COVID-19: GP explains why she won't have vaccine but says she's not anti-vax

doctor I want to know why you won't have a vaccine I've looked at the risk benefit analysis like I do for all drugs that just come out on the market so naturally as soon as I drug any drug or vaccine comes on the market I would wait before I prescribe it or wait before I actually take it myself just to see what sort of you know side effects come out but also there are other issues like for myself I got covid I had some immunity and also I had some other illnesses so I might have some predisposing factor to be more likely to have a side effect for example our regular GP says you're being irresponsible by not having a vaccine I'd like you to reply to that please if you would there are many many irresponsible behaviors but we don't criticize other people for so for example the vascular surgery Ward is full of people maybe who smoke and we don't go about saying oh you're so irresponsible for smoking or you're on the liver transplant Ward and you have drunk alcohol we don't not treat people because of the decisions that they have made the issue is that the the covid crisis is picturing out I mean it's about good news yesterday that um the cases are going down and it looks like you know coming towards March you know Michael Gove said that we should live learn to live with covid if an 85 year old patient of yours came to see you and as a result of you not having been vaccinated they contracted covid from you with whatever effects that might have how would that make you feel they wouldn't necessarily have got it from me because I wouldn't necessarily be carrying kovid you don't know what my antibodies are like you don't know that I'm not less likely to carry covid it gives you some immunity if you have your vaccinations and your booster unless you're flying in the face of everything else that we've been told are you right and all the other doctors are wrong no you are likely to be more you are like to be safer if you have the boosters and vaccinations that's not the issue the issue is that even if you do you could still transmit the virus and if that's likely infected it not necessarily reduce the odds you reduce the odds you can reduce the odds but the point is is that people I'm worried that people are going to lose their jobs and the NHS is going to really suffer
