I am just passing it on as another thought for some to think about. Personally, I was surprised to hear of any physician suggesting NOT getting a vaccination.
If my vaccination is only good for six months, I am thinking of taking my chances without a booster. I went a year without the vaccination. My choice and I figure that if anyone else is worried about me carrying the virus and exposing them, then they can wear a mask around me. They do not have to visit me if they are afraid, and I believe in social distancing anyway.
Physicians recommending against vaccinations does happen. My wife, for example, reacts pretty negatively to any drug: her last flu shot (actually, also her first--she almost never gets sick from anything) was pretty rough. She ended up with a very high fever, pneumonia, severe aching in her joints--the whole ball of wax. Her doctor told her in no uncertain terms to avoid vaccines.
