I am trying to feel out if anyone else has declined the Covid vaccine and feeling backlash or tension with other co-workers? I have never heard so much discussion regarding nurse receiving or declining a vaccine in the 12 years I've been a nurse. Not sure why it should even matter but, I am getting a lot of pressure about it. I do not see why I am "crazy " if I made the decision against receiving the vaccine. I also do not understand co-workers pushing the vaccine on me and others, or insisting we are out of our minds. This is coming from management level as well as staff nurses. I am just appalled at the treatment and many of us who have declined the vaccine have kept to ourselves. For me, personally, I made the choice not to get it and I was done at that. It's been a month into our hospital vaccines and people will not just shut up about it.
No, not a covid denier. If you believe the vaccine prevents transmission, show me the data. Maybe I’ve missed it. If it prevents transmission I would get the vaccine.
Nothing definitive yet, but the word from Israel looks promising. Vaccine also reduces transmission.
I'm still recovering from my second vaccine, I got very sick. Not sure if I'll do this again after this experience.
"I got very sick" vs "I had a very robust immune response." I'll go with the glass half full!
[FWIW, I'm one of those rarest of beings. I've received both the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and Pfizer vaccine. And, yes, I had a robust immune response after Pfizer first shot, but it was over within 18 hours. Nothing after Johnson & Johnson shot and Pfizer second shot.]

You and only you are the master of how you feel about anything or anyone including yourself. If Comments on this thread are having you feeling like S&&T. That is not our fault. It's been my experience that some people will steadfastly cling to ideas because they don't want to admist that they may be wrong.
I chose not to get the vaccine due to people dying from it. I will wait it out. Whoever doesn't agree, well, you can take a long walk off a short pier!

A 30 second Google tells you that what you wrote is nonsense. Here's a quick one I found, with link.
For those who don't read past the headlines, a concerning narrative appears — "Fifteen deaths after coronavirus vaccination," "Deaths at care home after coronavirus vaccine," "Volunteer in vaccine trial dies after COVID-19 vaccine."
In each case, there's more to the story than meets the eye. DW reviewed several cases in Germany, Spain, the United States, Norway, Belgium, and Peru, finding that in all cases experts from multiple health authorities could not find causal links between the vaccination and deaths.

Do you do the big Stew pot ???
I do in fact have several big stew pots which also searve as water bath canners during canning season. I am finishing up the green house refurbish today so stop by the breakroom later for pictures.
