I’m not a troll. But I am 33 years old & disabled living with my mom & she has some guardianship over me. She keeps thinking she can influence me to take the vaccine when my mind is already made up to not take it. She is republican but is buying into the covid stuff on the news. I know it’s full of crap but I need someone’s opinion on what I can do or what I should do. Not making this up. I have tried telling her about the vaccine but she thinks I’m lying and I know anyone who takes it will die or have complications. I hope no one makes fun of me. I keep dreaming that when I have surgery next week that they will inject me with the vaccine when I’m under or do it when I’m asleep at home.

Tell your physician what your wishes are.
I agree. If you are of sound mind and 33 years old, no power of attorney or anything is in place.
well she talks like she can but I trust if it comes to it she can’t do anything - my dad died a few years ago and she’s been making poor decisions
Um, yes that's exactly what guardianship means. And you have no reason to believe that OP is "of sound mind".
I guess I didn't know my definitions. I find it hard to believe that a 33 year old that communicates as she does cannot play a role in decision making. But you are right, I don't know the situation.
There are different levels of guardianship. If it is not full guardianship, or specifically medical guardianship, she doesn't have legal standing to decide for you. *You need to contact your regular physician to put your wishes in your file. Ask them to mark it under allergies as your other health issues make it contra-indicated, meaning you should not have it. Allergies is a place that doesn't get buried in the medical record, and is checked regularly. *Then...do the same with the medical office of whoever is doing your procedure. If you are going under a general anesthesia, get a sharpie marker and write DO NOT GIVE COVID SHOT on your arm. They will all see you arm due to IV's and oxygen sensors. Doesn't matter what they think, if it makes you feel more secure. *You also don't have to say you are never going to get it. If anyone gets pushy, just say your health conditions have you concerned and you are waiting to learn more about potential side effects blah blah blah.
You just told OP to ask a physician to put false information into a patient's medical records. Think about that.
I do not consider it false information. I have seen similar things listed there. Allergies, adverse reactions, contra-indications. It isn't always just 'ive been to the ER with an anaphylactic reaction to whatever'.
Have her watch this.

It's a therapeutic. There are other therapeutics like what Trump took (regeneron) and he got well just in case you get it.
500 people have died after taking the vaccine. See VAERS. Why take this "vaccine" when there's a 99% chance of recovery.
that’s what I told her I’ve shown her everything
what about vaers where’s it show deaths
Don't worry about it. The chance that the vaccine will harm you in any way is extremely tiny, and the chance that it will do you any lasting harm is even tinier. You're a lot more likely to die in a traffic accident on the way to your surgery. Imagining that you "know anyone who takes it will die or have complications" is just plain crazy. There's a reason why President Trump made such a high priority of getting the COVID-19 vaccines developed and approved and distributed. He's not stupid.
Why are you listening to the cranks and crazies who are trying to convince everybody that the vaccines are dangerous? People like one of the commenters on this thread, who says "500 people have died after taking the vaccine". Well, duh, in the US alone, over 50 million doses of the vaccine have already been administered (so more than 25 million people, since it takes two separate doses to complete the vaccination process, and many people have still only had one dose).
People who were elderly or had underlying medical conditions that raised their risk of dying from COVID-19 got priority for getting vaccinated. These people were at above average risk of dying very soon anyway, and the ones who died would have died with or without getting the vaccine. Sure, there are a few (like you can count on the fingers of one hand) credible reports of people who appear to have died due to an allergic reaction to the vaccine. There are also a tiny number of people who die from allergic reactions to trace amounts of peanut protein that they didn't even know they'd eaten. Should we tell everybody that peanuts are so dangerous that nobody should ever eat anything that has even a trace of peanut ingredients in it?
Why is it that people who (wisely) question the wildly inflated statistics about how many people have been killed by COVID-19 (noting that a large percentage of them actually died of other causes and just happened to have tested positive for COVID-19), then eagerly attribute to the vaccine the most exaggerated (and yet still small number of) claims about how many people have experienced serious problems or even death shortly after getting the vaccine? "After" does not mean "because of". Everybody who gets the vaccine is going to die. So is everybody who does not get the vaccine. People die all the time -- it's a normal part of life.
Please take the vaccine...
