Typhoon Tip Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Oh yeah, vaccine. I had the two dose deal - Moderna. I did not feel or sense any reaction to either dose, zippo. Moderna, as internet water-cooler wisdom would warn, is the worst offender for making the patient feel as though curing the disease is actually killing the patient. I know that people are getting reactions to these vaccines - my sister did. She was couched for 3 days with fever and headache - "they f'n gave me COVID, that's what!" But I'm just here to say that either A, this is not going to be true for all individuals - you may not respond. Versus, B, the off chance that the vaccine failed to work in my particular physiology -- never heard of that, but nothing in a reality that is 100% a synergistic emergence of Quantum Uncertainty Principle can ever be in 100% certainty. How's that for a whopper paradox. Excluding the possibility that I am the 1::googleplex target for cosmic dildo flogging, I'm going to go ahead and assume I am just lucky that my particular make-up was able to absorb, respond appropriately, and end-goal my immunity to these predominating strains of C-19 pathogen, without having endure any headaches for the course.

Hoosier Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 The numbers aren't that high, but the UK has actually had a significant increase in cases even with their high vaccination rate.
