Severed Tongue

Here is my story.
At least this is what my mother told me. She passed 6 years ago. I say this because I can find no actual record of any of it, except for a single entry in my baby book that says "at 2 months old, xxxxxx will not get immunized" (xxxxxx is me)
so anyways here's the story.....
at 2 months old I went to get my 1st set of immunizations.
I apparently had a severe anaphylaxis reaction later that day after getting home and apparently suffocated and died for a couple minutes.
Obviously they brought me back / saved me.
The next part is at the age of 6, I was registered with "Medic Alert" that I am "Allergic to All Immunizations" this was 1980.
So throughout my life I never got any shots, I was the only one throughout school that I recall that never got any shots.
I never questioned it, and just lived my life.
I've never traveled out of Canada. I've lived like a hermit, staying home often, and diligently washing my hands several time daily whenever I go out. basically just like all you've had to endure minus the face mask. I work a night job as a contractor in high rise buildings cleaning carpets, so contact with people is limited there too, been doing this for near 25 years now.
When I was in my early 20's (late 1990's) I attempted to find out what it was I was allergic to, so got allergy tested, reaction confirmed but inconclusive as to cause.
Was told by the testers to continue wearing the medic alert as it's for life.
I never kept any records either as I assumed the Medic Alert was the record and my doctor keeps all records as well.... not true, they only keep it for 10 years. I didn't need to see the doc for over 20 years, and the guy I saw back then passed away as well. His clinic is still going, just new staff and practitioners.
FFWD to today
I was born, raised and live in Alberta, Canada.
We are now doing vaccine passport where proof of 2 doses via QR code and government app is mandated starting Oct 25th 2021 for access to anything other than grocery stores and shopping malls pretty much, basically anything entertainment.
The commercial high-rise buildings I work in also decided to participate, so no proof of double vaccine, no entry without a PCR rapid test at my expense. They are $130 here and required every 72 hours, would work out to 10 times a month, so about $1300 I'd have to pay, just to work. I was basically told I was going to lose my job as they wouldn't be able to send me to site where they require vaccine proof when they have other crews that are fully vaccinated.
I can't get an exemption as there are NO records. Medic Alert just says all they have is the inscription. "Allergic to all vaccines" ..... this is useless....
I've spent nearly 2 years since the Pandemic started trying to sort this out and I'm literally drained to death. My Doctor refused an exemption letter stating he will loose his license and it's beyond his scope, meanwhile, the government of Alberta states clearly that it is your family doctor to see to get one. 811 health link Alberta government nurses repeated this and said if he won't go see a different doctor. I saw 2 other doctors about it, they said the same thing. They won't give exemption as they've been threatened by the collage of physicians that they will loose their license, and the only way I could get an exemption is if I get the shot and have a severe reaction to the Covid vaccine, as the other immunizations are not the same and don't count.
Cutting the story short, I was assured that vaccine is safe and it's not possible to be allergic to all vaccines and "just go get the shot, even if you have a reaction they can easily deal with it." I got the same response from 2 other doctors and an Allergy specialists.
I decided that with 5 doctors and a specialist all saying the same thing, I have to believe them. So on Friday I got the Pfizer shot.
no reaction.
at.
all.
arm was sore where the needle site was for a day like someone punched me hard, but otherwise nothing.....
Anyways, the point of my story is, I was pretty much forced into getting the vaccine if I wanted to continue a 25 year career where I have the top contract and earn the most in the company. There is no longer a choice. Don't get me wrong, If I didn't have this medic alert thing, I'd have gotten both doses asap and probably gotten the 3rd booster by now. I have nothing against it. But fuck... they have taken away choice. loosing your career and starting over after 25 years and maybe if your lucky be able to be a delivery driver or something for minimum wage, or, get vaccinated.
the 2nd point is, if your holding out with no valid reason, you are the fucking problem, because If I can have a story like this and still get the shot with no adverse effect, there is NO reason for you not to. The vaccine is safe. It will save lives.
Thanks for reading.
