Last week I took care of 3 covid patients ages 34, 29, & 26. All three required a ventilator to breathe and had covid kidney, blood clot, and lung complications. All three were unvaccinated.
I asked each of the three young men what held them back from getting the vaccine. 1/n
This is what each said to me:
34 year old: "I wish I did if I knew this was going to happen to me."
29 year old: "My sister had covid and then I got covid. I didn't really think to get the vaccine before that."
2/n
26 year old: "I thought it wasn't real, that it was exaggerated, no one I really knew got sick from covid."
The one thing they all had in common was a lack of access to trusted & accurate information.
