Anyone has suggestions about finding a doctor who will sign covid exemption?

[wireless]

I going to graduate school in a health career and need to get a covid shot. I'm pretty sure I have had it since I did everything I could to get it. Unfortunately my school requires a covid-19 vaccination. I would prefer not to get them considering the data that we have seen and the fact that I've almost certainly had it. Also, since it doesn't stop transmission, it seems the argument for protecting others isn't valid.

I have to train for mountain climbing this summer and I will be climbing a difficult route on Rainier + another local mountain for practice. That type of vigorous exercise and the covid vaccine has me concerned, since I am 31 and right about at the age of concern.

I travel to CA to see a doctor for another issue every 4-6 months, but he will not sign the documentation. Does anyone have experience getting a covid exemption or finding a doctor that does? Not going to this program isn't an option. Worst case scenario, I'll cancel my climbs and try to extend the time between both doses. I could probably extend them to about 6 weeks apart instead of 3.

I really don't want to get it, especially since they will almost certainly make me get boosters during my time in the program, meaning I could end up with 4 or 5 shots in just a few years. At 31, that seems incredibly unnecessary.

I hope you can find a doctor. Not going is an option. Your health is more important.

With an exemption would that prevent in person attendance?
Would think healthcare education requires in person labs, patient work etc.

It does not. It just means I am at risk of having serious side effects from a covid vaccine. I can still do everything that anyone else does.

I know all of the things I have to say to a doctor to get an exemption...I'm just having a hard time finding one who is on board.

I'm sort of accepting that I'll have to get one and cancel my climbing trips.

If you can't get the exemption, can you just get the J&J one and done shot? It's not ideal but at least you shouldn't have to get boosters.

boosters are required

It's a top 10 healthcare school in the country. Not going isn't really an option when I weigh the statistical risks using mitigation strategies (extend time between doses, do not do vigorous exercise, etc) against the fact that I have spent many years working hard for this

From what I heard, medical exemptions (if you can get 9ne) are almoat always invalidated. People have had better luck with religious exemptions.

The institution will require a conversation/contact info with spiritual leader, so not really possible.

Even if a medical delays the process and I end up with 2-3 shots instead of 4-6...that would be good.

Did you read what you wrote? Maybe I'm not understanding you, but you're considering injecting a substance into your body that you think may affect your ability to do certain physical activities... how could anyone think that that's a good idea?

[wireless]

Got it. I've looked at the data, including the stuff on this forum, and done a cost benefit analysis based on statistics. I'm really not here to debate if I should get it or not.

The list of young healthy "vaccinated" people dropping dead is growing every day. There is nothing worth risking ending your life (short of trying to save another life). I wish you luck in finding a provider willing to write a medical exemption.

You may not be able to find a doctor who will sign off as the only way/s a doctor might sign off for medical exemption is if you got the first dose and had a bad reaction.

However, could you let us know what school you are going to? These "mandates" oftentimes mention a religious and/or medical exemption.

If all else fails, you may be able to fight this legally. There are no FDA approved vials of covid vaccines available in usa. The FDA approval is for comirnaty, not biontech. There are no doses of comirnaty available in USA. Biontech is under emergency use auth.

Bro no matter what dont get the jab, its not even worth going to school for.

A 0.028% chance of getting myocarditis in the age group below me (higher than my age group) is not really a concern if I absolutely HAVE to get it, but I'd prefer not to, hence the question about anyone's experience with medical exemptions, not "should I get it or not".

I'm willing and hoping to climb mountains which much higher death rates (5%-30%). I've done the cost benefit analysis, considered how much work I've put in, and have weighed the quality of the school against the raw numbers. Thanks for the concern but I'm not really here to debate it.

I think he chose to go into healthcare many years before the covid hoax started...

I hope you do not get the jab. I will never be coerced. It's not just about my health, it is about my rights. I am not going to let anyone force me to inject some experimental poison into my body.
