My belief in vaccines has certainly been destroyed the past years, and it puts one in a troubled position when you go against the status quo and prevalent medical ideas.
I didn't get the covid vaccine, while my wife did when she was in residency. With another kid on the way in 8 months, I...no longer believe in vaccines. At all.
So are we as a community against all vaccines now? Or just the covid one?
The only route I see for myself is bring the evidence and sit down and have a discussion. I feel that if I so strongly believe this, and I let my child get vaccinated, then I am a fucking weak man, and have failed my child.
All thoughts appreciated.
Thank you for your standing your ground for what was right. I'm in the medical field too and thought I was going to lose everything.
How fair was it for health care systems to fire workers, hire unvaxed travel nurses, and now those who got vaxed are being worked to death with unsafe patient:nurse ratios? It isn’t only nurses, but also radiology techs, etc. For me, it wasn’t a hard choice because I had months ago told my boss I was retiring at the end of 2021. I just left 2 months earlier. For the younger workers, it was a more difficult decision. But if you are dead or seriously injured, you wouldn’t be working to pay those bills anyhow. No employer has the right to control your body and I hope those who got the Covid shot sue them all into oblivion. They were being coerced and without full disclosure of side effects.
