I am at a lost for words. Actually close to tears - it is regarding my husband bloodwork.

UPDATE: Hubby had his dr appt on Tuesday. I was impressed with his doctor - hubby told me his doc told him he is not sure what is going on with him. Instead of sending him home with several meds, he is referring him for a Liver Ultrasound and a Specialist. He was not too concerned with his blood counts but since he is not sure what's going on with his weight lost and high blood counts, he is sending him for several test. Thank you all for your response. However, I have my suspension.

Sounds like you are on the right track. Hoping for a good outcome!

I think the doctor asking that is routine, consider the times we are living in now. I am très sûr the vaccine is not the cause.

The doctor did not ask him if he had the vaccine which doctors will not..why would they? Nothing they can do about it if that was the case. I am still a bit puzzled that you are sooooo sure its not the vaccine. I am not sure if it is or isn't. What I do know is he did not start having problems until he had the vaccine. We both have our beliefs and we are both right.

Yes, we meet again :ROFLMAO: Believe it or not, I keep a very open mind. Everyone has a right to their opinion and they do what is best for them. I already know the vaccine will not be good for me...as you know it was good for you, we both are right.

Here, you will be asked about the vaccine before you get past the front desk at a clinic or doctor's office. The doctor will ask you again if they don't see it in your records. Also here, the vaccination sites report your vaccination details to our state Department of Health, which maintains a site health care professionals may search to determine when you were vaccinated, which vaccine you got, and particulars about which lot numbers, etc. My details were already in my medical records by the time I went to see my doc in September. This is true for all vaccines here, not just covid.

There is more proof that Covid has left people with a lifetime of heart and lung problems, chronic fatigue syndrome, and amputations. Because the people who are suffering from these things are alive to tell us. And over 600,000 people died.

I was vaccinated in April. When I got that 2nd shot, I walked out of that medical center with the greatest relief. Relief that I would not get Covid and especially relief that I wouldn't pass it on to someone else and cause their death, or a long or a lifetime, of medial problems....or living with an amputation. Next month, I will get the booster shot.

Of course it's up to all of us to make the decision. But, if your news source is telling you not to get vaccinated or that getting vaccinated could cause problems, perhaps you should watch a different news network. Just to get a 2nd opinion.

You made a decision that felt right for you, as everyone should.

But FYI, vaccinated people can and do still get and spread Covid.

Except that getting it won't be as life threatening. And, even with the shot, we still need to wear a mask and practice safe distancing. This is never going to be over until everyone gets on the same page to fight it and end it. How many more people have to die?
 
There's also the VAERS database:

"VAERS is the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System put in place in 1990. It is a voluntary reporting system that has been estimated to account for only 1% (see the Lazarus Report) of vaccine injuries"

As of September 24, 2021, it shows 1,573,153 reports of Vaccine Adverse Events, including deaths, hospitalizations and other issues caused by the vaccine.

"Except that getting it won't be as life threatening."

Tell that to those who have died from a breakthrough infection of Covid after being fully vaccinated.
 
Our son had Covid-19 in March of 2020, he kept telling himself that he was only 59 so he wouldn't die, but he felt like he might his fever went to 104.6. We tried to get him some help, he tried to get some help all we heard was "stay home". He wouldn't let us anywhere near him. He had some bad reactions to all the vaccines he got as a kid, the worst was smallpox vaccine. Then after he joined the Army he told them he was allergic to especially the smallpox vaccine, So rather than take his word they tested him and told him that the vaccine would kill him. With all the other shots they would keep him in the hospital for a few hours to see how he reacted to it. The second worst was the flu vaccine.

I tell you all of that so you will know he avoids vaccines of all sorts. As soon as his age group was able he was there to get the Covid vaccine. I worried about it and called him often throughout the first few days. Darned if that was one shot that didn't bother him, other than a sore arm for a couple of days. He took the vaccine because he never wanted to get Covid-19 again! He is what they called a 'long hauler', everything he eats tastes like dirt, he has lost weight but still looks OK and slowly some of his taste buds seem to be coming back. It all still beats the heck out of having Covid!
 
"Fully vaccinated people are much less likely to die with Covid-19 than those who aren't, or have had only one dose, figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show.
Out of more than 51,000 Covid deaths in England between January and July 2021, only 256 occurred after two doses.
They were mostly people at very high risk from illness from Covid-19.
The figures show the high degree of protection from the vaccines against illness and death, the ONS said.
Some deaths after vaccination were always expected because vaccines are not 100% effective, and it takes a couple of weeks after your second dose to build the fullest protection."

There are always exceptions. Look at those who got Covid and didn't have any symptoms. We don't just get vaccinated to save ourselves. We are also trying not to pass it on to others.

Yes unfortunately that seems to be the case when there are those with closed minds. Most who have no problem with anyone getting vaccinated yet those who are vaccinated become irate even hostile to those not wishing to be vaccinated.

People who are vaccinated are uncertain about whether they made the right decision. They gain reassurance & confidence when others make the same decision. And those that make a different decision undermine their confidence that was shaky to begin with.

Your family and your son have been though a lot. I hope he gets better with each passing day. 🥰
Perhaps some are more inclined to get vaccinated because they have been touched by Covid in some way. My son's neighbors both died from Covid. They were a very sweet older couple. Broke my granddaughter's heart. And a friend of my daughter-in-law's had to have both of her feet amputated because of blood clots caused by Covid. Maybe I'm just more empathetic of others, but if there is a shot that can stop these tragedies, I want it.

I'm not uncertain in any way. I was in the first wave of those who were vaccinated. I put my name on several lists to get it and couldn't wait for my turn to come. I will be getting the booster in November. I want to do everything I can to help end this nightmare.

He is fine now, and even the dirt tasting food is getting better. We got our vaccinations before he did since DH is diabetic and I have COPD (that I earned but it is nasty).
