• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

My husband wants to get the covid vaccine. I have ocd and anxiety and I believe a little bit but not sure the conspiracy theories that people will die from it all over the world. I’m the only one in my family who dont wants to take it and I’m scared my family will die and I’m the only one left. Also I’ve read vaccinated people are dangerous and they can be harmful to unvaccinated and since my husband wants to get vaccinated I will be in danger if I’m near him. I don’t know what to do. Is this all true? I believe this stuff to quickly. Is it because I have mental illness? But some other people who are not sick believe it too. Am I weird for believing this? I want to prevent my husband from taking the vaccine but he won’t listen. I’m scared to lose him. That he will die. And I’m scared to be near him if he’s vaccinated. Like if we sleep in bed. I don’t know what to do!! It’s hopeless....Can someone help me??

The vaccine is safe to have as well as be around someone who is vaccinated.

Are there risks to the vaccine? Yes. There are risks with any vaccine or medicine. Anything that isn't already in your body is foreign to it and can be a potential risk to it. That is why some people are allergic to certain foods. I myself am allergic to tree nuts.

As you mentioned, the things about someone who is vaccinated being harmful to someone who isn't is a conspiracy theory. There is no danger to someone unvaccinated by someone who is vaccinated.

I, my parents, my girlfriend and my teenage kids are all vaccinated. Other than feeling ill after receiving the second dose (which is a good thing even though it may not feel like it at the time) we're all alive and doing the things we were doing before the vaccine.

My husband wants to get the covid vaccine.
Your husband is making the right choice. The vaccine will protect him from the severe symptoms of Covid-19.
I have ocd and anxiety and I believe a little bit but not sure the conspiracy theories that people will die from it all over the world.
People will not die from getting the vaccine. I had the jab two weeks ago and I am still here.
I’m the only one in my family who dont wants to take it and I’m scared my family will die and I’m the only one left.
Well get the vaccine, that way when everyone dies from the vaccine, you won't be left alone.
Also I’ve read vaccinated people are dangerous and they can be harmful to unvaccinated and since my husband wants to get vaccinated I will be in danger if I’m near him.
I do believe you are over reacting. It is just a vaccine your talking about.
I don’t know what to do. Is this all true? I believe this stuff to quickly. Is it because I have mental illness?
I am surprised that you have enough time in your life, to think through such various, wild scenarios. You are inflating this problem way beyond what it really is. It is merely a vaccine, a prick in the arm and that's all it is.
But some other people who are not sick believe it too. Am I weird for believing this? I want to prevent my husband from taking the vaccine but he won’t listen. I’m scared to lose him. That he will die. And I’m scared to be near him if he’s vaccinated. Like if we sleep in bed. I don’t know what to do!! It’s hopeless....Can someone help me??
My brother and my flat mate are the same as you. They are both terrified of the vaccine and both dive straight into the conspiracy theories. I have told them both. If you get the vaccine you are protected from Covid-19. If you don't get the vaccine and you catch the virus. Then you better hope that your symptoms are not severe or long term.

It is a storm in a teacup but they cannot see it that way. They always over react, they get excited about trivial matters.

Get the jab and forget about it, there are much bigger events in life to deal with.

No, it's not true at all. This is one of the sillier antivaccine falsehoods that are making the rounds.

Look at the ratio of how many have died from COVID to those who died from the vaccine itself. If its the mRNA technology, then get the JNJ shot which uses a DNA technology called a viral vector. I personally choose the Pfizer but Moderna would have been fine too. The benefit of the RNA vaccine is that it only carries the RNA for the spike protein itself, the thing that attaches to get inside your cells, and hence you cannot get the virus from the vaccine. Ignore all the crazy conspiracy theories out there about it. Every member of my family on both my side and my wife's side have had it and my son in medical school was required to get the vaccine to continue with school, so literally all med students have gotten it. My GP is a very conservative Baptist and he got his vaccine back in January, and I was told all doctors got them then all nurses.

Is this all true?

Absolutely none of it is true. First stop going on the web looking for that silliness. My wife was just as bad as you and she has now had both shots and will be fully vaccinated by tomorrow, which is two weeks after her last shot. The vaccines are fine, it is Covid that is dangerous and I had to get my wife to understand this fact. You absolutely can not die from the vaccine but there is a chance of dying from Covid.

This, exactly. This is what convinced me. Among all the people I know, friends, relatives, coworkers and aquaintances who have been vaccinated going back to January not one has suffered a severe adverse effect(or died) due to the vaccine. A (very) few did suffer sore arms, chills, fever fatigue, etc which cleared up and they are all fine now.
On the other hand, among my friends, relatives and aquaintances I know several who have gotten seriously ill with Covid, 2 who died and 2 who are now suffering with long Covid(one with blood clots the other with lung damage and fatigue.)One who recovered nicely but still has not regained her full sense of smell.
It is true that we do not yet know the long term effects of these vaccines but there are also known long term effects with Covid and some we don't yet know, so there it is.
Anyway I do understand the reluctance of those who are hesitant as I was the same way, and I believe it should be a choice and no one should be forced into it.
As Greek Orthodox said above, stick to scientific and medical sites and away from social media and conspiracy sites.

First off a lot of the science promoted in the media has been bogus and those in the limelight are abusing C19 concerns for personal fame and profit.... big time. The death rate of this virus has been about 1/3 of what the Spanish flu was if we had the same percentage die from the virus it would have been about 2.1 million compared to the 600k then and our 700k (I think so far) is about 200k of their death perhaps.
Second Fauci is a hack, no masks, then mandatory masks..... 70% is the number for herd immunity to now he wants 85% and so on. There are others who scream it is the worst pandemic ever in the world but lets face it if we had let it run its course we likely would have not had but 1 million or so dead so far and 1% is 3.3 million so we are talking about 1/3 of 1% or 0.3%. People are so frightened of that low percentage the are buying into everything they are told to do. I'm not discounting the harm but many likely risk their lives at a rate of 5% chance of death often enough they shouldn't fear C19 at all. I'm more scared of driving on the expressway during rush hour than C19.
If your husband wants the vaccine I say it is a small risk, small enough that if is makes him feel better then go for it. I don't dissuade people from getting vaccines I'm not an anti vaxxer but rather an anti fearmongerer all this ramping up and virtue signaling correctness over C19 sickens me and it hasn't stopped either as there are people also disgusted at the lot of people who in order to profit from it continue the scare tactics on people they pretend to care about instead of telling them the truth they convince people that if they don't wear a mask and get the vaccine they could KILL someone with it. That is sickening..... very perverted thinking for a virus with a 0.3% death rate so far.

OP, I'm sorry, but you're getting some very bad information in this thread.

Please read the following:

Dr. McCullough: COVID Vaccines Have Already Killed Up to 50,000 Americans, According to Whistleblowers › American Greatness

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/06/a_massive_surge_in_covid_vaccine_deaths.html

The truth is slowly coming out, wrestling past Big Money and Big Socialism and Big Tech and Big Pharma and Big Fake Numbers (causality vs coincidence).

My final thought: These people who tell you some relative got the jab and he's fine... You can safely discard a sample size that small. (Statistics 101, Week 1.) And, wait until the long-term effects start showing up: years down the road and in subsequent generations.

Many times -- most times -- the truth isn't conveniently handed to you by the three-letter networks. No, oftentimes you have to dig for it, and be prepared to be made a bit uncomfortable when it confronts you.

I'll tell you a true to life story from an MD trained at Johns Hopkins who did residency at Harvard and lives in my home state and is one of my doctors.

A patient of his came through this time a year ago, and said he didn't believe the virus was real and had no intention of getting vaccinated ever. About 2 months ago this same patient came through and said he had completely changed his mind and been vaccinated and was out campaigning to get others vaccinated. He said his wife, his brother and his son had all caught COVID-19 the virus and died, and so now he is a big believer in vaccinations.

I say that not to scare anyone, but to open your eyes before it is too late like this man.

I personally know 2 people (women) who still struggle with long Covid months after getting the virus.
One had to quit her job. She had been hospitalized. I know several who were given the monoclonal? antibody treatment and survived, I wonder what would have happened had they caught Covid before this treatment was available. This treatment is also experimental and carries risks, I would imagine and has not been approved by the FDA but only authorized for emergency use. I haven't heard of anyone turning that down.
I know one man who died. Now, I do believe the vaccine should be a personal choice and I don't believe anyone should be forced or coerced into it. I would say do your research but stick with reputable medical and scientific sites.

Must say you're a real encouragement to people.

It is merely a vaccine, a prick in the arm and that's all it is.

Just a prick in the arm doesn't cause blood clots in some. I'm not saying the blood clot issue effects the greatest majority of people but please.....don't just say the vaccines are just a prick in the arm. That's either ignorance or being disingenuous.

The blood clots for the most part are completely false. The companies put up a spreadsheet where anyone could put any symptoms, people spammed it because people are dumb and it was taken seriously at first but they realized it was just anti-vaxxer trolls.

People will believe any lie as long as it sounds good and all the anti vax lies sound the sweetest, just like Satan likes.

Satan is truly busy keeping people terrorized by vaccine, so they will not get the protection and might even die --he would love that! The medical and other clinicians and scientist truly know what is best for man in this virus, but many gullible people like to listen to many voices who know nothing of the truth, but enjoy ideas of men they admire.
Thousands of us have been vaccinated and are doing well, and NO one has died from a vaccine, but it could in a few cases that some have gotten the virus through other means BEFORE the two weeks after the shot before it has taken effect --and considering the new variant virus can sicken one who is vaccinated sometimes, though NOT kill them.
One can believe the strong insistence of ignorant and rebellious people about vaccines being bad, and after they are exposed and it is too late, they might wake up to their folly. Whom do you trust, the medical authorities or ignorant people who guess at things, and think they are experts?

My country, Taiwan, recently encountered the outbreak of covid, and hundreds of people are inflicted with covid on daily basis and a couple of dozen died on daily basis. Thanks for covax, Japan, and USA, we received generous vaccine support.

Hundreds of people are inflicted with covid, 20 to 30 people died roughly on island per day because of this disease, and death usually ranged from age of 50 to 90. Government strongly encourages elders, age of 75 and above, to get vaccination of AZ so as to lower down national death rates. However, elders did come out for a shots but up until now that 84 Elders who received shots had died shortly after AstraZeneca vaccinations, the number will anticipate to goes up as vaccination for elders progress along the way. Some politic figures claim it's arguable that vaccine is direct causation of death, since it states that pre-existing health condition of these ill elders, quite a bit has severe underlying diseases such as high blood pressure, high sugar, heart failure, kidney failure or some sort of serious complication or clotting.

The ratio would be roughly 2 out of 10000 elders died following AstraZeneca vaccinations. From macroscopic point of views or public health point of view, it's not as awful. Vaccination is only way to combat with terror attack of this virus. Otherwise, elder has 20% or 30% of getting severe sympton or even death, if inflicting with covid. But elders are in shock, and some of them resist injection out of insecurity. Because insufficient amount of vaccine, elders are being placed top priority groups which is much ahead of young group of people, ironically, youth want a shots but no shot serving them now.

Owing to low availability of vaccine stock, the top priority group of receiving az vaccine shots, are health workers, such as doctor, and nurse. Police, public servant and some other specified group are also on national top priority group to receive shots. The total death rate of these groups is extremely low. The result is probably that 1 out of 35, 0000 people died shortly after following AstraZeneca vaccinations

Vaccination, a living evidence in many countries, really help fight against covid and shield from covid attack. Vaccination not only prevent from potential possibility of infliction with covid, but also greatly reduce severity level and death rate of covid patient. If one has chance, it's better to take the shots. It protects not only you but also your family, in law, neighbors, and colleagues.

To take UK as an example, UK was once the most serious battling ground in European country on matter of covid. It now still has 10000 of people infection on the daily basis, but thanks to injection of vaccine, the hospitalization and death rate of UK just significantly drop. UK still has 10000 of people inflicted with Covid on daily basis.

If we put into mathematical calculation, 10000 of people infected would potentially generate 2% or 3% of death rate following after, which is 10000*2% or 10000*3%, equivalent to hundreds of people. But UK death toll is 30 people per day, which further validate the effectiveness of vaccine working underway, so is much lower rate of hospitalization.

Daily summary | Coronavirus in the UK

Vaccine not only show lower rate of infection , but it also significantly lower down severity level and death rate of Covid.

As for virus variant,vaccine has no guarantee on that, some political figures or scientist ever deliver speech on vaccine that work less ideal against with virus variants from Africa or something

I understand that it is just too frequent and take shot every half an year,
But in order to back to a normal life, and cohabitate with covid, I think this theory might still hold up that we better wear some sort of hamlets and armor like vaccine in the midst of storm or battleground with covid.

Well --enough said, it seems. It is amazing how effective the lies of Satan are working to kill many people! So many souls just believe the lies of rebellious people, and reject what physicians and health experts say. Plain logic alone should tell one to obey the experts, and want to stop this Covid virus from spreading, but they do not care ---amazing! Has one read Romans 13; Luke 20:25; Acts 5:29; Titus 3:1; etc. We are NOT to disobey government unless they are requiring us to disobey God; and I haven't seen that yet.

It is hard to imagine people being so gullible to lies to endanger their own lives. I feel sorry for them, but rebellion to truth in favor of ignorant man's persuasion is very effective to simple-minded people, who do not know and trust our God. People everywhere are rejecting the Gospel of Jesus Christ (as John 3 in the Bible) and depending on their own ideas. May God have mercy on them!
