    “Doctors recommend vaccines.”

    And therein lies the problem.

    Nah…the good ones moved on a long time ago. Now the ones that work for government/public health and have failed us. They continue to push these things. In kids no less. I would not recommend listening to them. Go to one of your local doctors. Hopefully not part of a large corporation…

    LOL!

    It is called he had the data coming out (especially Israel) added to what he was seeing in his own practice.

    He took the shots. He asks me every year if I want a flu shot as I am certain he takes the flu shot. I decline every year. Just not a shot I find necessary. Like the Covid shot.

    I certainly did not choose my doctor because I want him to agree with me. I chose him because he goes beyond the standard archaic medicine so many doctors practice when it comes to healthcare. Especially when it comes to heart disease.

    So, in conclusion, he recommended that you take a shot and you declined. As such, your claim that doctors aren't recommending the shot is based on the anecdotal evidence of your doctor...recommending the shot.

    No.

    In conclusion. He was not going to recommend anything in September of 2021. I brought the subject up. To which he said the only shot he has confidence in was Moderna. He did say begrudgingly in his voice that he has to recommend I take it. I declined. Then within a couple of months multiple countries stopped giving Moderna to young healthy males. Pretty confident by then he would not have recommended it.

    But keep playing your game to seek yourself what you want to believe. The main point is that he was not even going to recommend anything in September of 2021. Now we are in May 2023 and Delta has been long gone.

    Doctors are not recommending these shots anymore. The shift began a long time ago. And now it is most for sure based on the data and what we see. The acceptance rate is abysmal!

    Ahh, he did recommend it, but only begrudgingly. Lol!

    And now he totally wouldn't. Nor would other doctors, despite how often they say that they do. Because you wish they won't. How to turn a fundamentally empirical question (are doctors recommending the vaccine) with a fairly simple methodology for answering (ask a large enough sample of randomly selected doctors if they are in a survey) and just declare yourself right. Again, this is the narcissism speaking. It isn't worth engaging, as it doesn't matter how much proper study on the question is done, it won't matter. Heck, the narcissism managed to turn your own doctor recommending it into evidence for how doctors don't recommend it. My point has been shown.

    I'd be willing to bet large sums of money that his doctor feels obligated to bring it up as the right thing, but knows that's going to result in messing up his scheduling for the rest of the day because of conversation he knows is going to ensue.

    And God knows everyone would rather drink bleach AND shove a light bulb up their butt rather than having to listen to that stream of bullshit in person.

    I understand you want to deflect from the point. But yes. My doctor was clearly on the early side. In September of 2021 based on data and what he was seeing he lost confidence in Pfizer and did not feel the need to discuss Covid. Shortly after the Moderna issues came to light. And now in 2023…very few doctors are recommending these shots. That is just reality.

    If you go to a doctor like that. I highly suggest you find a new one.

    But no. My doctor was navigating a bad situation the best he could. And he was clearly ahead of the game in September of 2021.
