Dr. Appt with Pulmonologist today (I use a CPAP machine) - conversation with Dr:
Dr: "I see you don't have the COVID Vaccine, given your medical condition(s), I STRONGLY recommend you take the Vaccine..."
Me: "I've had COVID, why would I take a Vaccine that is proven to be ineffective & has side effects for something that I've built an immunity to?"
Dr: "I've seen 100's of people die due to COVID - your medical conditions indicate that you...."
Me: "I have an Identical Twin brother who took the Covid Vaccine and his life expectancy has lessened as a result (true story), absent any additional information, the COVID vaccine is a 'bad bet' for me."
Dr: "Have you taken the Flu Vaccine? - you should consider doing so, considering...."
Me: "Why? Last year, according to the CDC, there were no Flu deaths, why would I take a vaccine for something that led to zero deaths last year?"
<Check Mate> - For a minute, that felt good... I'm not thinking I will have a long-term relationship with this Dr...
I went to a specialist’s office, the first thing they want to know is if I’ve had the flu vaccine. (I’m thinking this is non of their business, it’s between me and my primary care doctor.)
They are ready at the computer to document my answer. So I say, “I can’t remember.” Hahaha find that response in your survey.
