When you go to get your shot, ASK the person to aspirate first, to ensure that they’re not in a blood vessel by mistake. My brother did that following Dr John’s advice and the nurse said, “We don’t normally do that but I will, since you asked me. It’s not a problem.” So even if we can’t convince the authorities, we can ensure that we receive our own shots into the muscle.

@paperandmedals8316 I actually saw one being given while the person was in their car, but the nurse was chatting and never actually pushed the plunger, so the patient went home thinking they had received their dose when they hadn’t! This error comes from giving so many jabs that they’re on automatic mode and no longer thinking about what they’re doing. It made me wonder how many other false doses have been “given”!

@katyb2793 If they refuse, they’re not interested in you as a patient, they see you as a threat. Decline the injection if they refuse. It’s your heart, your body and your decision.

@vee6959 Decline the jab if they refuse. Then look for a place that agrees to aspirate.

@importantjohn And millions of vaccines are being given by staff in automatic mode, making them prone to errors. I saw one nurse forget to press the plunger and neither she nor the patient noticed!

@jerome_morrow It’s low until it happens to you as that rare patient and when you discover that all you had to do was ask them to aspirate, you’ll say, “Why didn’t anyone tell me that before I was vaccinated? Dr John is telling us so we can do something about it before more rare cases happen. Who would knowingly choose heart disease when you can avoid it!

@willgeorge5644 Does that seem logical to you? They’re just being stubborn. If they hadn’t agreed to aspirate, my brother would have declined to have it and gone elsewhere, but good training teaches them how, when and why to do it.

@karijaneify If you inject without aspirating, you have no way of knowing just where the needle tip is and there won’t be any immediate signs that you were in a blood vessel, so the patient goes home and is none the wiser. That’s why it’s important to ask then to aspirate, even if it’s only for your peace of mind! There’s no reason for them to refuse and if they do, just decline and go somewhere else.

@jbrook877 Why are you prepared to take the risk when a simple aspiration removes all doubt?
