Twice mentioned to my old GP. The doctor i was seeing was sort of an asshole to begin with, and both times he just sort of handwaved away my concerns, telling me something like ‘it tends to make everyone feel a little crappy but the severity is different for everyone’ and that was that.
I just got a new GP a couple months ago, and havent broached the subject with her yet. I have my next checkup in a couple weeks and intend to ask about it then. Im of moderate risk, im asthmatic, and have COPD, and i am around my elderly parents often enough that i get vaccinated for everything as a precaution, so it isnt my intention to not be vaccinated, the dread is just a real MF for me.
While I don't want to downplay your experience, I honestly can't imagine a doctor taking ~~anti-covid vax complaints~~ vaccine skepticism very seriously at this point, especially depending on delivery.
edit: the wording communicated something I did not intend. I am assuming everyone here is in good faith, was just trying to point out that there is not necessarily reason for doctors to think so or to hold up under this sort of sustained societal malice/indifference
Lmao, here in Florida our Surgeon General is antivax and they are very much not alone.
