This shit makes my job harder, even though I'm not in the US.
Patients who refuse my suggestion of a COVID booster will consistently say something like: "I heard in the news that those vaccines killed people."
This becomes an entrenched idea I can't dislodge. Irresponsible reporting is to blame.

It's official: The CDC is no longer trustworthy.
Its website contradicts 40+ high-quality studies involving 5.6 MILLION people.
The reason? RFK Jr. is Health Secretary.

I need specialists to understand that if you tell the patient:
"I recommend a treatment... but your family doctor needs to start it."
...they will call my office *twice a day* in a panic about why your consult note hasn't arrived yet and why I haven't sent a Rx.
Please don't be that guy.
