Unfortunately NK, there isn't always a way to find if you're medically unsuitable until after you've taken it. As someone who has been hospitalised twice, almost dying on one occasion, to "safe" drugs I think such as yourself preaching that everyone should do as they say is part of the problem. The individual should always be the final arbiter on what is right for them.
For the record, the drug that almost killed me was an antibiotic. Possibly the "safest" category of drugs we have.
Let’s not go to extremes here, I clearly get people like yourself would be nervous and would fully understand you and people in similar situations being dubious and refusing it.
Your situation will make up a extreme minority of those refusing it. There are 25% of footballers across the EFL who have no intention to get it. That must equate to hundreds of players and If any of them have concerns like yourself, fair enough but I doubt many, if any do have those concerns and that medical history. It’s a simple case of them looking after number one.
I have no history of bad reactions to drugs but everything is a risk and when you’re history is clear, as mine is, you should be getting it. What will be will be regards having it, much like when I cross the road or get on a plane. Only this decision doesn’t just benefit me, It benefits everyone around me and protects people and they do the same for me.
I’m sick to the back teeth of seeing stories about Stu Fielden or Ben Cockayne peddling their theories on Twitter. These guys aren’t (to my knowledge) dubious about having it because of their medical histories, they’re just a pair of brain dead morons, who feel fit as fleas and don’t feel the need to focus on anyone other than themselves. They’re dangerous in the extreme and do people like yourself, who have valid reasons for not wanting a vaccine, no favours whatsoever.
