Vaxxed Twice
2度目のワクチン日記

Second year into the world-wide pandemic, Japan finally started promoting vaccination in 2021, first to seniors and medics, then to care workers. I received my voucher earlier than others of my age anticipated only because I was a care worker myself.

At that point (and even now), I never agree either to massive profits made by the big pharmas or to decision makers in our governments (Federal and municipal) on Covid-19. I also never deny either the long Covid or the side effects due to vaccination. I lost too many of my dear ones to Covid, so I was far from denying the pandemic itself. My friends and clients who are seniors and Disabled and immunocompromised are in my thoughts for vaccination. So I did for my community.

After my 2nd, my otolith fell due to the high fever, I suffered nausea for the longest time in my life. I was rocking 22.5/7. Everynight, I had a 90 minutes window of somehow not feeling nauseated at all after my dinner. I pondered what I could do in this miraculous one and half hour.

“It’s good that I have been resting with my favorite cat, but what if I weaken further and die? Then I ought to draw.” That was how I started journaling using ProCreate. I was able to try out different styles of doodling, panels, and colors since it could be my last attempts (before I die LOL) yet nobody even knew that I drew.

The final days of the project became merging Japanese and English, not because I had a strong opinion about it, but just because I was tired of playing with layers on Procreate.

I originally uploaded this on Instagram, but I decided to move it to my own website to celebrate surviving two years since my ex-friend (who turned to be a Q-anon) told me that I will rot from inside because of the vaccine and all Bill Gates schemes.
