Wow, how today has progressed. Woke up in a good mood after the ultrasound yesterday and work as going well until about an hour ago.
There was a company-wide email sent out stating that, without exception, any employee who isn’t fully vaccinated by Dec 8th will be fired.
Now let’s rewind a little bit. I have nothing against those who are vaccinated, or unvaccinated. After we got pregnant, it was always my intention to get vaccinated after I had the baby so that I wasn’t risking her health due to side effects of the vaccine (the words 'spontaneous miscarriage ’ are particularly notable as information I have read). And for a while it seemed like that would be possible because, until this morning, if we chose not to be vaccinated our insurance would be raised and that’s an exchange I’m willing to make until I have the baby.
Here’s the kicker. In order for me to be fully vaccinated by Dec 8th, I need to have my first dose tomorrow. No later. Which means I have no time to think this over. And since I’m a bread winner so to speak, if I lose my job we lose our house and everything else we’ve worked so hard for. With NO time to make a decision because my cards have been dealt and I no longer have a choice in the matter.
I took the rest of the day off today and I’m working a half day tomorrow so I can find someplace to get vaccinated.
Words can’t even describe how mad I am right now.
I took my panic attack meds about 30 mins ago so hopefully that will help take the edge off at least. But yea. Not happy right now.
