I was lucky my pharmacist didn't listen to my doctor when I showed up with a prescription for a misdiagnosed disease. Would have delayed getting effective treatment for a life threatening disease. If I'd read forums I could've spotted it too. Don't just listen to your doctor.

Was your doctor following clearly and rigorously established medical guidelines?

If you think your doctor has screwed up talk to another doctor or the pharmacist. That’s legit.

But deciding you need a vaccine the guidelines say you don’t is a different matter. That’s just drug seeking.

People close to me have died from cervical cancer, so I’d love to be part of abolishing it. And by following vaccine guidelines that’s exactly what I’m doing.

I encourage everyone else to follow the guidelines too - don’t home brew this shit!
