I got the first Pfizer dose last Saturday, sore arm and Sunday I had a low grade headache. No biggy.
I was at my Doctor on Monday and he believes the virus will become Endemic and will never go away. Over time, as more people are exposed to the virus and mutations, our bodies will have experience dealing with it and most likely it won't be as big of a deal. Like the seasonal flu. You can draw comparisons to the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic, which was H1N1. That particular virus is still endemic...The 2009 Swine flu was a variant of it. Regardless, if the vaccine prevents me from getting seriously ill, that's all that matters to me. I'm a pretty physically fit dude in my mid 40's, so I doubt it would kill me either way, but still. |

I have several employees that have had this happen to them. It is what it is.

I haven't been paying attention because I don't plan to get tested anytime soon, but is there a test yet that doesn't involve ramming a foot long match stick up your nose?

The fear the MSM has instilled from the constant barrage of bullshit is very real though. A few real life examples from the last week of my real life:
1. Last week, I saw a guy in the supermarket parking lot that I have known for 20+ years as our children went to school together. We recognized each other, and as we got closer (like maybe 20 yards away), he asked me if I had been vaccinated. I responded "no", and he immediately backed away from me, and said that he was fully vaccinated, and didn't want to get anywhere near anyone who wasn't. So, the guy who is fully vaccinated is deathly afraid of the obviously healthy guy simply because he is unvaccinated? How does this make sense? 2. Yesterday, I am out running in my neighborhood. OK, "running" might be a bit of an overstatement for me nowadays, but I am moving much faster than a walk, sweating, breathing hard, and pretty obviously NOT currently dying of a respiratory infection. I see two old ladies walking together in the distance without masks. As I approach them, they move to the other side of the street, produced masks, and put them on as I passed even though we were outdoors, and I was not within 20 feet of them. Later in the run, I would pass them again, with the same result. 3. I'm at my buddy's shop today, with 4 guys who are all hanging out indoors with no masks. Another guy we know comes in with a mask, and starts talking to us. He says he is fully vaccinated, and asks if we all are too. One guys says he just got his second shot a week ago, and I admitted that I had not been vaccinated at all. He practically ran out of the shop when he heard that. So again, I ask the public at large: If the vaccines work, why is every vaccinated person scared to ****ing death of getting anywhere near me because I am unvaccinated? |

Because it's not a vaccine like the polio vaccine, it's doesn't make you immune, it just makes the symptoms less if you do get it. Vaccinated does NOT mean immune.

I am 99.99999% sure I had covid as I got the sickest I've ever been in late December 2019 / January 2020. Sick as a dog for two weeks and a good month after that before I felt somewhat normal again. My biggest concern with the so called "vaccine" is it's being pushed by the same folks that think the world is overpopulated by 20%. |

Luckily we were in Orlando on vacation so did our part to achieve natural herd immunity. FWIW, I still enjoyed vacation except for the non sexual friction with the wife in regards to the HVAC fan. She needs white noise to sleep but the air circulation aggravated my illness. She won and I slept with the covers over my head... Bitch. |

I've been seriously contemplating just lying to people when they ask if I've been vax'd. How are they gonna know any different? I've also thought about making it fun...like when they ask and I say, yes I have been...I then follow it up with "and now I have this rash that won't go away, and my hair is rapidly falling out, and my vision seems to be slowly going away...and oh yeah, I haven't had an erection since the 2nd shot, and that was several weeks ago. But overall...no side affects.

1. People driving in a car SOLO with a mask? WTF? 2. I try to walk everyday, and I've notice when I come across people in the walk, they will stop and let me walk by. I don't walk with a mask. They have a mask. 3. I don't care if people wear a mask or not. It's not my business to even ask as I don't care. I do wear a mask when going into a business that requires it, but as soon as I'm outside it comes off. I've had both the Madera shots. I get flu shots every year because I don't have a spleen (it was removed back in the mid 80's). If I was still young in my 20's I doubt I would even get any shots, but since I'm compromised by not having a spleen, I have to take precautions like getting flu shots annually. https://www.healthline.com/health/wh...#spleen-health |
