Thank you so much. The really sad thing is that doctors who are employees seemed to have forgotten that their encounters with patients are private. All that would have been necessary was to just not mention the vax OR if the patient asked to respond by saying that safety and efficacy have not yet been established. There would be no real need for the employer hospital to fire the doctor if it is not documented by the doctor.

EXAMPLE: My husband is a cardiologist and saw an airline pilot who asked "Doctor, what do you think of the shot?" His reply was "I don't think it is safe or effective." The patient was delighted to hear that. I compare it to my own encounter with a cardiologist at the same facility who said to me "I see that you are an antivaxer (not true as I have had every vax except for TB) and I highly recommend that you take the CV19 AND your yearly flu shot." He was shilling for the institution and the CDC and had a fund of knowledge well BELOW my own. I found it disgusting.
