Pretty much that, my mother had Astra Zeneca and was fine, I had Pfizer and felt like absolute rubbish for two days, I equally know people who had Pfizer and were fine, and had Astra Zeneca and felt rubbish.
Really is just luck of the draw and how your immune system works.
I mean look at it in a metaphorical sense. Wars are horrible things, but somebody wins. Thatâs what it is when you feel rubbish after a vaccine. Just that your body is the battlefield. Doesnât mean you lost, just means you fought to win, and fighting involves a bit of suffering.
Absolutey 10/10 get Vaccinated as soon as you are offered it. Not just for yourself, but for everyone around you, your friends, family, lovers,
Plus, if you do work somewhere where you are able to go to work, look at it this way, you can blag two days off work citing âVaccine side effectsâ as a reason, so more time to run Torghast eh?
Time for some gaming, reading and relaxing, perhaps a little house cleaning. The weather is so disgustingly beautiful here, itâs a shame we still canât go out to eat and just spend sometime soaking the sun
You can get it from other people. Many people carry the virus without symptoms, and they can transmit it. Just because you are not going outside doesnât mean you are not being exposed to the virus.
And itâs not just 90 year old people with pre-existing conditions that are dying. Although in smaller numbers, adults and young people can also die or get a serious infection and have sequels.
Errr. That isnât how it works.
Interesting that you describe it as a âmeme fluâ because it does spread like a meme does online. I mean that is why we describe things as âgoing viralâ. One person sees a funny meme, they share it with their friends, who then share it with their friends, and so on ad infintum.
Now if you mean it doesnât exist, well, how else do you explain the huge and rising death toll worldwide who all share the same viral symptoms?
It also doesnât just target the elderly, Got asthma? Your age wonât matter, it could prove deadly, got COPD? It -Will- prove deadly no matter your age (I was advised this in no uncertain terms by my GP, and it was the reason I got put on the vaccine list early on), feeling a bit peaky before you catch it? It could prove deadly. It is no respecter of age at all, and can, and has struck down people as young as 21 I think was the youngest age in the UK.
Also consider this. Immunity does not mean you cannot transmit it. ask the tens of thousands of Native Americans who died of smallpox when America was settled by Europeans who had -kind of- developed an immunity to it.
Itâs why the Sentinelese island is a âNo goâ zone, the population of that island has not progressed much further than the Stone age times, certainly they do not know how to make metals, though they did scavenge metals from foolhardy people who tried to go to the island and were promptly killed. It is estimated that they have lived in complete isolation for 60,000 years. Very little is known about them, because the Indian navy patrols the coastline at a 3 mile radius preventing people getting there.
Basically if your average European -did- get there, and somehow was not instantly peppered with arrows and spears, contact with them would wipe them out. We have so many small diseases that we can transmit, that we donât even know we carry, that would prove deadly to a people separated from the rest of humanity since before recorded history began.
Now imagine this. Everyone apart from a few stubborn people have had the vaccine. Those people who have had the vaccine are now immune. But they can still carry and transmit it, to those who have -not- had the Vaccine. This is why Anti-Vaxxers are basically a paranoid suicide cult. âI reserve my right to die of a disease that I could have been immune to!â
Weâll see a spike once Lockdown ends, for sure. But it will be a spike in deaths of those who refused the vaccination, everyone else will be fine.
Or a door handle, or being near someone breathing who is immune but asymptomatic, or receiving online shopping bags or parcels, or going to social occasions. Itâs a tricky beast of a thing. Itâs like saying âWell I canât catch a coldâ and then catching a cold (Which is another type of Coronavirus, just one that we have built up an immunity to, so is no longer fatal).
So for your own good, like get the jab when it is offered. Makes me laugh when you see Yanks going âItâs got microchips that allows the Government to track youâ They say from their internet devicesâŚthat allow the government to track them anyway. Also, how small do they think microchips are these days? Because the Vaccine needle is so tiny you donât even feel the jab. A Microchip could not fit in that.
GetâŚTheâŚJab.
(No idea why that replied to Vulpie, I was quoting a quote from a quote)
Still, Weekend! Iâm not doing much, quiet one this weekend, do some writing, have some beers tonight, maybe log on this evening and see what is going on RPwise in Silvermoon or Orgrimmar, Might level my Warlock so Brigante can get rid of all the damned cloth he is carrying as she is a Tailor/Enchanter. Might do some VA recording tomorrow, but to be honest the Author Iâm narrating the book for has said she doesnât expect anything until after Lockdown, which is surreal, given that VA work is something you -can- do from home, with the right rig and quiet room, so I might knock out a few chapters to send to her once this is all over,
Then Sunday catch up on some TV, and some cheeky, nay, insolent drinkies in the evening, and then Monday it is back to shooting mutants and corrupt Intelligence officers in the face.
Itâll be a quiet weekend here, I suspect. Feeling a bit under the weather after some really good and productive weeks, so Iâll try to recharge and take care of myself the best that I can so Iâll be ready to go back to work on wednesday.
Itâs not the weekend until Fridayâs work is done. What time zone are you in?
