I've been thinking about this since I had my first jab 3 weeks ago.emoticon pillemoticon clock

emoticon yin-yangI see many advantages in continuing to wear a face mask ~LESS pollution, less bugs leading to chest and other infections, lowering the risk of any other nasties getting in my system and finally not having to smell other peoples bad hygiene.

The disadvantages ~ facial expressions can't be seen (although this also has its positives), can't can't smell candles, new perfume etc. Saying that though it it's not compulsory this isn't really a major problem.

i have now had both of my vaccines and although, I feel a little more confident in my life. but because of my poor health and vulnerability towards other infections etc, i am still wearing a face mask when i am in the town centre and in busy places and always inside buildings. i personally believe that i will continue to use a face mask for a very long time.

i have had 2 major health scares in the last 3 years, for example on 3rd May 2018 i was diagnosed with a massive pulmonary embolism in both lungs, then in January last year I was diagnosed with incidences in my prostate, now classed as stable cancer, for which i have 3 monthly blood tests

i have now become used to wearing a mask outside, that when i am not wearing 1 my face feels empty, i know that it is psychological, but it can take awhile to unlearn some things, as it can to learn new things. i understand that, this is only opinion and therefore accept and respect other peoples genuine opinions, but , I will not be bullied or forced to believe them?

@sophiesmum‍ I understand your views on wearing a mask with asthma and breathing problems.

I have epilepsy and struggle to breathe when a seizure occurs without warning at any time. I wear a Sunflower 'mask exempt' lanyard and card when in shopping centres. I've never been questioned why I wear it, and all public/security have been respectful when I've been in many areas.

I still wear a mask for short journeys on public transport ie buses, but once at my destination I change to a lanyard.

Hopefully we won't be wearing masks for much longer, but until then I'll abide by the rules.

Keep well and safe.

I agree. i don't mind wearing them on buses, but i hate wearing them in supermarkets on other shops as they trigger my asthma as both my nose and mouth are covered.

@lesmal Just curious, how much research have you done on this so called vaccine?!  Have you gone to the CDC?  The VAERS?  The FULL disclosure to the Vaccine(s)..Have you done any due diligence on what was injected into your body?  Once its done, it can not be undone........

@VICKICOFFEY‍ I have done plenty of research, and queries I have had on the vaccines have been discussed with my GP and Neurologist.

@lesmal I wish you well then. Most people do NOT do anything and just believe everything they are told and hear from the media, sadly.

This is one of the informative sites if you (or anyone else) have time;

@VICKICOFFEY‍ Thank you. 

I have done my research and continue to do so. I don't believe rumours that people spread and all the nonsense through the media. My queries were made also with my Pharmacist and I trust my GP and Neurologist implicitly. 

I am not stupid enough, with all the health issues I have, to have not looked into it further.

You are welcome to your opinions. I won't be changing mine.
