, Multisystem Inflamatory Disorder (MIS-C), is prevented in pediatrics. (Link on this in Bio)
So from now on, I hope to see cases decrease. I hope to see that tally of vaccines given rise. And in all honesty, I hope to see all vaccines available for everyone 6 months and older become available.
I have so much hope, but I wonโt lie, itโs been many emotional days with tears and frustration. I want this to be over. Until then, Iโll do my part. The question is, will you?
A huge thank you to those that have gotten vaccinated. I truly appreciate what youโve done.
