The Doctors Told Her The Covid-19 Vaccine Would Be The Best Option For Her—But It Turned Out To Be The Worst Decision She Could Have Ever Made For Herself
The doctors told Julianna Mastrantonio the Covid-19 vaccine would protect her. They said it would be the “best option” for her since she was “immunocompromised” – but it turned out to be the worst decision she could’ve ever made.
Julianna Mastrantonio was hesitant about the vaccine. Deep down, she knew she was right to feel “off” about the new mRNA shot. And despite what some people may believe, the young and intelligent pre-med student was never a vaccine skeptic or “anti-vaxxer”– she was just concerned about her health. Rightly so, since Julianna’s Lyme disease had stayed in remission for years, and she wanted to keep it that way. Luckily, she was able to obtain a medical exemption for the Covid-19 vaccination from one of her doctors. Much to her dismay, Rochester Institute of Technology – the college Julianna was supposed to attend and got a scholarship for in engineering – rejected her exemption.
