No coffee today since I'll need to do a blood test.
I am deeply concerned about the situation with COVID19 vaccine in my country. One of them is being used countrywide already, and this is an adenovirus-based vaccine. Some pharmacy companies has interrupted their trials of adenovirus based vaccines because of the side effects like polyneuropathy or cardyomyopathy.
But these are commercial companies that are interested in their own well-being. If they cell a vaccine and it kills or injures people, they will suffer consequences. Now, sputnik is a vaccine that is pushed a lot by the government that has a very long story of avoiding consequences of it's actions and ignoring the harm it caused.
So, today I'm doing this blood test to see if I even can take the vaccine because I am allergic to some things. And when the time comes I'd like to make an informed choice about which caccine to use and when.

Just to clarify - I am NOT an anti-vaccine person. I know that vaccines are necessary and useful. My main concern is the lack of data and the massive propaganda around the subject. Actually, this includes a bunch of bloggers posting themselves getting a vaccine. Be sensible, consult your doctor, read up, do a research and then maybe, if the risks are low enough, take a vaccine. It is an important thing to do but it's not a "no-brainer". Nothing is.
@academicalnerd I am not anti-vaccine either, and I too am deeply concerned. Everyone has blown covid so out of proportion (it is serious, just not as much as people make you think) that they have pushed through a vaccine without the proper safety and are putting everyone's lives at risk.
