I found not a single reliable online recommendation to not receive the vaccine. Everything I read said that those actively being treated as well as those on long term treatment and those in remission all should be vaccinated. Some situations such as high dose steroids made it likely the vaccine would be less protective than in a non-cancer patient.

No one said don't get it. You have survived as the more lethal forms of Covid seem to have left circulation and those continuing to be here are less likely to hospitalize or kill. Like most people who drive drunk, don't wear seat belts, and run stop signs, survival is not evidence of having made good choices.

Now ask that oncologist who said no, what is the reason, supported by the literature and expert opinion that lead that oncologist to tell you no and to continue to tell you no. Your originally posted question about whether you were at risk if mRNA was in a transfusion suggests to me that you have been getting really bad information about mRNA vaccines.

Agree again. Which is why I was wondering what the problem would be if some mRNA was received with a transfusion (Clearly a highly unlikely event)
