Everyone’s experience here is going yo be different. A lot of very strong opinions, especially in regards to the Covid vaccine, which I totally understand! It was so quickly developed during the pandemic, an emergency vaccine and we were mostly the “lab rats” it was being tested on! I think we were all nervous about taking it, but for me , it would of been worse to get Covid because I have Asthma. They have since had more time to study its effects and we now have new, updated versions of this vaccine to cover the new strains of the Covid virus. From what I have read, any connection between the vaccine and the development of autoimmune diseases are extremely rare. Lots of info online.
