I am a retired RN, and was increasingly skeptical of vaccines prior to COVID. As more and more of my nurse friends suffered vaccine related injuries to flu shots, as fully vaccinated patients were admitted with influenza -- my skepticism grew. I took care of an HIV+ patient who had Guillain Barre syndrome following a flu shot. I printed out the VAERS paperwork and placed it on the front of the patient's chart for his attending doctor to complete. His attending was an infectious disease specialist since the patient was HIV+. The paperwork stayed on his chart -- uncompleted -- until the patient left our unit.
The problems with ineffective vaccines, manipulated health statistics, unreported vaccine injuries and coercion of medical professionals to take vaccines has been going on for years -- it is just amplified with the COVID panic. Call me an anti-vaxxer. I wear the label proudly.
My company has been pushing the flu vax for years, A little bit of research into flu vaxxes convinced me to skip them. The CDC's own stats show they aren't that effective, and the every year component bothers me. I'm of the general opinion that things that might be harmful in small or occasional quantities can become so with repeated exposure. It might be worth it when I am several years older, but definitely not now.
