Not directed at anyone in particular but someone on a past thread said to the effect if a baker is responsible to know every ingredient in his product is it not reasonable that a doctor know what is in meds/jabs given. It seems few doctors care to know even when terrible effects occur.

Way before covid, but after I was hospitalized for respiratory failure, I was given an inhalant. Besides death, one of the side effects was loss of voice or voice changes. I actually had that side effect and brought it to the attention of my doctor.

After saying I should not read the inserts because they were “confusing”, He said the problem was my throat was sore from intubation. I knew that wasn’t true as I could talk fine after intubation and prior to that stupid inhalant. All things considered, I told him if my life depended on the inhalant, I’d take it, if not, I’d rather not.

Asshole said” if you don’t want to take it, don’t take it”. So I ask again, “does my life depend on it (I was weighing the choices as we all should) He said the same thing. Take it or not. I chose not. That that was 5 years ago.

I stopped trusting doctors back then. After covid, I trust them less if that’s possible

As an addendum, I don’t even trust the inserts anymore. They are all the same, all generic.

I have seen Patients endure vocal chord damage upon extubation. It is rare but it can happens and can result in a measure of discomfort and a raspy voice. I don't personally recall anyone being permanently damaged, but it can happen.
