I am Getting Vaccinated

by Eduardo Maresca

About 6 years ago I stumbled upon personal development books, audio programs and seminars and, as a result, I completely changed my eating habitat by removing sugar and refined carbs and eating nothing but lots of raw veggies, wholegrain carbs and healthy proteins.

I also started doing a bunch of other things like intense workout first thing in the morning, journaling and, yes, taking cold showers (and even swimming in lakes and rivers in mid-winter!).

One of the payoffs is that I haven't caught a single cold in at least 3 years.

I have also been listening to people like Wim Hof who claim that by facing the cold, eating healthy, doing breathing tecniques and eating healthy there is no way to catch the Covid-19.

And, based on the fact that by doing these things I haven't even caught a cold, I sincerely believe him.

So I don't quite see the need to get vaccinated.

The problem is that I am not alone, nor am I living in a forest: I am a family head, I go to work and I go to public places and meet people.

And, here in Italy, they are little by little introducing more and more rigid rules that will probably make it mandatory to have a green pass to be able to do pretty much anything, like going to a bar or a restaurant, taking a train etc.

And, as much as I believe in the power of cold swimming or healthy eating, the problem is convincing others, especially the authorities, that this stuff works.

So I am compelled, at this point, to go with the flow and do what the herd is doing.

I have my appointment next Wednesday for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in a pharmacy close to where I work (I can do the J&J only once and save myself the stress of doing it twice, given the many things I have to do).

The irony is that, before getting vaccinated, I have to fill out a form that gives all kinds of warnings and says that there is a chance that I'll have high fever...

Imagine not catching a single cold in years without taking any medicines and then catching the flu after getting vaccinated!
