This is really a dilemma for me. My dad is 92 and still going stong. He will soon be qualified for the jab (they do nursing homes and frontline healthcare first, then those over 80). I have so far kept the topic and my opinion outside of our family discussions. I am not going to take their poisson, but I am not sure about my dad - I do not want to decide for him and I do not want him to worry. He is quite lonely due to the lockdowns etc. and the whole situation is really taking its mental toll on him. The vaccine could put him at rest and get him to go out some more and not be so scared. This is a real toughy. I want him to live normally for the remainder of his life, and if he believes the vaccine could do that, then why should I intervene? When you are 92, who cares about possible long-term effects, right? I know he hates the lockdowns, and when our prime minister just extended the lockdown for another 3 weeks, he threw a fit, but he is still really emotionally affected by the scare tactics of the govt/media. I think I will let him decide on the vaccine without my intervention because it would probably put him at ease, but it is hard for me not to say something...
