This is my story.
It is complicated because my DLBCL lymphoma returned in 2019 before COVID.
I got COVID twice.
First time, summer of 2021, I was not vaccinated.
It was not my choice; there were rules about COVID vaccinations and CAR-T treatment for lymphoma.
Unfortunately, CAR-T still failed to produce complete remission.
Second time was in November 2022, I had been vaccinated in September 2022.
I had developed COVID pneumonia and required hospitalization.
I was undergoing maintenance treatments of Monjuvi for lymphoma.
I had achieved complete remission in August 2022.
I am still receiving maintenance treatments of lymphoma.
Also, my doctor recommends COVID vaccinations but they changed their policy.
I no longer receive the vaccinations the same day as treatment, like I did in September 2022.
Doctor feels that efficacy of vaccination is compromised when I receive treatment that suppresses my immune system on the same day,
Trump got his booster shots in private. Never in public like Biden or Harris.
He once tried to boast he got them to his base but was booed.
He also bragged that COVID vaccines saved lives.
Plus, Trump was not happy that he did not get the credit he felt he deserved

No amount of evidence will know convince Trump that vaccines save lives.
Trump is not concerned about anybody's health.
For example, ACA saved my life. Trump tried to repeal the law.
When lymphoma returned in 2019, I went through 4 different treatments over 2 years; all failed.
ACA provided me the opportunity to try a fifth treatment with ACA banning lifetime limits.
Trump could have pursued a different legacy; pushing for mRNA vaccines as treatment for cancer.
It is already being used in trials of pancreatic cancer.
But RFK Jr is the wrong person to be head of HHS for such an endeavor.
Plus, Trump would never do that because he felt did not get the credit he felt he deserved before.
