Forgoing surgery in my case would be rather fatal.
One catch is that if you're undiagnosed with some problem like mine (Brugada Syndrome) you might get the vaccine before you know that's a bad idea. I have, in the past, been dependent on opioids thanks to my broken body, and yeah, getting off them has challenges. But I think the key is WHY some people like them so much. There's something a bit off when the aim is to take so much you vomit but don't die, which I'm given to believe is the "ideal" recreational dose.
