My last visit to a doctor was for a yearly checkup. They no longer did anything other than ask me had I thought about killing myself, was my sex life ok, do I want an Influenza shot, do I want a pneumonia shot, and you should be taking blood pressure and cholesterol pills because reasons and we don't care if it won't do anything for you because your condition is hereditary. Are you really sure you don't want viagra and antidepressants and pain pills?

They got rather unhappy that i didn't play ball with them on any of those, and I declined to schedule an appointment for next year.

But now, this new shot comes along and data is starting to get strange. I don't want it because I had the disease the natural way and it was a total non event other than some things now smell weird. Do I care? No.

Where is this going? Soon, I'll be at a point in my life where I'm told that I need MMR and Shingles and Tetanus again.

The medical industry has shown their hand, and I don't feel that I can trust any of them at this point. I've been called an anti-vaxxer because I don't want an EUA injection for something that's not even a concern for someone my age. (No, it wasn't approved in the USA, just a name-brand variant that isn't available yet.)

Do I plan on going to a doctor again? No.

I was called an anti-vaxxer. Well, congratulations. Now I am.

Whose fault is this? Well, mine for the decision. But I lay the blame (or praise) on the ones who called me that for making me really think about what all those shots do and what it means - and why I don't need any of them anymore.

Thank you.

Same here.
I was at a doctor, and the moment she mentioned a tetanus shot, all of the manipulations I saw during last year shot in front of my eyes, so I refused and left as fast as I could.

I used to be a STRONG supporter of near any vax, but what I saw is something that left a deep paranoia. And now, I cannot even see a doctor, since I don't believe they will treat me as anything but just another number on a sheet.

@LukeAlmighty @comradeagle even the most die hard normie pilled NPC brained libtards should at least start to raise an eyebrow after this whole experience
@meowski @LukeAlmighty

Yes, you would think so. But I know some who are so deep in the hole that they refuse to even look at the presented evidence.

I see posts in other places with people defending these shots with all their might. It's frightening to think there are people who would look at this dumpster fire and not even think "Hey, maybe I should get out of the smoke."
@LukeAlmighty @meowski

I'll take a look.

I get a giggle out of the term "Fauci Ouchi" every time I see it, even though I know this is literally a life and death situation.

>and experience a negative emotional reaction to the perception that there autonomy is being threatened
:risitas1: Yeah because nothing bad is happening, there absolutely no reason behind the word "psychological reactance" of why people would resist violent behavior.
Prism ? never heard of it ! you don't like prism ?! well that's a lot of psychological reactance !
I'm only a 4 minutes into this and I'm already laughing.
Of course some people just react the opposite just to spite the opposition, but some people react out of experience.

@mangeurdenuage @meowski @LukeAlmighty @comradeagle

even the videos description itself is pretty funny (and symptomatic):

> Why is is that some people refuse the Fauci Ouchie? Part of the answer likely lies in psychological reactance; our innate desire for freedom, autonomy, and just not wanting to be told what to do...which is why you should check out Hero Wars!
