A question for those who have an Auto-immune disease & been Vaxxed

my longest (and dear) friend from college who has
hashimodo's disease (maybe something else) is terrified of getting vaxxed.
She's in general a liberal so she's not gone off that deep end on beliefs.

Some doctor who had some Auto-immune disease she followed dropped dead a few days, or less after getting the shot.

Luckily she' left NYC (while still keeping payment for her apartment there) when cv19 began to spread, sequestered up in the hills of NYS (her old boy friend's house), only sees a few people, and gets driven into town for supplies. She's somewhat gregarious, so this also takes a toll on her.
She masks, distances, does wholistic health stuff (as do I), and worked in a hospital for ?30 yrs.

At some point hopefully she'll return to NYC.

In the meantime I tried w no success to convince her - but this Delta variant...

Could some of you share your vaxxed experiences.


Maybe I'll try again to convince her using examples from you folks.
She's a beautiful soul as a person, and talented, too, as a poet and artist.
Thanks in advance. 👍🙂
