    Haven’t been in this thread in a long time so forgive me if this has been discussed.   Thoughts on the booster shot?  Yeah or nay?

    I don't think there will be an option for much longer, at least not if you want to keep your "fully vaxxed" status.  I was just in the same boat.  "Do I need it?"  "Do I get it?"  And then I got hit with the real deal, so the decision was made for me.  Unfortunately when (not if) it becomes required for "fully vaxxed" status, my fresh natural immunity will mean nothing to our government though, which I've always felt was flawed thinking.
    I m sorry to hear that.  How are you feeling? Taste and smell back?

    Saw the owner Dr of my pcp's practice on monday for a preop physical(minor shit no sweat)

    He's  in his 60's mid or higher.

    he said for his age group those who had the shot saw waning immunity to about 60% efficacy at roughly 6 months. and would help explain the breakthrough cases. but with booster it was north of 95%.


    am following his recommendation  soonest. plus am due for #2 shingrix

    Thanks bud.  Had a smooth ride, all things considered.  Three days of being sick and the minute I felt better the taste and smell shut off like a light.  That was Sunday.  This morning I got maybe 10-20% of it back, so it's a positive start.

    Chiming in on parenting when your greatest responsibility is making sure the kitty litter is changed...maybe you should sit this one out, champ.


    for the record my cat is vaxxed as well

    If my eyes were closed and I took a sip, it could be vodka for all I know!  It came from a buddy in Nashville I was hanging with.  Vaxxed to vaxxed transmission.  Not sure where he got it though.  Lucky us!

    I have an appointment to get my booster tomorrow. I didn't have any severe side effects with the first two - so I hope this one will be the same.

    my grandma is 91 and immunocompromised
    my nieces are too young to be vaccinated
    my girlfriend is a teacher with a classroom full of sick kids who's parents refuse to have them vaccinated

    it's not a choice that someone just makes for their own child
    it's a choice that affects everyone around that child, and society as a whole

    so who is  to make that choice for my grandma, my nieces, my girlfriend?

    Well?

    Make an off hand remark, and people go running to Kat and Sea

    Make a valid point?

    ... crickets...

    It's pretty clear what people's motivations are around here.

    And it certainly isn't to "Discuss, disagree and debate politely"

    And when have you ever done any of those things politely? I’m sorry when people get warned about you in pMs then you have a reputation.

    Somebody in England with devastatingly crippling health anxiety that has lost one child at some point, I believe with a health related problem. Somebody who is vaxxed himself and seems to want far more info as it relates to his youngest child. As I recall he is worried about heart complications in children.

    Your immunocompromised grandma flying to england any time soon? you? anyone around her? No? then dont worry about someones opinion 6000 miles from you.

    here was the first response.

    End of page 105 this thread.  Wow!  Fucking lovely!  Shame your fellow PJ fan and say nasty things cause, yeah man, that always gets people to change their mind, right?  Hey, while you're at it, yell at the person!  Yelling at someone is an even better what to get them to stop and say, "Oh, gosh yeah, you are so right.  Thank you."

    OK, now the serious response.  Please, just be kind to each other.  There is so much pain and shit in this world already.  Or take your anger out on me.  I don't care.  I have broad shoulders.

    Anyone watch that Utopia show?  I'm just watching now and I can see where the conspiracy theorists got their ideas from.
