4 doctors have basically told me not to vaccinate. Some more explicit than others.

Like this post if you also got an answer from a normal, mainstream doc to not vaccinate (not some random guy on social media) and share below please.
Thanks!

Eta these doctors are generally very provax

My doctor said there is not enough information and we really don't know if there will be long term effects. He said he doesn't agree with doctors saying it is safe and you won't have long term effects because how do they know that for sure. He is a very experienced "normal" doctor. I trust what he says and have no reason to believe he isn't being truthful.

I asked 2 doctors in my community. Both are pro vax. Both said, they do not recommend it for covid recovered patients as they don't see a medical benefit however if I insist because I may lose my job they will give it to me.

Same. I was told they’re not seeing many hospitalizations and there are treatments available if needed.

Wish I could find an OB like this. Mine gave me a lecture, even after I told her I have antibodies, then said she's not going to discuss it any further. Banging head

I asked two doctors - both very popular doctors in the community and usually pro vaccine

One was very against it
The other one said he only recommends it to people who never had covid (and even then, he isn't pushing if they don't want it)

I got the shot. I tried to resist at first and lost my job (just about all the jobs in my area of expertise require you to be vaccinated). Without a paycheck I had to cut out my weekly therapy, my cleaning lady (I only have her a few hrs a week but I'm pregnant and the heavy cleaning is really hard for me so I really need it), and anything else that wasn't completely necessary.

I get depressed without structure and I love my job. So I finally decided although I really didn't want to take it, maybe the downsides outweigh the risks....I wasn't heading in a good direction (I was feeling depressed from being home all the time, I needed the cleaning help, and I really wasn't at a good enough place to stop therapy yet) Bh at least my old place was happy to take me back....I'm still not happy/comfortable that I took it, but what was done was done.... hopefully it will be fine....

Because I walked into the “Mall of Doctors” shopping for some advice and hit upon the phone doc, computer doc etc and had a discussion with them all.

I’m not sure why this is a question really, but ok I’ll answer:
Family doctor
OB
Another OB
Pulmonologist

People typically get multiple opinions when it comes to Healthcare. Every doctor has different opinions and different approaches. That is part of the reason why the vaccine mandates are so appalling. Healthcare is not one size fits all.

1 that was being ridiculous and literally harassing (and I didn’t even ask his advice). Can’t go in to too many details with my sn because I’ve shared this story irl.
Another doctor that suggested I get vaxxed as soon as I have the opportunity (this was back in end of dec 20 or early Jan 21) and then we had another discussion about it in feb. at that point I was actually ready to get vaxxed. I didn’t discuss it with this doctor recently, so don’t know if the advice would still be the same now.
