Addressing vaccine side effects? Do you understand how the immune system works and how differently people react to any drugs?? I gotta agree with the other guy and say you need to find another doctor. Idc what your phd is in, you explicitly stated you let a doctor talk you out of a vaccine that provides overwhelming benefits over risks. |

My doctor is an expert in giving advice to people based on her org's current recommendations. I also independently looked at what little information I could glean and don't see anything deeply wrong with her suggestion. I also can easily change my mind, and with a single trip to my normal pharmacist (twice in ~6 months) and get vaccinated at any time that I choose. I'm lucky enough that I can take 3 days of sick leave each time so I'm not trying to work while experiencing side effects (for example, I lost about 2-3 days of work when I had pneumo+flu vaccine a few years ago).
public health and vaccines is a complicated subject; I am no expert, but I can read into the literature and talk to people who work in the field. Please do not assume I am simply blindly following a mistaken doctor's suggestion.
