    Of course, this tactic requires the other person to be capable of feeling shame, so it wouldn't work on Sarah Palin.

    The omicron wave appears to be subsiding in the United States.

    The Doctor who initiated my getting the first two shots, understands my reluctance on the booster. She was a little concerned when I told her about my reaction to the second shot. I'll be talking to my heart failure, transplant and adult congenital heart doctors on my next visit to UPENN.

    Don’t you have a heart doctor? If you have had heart problems since childhood, you should have a heart doctor. That person. What does he or she say?

    Are they? I don’t know. But, both my parents regularly consulted their heart doctors after each had begun having heart issues. People I know now regularly consult their heart doctors. I don’t know anyone who has heart issues who didn’t consult their hear doctor two years ago.

    I suspect all three are qualified as cardiologists with qualifications in their subspecialties. I have had ear problems all my life and go to an otolaryngologist....AKA an "ear doctor" :clyde:

    Yes, the heart failure doctors have been taking care of me since about 2008, and they were the ones that referred me to the heart transplant team early last year.
    The adult congenital cardilogist is actually a pediatric cardiologist that also cares for patients who survive to adulthood. It is a fairly new field.
    I forgot to add that I also see an electrophysiologist. He's the one that is keeping my heart rhythm from going out of control.

    Also, if I do go through the transplant, I'll also get a liver transplant at the same time. The right heart failure has been putting stress on the liver and the hepatitis C I got when I was a kid has not been helpful.

    I'd post the Fry is shocked meme, but I'm not at all shocked.

    This reminds me of an old Southern saying: If a group of people gathered around a table and everyone put their troubles in the middle of the table, you'd take yours back in a hurry. I do wish you well. :carryon:

    Either way, I’d think one would have confirmed long before now if he needs or can get a booster.

    I would say that it's because there is no hard and fast answer.

    There's a reason Detroit Metro Times called this guy "the musical equivalent of a DUI with all the charm of a human cigarette."

    So despite 2 physer vaxine doses and a booster my grandmother has covid pneumonia, is being put into a coma, and then being stuck in hospice because she is expected to die.

    It is a mixed bag. Ever since my grandfather passed away she has been getting more and more depressed. The past year has seen her lose her mind to dementia, and start hallucinating him. She had become like a mental patient with severe psychiatric problems. She cut her own hair off, and last time I saw her she could not figure out how to dress herself. The COVID had put her dementia into complete overdrive and she was going to need to get into a nursing home. The only thing that did not seem to be forgotten was the pain of my grandfather not being there.

    I really want to be depressed over it, but for all the money she had, and having her family around her, all she wanted was him back.
