I am an MD, PhD and I did vaccine research for over 15 years before I went back for my MD. I am an ID physician but still keep up on vaccine work since many of my long-time friends are still working in that area. The minute the vaccines were available, I thought they may have some limited use in people with several comorbidities and I was taken aback by the push by all governments worldwide to force people to take them under the guise that it would stop the pandemic. BTW, I was also skeptical that this was a pandemic since many of the patients we had that had adverse outcomes were patients that many of us felt would have similar outcomes with a bad flu. Anyway, our facility finally came around to mandating the vaccines on all staff especially staff that directly worked with patients. I lawyered up pretty fast because they could not answer basic questions about the vaccines. I spent over 20K but won and remained unvaccinated and working. What I do know now is that this was either 1) a money-making scheme by all governments, 2) or something else entirely. But when I saw patients who were vaccinated and boosted coming back in with COVID-19 at 90 days post-vaccination, I knew there were problems. One of our OBGYN physicians was about 7 months pregnant and she was coerced to get vaccinated she miscarried and the autopsy showed blood clots in the brain of the baby. She was devastated. I know that something is wrong but too many of my friends and colleagues are afraid to stand up since we have only one hospital in our city and their practices need to have privileges.
For whatever reason for the push to vaccinate. People need to pay for what has been done in the name of health care. We all deserve to lose the trust of our patients because too many of us did nothing and sat on the sidelines. I spoke up early and often and I lost my position on our MEC, and was disinvited from committees that I had been on for over 10 years. Further, my senior partner implied that I did not want to look like I was not a “team” player to the leadership at the facility.
