Look, I'm just a dopey reporter. And, of course, you shouldn't take my word when it comes to getting a vaccine

If you're nervous... or just somewhat inquisitive...

... of course...

...ask a doctor.

But here's the thing...

(MORE)

DO NOT BE SURPRISED when that doctor tells you to get the vaccine.

Doctors have overwhelmingly elected to get the vaccine themselves. How overwhelmingly?

96% seems pretty high. Right?

Here's the thing...

Of course you should ask your doctor... but when people keep bringing this subject it up...

it smacks of a red herring.

I see it... over and over and over and over in my feed.

these are some of the same people who have jumped on my feed... at every opportunity to try to instill doubt in people.

Honestly... so much of this unfounded doubt has caused millions to NOT GET VACCINATED.

And guess what? Some of those people will get sick and some will die

So... here's the deal...

Don't rely on me to get a vaccine... Don't rely on an anchor or a politician... or whomever....

we're mostly dopes.

But doctors... they seem to think the vaccines work... so much so they've elected to put it in their own bodies

And yeah, there are a few, very specific reasons why you might not want to get a vaccine

Here's what the CDC has to say on that

But let's stop with this "Chris, why don't you tell people to ask their doctor" argument

I'm officially going on record... Ask your doctor if you still have doubt

Keep saying it to me from now on, and I will remain convinced you don't get a cr-p what a doctor might tell someone
