Wow. You give them less credit than I do. But if that’s the logic - they were wrong about one thing ergo they’re wrong about everything- why stop at vaccines? Aren’t they full of shit about chemotherapy and antibiotics too?

I think some of 'em do in fact take it that far.
I don't know if this is related but for my part, I absolutely treat doctors differently now. Used to be, you could talk to your GP about what was going on with you, there could be a back and forth and you both would figure something out for what to do. That shit's way over.
I picked up COVID again last week. I had a 103 fever and didn't sleep for days it was so fucked up. But because I didn't say the magic words, my doctor charged me $105 so that he could tell me to take Tylenol. Nothing I said after I missed the magic words could convince him I needed anything else. Tylenol. No "let's follow up to make sure you don't get bronchitis," nothing. Fucking Tylenol would solve everything.
I tried the Amazon teladoc instead right after the call, did say the magic words, and I had Paxlovid proscribed in 45 seconds. I picked it up in an hour.
The magic words were that I had tested myself for COVID 3 to 4 days ago. Not that I had been sick for days but tested myself today, and definitely not more than 5 days ago—"tested positive 3 to 4 days ago" were the magic fucking words.
I get that they're overworked and there's an incredibly massive and imposing bureaucratic system weighing down on them, but part of the problem with this anti-vaxx shit is that like a lot of other things, patients no longer have close relationships with their doctors. This creates more distrust.

n fairness to Ax, I do not think he was referring to Covid vaccines.
Fair enough.
The mortality (and morbidity) from COVID was really quite low.m
That’s right. And I do agree that the efficacy, let alone the necessity, of the vaccine for people under 16 is rightfully debatable. In 2022 the vaccinated teen did bring into the house, felt miserable for three days and was over it. Gave it to his vaccinated mother and she went down for five days, mostly fever chills and brain fog. Ten days later I had a scratchy throat, a bizarre nasal congestion that would disappear the moment I stood up but no fever or headache and symptoms disappeared entirely within three days. The teen brought the bug into the house exactly 14 days following my booster. I would say the booster did its job very goddamned efficiently
Anti vaxxers are full of shit and little more than ignorant rabble rousers.

Whoa, no, back it up. They weren’t just wrong, they deliberately misled and have even admitted as such on certain items. That’s a whole fucking world of difference. And it wasn’t just one thing.

As an aside, I got my annual Covid/Wuhan Plague booster today around 11 am. Pfizer this time, last year, it was Moderna.
As with past shots went home and felt the need for a nap. Put on some Jack DeJohnette and snoozed soundly till 1:15 pm.
Ready for the teen to bring the Wuflu home again in a couple weeks..
Had the white man flu shot last week.
It’s that time of year again.

Got mine also.

I cut out the middle man and just got COVID.

President-elect Donald Trump said that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would have a “big role in health care” within his administration and that he would allow Kennedy to “go wild” in his appointed position and “do pretty much what he wants.” And on Wednesday, Kennedy said he’d cut “entire departments” of the Food and Drug Administration.
and
Days before the election, Kennedy repeated unproven claims that “fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease” on X. He also said that “on January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water.”
