How is the corona virus affecting you?

Just curious, which vax did you get? I wonder if it makes any difference. I had Pfizer all four shots.

Friday jab was Pfizer.

You’ll beat covid by utterly confusing it!

I just got a letter saying vaxxing is now free for all, so I can just go whenever I want. However, due to my blood thinners I can only go when the blood is at a certain thinness so I am waiting for that day. Then I'll go.

Neighbors two houses down, firm anti-vaxxers, and they both have covid, and the husband’s is severe enough that he’s in the hospital. Ambulance picked him up today.

Well, now that the Republicans have taken control of the House of Representatives, they have announced their intentions to investigate Dr. Fauci. He was the biggest proponent of masking, social distancing, and vaccines, and as we all know, that was a socialist plot to destroy the US economy. They will probably put Marjory Taylor Greene in charge of the investigation, as she would probably like to bring back public hangings for socialist traitors like Dr Fauci.

Dr Fauci's main sin was being the voice of reason during the pandemic... the grownup in the room.

…and he’s just been transferred to the state university hospital a couple of hours away.

Of course there is no iron-clad guarantee that vaccines would have prevented this, but his odds would have been much better had he taken the advice of people like Dr Fauci, and gotten vaxxed.

Yup.

By pure coincidence, I stumbled upon some news indicating that in the US, Republican deaths from Covid have been much higher then with Democrats. A sinister plot by the left? Well, it has more to do with higher reluctancy to get vaccinated, mask usage, and social distancing. Also, more rural counties are more likely to be heavily populated by Republicans, while more urban areas by Democrats. Suburbs tend to be mixed.

Studies consistently find higher Covid death rates among Republicans than Democrats

I was planning on going last week, but I've got some new medical BS going on (I'll post about it once it's clear what's going on) so I have again not been able to. See the GP today, hope I'll be good to go for my vax on wednesday.

A lot of confounding variables in stuff like that. I did work in environmental toxicology for a few years and was amazed by how hard it was (maybe impossible) to come to valid conclusions when human populations were involved.

I'm not a member of any political party. Does that mean I'm doomed?

The plan is to get my bivalent shot Wednesday. The county health department in town has a walk-in clinic every Wednesday, no appointment necessary.

Finally! Two months after my invite I got a spot.

My 4th Pfizer jab.

I´ve got my 4 jabs, but I bet no -one else has anything similar...
1 Sputnik jab, July 2021
2 Sinofarm Oct 2021
1 Moderna, Oct 2022
Plus a dose of Covid in Feb, 2022 - no ill effects whatsoever.
