I had one of my follow up appointments with my cardiologist after being hospitalized with Covid last year - he was pretty pissed that I havent been vaccinated yet and tried to engage him in a conversation on it. When I told him I still have anti-bodies as well as T cell immunity, he said "that's fine but we still don't know how long either will protect you, especially against Omicron." So I then said "well, if we don't know how long anti-bodies and T cells protect you, then how do we know how long the shots will protect us, if at all."
At this point he got red faced and visibly annoyed and (surprisingly) said "we don't, which is why I think these shots will be as common as a flu shot." I then said you're probably correct but we don't go around wearing masks and shutting down schools and businesses over the flu.
At this point he told me to "just get the shot if you know whats good for you" said goodbye and left the room.
I'll be looking for a new cardiologist....
Interestingly, my brother sees a cardiologist twice a year, at a minimum, gets blood taken once a month as he’s on blood thinners, and says no one has even mentioned the “vaccine.” Weird, huh? I will note he’s on some kind of state sponsored free medical. Maybe they know it might mess you up and cost the state even more money while others with great insurance don’t have that problem. Comments welcome.
