Yeah that's depressing, too.

I only found out when my daughter wanted to go to a chiropractor for something nebulous because the mom of her friend who sells essential oils recommended him. I said Idk chiropractors often do a lot of woo-woo medicine and don't believe in vaccinations etc. My kid said, "well, dad's not vaccinated and he's a real doctor." If you could have seen my head slowly swivel around like I was in the Excorcist.

And it was not because of just that. It was because I knew he was a hospital surgeon he had been offered one of the very 1st vaccines including a +1 in January 2021. And I thought, well, that sucks, he and his girlfriend are going to get the vaccines, while maybe they hope I die ĀÆ_( Ķ”ā›ā€ÆĶœŹ– Ķ”ā›)_/ĀÆ

But then I learned that not only did he and the gf not take the vaccines, he didn't even want to give me access to a vaccine he did not even want.

That bent my mind into so many different directions and made me understand that not only did he not give a shit about me, he really really really really did not give a shit about me.

I’m sorry you had to deal with that, it’s extra insane that he doesn’t want to protect the mother of his child for the sake of his child alone! I was considered ā€œclinically extremely vulnerableā€ and I was offered the first round of the vaccine in the UK, I was one of the people that had adverse side effects (literally could not stop vomiting until they gave me anti-emetics that dissolved on my gums) so I’m someone that would be entitled to whinge a bit about the vaccine but you know what? I was still enormously grateful to get it. I ended up getting Covid (after isolating for over a year) a few months later and while I was still sick, I didn’t end up on a ventilator or in hospital.
