You are frighteningly uninformed. You do not know what you are talking about. The vaccines do not cause any infection, viral or bacterial. Enlarged lymph nodes are a well documented and frequent reaction to the Covid vaccines. It is a REACTION, not an infection. The Minute Clinic gave you antibiotics because that is what you wanted, not what you needed. And yes, by taking antibiotics incorrectly and when they are not needed, you are definitely part of the problem and not part of the solution.

I am absolutely serious and I'm sure you know it. You are just looking for a reason to continue being ignorant. I am an M.D., a licensed physician, and I know what I am talking about.

tiffortat - I think you are getting "cause and effect" and coincidence a bit mixed up. The point is that you were told by the medical staff the first time that the tests came back negative for bacteria. Antibiotics only work with bacterial infections, so antibiotics did not clear up what could perhaps have been a viral infection but was far more likely to have been an entirely normal vaccine reaction. All the antibiotics would have done would be to knock off some of the good bacteria in your gut.

The time frames of two and three days that you are referring to are those that fit with your body mounting a reaction to the vaccine, and your body is doing exactly what it is supposed to do in order to provide you with immunity, and the timing of the antibiotics you took is purely coincidental with the infection "clearing up". If you had an infection and it was viral (as the medical staff told you it was) it would have cleared up even if you had only taken jellybabies or chocolate as "medicine". You will find this article explains the vaccine reactions and relevant time frames quite clearly.

As far as having a COVID test goes - the standard advice across most of the world is that if someone has symptoms which could be COVID then they should get tested - unfortunately, the level of cooperation with this advice is somewhat varied, especially amongst those who are still convinced that COVID is a hoax engineered to allow the world's population to be controlled!!!

Unfortunately my comment about being "part of the solution and not part of the problem" has been misread. I was referring to indiscriminate use of antibiotics without good reason - using them when there is no sound medical reason to do so contributes to the rise of superbugs and drug resistant bacteria.

In relation to "We’re all just guinea pigs right now anyway with this vaccine. The truth is that Kassidi Kurill and others have died being a part of the solution" - this is not correct. The vaccines were tested on hundreds of thousands of people before being given to what is now 100's of millions of the general population worldwide. The truth is that it is inevitable that there will be some coincidental deaths where people do die after getting vaccinated, but until there is solid evidence as to the cause/s of their deaths it is not wise or sensible to blame it on the vaccines - people are not dying by being "part of the COVID solution". Many more people will actually die from bacterial infections where there are no drugs that work because of indiscriminate use of antibiotics has allowed superbugs to develop than will die from being given a COVID vaccine.

Yes, I agree that all too often patients have to challenge some health care professionals in order to get appropriate care/treatment, and I have done this myself on occasions. In this instance though, the knowledge base tips in favour of well established expert opinions in relation to not using antibiotics where there is no clear requirement for them (did you read the article on the link I posted in my earlier comment?). Unfortunately, many health professionals don't have the time or energy to argue with patients who insist on being given antibiotics when they don't need them (and some patients get abusive if they don't get a script) so the docs give in rather than stand their ground. The perception that if you go to the doctor they give you some pills and all will be fine is still much too widespread.

Finally, congratulations on getting your vaccinations, in that matter you are definitely being part of the COVID solution
