• majority physicians decline covid shots

    From August Abolins@618:250/1.9 to All on Mon Aug 16 01:32:00 2021
    Hello All!

    "Of the 700 physicians responding to an internet survey by the
    Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), nearly
    60 percent said they were not "fully vaccinated" against COVID.

    "This contrasts with the claim by the American Medical
    association that 96 percent of practicing physicians are fully
    vaccinated. This was based on 300 respondents. Neither survey
    represents a random sample of all American physicians, but the
    AAPS survey shows that physician support for the mass injection
    campaign is far from unanimous.

    "It is wrong to call a person who declines a shot an 'anti-
    vaxxer,- states AAPS executive director Jane Orient, M.D.
    "Virtually no physicians are 'anti-antibiotics' or 'anti-
    surgery,' whereas all are opposed to treatments that they think
    are unnecessary, more likely to harm than to benefit an
    individual patient, or inadequately tested:'

    The AAPS survey also showed that 54 percent of phy-sician
    respondents were aware of patients suffering a "significant
    adverse reaction:' Of the unvaccinated physi-cians, 80 percent
    said "I believe risk of shots exceeds risk of disease," and 30%
    said "I already had COVID."

    Other reasons for declining the shot included unknown long-term
    effects, use of aborted fetal tissue, "it's experimental,"
    availability of effective early treat-ment, and reports of
    deaths and blood clots.

    Of 560 practicing physicians, 56 percent said they offered
    early treatment for COVID. Non-physicians were also invited to
    participate in the survey. Of some 5,300 total participants,
    2,548 vol-unteered comments about associated adverse effects of
    which they were aware. These included death, amputa-tion,
    paralysis, stillbirth, menstrual irregularities, blind ness,
    seizures, and heart issues. "Causality is not proven. However,
    many of these epi-sodes might have resulted in a huge product
    liability or malpractice award if they had occurred after a new
    drug", stated Dr. Orient. "Purveyors of these COVID products
    are protected against lawsuits:' The Association of American
    Physicians and Surgeons has represented physicians in all
    specialties since 1943. Its motto is omnia pro aegroto,
    everything for the patient.

    Somebody had to say this, and it was said. Well done, Jane.

    It is very tirying to see they are trying to lump vaccine scheptiks with common anti-vaxers or conspiracy nuts. Also, not surprising, but still, lame.

    The terms "the undecided", or "vaccine hesitant" are also
    thrown into the narrative.


    It is very tirying to see they are trying to lump vaccine
    scheptiks with common anti-vaxers or conspiracy nuts. Also,

    Trying? I'd say they have succeeded because even the main media
    continue to use those classifications for people not following
    what the gov't "experts" are recommending. Isn't there some
    "science" behind the notion that if a lie is repeated long
    enough, then it becomes the liar's reality? By then, no amount
    of persuation can pull them back into the real world?

    I'm just tired of hearing medical advice from politicians or
    their poster-child du jour instead of direct testimony or
    recommendations from virologists and immunologists. The lack
    of the latter seems suspicious to me.

    Occassionally the gov't makes reference to "our team of medical
    experts", but never mention anyone by name.
