My last visit to a doctor was for a yearly checkup. They no longer did anything other than ask me had I thought about killing myself, was my sex life ok, do I want an Influenza shot, do I want a pneumonia shot, and you should be taking blood pressure and cholesterol pills because reasons and we don't care if it won't do anything for you because your condition is hereditary. Are you really sure you don't want viagra and antidepressants and pain pills?

They got rather unhappy that i didn't play ball with them on any of those, and I declined to schedule an appointment for next year.

But now, this new shot comes along and data is starting to get strange. I don't want it because I had the disease the natural way and it was a total non event other than some things now smell weird. Do I care? No.

Where is this going? Soon, I'll be at a point in my life where I'm told that I need MMR and Shingles and Tetanus again.

The medical industry has shown their hand, and I don't feel that I can trust any of them at this point. I've been called an anti-vaxxer because I don't want an EUA injection for something that's not even a concern for someone my age. (No, it wasn't approved in the USA, just a name-brand variant that isn't available yet.)

Do I plan on going to a doctor again? No.

I was called an anti-vaxxer. Well, congratulations. Now I am.

Whose fault is this? Well, mine for the decision. But I lay the blame (or praise) on the ones who called me that for making me really think about what all those shots do and what it means - and why I don't need any of them anymore.

Thank you.

dude, I was legit about to post almost an exact experience like this I had with my doc. Doc asks me if I had the vax yet... i say no... he asks well do you plan to get it... i say no. A look of disgust comes on his face. I ask him why should i get it? I'm completely healthy, not obese. He spouts off something about healthy people are dying now too. I ask him if he's in favor of forced vac. He proudly says YES. I keep my mouth shut and finish up the physical because I know there's no point in trying to rationalize with people like this.

I started thinking about this more that day. It really bothered me because I guarantee this doc was also one who prescribed opioids like candy back when the pharmaceutical companies were saying they were completely safe, not addictive. I came to the realization that I really can't trust my own doc. I'm going to find a holistic doctor around here. If I can't find one then I probably won't ever go to the doctor again. My grandfather never went to a doctor until he was in his late 80's and his body began dying.

Send her a Christmas card this year. The loony bitch will probably bleach her hands after touching it.

Any minimal trust has been destroyed here. I'm sure we'll see some whining in a couple years from all these idiots who leave their practice for lack of patients.

I guess I'm lucky because my doc didn't bring up the 'rona shit even once.

It’s a good thing you had that conversation with him. A doctor who doesn’t believe in bodily autonomy, who wants forced vaccinations, is a very dangerous one. Consent laws are a huge part of their job, if your doctor doesn’t understand them get out of there quick.
