Boomers Got the Vax

[YakRV]

Not to imply that anyone is misleading the forum, and more just to add information, these are links to a couple websites I came across on the shingles vaccines (if you’re interested):

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/shi...rix/index.html

https://www.nvic.org/vaccines-and-di...d-not-get.aspx

Hope it helps.

Gabby,
I get all of the shots, shingles included, no side effects other than wanting another Escape......

The previous version of the shingle vaccination was indeed, ONLY 50% effective. That's a coin toss odd, one I'll take ANY day, and much, much better than nothing.

The NEW version is around 95% EFFECTIVE. I wouldn't bet against those numbers.

Do your homework, and find the best evidence based information you can.

Both my wife and I walked into CVS no appointment and got our boosters. We decided to switch them received Pfizer. There is studies showing that if you switch it improves the immune response. My wife has to have back surgery next month, at University California medical school Irvine she is required to have both shots and booster and a negative test 72 hours prior to surgery. For me to visit her my wife I must have and show my Covid-19 vaccination record each time I enter the hospital. A negative test result is not considered sufficient.

THURSDAY, Nov. 4, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- The discovery that up to 80% of white-tailed deer in Iowa may be infected with COVID-19 has scientists worried that the animals could become a reservoir for variants that could come back to haunt humans.

Attachment 59381. So that’s why the deer look like this around here.

I had the J & J for my original shot....so I got the Moderna booster yesterday! They say it really takes your antibodies way up. So far a little tired but otherwise good.

[CindyL]

Kevin was quite unwell after the booster, me only a bit. He got the flu shot at the same time though and thought it was the source of his issues. He had not issues after Moderna number 2.

I have always wanted to develop a beer and ice cream diet. I could make a lot of money, and enjoy drinking and eating the products.

For decades it was the best place in the city to have fun, and what a happy place it was! It said “SMILE” at the entrance. Even had an Olympic sized swimming pool.

When we drove down Springfield Avenue I always watched for 43nd Street because then you could see at its end the big wooden arched entrance to Olympic Park. I would beg dad to turn down 43th Street and take us there, but, that was the early fifties. Because of the Polio epidemic raging then he thought it was too dangerous to be where so many people would be gathering.

It all changed when they introduced the Polio vaccine.

Myron at that time they thought I had Polio because I had a high fever and couldn’t move my legs I was 6 years old now I am 75 but I did get Heart valve damage from the fever but still here and thank goodness for the vaccine then and now ! Pat

My 96 yr old mother in memory-care facility was boosted 6 days ago. Her original vacination was very early. She caught Covid this Sept.

Slight temp for a day and tired a couple days was as bad as it got.

So a 96yr with a history of cardiac arrest, coronary stints, severe stroke, hypertension, heart disease, late stage alzheimer’s, and now beat Covid too! They don't build like that any more.

We are boosted.

Got my booster at the VA yesterday. My wife can’t get hers until January or February because she got her first shingles shot last week. And they are telling her 2 months out from her last shingles shot.

Hi Glenn
Not as a coverup but as a developing story, the DNR has been quiet on this development until the last few days. The Chronic Wasting Disease has been in our state for a few years now and the DNR has spent a lot of time and money attempting to control the spread and educate hunters. If covid in deer is a problem here, it’s a problem in other places too.

Whether you’re a fan of wildlife harvest of any kind or not, spreading diseases which can be transmitted between species is of great concern from both a health standpoint and an economic one as well.

Where are all the muskrats? Largely gone from the landscape here in Eastern Iowa. Why? That’s when the finger pointing starts.

Where are the civet cats and the grey fox? Armadillos in southern Iowa? Are you kidding me?.

Trends, whether short term with rapidly rising peaks and declines or decades long bear close scrutiny by everyone. We are all in this together.

You are also more susceptible to these scourges as evident by bad puns.
