Convincing you largely doesn’t matter since you have antibodies already. Your message here sounds a bit like a challenge, “here look at me I’m antivax please convince me” — no, at best that’s an empty request, at worst it’s trollbait.

My ex girlfriend is the exact same as you. I called her out on it, she didn’t like that. Do what you like, but IMO what you are doing is dishonest.

She did eventually get it, though, for no other reason than: it’s harmless, and it’s easier and cheaper than doing a test before every concert she wanted to go to. She eventually apologized and said she was just being stubborn for the hell of it.

Ah well, people change.



Calling the vaccine "harmless" is dishonest. It may have been mostly harmless for her, but the vaccine has caused death and other issues, most notably myocarditisand pericarditis in young men. For a young man who has had covid with mild or no symptoms, the vaccine could pose a greater danger than not. There is no one simple "right" answer here.


And you just described me perfectly. I have valid safety concerns, a healthy immune system, and experienced a total of one day of Covid symptoms.
