There is something that is opposite of vaccine hesitancy and its vaccine zealotry

The idea that you would take medication from someone off the street is, to me, insane

But to advise other people or encourage them to forgo consulting a doctor is downright wrong

im not implying a vaccine center is a back alley drug market, im saying you pulled up and stuck your arm out the window for someone you dont know who doesnt know your medical history

but more importantly you can just call your doctor

"hey doc, what should I do to stay safe in regards to COVID?"

Doc: "Vaccine should be fine. let me know how you feel after the first day and make sure they monitor you for up to 15 minutes after the shot"

many people had bad reactions and were told not to get the 2nd shot

Doc could say

"You know I'm worried about your previous reaction to X medication. I'd advise you to wait a bit"

My complaint are the non qualified people saying "just go do it"

And then the people who react negatively to me when Im like "eyy just ask a doctor first"

Vaccine zealotry

people are like

"lol but the doc will say just do it!"

Yea most of the time so whats the fucking problem????
