It’s been surreal. The only interesting thing that has happened in anyone’s life these days, because of social distancing, has been asking each other ‘are you vaccinated?’ ‘are you vaccinated?’. Which one? (Astrazenica that gives you blood clots, or Pfizer that engorges your heart, or Moderna that hasn’t been given to enough people yet for us to know the risks). When is your second dose? (The rollout has been such a major disaster, a date for a second dose is not guaranteed).
I was vaccinated last Friday. I believe I am the last person in Ontario to get my first dose. The pharmacist said everyone are now on to their third dose. And no, no date for my second dose. According to the doctor, they have no idea when they will get more vaccines. The rollout has been such a major disaster. It bears repeating.
I was frankly stunned at how so many people already embraced the rushed out vaccine, without any trepidation.
Until I heard someone explain it. The stampede was led by the baby boomers who turned it into a hunger games competition - it was an A-type competitive race. No one wanted to be left behind. Everyone wanted to ‘win’. The early winners are now saddled with AstraZenica, the least effective and dodgiest of all vaccines. So dodgy we are no longer giving it to Canadians, we are shipping our leftovers to Africa. We are a disgrace to ourselves.
My arm has been slightly sore, and 46 hours after the vaccine I had to go to bed, I had to sleep for an hour. So far that’s been it. It will take a week or so to know I am past the reactions, but it’s not looking like I will die from vaccine 1.
As the restrictions are lifting, and as I am (FINALLY) getting settled in my new home, I am ready to get back to my ‘daily’ (haha) walks.
