Why are people resisting getting immunization shots, the pandemic shot, making Dr. appt when they have symptoms that vary from the norm, dizziness that persists, stomach pains, excruciating headaches, and the list goes on. Now the word 'fear' or 'afraid' come to play and if asked, most do not have any valid fears. They would rather die of something and have a mind at peace because they didn't know what was coming and how long they had to live. If someone like myself had a very bad reaction to a flu shot or other vaccination, I can understand that fear. It comes from an experience where the reaction should not have happened. And its now like a form of PTSD only regarding testing for an illness which if its positive, you then have the fear of what the treatment will do to you. I got a flu shot free at my workplace once and had the flu from September til end of February with only an average of 3 to 5 days in between at times of no flu symptoms. That makes me leary of vaccinations, yet I got the shot for Covid because I want to remain healthy and am older, and susceptible to chest infections somewhat. Each person will have specific differing reasons like I have for resisting testing or seeking out a Doctor. Me, well I no longer get flu shots but I use a Naturopathic remedy I take at the first sign of nauseousness and that stops the flu right there. If I already have the full flu, it shortens the duration. As you can see, some will have actual reasons why they fear something regarding their health, and others simply fear knowing what's wrong, and would prefer to remain blissfully unaware. That is the best answer I can give why someone might not want testing for Aids, HIV or anything else. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
