Yesterday, (7/18/2021) I went to a distant nephew's birthday in Philadelphia, PA. In a moment during the party I moved to the kitchen to het ice cream and a lady started having a conversation with me stating that someone asked her to follow me. I asked why; apparently, she lost a pregnancy 2 months after I lost mine (March Vs May) and I got pregnant again, (no joke) 3 weeks later after my miscarriage (I'm 4 months now), the person that asked to follow me was insinuating that I reveal "my secrets".
During the conversation I shared that my pregnancy was an atopic pregnancy and I miscarriaged at 10.5 weeks. The lady shared that she was having complications with her blood pressure and she was going to the ER every other day and the medication wasn't helping, therefore, her doctor recommended to get the C19 Vax (The lady lives in NYC).
Being a woman from the countryside in the Dominican Republic she trusted the doctor in America that are more "capable". During the next 5 days after the Vax she was experiencing horrible headaches and her body was overheated (really bad for pregnancy), she shared that her baby was moving incontrolably (kicking, twisting, and stretching) like he wanted to come out the belly and she was having labor pains. At the 6th day after the Vax her water broke and baby was stillborn, he died inside her with 24 weeks.
She also shared that the hospital that took horrible care of her committed tons of neglecting actions and that's why she is suing them, she said that she is responsible for getting the Vax without getting information first and she recommended me NOT TO GET IT.
I explain to her my concerns about the Vax and why I will never get it, also my doctor recommended to NOT get it (I'm in Montgomery County, PA rural side). It was a devastating story, but these victims are real.
In her case, I feel sympathetic because English is not her first language, her doctor was the one who insisted and lots of people that come from 3rd world countries like Dom. Republic trust American doctors due to the lack of reliable services in our countries.
First off, sorry to hear that. Secondly, I very much appreciate your tact when explaining to her. We should try our best to be as respectful when discussing such sensitive topics with people who are going through some crap, I think. Rubbing it in their faces really does nothing.
This is a severely under-upvoted comment. People are already grieving. Saying, “I TOLD YOU SO” is technically true, but unnecessarily cruel (imho).
