So they found one doctor willing to play the part of useful idiot with her anecdotal stories.......makes me think of the perfect Jeopardy question:  "Give me Things That Didn't Happen for $500, Alex."   So for every story we got from this doctor I can provide a dozen instances of people getting very sick and some dying from having taken the vaccine.  In essence this isn't science or medicine, it is propaganda for the weak minded......and we can cut it both ways if you like.

Deciding on the taking the vaccine or not, which one to take and so on are highly dependent on the individual circumstances and should be done in consultation with your doctor.  The median age of those that die from the ChiCom Fauci virus is over age 75.  If you are older and/or have co-morbidities, to me it is a no-brainer to take the risk with the vaccine despite the significantly higher number of adverse reactions and deaths compared to other vaccines.  If you are younger and in good health it is a different risk management decision. 

If you are ignorant of the risks associated with the vaccines compared to the risk of an infection you have probably already gotten the vaccine.  If you live in a rural part of a state like Alabama and are younger and healthier the vaccine may not be worth the risk.  If you live in a more densely populated area it may be a different decision.  But what doesn't work and shouldn't work is to try to scare or shame people into making a potentially poor and possibly deadly health care decision.  The vast, vast majority of younger, healthier people that get the virus have no to mild symptoms and do not require hospitalization.  The same is true with those that get the vaccine....most of them have no to mild symptoms....but some have had their lives ruined and others have died.  It's all about risk management and people should be free to make decisions about whether the risk of the vaccine outweighs the risk of the virus.
