My background's medical/pharmacy. They are trying to push this vaccine for 18 months.

Pharmaceutical medications - which a vaccine is - are supposed to go through processes. Stages. This is to ensure the SAFETY of the people receiving it. PROPERLY conducted new medications on average go through pre-clinical for THREE & A HALF YEARS. And that's BEFORE they even start trying it on people.

Phase 1 - is on average ONE YEAR of minor clinical trials
Phase 2 - slightly larger clinical trials - is on average TWO YEARS.
Phase 3 - final largest clinical trials - is on average THREE YEARS.

After this the drug goes through FDA review & consideration which takes about on average TWO & A HALF YEARS.

So you are taking a process that requires at least TEN YEARS - there are few exceptions to this but there's criteria to meet on that too - and are trying to stuff it into EIGHTEEN MONTHS. Some drugs may seem fast-tracked such as those offered in cancer hospitals (often Phase 3 clinical trials) but don't think for a second they haven't gone through the proper procedures first.

And this push for a vaccine is also troubling when:
There's an indication it won't work too well for seniors (the predominant victims),
There are other vaccines/medications with varying success in combating COVID-19,
&
COVID-19 itself is not a serious threat to the general population but to select groups

I've been in only one relationship before... And it ended pretty horribly so I must not know how to be a proper girlfriend yet. But anyways, this is my story so far.

Me and this guy got together on discord after meeting each other for a few days... I don't know why but I guess we really hit it off. He was the one to be shy whenever we met and friended each other. He came to the group chat I was on because he liked another girl which is my online bestfriend. I ain't going to say names because I don't know who's reading this...

So, anyways. Me and my friend did a reverse tug of war around him because we both cared so much about each other and how the other was feeling. And everytime I texted him... I just felt guilty until something happened. He thought my friend was married, so he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I responded with a yes...

The thing was that I couldn't manage to text him... Being way too shy. That's just how I am in a relationship for the first part. And he told me he was upset one time... But it was pretty vague so I had to keep trying to pick up on what he'd said.

That was until soon I told my other online friend who'm I trusted his word ever since the first time, he was gay. And I know people of all sexualities so I ain't meaning anything against it! Many gay people that I know are always so happy and fun to be around. So I didn't feel guilty going to him because I knew that he only cared about me as a friend.

And that's where I got my confidence to speak to my partner about all of this and apologize... And I do apologize a lot. Especially online because the first time you meet me is actually how I really am. I'm way too submissive and happy and... Caring also clingy. But it doesn't seem like he's going to open up... I've searched up so many things on how to help my boyfriend feel happy and all the stuff I could think about for dating. He seems to still like my Bestfriend which I still ship. What did I do wrong? Please tell me...
