Why You Don’t Have to Get the COVID Vaccine

Concerned about getting the COVID vaccine? Not sure about the side effects—or the long-term effects? It’s your body and you have the right to say no. This doesn’t mean you’re an “anti-vaxxer” or any of the other negative terms that people throw out there. It means that you’re exercising your rights to make a decision about what you put into your body.

There are plenty of concerns about the COVID vaccine, particularly that it was rushed to market without the typical safety testing, including long-term testing. Many people have experienced reactions to the vaccine, and beyond the short term, we really don’t know the long-term effects of the vaccine—which is unlike no other vaccine on the market today.

Yes, we have been in a pandemic because of COVID and we’re all tired of the quarantines and lockdowns and just want life to get back to normal. We all feel the same way. There are things you can do, however, to protect yourself against COVID without getting the vaccine. I encourage you to read the blog that I wrote about this recently.

You Have a Right—and a Voice

Also click on this link if you’re interested in learning more about the vaccine’s potential side effects and your medical rights.

Safe stay and stand your ground. You only have one body—and you get to make the decisions about it. If you don’t want to get the COVID vaccine, you don’t have to!
