Hello frens, I just wanted to share an ongoing experience I'm having that gives me hope in a subtle way.
I have chronic health issues/a genetic disease that seriously affect my blood, and my blood vessle systems. I get pretty frequent bloodwork to keep up with where my numbers are at, and thus I have to see docs and nurses quite often. For this reason alone, I wouldn't touch the clotshot with a 39-and-a-half foot pole (it'd put me down for sure, lmao) but even if my health were perfect I still would not want this vaccine.
And so, I have to say that it puts a smile on my face that my primary doctor and his nurses have basically never even acknowledged the vaccine, and have never pressured me about getting it. During an appointment in April, and my doc casually said "Hey, I heard in May the covid vax will be available to everyone, we'll have to talk about getting that for you if you're interested!" and that was literally it. Not a peep since then, at all. I have seen him many times since and I've always been nervous that the vax would be brought up, but it hasn't been this whole time.
What's even better is what happened the last time I went in for bloodwork, the week of Halloween. The nurse once again didn't say a word about covid, but she did ask me if I'd had a flu shot. I was honest and told her no, I don't get flu shots because historically they always make me sick, I haven't had one in years and pretty much never plan to get it again. And this nurse actually agreed with me!! She said, "this might sound a little strange coming from a nurse, but I actually don't like getting it either because it makes me feel sick too! So I totally understand where you're coming from!"
To me, that's awesome. I thought for SURE that she'd segway into Covid vax stuff by bringing up the flu shot, but she didn't. And she didn't give me a hard time over the flu shot---I expected her to say "Oh well you know it's almost flu season! You should get it!"
It just makes me happy because I know this isn't the case with all doctors and nurses. I also have to schedule annual visits with a team at a much larger hospital in the inner city, and they very much peer pressured me about getting the vax the one time I saw them this year. But my main doc is in a smaller office like 5 mins from my home, and he leaves me alone about it. It's almost like he knows better, if that makes sense...I feel like since he sees what kind of health issues I have, he shows me respect by not bringing it up. If I were a doc, and one of my patients had a genetic disease all about blood, and he were at risk for blot clots normally...I wouldn't be pushing these vaccines on him, even if my higher-ups wanted me to.
I just wanted to share my story because it gives me hope! I truly feel like a LOT more people are on "our team" than it may seem from a glance...people who have concerns about the mainstream narrative, but they are afraid to speak up/are not able to speak up without jeapordizing their lives & families and whatnot. I feel that my main doctor is one of these people, and I am really grateful for that!
Have a good day pedes~ ✌
The last time I had a flu shot was 24 years ago when I was a young dumb employee whose employer provided them for free on a Friday afternoon. Started feeling sick Friday night. Thought I might have to call off work but was finally feeling better by Sunday night. EVERY employee who took the flu shot was also sick over the weekend. Bastards administered it on a Friday afternoon KNOWING it would make us all sick. Never had one since. Husband had to take one for work in 2017. We both had the flu that year (for the first time in 20 years).
That’s great to hear. I also have blood issues and have had 4 clotting cases that hospitalized me, twice nearly dying. My Cleveland Clinic docs, primary and the vascular doc, say there is no issue with me getting the vaxx. Unbelievable, fuck them! Docs are owned (most of them).
My last vaxx was in basic training in October of '76. Most doctors don't like to hear that, maybe your doctor would be different.
That's encouraging! Thanks for sharing that.
Nearly all of our country's institutions and corporations are corrupt money-driven monsters. But nearly all the people are decent, resisting the machine in various degrees of strength and integrity. Keep looking for the good ones! Seek, and ye shall find!
Just a question is your doc an osteopathic doctor ? A DO instead of MD (allopathic)? I’ve noticed a trend with a few of my docs, the ones that are DOs don’t push the vax at all, while the MDs have asked me about the vax. Anecdote but seems interesting
I don't believe he is! Not 100% sure, I think he just has an MD and does some pediatrics and some adult patients maybe? Outstanding guy though, probably in his 40s & has always been very attentive to my health needs. He was a blessing because I've played musical chairs with doctors my entire life, due to the fact that my issues were primarily treated at a children's hospital for complicated reasons. I had docs that were great that I became too old to see, docs that were OK that I didn't stick with, and the best I ever had stopped practicing to manage a hospital in another state--he just retired. So this guy is the first solid ground I've had in a while. There are good people out there for sure!!
