Hello friends, I recently lost my health insurance + benefits & am currently looking at a bill of over $16,000 for which I cannot pay.

I had a bad reaction to getting covid/flu vaccines together and I only recieved medical advice on how to mitigate the reaction (stay hydrated, take fever/pain reducers) AFTER it happened. I won't stop vaccinating but I could see that incident ending someone's willingness to take vaccines.
