I just got back from my first dose at a clinic, there were lots of people there. I was feeling a little emotional thinking about everything and how crazy it is that they actually made a vaccine, but I was holding it together. I was grateful for my mask since it hid most of my face.

When it was my turn, the RN was very nice and seemed concerned that I was nervous. When I told her I was fine and she asked “are you sure?” I tried to tell her how I was feeling and I just broke down and started crying. I could tell she was professional and prepared for that and she helped me through it, no big deal.

I’m a man in my mid 30s and I’ve only seen another dude crying in public once. Not embarrassed, I’m actually happy that I can feel stuff and appreciate that things seem to be getting better. So many times last year it felt like the literal end of the world.

I just wonder if others had a similar experience? If you got the shot, what kind of thoughts or emotions did you have at the time?

Sweet. Here’s another gem in the comments:

I'm 33 and have cried more in the past year then I ever have before. I lost 3 family members to covid then my dad told me he wasn't going to get the vaccine because of some stupid Facebook post and I completely lost it when talking to my mom about it. She told him how it was affecting me and then he scheduled the appointment and got it. For both doses I cried on the drive home just thinking about all the lives lost from this dumb virus. Now I'm crying again, this has been such a bad year

Such a shame that the father is using kikebook, but at least he has sense enough to avoid the gene therapy vaccine.... until his wife guilted him into it....

Their shitty lockdowns doubled world hunger, cost 40+ million Americans their jobs, and added millions and millions of new poverty caused child deaths... but, by all means, cry that your dad isn't scared of a weak ass flu. Oh no!

Oh i cried, the humanity. How about cry for the white girl who just got raped by a baboon just walking home from getting groceries.

They probably just told the stupid fuck that he got it.
