Up to now, the image of all is quiet, looking at the car is still haunting˳ The image of more than ten thousand words has changed everything, even the “anti” mentality of the vaccine that I have kept for many years˳

As a member of the “anti” medicine school, I usually only use medicine when it is unavoidable, when traditional and oriental remedies, hot pot leaves do not relieve the disease˳ With that in mind, I’m also the kind of “anti” vaccine˳
Expressing “anti” shortly after the first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine hit the market in early 2021, rumors began circulating on social media that they could affect fertility, despite the fact that there is no reliable evidence behind these fears˳
Some friends also said that the COVID-19 vaccine causes memory loss, hair loss after injection… Then believing that even the British and American people who know medicine, many people are afraid of vaccines, refused to inject˳
In the summer of 2021, the epidemic began to peak in Ho Chi Minh City˳ Agencies began to vaccinate staff, I continued to avoid injections, with the notion that the new vaccine would be toxic to me, whether my body would be affected in the long term or not˳ …
“Naturally the body is clean, why inject a substance related to COVID-19 into the body˳ I heard it is a weakened COVID-19 but it is still COVID-19”, I half grumbled˳ half-jokingly explaining to the friends who were inviting him to go with him for injections˳ Yet at that time, there were some men who believed me!
Fuck, there was news that someone died after being vaccinated˳ The news that catches my attention personally is that An Giang recorded a case of death due to anaphylaxis after vaccination against COVID-19 on May 7, 2021˳ The other person who died was a 35-year-old medical worker working at Tan Chau Regional General Hospital˳
These news made me even more stubborn about anti-vaccination˳
Then the whole city distanced itself˳ Ho Chi Minh City applies directive 16, people can only leave the house in necessary cases: buy food, medicine, perform official duties˳ “Each ward, commune, town; each agency, factory, and enterprise is a fortress for epidemic prevention and control”˳
Brightly lit loudspeakers persuade, guide and ask people not to leave their houses, “whereever you are, there”˳ Testing units throughout the city during social distancing to detect F0 cases as soon as possible, promptly prevent disease spread˳
The city of Thu Duc where I lived at that time accelerated the vaccination schedule and organized various forms of vaccination˳ In the thick atmosphere of the day of the epidemic, the numbers of infections and deaths became the hottest news on the radio every day, as well as going into each story told together online˳
Then one afternoon in August 2021˳
“Mr˳ Quy, have you had your injection yet?”, Mr˳ Tuan, a close brother, called urgently to ask˳
“No, you can’t leave the house, keep your distance”, I dodged the injection˳
“You go right away for me˳ I ask the hospital to give you a way to go to the injection hospital˳”
About 10 minutes later, my brother took a copy of the invitation and sent it to me, forcing it to go away, otherwise it would only have a certain effect˳
No matter how bad it is, respecting my brother, I had to take my motorbike to the street and head to Thu Duc Hospital for injections˳
While waiting for his turn, he suddenly saw something like mist spreading from the door of a hospital room about 20 meters away˳ A nurse pulls the hospital bed ahead, sprays a specialized disinfectant with alcohol, and the latter pushes a cart˳ In the car was a small person covered with a white scarf from head to toe!
Real shock˳ The whole line of people waiting in line for injections, all silent, turned their eyes to the haunted car˳ I have heard about the number of victims on the radio, but this is the first time I have witnessed someone die from COVID-19 in person, right at the hospital and in the thick of fear˳
When two medical staff returned the patient to the cold room, someone asked: Has the previous patient been vaccinated, doctor? Not yet! If you get an injection, it’s only mild, but not too bad˳
A haunting visual message! No one told anyone, the whole line of people quietly, patiently waited for their next injection˳ No one returned because of the long wait˳ No one is discouraged in the middle of a change˳
That time I did not get the shock after the injection as rumored, nor did I feel any pain or slight fever˳ I was just shocked by the image of more than ten thousand words engraved in my mind, completely changing the anti-vaccination mentality as long as I tried to keep it˳
May the souls of those who passed away in those days rest in peace˳
