One quibble: OB would be either put a game cam on it...use tannerite on it or make sure you look into every aspect of the DR'S life to make sure he isn't the hardest working man in the medical business

Just to jump on the doc's defense he has probably had several patients die to COVID and prefers you to not die from COVID as well. I know it is shocking but most docs actually care about their patients.

I don't press people on vaccines for COVID or anything else. I tell them what I recommend and what the ACIP recommends and give them what they want. I am not going to change their vaccine faith decisions in 10 minutes anyway just a waste of both parties time.

I seriously doubt this is the case. I normally like your posts and think you're a solid professional contributor on the COVID topic, but this is silly.

The chances of a family practitioner having multiple patients/customers die of COVID is remote.

I went to the doctor a few days ago for something unrelated to COVID-19. However, I got a 10 minute lecture on why I need to get the COVID-19 vaccine during my appointment. My doctor even tried to guilt me into getting it by saying that I need to get vaccinated so old people who are high risk do not get sick from me. My doctor also tried to scare me by saying COVID-19 has a 1/100 risk of death. I said the last time I checked, the COVID-19 death rate was much less than 1%, especially for someone my age. Other points of conversation included that I needed to get the vaccine to keep medical workers like my doctor safe. Um, hello? I wasn't the one who made you become a doctor. You knew the risks going into your profession.

Are all doctors doing this BS now? I'm going to look for a new doctor.
It's part of a doctor's job to give you medical advice. Just because you don't agree with it, or refuse to take it, doesn't mean he's wrong nor that he shouldn't try do his job as best he sees it.

If you turn out to be one of the unlucky ones that the damn virus kills, or it gives you long-term complications, or you pass it to some vulnerable person, his conscience is clear.

The horror of it all. Your doctor recommended to you a vaccine that nearly 100% prevents serious disease and or death due to a currently circulating infectious disease. What is the medical profession coming to?

Weird how all these guys with years of medical training and practice give you medical advice and you ignore it. The real pandemic here is the plague of ignorant doctors giving out bogus medical advice. Any person who does his research would know these legions of doctors are all dumb, misinformed or agents of the deep state.

Did you ask him to explain how people are dying of the Pfizer vaccine such as my friend's mom we are burying tomorrow?

And it was her doctor that recommended she get it. He killed her.


I demand to know her entire medical history and just for the record I completely don't believe you anyway. She probably just had pneumonia or had a heart attack. She was probably on the brink of death just before getting the vaccine. Clearly she died with the vaccine and not because of it. All of these personal anecdotes and data figures are completely made up, so long as they do not go against my preexisting beliefs. [/politicsboard]

It's not their job to use scare tactics using bad statistics to coax you into getting a vaccine. In fact, I would say it is unethical.

Next time I go in for a check up I fully expect to be told I should get a covid shot, just like I'm told I should get a flu shot. That's normal and expected advice.

Anything beyond that, unless the doc has a specific medical concern with the client, is cause for concern. If I go to the doctor and I'm seriously urged like OP was to get the covid shot, I'd find another doctor.

"Bad statistics"? Hmmmm, whose statistics should one believe? The overwhelming consensus of the medical community of Johnny Facebook, with no medical training? Tough choice. I know when I was diagnosed with cancer I was flaming mad about all the bad stats my oncologist was telling me. Folfox? That's for suckers.

1/100 do not die from COVID. Even an elementary level understanding of math will tell you that the death rate is not 1/100. FAR from it.

That's not being blunt though. He's actually lying and using bad statistics to coax someone into making a personal medical decision. That's unethical.

Pander to patients? They are pandering to the vaccine corporations.

Doctors should be educating patients the pros AND cons of a vaccine that wasn't properly tested and approved like normal. The American public deserves the factual information so they can make an informed decision.

I went earlier this week for yearly checkup. He asked me if I was vaccinated, I told him no I had the real deal already. He spent maybe 3-5 seconds about the vaccine and said they offered it. Then moved on to the next subject.

What are you even talking about? The readily available statistics provided by the CDC and every government entity known to man says that the death rate is far lower than 1/100. For most people, the death rate is almost zero. I can't tell if you're being serious.

My doctor did the same thing a little over a month ago when I went in for a wellness check. I have been friends with this physician for over 20 years. He also tried to talk me in to getting it since I work in healthcare.
Same. My wellness check Dr. said he was not getting the vaccine and that his Dad in his 90s was not getting a COVID vaccine either.

He did highly recommend that I get the Shingrix shingles vaccine which I got the first dose of that day.


Please tell me about the shingles vaccine.

Because I agree that Trump mishandled the pandemic. I genuinely don't think I've seen anyone on this board defend his handling of the pandemic for, at least, months. Yet you act like you're posting the perfect gotcha every time the topic comes up.

The real problem and the annoying thing is that you never go further into your viewpoints than "we should really blame ourselves for not holding Trump and conservatives accountable."

That's why you get accused of being a lib on this topic even though I think you're actually more conservative/libertarian with a tired old schtick.

EDIT: I'm probably one of the more outspoken supporters here for primarying Abbott as a result of his pandemic response. I'm as pissed off at republicans as I am at democrats.

You're arguing like a first year law student. One poster spouted at that 1/100 stat. He is most likely lying or misheard. No medical professional would state that Covid has an overall 1% mortality rate. It's lower than that.

Putting that aside, there are multiple reports of docs recommending the vaccine. Stop clinging to a single data point as the basis for your entire position.

It was literally the original post in the thread. It's the post that we are talking about. We are talking about that doctor providing faulty data to coax someone into making a personal medical decision and how, I believe, it is unethical to do that. It's not right to scare people into making a personal medical decision.

We have medical "professionals" advising masks and other, proven ineffective actions all of the time, why not totally fabricated data?

The truth, that even I knew on day one, is out now after over 15 months of this lunacy.
