âYou donât know my medical historyâ is right up there with âwe donât know whatâs in itâ on the idiot meter. 200 million people are vaxxed and not one has died from it. Lol anti-vax dipshits, completely out of patience for this fucking idiocy.

I see. So this non-profit, professional organization consisting of individuals who have devoted their lives to taking care of pregnant women just decided to knowingly give advice they thought to be suboptimal or even harmful to a certain subset of women.
Yeah, Iâm not buying that. Sounds a bit tinfoily to me.

That was not the point of the statement. Absent any complicating factors, the current recommendation by the appropriate boards to vaccinate. Please read it as a generic statement and not take it personally. Thank you.

Well, feel free to enlighten us. Youâve given us WFH. What else have you got? Iâm sure everyone would find it very educational to learn about various medical conditions which make the vaccine a bad idea for a pregnant woman. Or is this when you go full MTG and lecture us about HIPAA?

Yeah the data on pregnant women is pretty new according to google.
Actually just called my sister because I vaguely remember her telling me about it. Turns out she wasnât eligible yet anyways but her doctor told her since she doesnât work with the public she shouldnât worry about it.
I seriously donât understand why everyone is so mad.

No doubt there is a timing issue at play. Iâm not going to fault an individual OB/GYN for being cautious before that recommendation came down. But if the OB/GYN told the pregnant woman to wait, and sees the recommendation later (which they could not have possibly missed), then they absolutely need to be calling up that pregnant woman and giving her the most recent recommendations.
You donât think a doctor should consider medical history when making decisions?
Well if she wasnât eligible for the entire time she was pregnant, then I guess you could have lead with that.
And donât attack as a first attempt if you want to clear something up.
And that means all of us. Iâve certainly done it.

No, man. Itâs just these conversations all go the same way:
Antivaxxer: You donât know my medical history.
Rational person: Well, thatâs true. So what element of your medical history makes the vaccine contraindicated for you?
Antivaxxer: HIPAA violation! (Or insert bullshit reason of choice here. Youâre almost never getting a well-reasoned response here. If it were something like, âI have a documented allergy to X component in the vaccineâ, then they would have just said that instead of a the vague âYou donât know my medical historyâ).
I canât speak for everyone, but Iâm not mad. This is just how I talk.

This is not really a âclearing upâ issue. Itâs completely disingenuous to say âMy sisterâs doc recommended against vaccinationâ and then follow that up later with âitâs because she was never eligible for the vaccine in the first placeâ.
Now if he is suggesting that the doc would have made the exact same recommendation even if she was eligible (and that part is not clear), then the rest of the discussion (or attack as you put it) is appropriate.
This wasnât a conversation with an anti Vaxer. My sister is Vaxxed now and took/takes covid more serious than the majority of this forum.
Seems best to let this be and move on given itâs personal and none of us know this personâs medical history.

Sigh.
That was a response to your very generic statement of
You know perfectly well that no one actually thinks that.
Pretty sure Dan thinks Iâm the one attacking people. I think itâs because my avatar is yelling.
