1/ For the benefit of everyone on Twitter, I’ve made a New Year’s Resolution to not share my opinions on politics or Covid this year. (So many Twitter drafts deleted already!) So instead of opinion, I’d like to share this anecdote.
2/ Last Friday, I went to my doctor for my annual tune-up. We talk candidly on many subjects, including Tesla. We even took a short excursion to Mars this time. Of course, on topics of medicine I will always defer to his opinion. And he had definite opinions on Covid.
3/ We talked about the effectiveness of wearing masks. We talked about the effectiveness of early treatment drugs. We talked about the level of risk for an average person. We talked about the level of risk for me in particular. We agreed on everything.
4/ So to my amazement, it seems that I’ve been able to parse reasonable info from the enormous amount of noise on media sources. On the topic of Covid vaccination, he asked my opinion first. I shared it along with my rationale. He smiled, nodded in agreement, and said “exactly”.
5/ I received my shingles vaccine and left the building.
