So I was hanging out with a friend who is a centrist but seems to lean left, he knows I am conservative, but I don't go to deep into politics with him, just that I don't trust the establishment of either party. He knows I am unjabbed and never wore a mask.
Anyway, he brings up the jab. Said he went to get an MRI in his neck area. The tech asked him if he was jabbed, then asked when, he told the tech mar/apr, don't know the date, the tech pressed for a date, he didn't remember.
I was thinking this was leading to a booster question. But, not even close. He questioned the tech about why it mattered. The tech said the vaccine is showing up in MRIs, inflammation and showing past the blood brain barrier. My friend was shocked.
He is not getting boosted, hope he doesn't have complications from his initial doses, but glad he is waking up. He started questioning masks and said anyone that still wears one is suspect. He also questioned why they are still pushing the vax even though it does nothing for omicron. He says the majority of people he knows got omicron with the vax and without and all had similar symptoms.
People are waking up in stages. Waking up doesn't have to mean become fully awake. Waking up can be simply questioning things for the first time. Glad to see it happening, it gives me hope.
A tech wouldn’t be reporting this information (the vaccine date) to a doctor—the tech was asking the patient for his/her own curiosity based on what she/he has observed in vaccinated patients. A tech cannot diagnose anything, and honestly, that tech shouldn’t have said anything negative about that person’s MRI scan. It’s unprofessional, and imaging technicians aren’t supposed to say anything about results of what they see; they are just there to get the images. Only the patient’s radiologist can interpret the images who then sends the report of the images to the patient’s doctor, who then informs the patient and decides on a plan of care/treatment based off of the patient’s clinical picture/history/symptoms/imaging, etc. Imaging technicians cannot diagnose or interpret anything—it’s not in their scope of practice.
The role of the technician and the above conversation that was reported in the post disproves your idea that imaging tech was looking for a date of vaccination because inflammation will decrease over time. Obviously the vaccine administration date is in the patient’s chart, and access to a patient’s health chart information is supposed to be on a need to know basis to treat the patient. The technician doesn’t have the medical necessity to access the patient’s chart to see that info because he isn’t treating anything or diagnosing anything.
If that's the case and this was just a low-level tech, then that completely invalidates anything they say about the vaccine and its effects on the MRI.
