I'm sort of in the same boat as this guy, but I haven't been kicked out of anything. I am all for the vaccine! I have had Bell's Palsy twice - when I was 18 and again in my early 30's. I eventually recovered the first time, but the second time left me with a permanent lazy eye and numbness on the inside of my cheek that will never go away - not to mention the intense headaches that I still have on that side of my head only.
I keep to my small circle and wear a mask, but have not vaccinated (same for flu shots, hepatitis shots, shingles, etc) - I struggle with and pray about it, but the odds on the Bell's Palsy thing are scary. I had Covid back in August, and thankfully made a full recovery.
I am truly grateful for every single person that vaccinates because without risking paralysis, you are my only hope that we reach herd immunity. Thank you all!!
