That GP needs to lose their license to practice, if so required. He/She apparently doesn't understand the virus has much more serious side effects, like blood clots, lung damage, and, oh, I don't know, death. Makes you wonder what else he/she don't accept that everyone else in the profession does.

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.Medicinal treatments falls in the realm of managing risk. Some treatments are better than others, depending on the patient. Side effects of treatments are weighed against the benefits of those treatments. Vaccines are no different. But, grossly mismanaging risk, such as thinking the possible side effects of COVID-19, like death or "long haulers" issues, are less than the risks of the vaccine is just insane, as both are very well documented and we continue to build more of that documentation as time goes on. Ignoring, or mistrust, of that documentation shows a glaring misunderstanding of the basics of both disease, vaccines, and the medical community as a whole, putting people at even more risk. At that point, you are no longer part of the solution, but an active contributor to the problem. So yeah, if you're going to completely ignore all the data we have to date on this, you don't deserve to keep your license.

Dave KreskowiakI'm sure it's easy to find a doctor who'll give you a vaccine if this one won't. COVID-19 has primarily been a risk to the elderly and those with serious health issues. Now vaccines with new technologies have been rushed to market. Maybe this doctor decided that, at this point, it's not worth it for many people. We don't know the details, so it's unfortunate that you're ready to condemn someone who has evidently practiced medicine to this point under whatever requirements are in place. I don't even know what to make of this whole situation. It often approaches religious fervor, and opinions of professionals who disagree with the efficacy of various mandates, including lockdowns, social distancing, and masks, have been routinely suppressed and censored.

You are correct. We don't know all the details of that GP's position. That's why writing it up for peer review is so damn important.

The opinions of merit in this case of those of epidemiologists and virologists. GP's don't have the experience or the research behind their disconnected opinions that the people who specialize in these fields do. If a GP has doubts about the virus or vaccines, these are the people they go consult with for advice, complete with their documentation to back up what they say.

It's the "top doctor" in your government who aggregates all of the papers and research on the subject and is the one with the job of presenting that consensus and recommendations for mitigation on a national level. Doctors and nurses on social media are NOT a valid source of medical advice. At this point, a single GP's opinion does NOT override the opinion of your "top doc" in the government. Think about it.

The "top doctor" is a bureaucrat beholden to politics, and there's a lot of that when it comes to this, far more than "right-wing bullshit". I'm not talking about anecdotal stuff from nurses or GPs being suppressed, but the opinions of the types of professionals you mention. There's an unwillingness to debate or answer criticism, not to mention intolerance--to put it mildly--for those who question what others deem "settled science". I'm aware that mRNA vaccines have been in the works for many years, and even got a Nobel Prize I believe. But this is the first deployment, and FDA approval was for emergency use. It has yet to receive normal approval. That's just more bureaucracy to me, but it might have import for you.

"I fear (or have doubts about) the vaccine because it's new and doesn't have full FDA approval." Normal approval still has to go through human trials, like it did last year, and all the data that's generated has to be submitted for "full approval", which takes another year. So, with the virus still running around, still killing people, AND STILL GENERATING MUTATIONS, do you really want to wait another year?

Today is the first anniversary of our positive Covid test - hard to believe that it's been a whole year already, isn't it? Anyway, a short update on how we are a year from "confirmation": I'm OK - a bit down on "total energy" than I was, I still get tired a lot faster than I used to; my hair is growing back, but it's in that "stupid length" phase when it won't fit in the pony yet, but I can't "tidy it up" because I want to grow back to full length! Herself is not so good: the Covid has either caused or exacerbated emphysema (she smoked when young, but hasn't touched a cigarette in over 25 years, but had no known symptoms before the infection) and now has 6 "portable" O2 bottles, one big "Emergency" O2 bottle, and a oxygen concentrator which she used pretty much all the time she is awake in the house. Bloody noisy thing too - but I can't hear it too much in my office, unlike when I'm sharing a sofa with her ... She's had both her jabs, I'm waiting for an appointment for my second. I not trying to get into the "it's a bad cold" / "it's a killer" or the "have the jab" / "the jab tracks you" debate, just thought I'd let you know the view from a year after catching it. Still wearing masks, still washing hands, still wearing disposable Nitrile glove to go shopping ... still don;t want to spread it to anyone even inadvertently!

The only difference between the requirements for emergency and permanent approval is that the latter requires several years of followup so we know how long the shot will provide protection for.

So, immunology expert, tell me how easy it is to come up with a vaccine that attacks the very mechanism that a vaccine needs to work to defeat HIV. He's not the only one that is working on this. There's tens of thousands of people working that problem, but yeah, put it all on just him. "As a physician with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Fauci has served the American public health sector in various capacities for more than 50 years, and has acted as an advisor to every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan.[1] He became director of the NIAID in 1984 and has made contributions to HIV/AIDS research and other immunodeficiency diseases, both as a research scientist and as the head of the NIAID.[2] From 1983 to 2002, Fauci was one of the world's most frequently-cited scientists across all scientific journals.[2] In 2008, President George W. Bush awarded Fauci the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States, for his work on the AIDS relief program PEPFAR.[3]" Name the only president in the last 50 years to shit on Fauci and his reputation. As for net worth, who gives a shit? You think his only source of income is a government job? You mean you don't have multiple sources of income? I do. How much money are you going to be sitting on at 80 years old?

To play the devils advocate - maybe they're not kitted out to handle the more potentially lethal side effects. If they have one of the severe but treatable reactions and someone dies who could have been saved with appropriate medical treatment, well I could understand someone wanting to avoid putting themselves in that situation. Actually last time I cut myself while gardening I went to a GP to get a Tetanus shot, and the first GP I stopped in at didn't even do Tetanus vaccines because they weren't properly equipped to handle severe allergic reactions.
The handling requirements for some of the new vaccines could be contributory. I received my shots at a large drug store chain. From the online signup, scheduling logistics, etc. I could see where a practice with a single or just a few physicians might not have the capacity to deliver the new vaccines in a timely fashion. Even good olde flu vaccines have just a few weeks of shelf life.

Many scientific papers were available and the results were amazing. It didn't see the light of day in the US, because who would want a cheap and effective remedy that was available right then and there? All of them were working to suppress news about HCQ, and the usefull idiots chanted right along. Lot of people died because of it. That is on Fauci, and his fellow travelers.

That is not true at all. SOME studies showed SOME effectiveness, not could not be reliably duplicated. The only point where HCQ was shown to have an impact was in outpatient settings with early detection of COVID.
Member 12924312 wrote:

And a lot of people died using it. If you were bad enough to be in the hospital with COVID, it did little to nothing at all. On top of that, treating everyone for COVID with HCQ would have exhausted the world supply of it, putting far more patients WITHOUT COVID in much greater danger, like people with lupus, RA, malaria, and more. There are plenty of patients like these that have to take it every day or suffer things like permanent organ damage. There's far more to it than your conspiracy theory bullshit will allow for. I suggest you drop that crap, because it makes you look like a whining child who cannot see the world beyond your conspiracies.

Dave KreskowiakIt was a political effort in the US to suppress the news surrounding HCQ treatment protocol. The effectiveness of early stage treatment was pretty good. The usefull idiots were primed to chant "but it is not tested on Covid", and they did. A study was done here in the US strangely mostly on patients who were late stage. The study got a lot of news in the media, but the context of what patients had been treated was not headlined. The general public knew nothing more. Some doctors in the US had treated over 600 patients with none dying. They tried to get the news out, and were largely ignored, except for efforts to pressure their employers to fire them. Here is the thing, there was nothing in the hands of doctors except ventillators (well so they said at least). But there was a 40 year history of HCQ use all over the world. The stuff is dirt cheap. Ivermectin another component in the treatment protocol also dirt cheap, it would have been easy to divert production for human applications as it is used as a dewormer in animals (no subscription). And the beauty of it is, the everyone can make it, and it was mostly produced in 3rd world countries. It would have been easy to ramp up production in weeks, maybe months. But that didn't happen. It was made unavailable by all means necessary. It it still isn't today, not in the US at least. People died because of politics.
