Dare I say, you aren't teaching others via your second quote, your "teachings" there may/may not be true. You are expressing YOUR opinion. The vaccine isn't proven yet, it's been out less than 1 year. Every day new info, good and bad, becomes known. The vaccine is showing really good results, and some potentially bad results, but it definitely isn't proven yet. If it were, it would be fully approved by the FDA. Because you are a physician many folks will assume what you say is THE truth. There are physicians out there held in equal esteem, some deserving much more respect on the issue, who disagree w your opinion that this vaccine is proven or safe.
