My mum is making me to get the vaccine
Watch this thread
I don't want it yet but maybe in a few months because I just want to see if it affects other people but my mum wants me to get it ASAP. I just don’t want to have side effects and I heard that doesn't actually stop the spread of the virus. Everyone else's parents are leaving it up to them

you are 18 hence an adult hence your mother can't exactly force you
However people have been having vaccines since December and the number of people with side effects is no more than those who take the likes of antibiotics or statins etc

People have been getting it since December so you can already "see if it affects other people"

It is your body, your health and your choice as an adult- not your mother's.
If you have decided that you don't want any covid vaccine, just don't register and if your mother tries to bully or harass you reply with a firm "NO".

If you're living under her roof, then she has every right to tell you to get the vaccine.

Yeah but not younger people and they seem to be having most side-effects and even blood clots after the second dose.

People have been having it for months, including younger people. I received my first dose back in February and I'm young.
That being said, it's your body and your mother shouldn't be making medical decisions for you whilst you have capacity to make your own. Other people shouldn't be guilt tripping you either.

The thing is we all want lockdown to end, but in order for that to happen, the cases need to go downnnnn. Anti-vaxxers are selfish and ruin it for everyone, as while the whole country are vaccinated, they could still carry it and spread it wayyyyyy quicker compared to someone who is vaccinated. Idk if ur that worried about the side effects, you really should be worrying about your grandparents/parents/aunt and uncles lives. Imagine if you found out you’re the one who gave them covid, and imagine the amount of regret you’d have for not having the vaccine if they died because of you. Please please just get the vaccine. Comparing pro-choice to anti-vaxxers is kinda tragic imo. Having an abortion won’t kill hundreds of real life people. Not having the vaccine could. It’s just like anti-maskers. If you’re in a room with 30 people, and 29 are wearing masks..that one person could still pass covid to all 29 others. I’m double vaccinated, but after july 19th, I’ll still wear my mask because I know I could still be carrying it and I want to protect other people.

Also, don't tell me to get vaccinated, I am vaccinated and agree that people should be vaccinated so we can end ****ing lockdown and learn to live with covid. Will vaccines actually help in the long run, let's hope so. But let's not divide the world by ridiculing those who choose to double think what happens to their own body. Also, I don't automatically include those hesitant about covid vaccines as being in the same group as anti-vaxxers. Covid vaccines which have been around for less than a year and for which we are discovering new side effects regularly, are not the same as long standing vaccines such as the MMR vaccine.
Thanks for you reply anyway. I didn't read most of it

It’s not just her body and her health. The whole point of vaccinating young people is so they can protect the older/more vulnerable. Imagine your own mother dies because you passed her covid, just because you refused to get vaccinated. It’s just like wearing a mask- it will protect others. But if someone else isn’t wearing a mask and you are, then they can still pass it to you. Please make sure you wear masks after July 19th and test twice a week (esp if you’re an anti vaxxer). If your mother is vaccinated but you’re not, she’s protecting you but you’re still putting her at risk (ur more likely to carry it).

The thing is people should be allowed to make their own decisions as to what does and doesn't happen to their own body. The best way to allow them to make an educated decision is to rationalise with them and explain why getting xyz medical decision is the best idea.

Most of the country is vaccinated yet people are still worried about side effects and what’s in it…but those same people still eat mcdonalds not fully knowing what’s in it? I agree we do need to educate people on it but its just those few who refuse to vaccinate themselves who are ruining it for everyone. It’s just sad, that some people would rather pass on covid and potentially kill hundreds of people, rather than deal with some side effects for a day. Sounds harsh but it’s true.

You do realise that emotional blackmail doesn't work right? Especially if you are using it to try to 'convince' people to do something they don't want to do. Leave the PR schemes to people who actually know what they are doing, anon.

Emotional blackmail. Nice. Who exactly are you to tell anyone what to do? Especially when you're hiding behind the anon function like a coward?
