    Default Got Vaccinated Today

    Just got back from getting the Moderna vaccine. Booster shot to follow on 4/5.

    I barely felt the stick at all... it's much less painful than a flu shot. Or any other shot for that matter. I had to ask the nurse if that was it.... that's pretty nice.

    Something I wasn't prepared for was the speed rush it gave me. It's similar to an adrenaline or cocaine rush and I'm still feeling it an hour later. There's something in the cocktail that's a powerful stimulant.

    Shar is holding off for now. She's got enough issues going without introducing an experimental drug into the mix.

    So I should plan this shot around a home project?

    I would recommend a painting project that has an emphasis on creative flair. Wear a hat, though, unless you want interesting hair.

    No adrenaline for me from the Pfizer shot either time. I wonder if Moderna is different that way, or if it’s an individual thing...

    Could be. I was feverish and thrashing all night, guess I kept Shar up. My body definitely responded forcefully to that and immune system went to Defcon 4.

    Feeling fine today. Word is that the 2nd Moderna shot is the riskier one.

    BTW, if the Democrats get their way, that CDC Card I posted will be your travel papers.

    My take is those that take the vaccine shot are doing what they think is best.
    I have no problem at all with that decision.
    However, I stand alone-- as is my usual way.
    I've decided to wait and see for as long as possible.
    And only if forced at the point of a gun -do I yield to submit to that vaccine shot.
    And maybe not even then.. Yes, that is me and my way.
    As I am of Viking, German, English/Irish bloodlines-thus not ever prone to yielding or submitting
    to anything I deem to be quite likely unnecessary or potentially bad for me....
    And that way/decision to the point of dedicated and unrelenting ferocious battle.
    Such is and always has been either the great strength or else the deep curse that I carry.

    I took the Pfizer shot and had a reaction similar to what NT described. The immunization site was a sight to behold. There had to be at least 2,000 cars that started in three lanes, then spread out like a huge set of toll booths: Round 'em up and move 'em on, Texas style. I question whether people should be driving when disoriented like that. However, in Texas, it would be hard to notice the difference.

    I forgot this reply

    So, you're telling me that no only do I get a speed rush, I'm also going to grow hair?

    Only if you don't worry about possibly invoking any life insurance policy. Getting a non-FDA approved medication (this is not a vaccine under the actual legal & scientific definition, btw) may void your insurance policy.

    Kinda surprised that any of the conservatives on here took it willingly given the shady origins (Fauci and Bill Gates financially tied to it) and the fact that this MRNA technology has no success rate in any other testing environment.

    I don't know a huge amount myself, but was of the understanding that it was very helpful in oncology medications.

    Am unsure how I feel about never taking that (or any) vaccine, thanks to a history of vaccine-induced *rhabdomyolysis. And I wonder had we done the covid thing more like chicken-pox (when someone is sick, bring over otherwise-healthy folk so they can get it, then build future immunity) we'd have been better-off.


    *"Rhabdomyolysis is a complex medical condition involving the rapid dissolution of damaged or injured skeletal muscle. This disruption of skeletal muscle integrity leads to the direct release of intracellular muscle components, including myoglobin, creatine kinase (CK), aldolase, and lactate dehydrogenase, as well as electrolytes, into the bloodstream and extracellular space. Rhabdomyolysis ranges from an asymptomatic illness with elevation in the CK level to a life-threatening condition associated with extreme elevations in CK, electrolyte imbalances, acute renal failure (ARF), and disseminated intravascular coagulation." Normal CK range is 22 to 198 U/L. My CK levels were 50,000 u/L.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Pretty good case for "why not", IMO.
