Ok, so I've gotten over my fear about allergic reactions to vaccine but now I'm stuck on the thrombocytopenia situation.
I have always gotten a lot of those red spots (petichiae and pupura) under my skin and after my bad virus in Dec 2019 got a ton more of them. Evidently a rare side effect from the vaccines is thrombocytopenia where your immune system attacks your platelets and platelet counts can go to zero. This can cause bleeding in the brain and death. The tell tale sign is getting those little red blood spots.
I was getting myself psyched up to get the J&J vaccine but now I feel back to wanting to wait it out further.
Has anyone here who gets a lot of those red spots gotten the vaccine yet and/or plan to? I don't want to chicken out but I don't want to be stupid either if I'm not a good candidate for the vaccine. I haven't taken any flu shots (not because of this, just because I always figured the flu was dangerous for those over 65 which I'm not at yet) and haven't had any vaccines since I was a kid.
Your thoughts?
