I really like my doctor. Yesterday he told me he was a Republican and he understands the politicization of Covid. But, he says he’s seeing with his own eyes that those of his patients who have been vaccinated are doing better than those who haven’t been vaccinated. He urged me to get the vaccine. (But I’m wondering if those patients have been set up to need booster shots for the remainder of their lives.)
I got a script for a Covid antibody test as I suspect I’ve already had it. Even if it comes back negative I won’t get the vaccination because I believe it’s not about the virus and the economic incentives are perverse and backwards. I’d like to see the entire government fired and built back with just those operations that make sense and are part of the constitutional mandate. Can that ever happen? Well, no. Not at this point. At most any one administration can clean the dust out of a few corners and rearrange the glassware on the mantlepiece.
If it hadn’t been for the hysterical reactions to Trump we might have just treated symptoms and reached herd immunity by now. As it is they’ve set it up so that we will forever need “booster” shots and now Pfizer has proposed a pill that must be taken daily. As Trump said, and I’m paraphrasing, it’s about making money now, not health.

Quite possible, especially if the shot produces a partial immunity which then overrides the body’s own mechanism for creating a more durable wide-spread covid immunity. Will the body treat the vaccine induced immunity as ‘good enough’ and therefor suppress generation of a more durable immunity? This is all unknown as the long term testing of the vaccine is happening now, in essence, using the entire world’s population as test subjects.
Doesn’t sound like your doctor is very informed beyond what the Alphabets want him to know.
The choice isn’t only between getting the jab and getting severely ill. If he isn’t recommending prophylaxis to people who can’t or won’t get the jab, he is not a doctor to whom I’d trust my life. I’m grateful our family doctor isn’t just waiting around to only begin treating unvaccinated patients with a vent and Remdesivir.
