A survey of U.S. members of the American Academy of Ophthalmology shows that more than 96 percent are fully vaccinated...

"As data and science-driven individuals, it's not especially surprising that nearly all ophthalmologists are vaccinated," said David W. Parke II, MD, Academy CEO. "The data is clear, the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. It's also clear that getting as many Americans vaccinated as quickly as possible is the path out of this crisis. We encourage everyone to get vaccinated to reduce the risk of disease transmission and the emergence of new coronavirus variants."

Of the 8,000 members surveyed, 871 completed the online questionnaire. The survey was conducted from May 14 through June 8 and has a confidence level of 95 percent +/- 3 percent.

The honest ones are retiring.

We’re going to miss them.

[Sam Gamgee]

All I know is neither I my wife or kids are getting it until we know its absolutely safe. Yes, here in Canada the pressure is huge. Everyone telling us to do the right thing and get us AND our kids vaccinated. It’s like a cult right now.

Electronic medical records (EMRs) are a digital version of the paper charts in the clinician’s office. An EMR contains the medical and treatment history of the patients in one practice.

Search is purty ez...

Already much ink has been spilled labelling us anti-vaxxers for not wanting to shoot up our children with drugs.

[Sam Gamgee]

We are not ANTI anything. Stop with the propaganda. We just don’t think something that kills less than 1/10th of 1 percent is serious enough to run out and juice our kids.

There is going to be a shortage of ophthalmologists in a few years.

That’s the first thing I thought.

Get my eye exam and glasses done now.

[metmom]

How to lie with statistics.

[Old Yeller]

So they’re saying, expect a shortage of eye doctors in the future.

[metmom]

My friend’s father used to call them “college educated idiots.”.

[metmom]

Love your comments.

Or quite possibly a few less anti-vaccine holdouts, who find out the hard way.

If only Jesus Christ, his disciples, every person in the Bible, and history up to a few years ago, had only known about aborted fetal cell derived vaccines, they wouldn’t have died horrible pandemic deaths before toddlerhood.

Just had an annual exam and they asked if I wanted the jab.. I told her no.. Then she tried to get me to get a tetanus shot. I don’t recall a doctor’s office ever soliciting a tetanus shot for no good reason. Very curious indeed. 🤔

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Not better for me.. I have enough auto-immune and neurological issues already.

[USAF80]

They can never get past the animal trials.

[USAF80]

CDC states 6,000 died so far, EU is at 13,000, UK at 1,200.

Not sure about other countries without a vaccine reporting system but rough estimates are 150,000-200,000 dead so far. This is just in 6 months before the mass jabbing took place in March.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Never, ever confuse the level of education with the ability to think, discern, and have common sense.

Amen. The Dumbest people I know have college degrees.. and the smartest don't. Granted doctors need degrees in order to practice medicine.. and they are sometimes very good at it! But for the most part.. they are savants who don't know much about anything else.

[USAF80]

One of the side effects of the jabs is blindness. Something they don’t mention.

You think anyone will roll up their sleeves or allow their children to get jabbed if they knew one of the side effects could be an exploding retina or eardrum? Deafness is also one side effect.

“ I don’t recall a doctor’s office ever soliciting a tetanus shot for no good reason. Very curious indeed.

I’ve read practices are given financial incentives by Pharma companies, based on the percent of practice vaccinated…

I always think of Linus from “Peanuts,” when I see or hear about Ophthalmologists.

My 1st hubby and I-both W Texas ranch kids-learned from the adults how to insult a condescending ass**** without causing a full-on fight-you put on a phony smile and tell him/her thank you-it’s always interesting to meet someone educated beyond their intelligence. It was amazing to see most of those folks just look like a deer in the headlights as you walked away...
