I remember when vaccines were viewed as modern medical miracles. In the 1980s and 1990s Air Force we were pumped full of them. Remember those cute yellow accordion folded shot records? I was looking through my pile of nostalgic Air Force junk the other day and found mine. In 15 short years I had filled four completely and was most of the way through my fifth. A lot of Cholera and various colors of fever entries in there. I was even in one of the last groups to get the Small Pox shot. That was FUN! Of course there was the semi-annual Mandatory Flu Shot. (That is what the stamp actually said) I can't even imagine what the poor Aircrew Members are putting up with now. I guess this is one way to keep from paying all those military retirement pensions. Makes less work for the VA too. My cynicism is showing again.
I work at a large tertiary-care VA in the Midwest. I would guesstimate that about 98% of all of the elderly veterans that I see have had the primary series of C19. Probably 85% have had multiple subsequent boosters, flu, RSV, shingles, etc in the past 3 years. 😢
JuJu, I kind of avoid the Large VA Facilities if at all possible. The staff just seem too overrun. As a Vet, Thanks. I try to thank all the folks I meet at the VA who are helping me out. They don't have to work there. Sadly COVID 19(84) brought out the worst in a lot of people.
The VA I normally go to was fairly aggressive about getting us to raise our sleeves for the jab. To the point of threatening to suspend all of our benefits and making us re-apply for them. Thus, I took the first two. I have refused all of the rest of them. Thus far the threats to "cut me off" were hollow. I do hope we aren't ramping up to another round of "Mask Up or Care Denied". I'm certain the perpetual masking was not fun for the VA providers either.
That’s very kind of you! I’ve been there almost 25 years. To be honest, I never initially planned to stay there. But I do work with a great group of staff that truly care about the veterans we see (I work in ambulatory surgery) and I’ve been fortunate to develop long term relationships with many veterans over the years. They are, by far, a great group of people and I feel fortunate to be able to try to help in their needs. I was able to obtain approval for a religious exemption for C19. I have NEVER heard of our facility denying care or threatening anyone with limited care based upon their vaccination status, thankfully. But I don’t doubt that has been done at other facilities and the level of care amongst individual VAs varies greatly. Our section of 9 employees (not including 5 surgeons) decided to forego the re-instituted mask mandate for staff this time around (it went into effect again four months ago)....no one has ever said anything to us yet! The small battles and victories matter. I wish the best for you and sincerely appreciate your service.
My daughter had to get a hepatitis B vaccine booster to start medical school. She didn’t want to get it. She has so many allergies and is convinced that past vaccinations play a role. The CDC guidelines say to repeat the three-dose series. She insisted that her provider draw a new titre one month after a single booster and met the criteria required by her medical school. Her provider was furious with her at making her re-check. She’s exempt from the flu vaccine (develops hives) and has not had the C19. Her school did not require that (though was recommended of course) for at least the first two years. It may be required for her third/fourth years when she starts clinical rotations. She’s hoping that the momentum is far enough along at that point about C19 that it will no longer be required. If it is, she’ll have a tough choice to make. 😒
Oh, JuJu. I could just scream when I hear stories like this! If your daughter chooses to stay the course, as it were, I also pray that the momentum will be far enough along and the criminality exposed to the point that those attempting these forced interventions will back down...and face consequences.
Thank you so much! She knows how her Dad and I feel. Her boyfriend is also un-vaxxed. I pray that she’ll make the right decision if it comes to that and walk away. But the pressures and consequences will seem large and I hope that we’ve prepared her well enough to tolerate that storm if if happens. And she’s just one of all too many.
My niece already made that choice and walked away just as her med training began.
When "rules" are illogical, walk away and use your training to the Glory of God.
If anything, these past four years have created, developed, and strengthened the network of the capable. Why should we be slaves to the insurance companies?
Jennifer, Hep B was my ‘awakening’ as well. Got shingles from first shot, ‘faked’ the other 2....never got another one, voluntarily. Avoided them all while active duty in US Navy, and only got the ‘required’ Yellow Fever shot to goto Ghana on humanitarian trips! Never again! Noli Pareres! Do Not Comply! And, as 2SG says: They want you dead 💀
Let me guess, the shit for yellow fever and other shots given when traveling to foreign countries are not sterilizing? Is this another scam from big pharma? I’m betting that it is.
Not to get political, but I think if the Dems get in for another 4 years --they will feel they have the mandate to do whatever trips their trigger- things like the Digital IDs will happen. We will be forced to get the vaccines if you want to fly anywhere, draw your money out of the bank, collect Soc Sec, go to school.... about anything you can think of. They will have us by the balls or whatever. It is a scary thought, but they are close completing this in Europe right now. Look out in May, 2024, it could happen. Vote these idiots out!
I'm sorry to hear you had to endure this atrocity, Dr. Brown. I'm well into adulthood, ;);), but I hope I live long enough to see this whole paradigm overthrown and its perpetrators made to bear the consequences for their abuse and criminality.
Thanks-similar situation here w/Hep B shots req'd for Healthcare and then after-effects...Interested to know more about the Hep B shot effects...if you have info; will continue to explore...
I had to take the HepB shot before I started my surgical residency in 1993. In those bad old days they still used thimerosal as a preservative which amplified the vaccine's toxicity. After the first injection I was miserably ill and bedridden for two weeks with myalgias, fevers, fatigues and headache. My titer was high enough to avoid the subsequent shots, but I would rather have quit medicine than take the second shot. The best part was I had a prior documented allergy to thimerosal but they gave me the shot anyway. That was the last time I ever trusted anybody in the medical field. There are good clinicians out there, but there are too many cookbook doctors who just do what they are told even if it kills their patients (or themselves.).
Holy cow!!!! You got super sick from that vax!!!!!! It is crazy how many providers do not bother to look at allergies. I remember back in my ICU days we had a patient with an ibuprofen allergy of anaphylaxis. During the internal med team rounds, neither the resident nor the pharmacist rounding with them noticed the bright red allergy alert banner on the chart that said ibuprofen, ordered Celebrex for pain. 🤦🏼♀️. Ordered it and the pharmacy sent it up there! There was a big “kerfluffle” on the phone with a resident getting their a$$ chewed for ordering it and the pharmacist for allowing pharmacy to send it up.
In 2000, 24 yrs ago, Pediatrics actually published an article where Guyer, et al stated “Thus vaccination does not account for the impressive declines in mortality seen in the first half of the 20th century”. How far we’ve fallen in a 1/4 century!
1984 Federal Register vol 49, No. 107 stated “any possible doubts, whether or not well-founded, about the safety of the vaccine cannot be allowed to exist in view of the need to assure that the vaccine will continue to be used to the maximum extent consistent with the nations public health objectives“!!! This was specifically referring to Polio, but that mentality has been the predominant undertone in our Medical Industrial Complex for decades.
No wonder we find ourselves in this predicament currently! We have been lied to for decades, even centuries.
Sound advice. Until they have multi-arm, blinded clinical trials, that study longer term follow up data, all these vaccines should be removed from the market.
"the newer challenges of misinformation and loss of trust in public health exacerbate the issue, as does the seductive concept of 'medical freedom' now promoted by vaccine skeptics." - avert your gaze children.
They want us dead.
Or to rule over us while we subsist in mud huts.
Wouldn't the mud huts impact the climate adversely?
Like the folks doing this give a hoot about the environment. Besides, mud is a renewable resource.
Sorry, it was a joke. I forgot the emoji.

I'm old enough to either be murdered for my failure to comply to the narrative (like Pablo Gonzales) or see these criminals brought to justice.
Either way, God will sort them out.

NOLI PARERES! They want us all dead
Ever notice all they do is "pile on" more and more?
"In addition to"...
Man's answer to everything is another pill, another "vaccine", another treatment.
My motto is "stick with the basics".
Jesus said: "Follow Me" and that's all I need.
Yes, the sick have need of a doctor, but most people were not either sick or dying before this latest schedule appeared.
Sound advice. Until they have multi-arm, blinded clinical trials, that study longer term follow up data, all these vaccines should be removed from the market.
First it’s conditional,to keep your job or status. Second it’s law and you’re forced at gunpoint. Anarchy looks more attractive every day.

Have you looked into natural heavy metal chelaters like cilantro and chlorella for pulling out leftover adjuvants from the shots?
