So I accompanied my wife to her oncologists office today.... she's 2 years out from treatments and her doctor is associated with (and located at) a large university research hospital. After he gave us the good news that her most recent scan was negative for cancer and all her other labs were great, he asked, "Have you both had your vaccines yet?"

We just sort of looked at each other and said, "No." He began extolling the virtues of the vaccine and STRONGLY suggesting that we both take it.

I told him that we're concerned about it because it's an experimental drug, it had WAY too short and incomplete clinical trials, and that there were too many adverse affects we'd read about. But he just kept saying, "I really recommend you get the vaccine."

I steered the conversation back to my wife's cancer and her health right now, so he chatted about that. And as we were leaving he couldn't resist one more time, "I hope you both will consider getting the vaccine."

On a different note, he did say that the hospital has an antibody treatment if we DO come down with the virus, and said if we get sick we can always come in for an antibody infusion.

We both thought it odd that he was giving us such a hard sell for the vaccine. Very curious... but we're STILL not getting it.
