Thank you! Kaiser won’t do tests of any kind. They’re useless.

I sure regret not sticking to my gut but I’m determined to fight. I have a lawyer and am constantly telling my coworkers that my lawyer has already sent our HR a letter stating that he represents me and all other employees who do not want to take the shots. Some have already taken their 5th but most say they’re stopping after their third. I have 2 and a few others only have 2. Not sure if theirs any staff with zero. I doubt it. It’s pretty dystopian here in NorCal, Commifornia. But there are 2 residents, among 350+, that aren’t vaxxed at all. It’s awesome cuz they never “caught” it and they have been healthy all the way through. They’re my controls, lol!

If you can afford it, there are reputable telemed clinics now with good doctors who will help you order and interpret your tests. I'm using one now for post menopausal health issues because my obgyn is like all the rest. Her attitude is hey you're old go dry up. Sorry no, now there are better options and I have other plans.

Yup. My mom is in her seventies,never goes to doctors unless she's actually sick and has tried other things first, and got a UTI which wouldn't go away after a few days, so she went. The doctor was more interested in getting her scheduled for an unnecessary hysterectomy than treating her actual symptoms. My mom was pissed that they even asked. And when she refused, they tried to get her to submit to neurological testing because she seemed twitchy...because she doesn't like wearing bras and isn't used to it, but always wears one to certain select out-of-house events such as a doctor's appointment! But no,a much simpler explanation for her twitching her shoulders at the uncomfortable and unusual sensation of the bra straps she rarely wears is she has deep neurological problems only a dozen or so prescription drugs can fix!

Years later,her eye doctor forces her to get a physical before he would sign off on cataract surgery,and they just kept running as many tests as they could trying to find something they could either prescribe to her or operate on (she's a unicorn--in her seventies and on zero prescriptions, they could not allow that to stand). All they managed to find is an indication she may have fatty liver,which they seemed disinterested in discussing and started pressing for even more tests so she put her foot down. When she went to look up fatty liver, she found out the only treatment is a change in diet and exercise, which is neither surgery nor patented drug and so they had no intention of pursuing it! Its not like the healthcare industry has anything to do with caring for patient health! Not unless the treatment involves expensive patented drugs with major side effects for which even more drugs can be prescribed!

So yeah...they're sociopaths and criminals.

What a great story, I love your Mom! Everything you describe I've seen happen, first to MY mother then to me. My mother had COPD and fought all the way. They'd try to dope her with Xanax or Ativan in the hospital during flare ups and she would palm the pills and lose them in the bedding till one of us could throw the stuff out. I contend she lived longer because she wasn't tractable.

My own experience is like your mother's. I'm 68 but healthy. I've had endless meds pushed at me whenever I allow "testing" triggered by a passing complaint or question I might have mentioned. I learned early on that it's best not to ask for help. Most recent thing was hot flashes from hell. Obgyn's solution: SSRIs or else go to an endocrine guy. SSRIs are hell-meds. So no. Went to online clinic, a good one. Test results: low estrogen. Duh. So now I'm supplementing with topical bioidenticals and 100% better no thanks to obgyn. Actually went back to her to tell her this. She said "but I still think you should go to an endocrinologist". Sorry, no, because I know where that will lead.

I think I had "it" in September'21 and this past July. "It" was no fun. "It" felt like a brand new manufactured bug designed to inflict damage. I'm glad for ivm because it stomped "it".
