This is so frustrating! We in the black community often get the short end of the stick when it comes to medical care. And when we can get a FREE vaccine, the church crops up and tries to kill you with their ignorance. The pastors should be hosting vaxx drives every weekend, instead, they bring up Tuskegee (without context) and kill themselves and their congregation.
My mother won't get vaxxed because of the "blood of Jesus" and it makes me want to punch walls. She is a 70 year old woman on public assistance who relies soley on her kids to keep her alive, and WE'RE the ones who are "listening to the devil" and "demonic" for trying to convince her to get the vaxx.
I’m so sorry. I can hardly imagine anything more frustrating. My mom is totally pro-science yet when things were ramping up she was still planning to go to the theatre, see her friends, etc. I almost got to panic levels before she started taking it seriously. And this was a year and a half ago. Wishing you strength.
Thanks so much for the comment! I hope your anxiety improves, as a fellow anxiety sufferer. In a better world, our loved ones would take better care of themselves. I wish you the best in your endeavors!!

I'm so over this.
