I went in for a yearly checkup with my doctor.
-
Me: I caught covid about a month ago
-
Dr. did you get a PCR test when you had symptoms?
-
Me: No.
-
Dr. Then how would you know you had covid.
-
Me: I was around someone with covid, I then had the same symptoms of covid such as loss of smell and taste.
-
Dr.: You should get the vaccine then.
-
Me: I have natural immunity now, I no longer need the vax.
-
Dr: The vaccine is better than natural immunity.
-
Me: Explain to me, biologically - how you could claim any vaccine could produce a stronger immune system than the virus itself.
-
Dr.: ...
-
Me: Even a perfect vaccine could only produce an immune response equal to the virus with the hope that the vaccine would have less risk associated than catching the virus.
-
Dr. You should still get the vaccine because we don't know how many antibodies your body produced, if you get the vaccine your body can then produce more antibodies to protect you from covid.
-
Me: 🔥 Now that I have natural immunity, I am much less likely to get bad symptoms from covid (just like the vaccine claims to do) if I catch it again. 🔥
-
Dr.: ...
-
Me: 🔥 This means there isn't really any benefit to getting the vaccine versus just waiting to get the virus again, there is actually now an added risk of getting a side-effect from the vaccine.🔥
-
Dr.: But you might not have even had covid.
-
Me: Well then give me an antibody test for covid.
-
Dr.: Well the antibody tests aren't as accurate as the PCR tests are. Antibody tests arent determinative if you have covid, PCR tests are.
-
Me.: The PCR tests are not accurate and should not be used to diagnose covid.
-
Dr.: ... Okay we can do the antibody test.
-
Test comes back positive.
I Shut My Vax-Pushing Dr. Up!

I hesitate to lump all doctors into this category the same way I hesitate to lump all teachers into CRT generators. Nearly 15 years ago my dad was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and told to get his affairs in order. Presently, my dad is alive, well, and cancer-free. A very good doctor saved his life.
I get what you're saying though and generally avoid all things medical like the plague.
Thank you. I know great doctors and I was a great teacher. It is so good to not be constantly blamed or accused. Teachers like me are part of the answer.
As a fellow educator, (retired), it is so nice to be in the company of great teachers. I'd like to think I had a hand in molding more than a few lives for the better over the last 30 years. We are not all lost. God bless, fren.
Fair point. I was generalizing, but there are, of course, some good doctors just like there may be some good bureaucrats out there somewhere. They got fooled and sucked into the system. They didn’t start like that.
That’s a fair assessment. I think it’s just a reflection of how close minded people are as a whole. Not just doctors. But doctors are highlighted bc we have a “medical” situation right now.
I 1976 I was in a head-on collision. Broke my hip in 10 places. I had a great Orthopedic surgeon who put me back together with one well placed rod that pulled all my bones back into place. With a lessor doctor, I would be crippled for life.
I remember once going on a follow visit. He took xrays. Then when he came in to view the xrays, I remember him standing there, just staring at the xray, and saying out loud, almost like he forgot I was in the room, "Damn I did a good job." He told me that when he showed his peers what he had done, they told him it was impossible. He was very proud of the job he did on me.
He had long retired, but I called him a few times just to thank him for for what he did for me.
Well he was a "third opinion" surgeon who said he could remove the tumor from a location in the brain that the previous two had said was not possible. I guess at that point my dad figured he had nothing to lose by putting his trust in door number three. He underwent the surgery for a successful removal of the tumor. The other 2 docs weren't even willing to try. The body is a miracle machine blessed to us by the grace of God. But this doctor gave me more time with my dad and I am forever grateful.
