I can't take the vaccine, how about you?

POLL: I won't take the vaccine because:
I have a condition that prevents it.
It scares the crap out of me.
I wouldn't take if under any circumstances no matter what.

What I'm seeing with the vaccine I'm very familiar with and wouldn't wish it on anyone. Plus this is a warning to everyone.

I wonder, how many of you are like me?

I have to give some history here. In 2002 I had an Anthrax infection that got into my organs. The pain was unlike anything I've ever felt. Even Morphine didn't help much. Was in the hospital for a while.

I had to take high dosages of Ciprofloxacin (broad-spectrum antibacterial antibiotic called a Fluoroquinolone) for several months, 1,800 mg, 2x/daily.

Around 35% of the people that take Cipro have a reaction called Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome and the symptoms range from mitochondrial genome damage to short term issues like torn tendons, nerve pain and the like. Some, like me, have this permanently. There are remissions that can last a few weeks but by and large, the issues are part of every day life. This is also known as Gulf War Disease - it's the same cause.

In my case, I have the DNA damage, nerve pain, tinnitus, ascending aortic dilation which is where your aorta is swelled like a balloon, my heart has enlarged, I have a minor form of dementia, my immune system is a distant memory. I get bacterial infections at the drop of a hat. Plus because of the changes in the mtDNA topology, I'm aging faster than a normal person. It also means I have horrible chronic fatigue.

For many years, the FDA and CDC refused to even consider that Cipro caused any of this. For years, the VA refused to believe any troops about the condition. They told us it was perfectly safe to take, that it's all in our head. Sound familiar?

In total, out of all the specialists and doctors I've seen since 2002, only 2 actually have any idea how to treat me and refuse to believe that such a thing is possible, despite the countless studies and reports about Cipro. Sound familiar?

I simply cannot risk even one of the possible side effects of the Covid vaccine. It's not that I wouldn't take it if I had to IF I didn't have the condition that I have.

So, how many others are in the same boat as I am where it's frightening to even consider the vaccines?
