SARS II: Respiratory Boogaloo

The unfortunate side effect is that 20% of male patients had their dick explode.

But seriously, I rolled the dice on the AstraZeneca BLOODCLOT vaccine since it was the first one available in my country (I'm full of AZ, Moderna and Pfizer! The hattrick!) So, as @Faceman says, hook me up!

Family Sentenced for Selling Bleach as ‘Miracle’ Covid-19 Cure
Mark Grenon, 66, and three sons sold $1 million of an industrial bleach solution that they claimed to be a cure-all, prosecutors said.

Well, did it work?

I hope not. Yes I am a terrible person.

This is the way COVID spreads.

In Alberta they're letting you get your covid boosters and your flu shots at the same appointment. Convenient, right?

In other news, everything hurts and I'm dying.

They allow that here, too, but fuck that.

For whatever reason, the COVID shots knock me right on my ass for at least 36 hours. Last year I got the COVID booster and waited a month before getting the flu shot. I'm doing the same thing this year.

I got both last year at the same time. Was fine. Especially compared to prior boosters that murdered me worse than actual Covid.

I got both at the same time. No huhu. The pharmacist told me I could have gotten the RSV shot too, but I passed. The pharmacist told me he had one guy take four shots at the same time. That seems like…quite a lot. The pharmacist said it won’t kill you to do that, but he bet that guy felt really for a while.

None of the Covid shots hit me especially hard, which makes me suspect I actually had it beforehand and was asymptomatic, especially since my parents both had it when we all went to India for my brother-in-law's brother's wedding in February of 2020.

Also, Hindi weddings are awesome.

After what the second shot did to me (I felt worse that when I had COVID or any sickness) I'm not getting any more.

I mean, my kid got five at once when he was a baby. He's around here somewhere.

Did you get the shot before or after having COVID?

Just because the pandemic is over, doesn’t mean covid is going away.

First shot before COVID. Second was after.

I'd still get vaccinated. Especially when you have comorbidities. The current vaccine is new, not just a booster.

FF hears "it's got 6G and the global elite can have your meat body form laser cannons to kill the last free humans!!"

Scary thing is how horrible I felt. Even my cardiologists aren't pushing that I get it. I'm at risk of arrhythmias and stress can trigger a run. I didn't get an arrhythmia, but I really felt the heart pounding at times before I felt better. I don't want to risk another year like 2009.

Should have led with that.

I agree. I don't think any real conservative should be getting a COVID vaccine.

Good point.
The arrhythmia doctor understood my fear.

Yeah, I'd put you in the column of people who shouldn't get more than they have already. Be healthy as possible.

If you think that’s why he isn’t pushing it, you might want to get clarification.

We had a discussion about it. Considering I handled COVID better than the shot and stress is one of the main triggers of my arrhythmia, he understood my decision and thought it wasn't a bad thing. I just avoid people who are sick and careful with sanitizing.

And do you think that is unusual?

Tell me, how do you feel about other vaccines?

You know, I really don't think he owes any of us any further explanation. That's just me talking, though.

A real doctor who examines him and knows his medical history is the best person to answer the question. Not some podcaster, not some conspiracy theorist on the internet, and not some bitch who is trying to make a gotcha question because she does not like the answer she was given because she thinks she knows better than an actual doctor who examined him and knows his medical history.

This is a bitch who's medical expertise is sucking @Uncle Albert off. If you got heart problems and your doctor thinks you should not get another booster because you didn't take the first one well, why the fuck would you listen to the WF Karen? Listening to Jenee for your medical advice over your own doctor is as stupid as listening to Joe Rogan. Even if you wanted to get a second opinion make it a doctor with recommendations, and not some dipshit from the internet.

I do not even like Ryan, but seeing your own doctor who examined you and has your medical history is the best choice for anyone, and it is all I want anyone to do. It is the same advice I would give a person I give a fuck about.
