also this has been going round a bit lately incase anyone has missed it
thanks JackDaniels. I was really tired for a week and couldn't smell or taste. Then it went away. I agree with the sentiment you expressed in these posts. I think more and more people are beginning to disregard the restrictions/mandates and make decisions for themselves about what is safe.
I just had this conversation this morning. My uncle is vaccinated and tested positive. He’s fine and worked through it the entire time. He’s 62 and way fucking overweight, so he had a mild cold when there’s a decent chance he would have been roadkill. I asked him if he needed a booster now, and his doctor didn’t say and he didn’t think to ask. He said he didn’t need one yet anyway as it’s over 65, and was unaware that it’s likely to change in the next few weeks and open to anyone over 40.
The doctor did say the vaccine worked exactly as designed, given his mild symptoms, he thought he had a sinus infection, and would now have antibodies from both. That made me assume he’s fine for at least a number of months. He was going to call and ask when it’s recommended, but I said I’d guess you’re fine for a good six months now. The people I know who have got it naturally and got it after vaccinated both seem to fall right about six months as far as being at risk to get it again.
That said, he’s fat, but doesn’t have any serious health issue besides being overweight. Not on any meds or anything as my family has great heart health. Most dudes as out of shape as he is would have blood pressure and cholesterol issues.
If I had cancer currently, I’d ask my doctor and get his opinion though. All cancers are different and some lower your immune response. You might prefer to ask people here, but we are going to give you generic answers not knowing your type of cancer and other shit. I can think you’re probably fine for awhile, but if you’re hooked up to a ventilator in three months, you’ll wish you asked a professional and not dudes who are guessing or get their facts from Facebook and Reddit,
thanks bcr. I get it that nobody would want to give me medical advice like that. I'm in pretty good shape right now and not worried. I ran this morning. The doctors would all tell me to get it because they wouldn't want to tell me its not necessary and then see me on the ventilator with my malpractice lawyer by my side. So I don't need to ask any of them since I already know the answer. I'm going to wait awhile longer.
yeah exactly its the restrictions and the mandates that i have an issue with. let people make their own decisions if you are 65 and morbidly obese like bcr's uncle then you should absolutely get the jab, a 25 yr old nurse for example who worked all the way thru the pandemic and has had covid shouldnt be forced into getting the vaccine or get the sack
your symptoms are pretty standard, very few people have anything that lasts longer than a week or two its really not something we should all be expected to take booster jabs to fight for the next decade no matter what the drug company sponsored media tells us
pretty sure all uncles are fat slobs

Pfizer is up to 4 shots now , when will it end
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

People haven't been making a big enough deal about the California vaccine mandate for little kids.
It is likely full FDA approval for the vaccine for kids 5-11 will take place before the end of 2021.
That means California kids will be forced to get vaccinated on January 1, presumably with some short window to get it done. Otherwise, they will be thrown out of school -- even private ones.
California is almost 1/8 of the US population.
This is amazingly intrusive. The only age group mandated to get the vaccine will be kids, even though they have tremendously good COVID outcomes and don't seem to be transmitting it much.
Even Benjamin (11) thinks this is ridiculous. "They're making me get the vaccine when I'm safe from COVID, and really old people have a choice? Why is Newsom doing this?"
Insane.

Even though Sloppy Joe thinks they're "idiotic", Israel has determined that the Pfizer booster restores efficacy back to 95%, after falling apart starting from around the 4-5 month mark.

Glad I got it, given that I both attended a Dodgers playoff game and am planning to go to Vegas soon.

LOL. You are a 'long hauler', right? Which is code for getting out of going to work. You'll get covid again, and start piling in sick days because your lungs hurt, yeah right. What a scamming POS you are. 90% of these long haulers are full of shit, just working the system. Oh my head huts, Covid, need a week off. FU.
