Answer
I am sorry for any previous experiences about your care. I am also sorry if you have not been treated fairly in the past.
Although I can not guarantee this will not happen again, there is a lot of information about how to deal with this.
I can however provide information on COVID-19 and the vaccines. This shows that the benefits of the vaccine so far are much greater than the risks from not getting the vaccine.
I hope that you reported previous incidents. There are support groups that can help make a complaint. You can also do this anonymously if you prefer.
