Take your vitamin D.

It’s really funny when it comes to vaccines and the medical profession in general. They treat us like we’re never supposed to get sick and if we do we’ve somehow failed the system. Complete BS. We get sick, we’re supposed to, it’s what keeps our immune system on alert so when we do get something, we get over it.

I got my flu shot thursday with no after effects. Some years the injection shot develops a bump or redness and can make me feel a little rotten, but not this time. Im not sure about either the rsv or covid booster. Do you even need these every year?

The skill of the technician can have a lot to do with pain thereafter, it's really technique sensitive! During the covid times I considered having a bullseye tattooed at the sweet spot.

In my office as a general rule the more a person uses the internet to make decisions related to their health, the more unhealthy they are. The folks who follow the guidelines combined with the customized advice of their Dr. (assuming they know each other well) are better off.

And when some grumpy fisherman comes in and has every self inflicted condition that has a name but doesn't want a vaccine no one is surprised!

My last doc is a salmon fisherman, I saw him for years. We'd spend two minutes talking about my heath: "oh that's normal, don't worry about it, I'll order a test if you want", and five minutes talking about springers. I always had my yearly checkup in May so I could show him pics.
I feel lucky that I got more time with the doc than any other patient!

I’ve had the Rona twice.

I’ve had worse hangovers.

Yup.... I've probably had it 4 or 5x, but I'll never know, nor do I really care to know. Don't know why people still take tests when they sniffle

I bet you got the Anthrax shot?

I still have my shot record from when I was in. I'm gonna have to dig it out and see what I was actually shot up with? I don't have the little round scar for small pox. So every year they would notice that and vaccinate me again. I've been vaccinated for small pox 5 times

So you're an asymptomatic carrier?

 

[Lucky Guy]

After all of the stuff the Army shot me up with, I’m not worried about getting any vaccine! And no civilian shot has ever hurt like those did 🤣 I do glow in the dark a little 😋

George Washington introduced vaccines to the US and the US military with one for smallpox during the revolution. It was mandatory for all new recruits. Yep, mandatory vaccines for the military since 1774-5.

Smallpox had been going around Europe since before the revolution and the British army was already immune. Not the American army though, which became infected and was immobilized for several months when it could not have withstood a British attack. Washington managed to keep that secret long enough, and dispatched a courrier with his order to vaccinate all recruits Could have been a real different outcome otherwise.

That first mandatory smallpox vaccine was a live virus vaccine with a 10% fatality rate. 10% fatality rate. Not even Pharmy could sell that vaccine to the Karen's these days.

Please quit complaining about vaccines and conspriacies and thank Washington for recognizing what needed to be done and doing it. And all those vaccines since for not having to watch your children be crippled or die of diseases no one thinks twice about anymore.

So you're an asymptomatic carrier?

Well nobody has caught small pox around me yet? In 1957, (yeah I'm old) they vaccinated the babies on the inside of the arm. I have the little round scar there, but not on my shoulder like most people. So the Army tried to give me the scar, I still don't have one The Army way, if it doesn't work, keep trying until it does 🤘

Spot on concerning vitamin D. Lots of D3/K2 along with magnesium and zinc. If a bug does come along, then I break out the sovereign silver.

 

[DogZilla15]

If that Silver thing is what I think it is I’ll pass….

 

[First Bite]

The sovereign silver I'm referring to is bio-active silver hydrosol for immune support. 10 ppm.

 

[blackdog]

Vaccines......uh...no thanks. But you do you. If you're feeling it - go for it. I'll continue choosing to stay in great shape and eat healthy and take my chances.

I got both the Covid and high dose influenza vaccines this last Saturday. 12 hours later I had a shivering fever with mild headache that lasted a few hours. I wonder if that was from the high dose flu vaccine.

I have never gotten a case of Covid, but I know some people who have. Even had a coworker die from it.

 

[DogZilla15]

Flu will do that. Does it to me. Haven’t had a flu shot since my days in the service, sometime in the early 70’s. Got the flu one time since then and bout the time it was supposed to start getting bad, day two, it was better on day three. That was over 40 years ago. Only been sick one time since then and that was Covid because my wife insisted on coughing in my face. Got a huge dose of the virus. No way to dodge that bullet. My Covid bout lasted four days. Felt like crap for a while but wasn’t contagious. Figured out my cough was due to acid reflux, not Covid.

 

[waterbobber]

I’ve never had Covid either, or I may have had it and didn’t notice as symptoms must have been extremely mild. Then again I’ve had every Covid shot offered. I’ve never noticed any reaction from them. I see no downside to getting the shot, as it just prepares your immune system for a more rapid defense, with lesser or only minor symptoms, if exposed, just like any other vaccine.

 

[SturgeonKing50]

waterbobber have you heard of long Covid? I had it and you don't want it. I'm finally feeling like I used to two years after the last time I had that crap. Both of my Doctors confirmed to me that many people complained of lingering symptoms. If you think it's like any other vaccine that's great. You can have mine.

 

[Roggie57]

I do get vaccinated every year according to whatever Walmart tells me I need, tenderness now and then. Most years after I get the shots I work my arms hard. I eat like a raccoon in a dumpster, drink GOOD beer like I'm rich, what's sleep? But I don't get sick very often, colds are my bad bug? Covid once, flu maybe once in 15 years? Either I have a good immune system or the vaccines work for me?

 

[DogZilla15]

A good immune system doesn’t need an annual jump start. People with the best immune systems didn’t grow up in a sterile world like most kids these days. Exposure to as many things as possible when young builds a strong adult.

I can't post the YouTube video here for obvious reasons but if you want some humor and don't mind F bombs, take a look at George Carlin's YouTube video; Germs-Immune system. Hilarious.
