With your COVID vaccine. Apparently the new variants are highly resistant to the older formulations. The new formulation is more effective. Just like the flu shot, we can expect to have to get re-inoculated every year.

The fastest way for me to get sick is to go get shots for every last thing. I've had my 2 COVID shots plus COVID itself. I'm happy to leave it at that.

"New data shows that Americans living in four key states are suffering the highest prevalence of COVID-19 infections in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention"

Anybody surprised to know the highest increases are in red states? Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska.

"Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota—the results were only marginally better "

I got a Covid booster, flu, and RSV shot in September. I think I'm good. :)

Quibble: doctors say "don't call it a booster", because it is a new inoculation (i.e. different formulation).

But I did, also. I did the COVID separately, about two weeks apart from the flu and RSV. (My first RSV...I felt terrible for about two days.)

Gosh, I hope not. I would not mind if a vaccine was made available to those who choose to get it, but having to get it? No thank you, comrade

I got the flu, then 3 weeks later got the Covid shot (don't expect me to up on terms) and RSV. No problem. Most I've ever had have beedn slight soreness, but 20 years ago a flu shot gave me a sharp pain in the stomach and slight illness for two days. Still worth it. I think they'll have this combined next year. :)

That's not exactly what I meant. You're not required to get a flu shot, either. But if you don't get re-inoculated, you run a greatly enhanced risk of serious illness. Especially as you get older.

"Vaccine.... No thank you, comrade"

Time to change the US motto from 'E Pluribus Unum' to 'Survival of the Fittest'.

It's astounding that these anti-vax, anti-CDC warriors line up at the ER for free medical attention when they start choking on their own arrogance, lungs inflamed with the liberty of 'you do you.'

Hopefully yes. Got one a month ago.

I think that makes 4 so far total for me.


Thanks for posting.
