Village Apothecary — Local services in Town of Woodstock

Went today for my first covid vaccine, and things seemed terribly disorganized. First, I was greeted by a person just inside the door who was checking in vaccine customers, she asked for my vaccination card. After telling her that I didn't have one since this is my first dose, I got a dirty look, and handed a form to fill out. I was sent over to a corner of the store with at least five others filling out paperwork. This small corner was nowhere near an adequate space for the number of people expected to occupy it. On the opposite end of the store was the area where vaccines were being administered. As each person was called over to the chair, I could easily hear all of their personal info being announced- name, birthday, vaccine chosen, and whether it was a first dose, booster, etc. No attempt at privacy whatsoever. I could tell you about at least 8 people who I have never met because of this. Finally, a good twenty minutes past my appointment time, was my turn to head over toward the area where the actual shots were given. Dr. Smaller was the one to check me in. I handed him my form, and he asked for my card. After stating that I don't have one, he responded, "First timer? Look at you go!" Now this may have been his sense of humor, but I took it as a judgement of my unvaccinated status. I didn't appreciate it, and found it to be rather unprofessional. I'm not anti-vax at all. I had good medical reasons for not getting the shot earlier, so I can do without the attitude/judgement. One good note is that the nurse giving the shots was very friendly and highly skilled. The shot was practically painless. I will get my second dose elsewhere. This place was unimpressive in their lack of...

They will not fill a script because they know more than my doctor. What arrogance.

I wrote this after his response.

Maybe you are just unaware that the WHO has ivermectin on its list of essential medicine? There are over 130 studies on the safety and effectiveness on covid. I will be glad to show you where to find them and maybe educate youself.

You seem unaware that ivermectin is a broad-spectrum anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-parasite, anti-inflammatory that also appears to have anti-cancer properties and it’s more gentle than aspirin.

You also seem unaware that 3.7 billion doses of ivermectin have been used safely worldwide since 1987.

Would you care to comment on the talk going around town that you received huge amounts of dollars for pushing a non vaccine with no long term safety tests. For a flue like disease with an over 99% recovery rate.

Maybe you should deal with some facts from non pharm sponsored studies n stead of ad hominin attacks...

Neal is a lifesaver. I’ve been lost in the supplement world as my husband and I struggle with infertility and everyone wants to sell you something with empty promises attached to it (and a big price tag). It’s hard to know who and what products to trust, so I made a phone appointment with Neal, and he helped me come up with a plan. I had outstanding questions about products I was already on, so he had me send him an email with the specifics and a few days later he spent more time with me helping me feel more confident in what to keep and what to phase out. I never felt like I was being sold something. He even told me to stick with certain things I was on, at least until I finished them up. He also pointed me towards other resources to further my knowledge in this space. He didn’t even charge me for his time. He’s earned my business and respect. So relieved to have a plan I can feel good...
