    My doctor advised me against getting the booster last week when I got my flu shot.

    Dude said he's seen too many anomalies in people who got it, and compared to his patients that have tested positive recently it wasn't worth the risk anymore.

      I'm assuming you started looking for a new doctor who is not a complete idiot.

        No I haven't. This guy has been honest with me and very careful in what he prescribes and I trust his approach.

        Don't get me wrong, I was one of the first in line for the vaccine and every booster after. I'm all for it. I'll still get my booster in the next few weeks, but he believes what he says and I'm not a doctor.

          I don't know man, he is either full of shit or he would be talking to the CDC about these "anomalies" instead of you. He also shouldn't be developing a conclusion based on his own personal experience since it's not statistically relevant and if true, doesn't account for any other commonality between the patients with "anomalies".
