The choice actually isn’t tough at all if you listen to your doctor instead of social media.

  As a clear example of the level of misinformation that persists among doctors, a 2015 Credit Suisse Foundation report found that 40% of nutritionists and 70% of general practitioners falsely believed eating cholesterol-rich food raises blood levels of cholesterol. This is despite it being proven otherwise over 35 years ago and repeatedly re-proven. https://www.credit-suisse.com/media/assets/corporate/docs/about-us/research/publications/csri-fat-the-new-health-paradigm.pdf https://www.credit-suisse.com/media/assets/corporate/docs/ab... You shouldn't believe randos on social media, but doctors are not some magically well informed class. Many of them are persistently misinformed and fail to update their priors.

  The thing is, doctors may have no idea about what the exact risks of those vaccines are. Suggestions coming from the top for most of them are to obviously just give out the vaccines, except for some very minor edge cases. Considering how much gaslighting reportedly vaccine injured have experienced from not just their relatives, but also doctors and others in medical communities, I do feel that many doctors may not have a good understanding of risk vs benefits on this one. Especially in the beginning of summer, there may be more awareness now, but plenty of cases where vaccine injured complain about what happened and doctors don't believe them or simply tell them they can't treat them as there's no official protocol for that.
