Just remember folks!!! Please do not lump us all together. I am a pharmacist working in a large chain retail pharmacy and I NEVER GAVE ONE SINGLE COVID SHOT TO ANYONE. I was even begged multiple times but I refused. If anyone asked my opinion about them they got the truth from me which was I wasn't going to get one and neither should they. If they wanted more info (why) I gave them more. I tried to talk family and friends out of getting them with limited success and none of my saves have ever said they regretted not getting the shot!! Plenty said they did regret getting one but a lot fewer than I would think. Most walk around thinking "I turned out okay" and not knowing if there could be something seriously wrong. I have seen a lot of damage. Just told an elderly patient last week who had a list of complaints (I gave some med change suggestions) and her last but most concerning was her hair was just falling out of her head like crazy which has never happened before. I asked if she had gotten all her covid shots and she said she did. I said Ms (name), please don't get any more of those things. They did not do the work they are supposed to do making sure it won't hurt people and they honestly have no idea what will happen to people. You are not the only person who has had this reaction from these shots. She very politely thanked me for telling her the truth and said she sure would follow my advice. Now, I talk to her at least once or twice a month and she knows me from my working there so long so she trusts me. She said she wishes she had asked me about them first and I told her I would always tell her the truth. And that is how I practice pharmacy, always have and always will.
