Antivaxxers everywhere will be disappointed to know I’m still just fine, do not get 5G, have no nanobots or microchips, and am full of spicy memes to make fun of them with. Go get your shots.
10? Jesus Christ, man, save some for the rest of us.
I always took COVID seriously and got vaccines as soon as I could. I made it all the way through COVID without getting COVID once.
Then I was diagnosed with cancer in 2023 after making it through a fucking pandemic ha.
I don’t talk about my vaccine status in relation to my cancer in public super often because I don’t want to deal with idiots who will blame my cancer on my COVID vaccines. Which I just know some people are itching to be like “SEE WE TOLD YOU” despite the kind of cancer I have being fairly common long before COVID or the vaccines for it were around.
Anyway, I continue to take my vaccine regiment pretty seriously since I’m immunocompromised now and all.
I appreciate you and everyone else who takes it seriously, too, because it helps me know that other people take it seriously for the sake of people like myself, whose immune systems need the help of herd immunity to really make it through.
So, thanks and cheers!
Hey, I’m just some internet stranger, but I want you to know that i care for you and i wish you a fast recovery.

Even pre COVID I was the vaccine Nazi. I told my ex to go get a flu shot in 2001 or thereabouts and he started telling me stupid conspiracy shit about mercury and eggs and whatall, and I gave him my biggest vampire smile and told him to quit his shit and go get one because I don’t live with plague rats. I would not call him antivax, he has dutifully gotten many of them, but the ignorant thoughts in his head are ignorant. (To be fair we didn’t have home Internet in those days and he didn’t have a GP to review with either so it was easier to be ignorant). I will always do what I can to protect you, it’s SO important. Blessing to you.
Haven’t missed a single one. Got covid once, it felts like a weird cold that was mildly annoying, and over in about five days. There’s no telling how bad it might have been without the vaccine, so I always get my fluvid shots.
I never really got much reaction from any of the Covid shots, but with the last one I also got the shingles vaccine, and I’m pretty sure that one is what hit me hard for a few days. Beats getting shingles though, and if what I understand is true usually how your body reacts to a vaccine is just a mild version of what the real thing would be like.
Same. That is the only vaccine that laid me out.
my wife had that experience with her shingles. I don’t remember it being that bad honestly. Im wondering if it will really last forever or if at some point they realize it needs to be reupped in 10 or 20 years.
The shingles vaccine made me exhausted and achy for days. I’m pretty tough and yet that one was difficult.
Still better than shingles. Get shingles in your eyes or your pusswatcha or your back and scream every time the wind blows, and you’ll regret it.

Major correlation between Shingrex vaccinated and signficantly lower Alzheimer’s incidence. Those who get all vaccines and maintain them over 65 have 1/3 lower incidence of Alzheimer disease. It’s not any one virus, it’s about not assualting the brain with reactive oxygen during an immune response due to infection.
We’ll see Alzheimer’s rates spike in the next decade thanks to RFK Jr types.
This is super interesting. Thank you, I didn’t know.
my mom and bro had it around the eye, the mom look like f’up from all those blisters, but no lasting damage or vision problems, my bro had scarring in his sclera when he went to get checked for laser eye surgery, apparently you are not eliglbe for laser eye surgery if shingles has affected any part of your eye.
i heard shingles vaccine for 50+ almost always “knocks” people out. they have the shingrx which is the new vaccine that doesnt use the virus, you got that one?
I had shingles and it was quite unpleasant, had it at 20. shingles experience varies widely from person to person, although it seems the older you have it, the more severe it is. Also if it affects the face or head, or groin area it is considered severe., or it cause meningitis, or paralysis. i had permanent scarring and nerve damage on a “half-dollar coin” size rash, not as crazy looking as others. but i had noticed around the time the blisters appeared, my spine was very stiff along with back pain and that lasted a whole week which i think the shingles affected the spine too, thats about the time shingles blisters bursted on its own. plus the dreaded phn that people get, i had a mild version for a few years. i was not on any antivirals at the time, so i went through the whole thing.
it was induced by severe stress, which also triggered an autoimmune disease of the hair/follicles few months prior.
got the razor blade variant last month, started feeling ill on sunday tested with a somewhat older test, strong positive, then start feeling pain in the throat which got worst, and the fever lasted 3 days, plus the sore throat intensified to throat pain and irritation, razor blade stage. then bizarrely started just hawking mucus and coughing up white phelgm every few minutes which turned yellow and slightly brown as the days went on, for days on end(no eating or drinking because swallowing was too painful, and swollen). the previous vaccine seems to be little effect on this variant.
i was looking at the back of my throat the whole time, there was a strange white film over it.
Jesus fuck I’d heard of this variant. I have no idea if whatever vaccine variant I just got would have helped, And though it seemed to have helped two years ago, the only real vaccine I use is being a recluse. I seriously doubt most people are taking covid seriously anymore, and that’s scary. Covid isn’t flu, and covid is still quite new. With having no way to speak of what the razor blade variant was like, I’m at least glad you don’t seem to have gotten Long Covid. I’m glad you’re well enough to have replied to me, and wish you very well, friend.
Yes, my case was basically a stuffy nose and nothing more, because I frantically jam needles into myself anytime someone will give me one.
However, the first week of March 2020 before lockdown I had the very faintest whiff of a cold, like it would be something I’d ignore in normal times. Employee health kicked me out for four days. I wonder if I got a subclinical case of alpha COVID and that’s given me more protection. The only person that I know who got alpha COVID before vaccines is the person who has never gotten it again.

I hear if you get the Covid booster and snort a Tylenol pm you’ll get a sick nose bleed
I think I’m on my 6-7 covid shot. 😉
If I’ve had COVID, I’ve been asymptomatic about it.I just don’t seem to get it.
I was the same way until about a month ago. Now I have to say: Zero Stars. Do not want again.
You’re a genetic super dodger.
Same, it’s just pure luck i’m able to avoid it thus far.
If you want 5g you have to go to the phone store right after the vaccination. It worked for me anyway.
Can I still go within 12 hours?
Yes, and you get extra Gs in a takeaway
This latest round of covid + flu boosters really kicked my ass. Normally I can weather it with just a sore arm for a day. This one gave me body aches for two days, which hadn’t happened since the first covid booster. So if anyone’s had reactions before, definitely plan for a potential one this time.
Same here, I had both COVID vaccine and the flu shot on the same day this year. I ended up with a 102°F fever for ~24hr and had to skip work the next day. But unlike actually getting sick I felt 100% better the second day after getting them.
Moderna does that because it is a higher dose. Body aches, headaches means a robust immune response.
Huh, this is the first time out hasn’t kicked me in the ass and I got them both in the same arm
The last two times I’ve felt nothing and the common denominator was getting Pfizer instead of Moderna. Is it possible your pharmacy was out of what you usually get and had to use the other COVID vaccine, which your body may react to differently?
Oh, possibly; since I was going to get one no matter what, I didn’t really even look into it.
much better than getting the current covid which causes severe sorethroat, to the point the pain and swelling prevents swallowing+ constant upwelling of white sputum and coughing at the same time. i had that variant, and i was just vaccinated 2 months prior.
Hell ya! Not available till the end of the month here.
Am also Canadian but work in health care and employee health started them yesterday so I nipped up today.
You must get great cell phone service with all those 5G chips!
You’d think so, but remember that Bill Gates was behind it. All I get is the Windows startup sound from my arm, repeatedly.
and windows 11 updates too.
That’s just what the nanobots were programmed to make you think! Checkmate, people who believe in science!
I was about to get vaccinated but they cancelled the free 5G promo?
Boo. Lame. Nvm, then. What a scam. Gimme my free 5G!

10… Jeez Louise. I finished at 4. Work mandates the flu shot. I’m not anti vax.
I feel 4 has given me adequate coverage and I’m not convinced the flu shot does it’s job well enough.
It won’t have given you adequate coverage. Covid changes constantly. Even having the current Covid variant doesn’t cover you 100 percent against getting the same variant again. And if you become immune, immunity against the current variant only lasts up to 9 months. Meanwhile, you will likely have ended up with some brain damage, perhaps a touch of myocarditis, microvascular problems, blood clots… and you’ll probably catch the next variant too.
Get vaccinated.
thats the same with varicella vaccine, it doesn’t give 100% protection, but it does protect you sometimes from full blown or severe chickenpox. also doesnt stop viremia which leads to varicella becoming latent in you ganglia from a wild type infection. varicella is one of those viruses that is wierd with vaccines. mostly because it infilitrates your nerves quite quickly when you get chickenpox, and nerves arnt targeted by the immune system, plus varicella has tricks that could evade the immune system, unlike covid, hence why most herpes can lie dormant in different cell types(depending on the virus).
Covid is really good at evading the immune system and getting better with every variant.
I learned today that all ambulance personnel in my state will be required to have the new Covid booster by end of March '26.
Well if you get it every 6 months which is recommended if you are immune compromised you would be at 10, but everyone should have 5 about now depending on when you started.
In Europe they’re not vaccinating every 6 months. They’ve got their heads in the sand and completely ignore scientific evidence.
I think every 6 months is only recommended if you are immune compromised, but every 9-12 months should be good for most people. And everyone in there late 30s needs to re up their mmr vaccine.
i dont thing MMR needs boosters i believe. its tdap that requires 10 year boosters, i had the tdap recently, also flu should be mentioned, because it gets severe the longer you dont have a flu infection, or vaccination in a while.
Mmr is recommended to get a booster if you are in your late 30s and then you are good for life, tdap is every 10 years.
I asked a virologist and here is their answer.
You just got lucky the other 9 times.
Can’t talk now, the spike proteins are making me watch Letterkenny.
