What happened to the answer to my follow up question:

If a doctor declines to give a medical waiver, do you accept that decision? I’m assuming you do since they’re the experts.

A few bad doctors don’t spoil the whole bunch.

You edited your post after I replied. That’s what happened to your follow up question.

I trust my doctor and we have as good relationship so I don’t really see a situation where I would not accept their decision.

Ok, so another follow up. If you trust your doctor and he says it’s safe for you to get a vaccine and he believes it will protect your health, then you get it. Right?

It’s no one’s fault. Kara said that her daughter did not qualify for a medical exemption. I guess you’d label her an “anti-vaxxer”? There are a lot people you’d call “anti-vaxxers” who were “pro-vaxxers’” up until their kid had a bad reaction to a vaccine.

Depends.

Have you ever disagreed with your doctor on anything?

Have you ever had a bad reaction to a medication?

Well that’s super vague. It’s a simple question. Your doctor, who you say you trust and follow his advice, thinks you should get a vaccine in his educated and knowledgeable opinion in order to best protect your health. If it “depends”, what does it depend on??

Have you ever disagreed with your doctor about anything? Have you ever had a bad reaction to a medication? Sorry my answer is too vague for you but it really does depend. It’s called a doctor patient relationship for a reason. My doctor and I have a great relationship and I respect and trust her a ton. That doesn’t mean that everything she says goes.

Maybe you prefer a more paternal style when it comes to doctors? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12005343

Now I get it. You pay lip service to doctors making decisions about vaccine waivers until they say you should get a vaccine. Then you reserve the right to still refuse based on whatever criteria you deem appropriate. Makes the doctor’s opinion inconsequential. And makes any and all changes to the laws inconsequential as well. It’s not like you (and a bunch of folks like you) plan on following the guidelines or listening to your doctors advise on vaccines. You oppose the changes not because it’ll change your behavior, but because you don’t want to be hit with any downsides to that decision. You fear the loss of BS medical waivers because you’ll no longer be able to hide behind them.

You don’t believe it’s the educated and knowledgeable doctors who should decide, you believe the patient has the right to make the ultimate choice. I agree. But you also believe they then have the right to inflict that choice on society. I very much disagree. No one gets to decide for you and yet you want to decide for everyone.

If my doctor told me that she would not issue a waiver for a medical exemption, I would respect her decision and she would still be my doctor. I can however still refuse to get a vaccine. I don’t see the conflict in that.

This thread isn’t about me by the way.

You didn’t answer my questions.

What you are saying is you will not take a medication recommended by your doctor because you do not trust that recommendation, but you would trust her if she would provide a medical exemption for a condition not recognized to be a valid reason for it. Weird logic, if you ask me.

You’re totally twisting things. That’s not what I said.
