>>16574058Two days ago I spent all morning unpacking antivax posts on this forum. Y'all are weird for sure. But last night I was bleeding from my eyes (barely, I had to rub my eyes quite a bit in order to get blood in my hands) and bleeding from my gums. There was a fair amount; my teeth were all bloody and I could taste blood even after thoroughly rinsing my mouth out.
I called the ambulance and the first question the paramedic asked me was, "are you vaccinated?" Hearing those words come out of his mouth shook my fucking world. Why does that matter? It was proven safe and effective. ZERO safety protocols were skipped. So why did the paramedic ask me this? My mental health took a serious nosedive at this moment. I ended up dismissing him as an uneducated newbie in the field. I started feeling a little better on the ride to the hospital because it turns out one of the EMTs watches House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, my two favorite shows, so we were shooting the shit for a little while (he was also a fan of Andor, which I think is hella overrated).
I get to the ER and the PA (hard enough to get an MD these days at the fucking hospital) walks into my room and I immediately became cheerful. I love doctors, they're so spirit lifting. You know what this mother fucker says to me within two minutes? "Are you vaccinated?" This left me feeling so fucking frustrated and I ended up leaving the hospital against medical advice, obviously with my anxiety through the roof.
My mental health has been in the trash since last night. Are even people in the medical field getting brainwashed by the Internet? I have an appointment with my doctor for next week who's an actual fucking MD and I'll see what he has to say. I can't believe the state of this world.
