“I’m Carly, a Cardiac Sonographer since 2013. Come September 30th, I will be terminated from my job for not getting the v—ine. I love my job. I love my career. I love my patients. But.... I love myself more. My decision hasn’t been influenced from what I’ve read, who I’ve listened too, a political party, a podcast or going down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. My decision has been made by what I’ve seen. The influx of patients dealing with brand new symptoms such as subdural hemorrhages, arrhythmias (a.fib, palpitations, tachycardia, etc), pericardial and pleural effusions, strokes, profuse bleeding, etc and connecting the dots that these patients all have one thing in common. The typical story goes “it all started after I received the v—ine ...' It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to take a step back and question what’s happening here. However - you would think it does. If a doctor gave you a brand new medication and a few days later after starting the new prescription you start experiencing symptoms that are new to you - your physician would change your medication.Why is this common critical thinking not happening now? Have we killed those brain cells by breathing in too much CO2? I mean, really. Where has the critical thinking gone? Where has our oath of “Do No Harm” gone? Why are so many people afraid to question something from a category that has ALWAYS taken 5-7 years to be medically approved until now?Have we placed on blinders because we are in such high hopes of a cure so we refuse to look anywhere other than perfection? Fear does a lot to people. Have you heard of fight or flight? I’m not here to sway your decision of getting the v—ins or not. I’m not here to judge your CHOICE on what you put into your body. But I am here to stand for F R E E D O M of choice and from my own experience . . . I choose NO.”#stopthemandate #choicematters
