I'll take your word for it. But all the other vaccines I ever got, didn't need repeated applications. I also don't think I've ever heard of the flu shot being called a vaccine. Not that will make a difference. To me anyway.
But yet it is commonly called a vaccination. Shot and jab are just abbreviations. Here is this season's flavors being injected.

I just received my booster shot yesterday. This brings my total to 6. This includes the 1st shot. Still no additional appendages or enlargement of existing one. We can but hope. :)
But do you have Magneto powers yet?

Under the heading or "who knows": My wife is now allergic to poison ivy/oak. Had a pretty bad reaction to it. Hard to believe that she has always been allergic to it since it's all over the yard. I am apparently not allergic to it. Been messing with the stuff for years 'cuz I never knew what it was and work in the yard a LOT. It used to burn a little and smelled like peanut butter, but that was it. Now, it doesn't even burn. So, did her allergy develop from the covid shot? Or is it just one of those things that comes with age? Not going to change our minds about getting the shot(s) though.

I started having heart palpations after the second jab. Heart doctor says not related to the shot, very common and posses no danger. Only happens after eating. I dunno. If I disappear from here, it probably means it missed a big beat.

Sorry to hear it and definitely hard to know.
I do know that with age I've gotten sensitive to stuff I never used to be.

During my last annual visit to my family doctor I was asking him about this and he said that you can eat a certain food your whole life and all of a sudden one day it turns on you and you are allergic to it. He said he sees it every week with his patients. I love peanuts and have eaten them by the barrels full my whole life and now I can't eat them anymore. They cause me to break out in what I would describe as large pimples. A lot of older people start having GI issues and a lot of times they are eating one particular food that is causing it. You can go to a carnivore/atkins low carb type diet for four to five days and see if your system gets better. Then start adding your regular foods back in one at at time to try and find out where the problem.

I'm a HUGE proponent of yogurt. Whatever flavor/brand/style you want. The good bacteria helps prevent a LOT of GI issues. In the past, the entire family would get the 24hr stomach bug when it went/goes around. Me? Nothing. Business as usual. My DIL, before she was DIL, was complaining about stomach issues that she and our bonus baby were having. Had been going to the doctor and taking meds. In about a week, with daily Danactive, no more problems. Sparticus was having constipation issues. Couple days of yogurt, and one OMG diaper, no more problems.

My now late father had 6 covid jabs, 4 flu jabs over the whole inoculation roll out up till December last year, got sick over Christmas, onto a covid ward on January 2nd, passed away in side room on 13 January from respiratory failure (not covid). Bit of medical context, he had COPD, Emphysema, Anxiety and hernia, was on forced air mask for 24hrs in side room, doctor told him he could come off air mask, but would basically start clock to pass, he shrugged, took it off and went out like a rockstar. These jabs are a flip of a coin, they work or don't,

I had covid at the start before any vaccines came out. It caused a sepsis that led to 7 months in hospital and me losing my spleen and my whole stomach (who knew yo don’t need a stomach) While I was in hospital I had all the vaccines and then the whole ward caught covid including me. This time, I didn’t even know I had it. It delayed my discharge by 3 days. I’m a great supporter of the vax.

I had a what I can only describe as a severe chest infection at the very beginning, when it was all Daily Mail end of the world drama, coughed up lumps of green crap, then lumps of bloody red and green crap, looked like death. I spent a day on the sofa self medicating with amoxicillin, paracetamol and anything else I could find, back to work following day. Several of the employees I came in contact with had similar symptoms, but just got on with it. Then the whole vax/lockdown happened, I continued working all over the UK, mostly areas that had the outbreaks, I didn't catch it or suffer any symptoms, honestly worked in some grotty places. I had a job offer that required travel overseas, so I had to get the jab or lose serious money, had the first jab and felt like crap, had second one and felt worse, never offered an antibody test to see if I had the immunity, just forced to have jab or lose work. all the different variants rolled out, never had another jab, never got ill, although my insomnia, tinnitus and lack of tolerance to idiots has got worse, not sure if that's age or the jab :)

Same here. When Omicron first started showing up, the symptoms were different. When I came down with it, I didn't think it was covid because the symptoms didn't match. I was over if 5 days later before I realized it was covid. I caught it again the next year, but again, 5 days later I was done. So yes, I will keep up with the boosters.

I've kept up with the shots and credit those with taking a potentially fatal problem to basically just be a bad case of flu.
If I get it again the only thing I'll do different is not take the Paxlovid because the rebound case was worse and lasted longer. Turns out that is somewhat common.

I've seen similar reports with Tamiflu. That the cure is worse than the disease sometimes. One of the possible side effects on the TV advertisement is death.

That’s an FDA required comment regarding death. Almost every drug ad has that disclaimer. When we ran clinical tests on our neurosurgical devices we had to add that comment if anyone died during the trial. We had at least one patient that passed due to an unrelated heart attack, another actually suffered a traumatic accident. As a result we had to include the death comment.

If you just randomly select several hundred, not to mention several thousand individuals and just follow them for year, no drug or device involved, there will normally be some deaths in the group.

Oh, I didn't expect it to be common, but Tamiflu is taken by a lot of people who really don't think much about the possible side effects. But then they turn around and refuse the covid shot.
