We have some friends where the wife is one of those essential oil types who doesn't trust doctors because they (well, ONE doctor) misdiagnosed a thyroid problem she had like a decade ago, thusly, the entire medical community is incompetent. Does all her own research on vaccines, and decided they were unsafe and that her and her husband would not be getting them, especially before FDA approval.
FDA approval comes along, and she reluctantly gives the go-ahead for her husband to get the first shot, but they most DEFINITELY will not be getting the vaccine at the same time because of the high probability that one or both of them will die from it. First shot, no issue for him. He got his second yesterday, and as typical, it took him down pretty good today.
She is reportedly "monitoring his blood O2 levels". Like he has Covid. How can you do as much "research" as she has done, and not understand 1) that he doesn't actually have Covid, and 2) that these reactions in healthy young-ish immune systems are completely expected and temporary? We're pretty much betting now that she will NOT be getting the vaccine after this near-death experience her beloved husband is facing.
