Fluke event, but my brother-in-law’s dad died after his 3rd shot (within 8 hours due to a heart attack)… he was an otherwise healthy 55 year old man… I’ve had 3 shots but I’m done after hearing that…

It’s interesting because while I’m not saying believing in immunization is ‘drinking the kool aid’, universal vaccination regardless of circumstances seems a bit more fitting of ‘drinking the kool aid’ 😂

I am immune compromised due to medication I take. I discussed with my doctor and opted not to get it yet. Protection peaks at 4 weeks and then you are essentially back to pre 4th dose protection by 8 weeks. I also had a reaction to the first booster so because of this I am not racing out to get a 4th. My doctor agrees it is helpful if you time it right. Maybe right before summer travels? But based on my experience with 3rd does, the limited protection isn’t justifying the shot this time around. Personally I feel pretty good about 3 doses and the use of antivirals if needed.

Yes, I’m immunocompromised and my doctor recommended it. I just get vaccinated when it’s recommended by my doctor

Clearly this was just OP looking for confirmation as to why not to get something that really isn't a big deal.

It's just a shot. If you don't understand how basic immunology works you can just say "No. I prefer to act like a child - and also refuse to eat my vegetables".

My wife just got it, mostly because she’s about to give birth and we ideally wanted the new kid to have the antibodies.

Having the vaccine is a near-guarantee that if you get Covid, it will be an extremely minor case.

Trying not to be reactive here until my doctor calls, but… obviously can’t help it. My blood test today (28w) came back with results that are worrying me. My RBC and HCT are low (below the standard range) which would indicate slight anemia, but ferritin came back totally normal. This alone wouldn’t cause me too much concern, except that I have counts for NRBC, which seems like a bigger problem. Has anyone else gone through this?

Hi everyone. I need some advice. I’m doing some freelance work for a couple out of Los Angeles.

Great people! Thanks!

My confession is that I have seen the medical field change so much over the past 20 years, that it's unrecognizable in both good and bad ways. More people are leaving than staying, and I am worried the quality of care is dwindling. I try not to burden friends and family with some of the things I've seen recently, but the short version is that I'm no longer sure I have faith or trust in it myself.
