I haven't contracted it yet, so I must be doing something right, Blurt ;)
Same here, Rave.
Physical distancing, vaccination, masking, avoiding crowds.
Hahahaha, I give hugs, I dont vax, I dont mask, I go to parties. I must be a walking miracle lol.
And giving others covid without knowing it.
Durp durp.
So being vaxxed prevents me from spreading it or getting it?
KA-PAWNED!!!!
Do you think not being vaxxed AND not wearing a mask is good protection for OTHER people? You are very selfish.
So you think wearing a mask, and being vaxxed, protects you?
lolol, I've got news for ya, in case you hadnt heard. It does NEITHER!
No, Im not selfish, if Im sick, I stay home. Same thing I've always done, the rare time I am sick.
If Im not sick, Im out in the world, enjoying myself, and spreading hugs and smiles. Something you truly need in your life.... hugs and smiles.
I think 'boosting' with different vaccines may be a better strategy
@Blazor.
What's the point of getting 4 or 5 boosters if the formula is the same as the 1st shot & doesn't protect a person against the new variants?
People could be vaxxING continuasly with Pfizer & it won't do them any good.
Feel free to jab all ya want Joe, but Im no guinea pig. And everyone jabbing is a guinea pig.
I was gonna boost with some traditional vaccines like MMR & TDAP.
They dont protect against COVID but they may help to boost the immunity system a bit.
You dont really want to think of your immune system as something you want "boosted". You want it "excersized". When you get a vaccine you are introducing your immune system to something you want it to kill in a controlled way.
If your immune system is "boosted" it will start attacking your body. That's what happens with auto immune disorders. They have to take meds to suppress their immune system.
During pregnancy a womans immune system will suppress itself so it's not attacking the baby. This is why pregnant women are considered high risk for things.
So when you take a vaccine you are putting enough virus in there to excite your immune system without making you sick. Or you are using a dead virus or a viral vector shot(disabled adenovirus). J&J uses a disabled adenovirus. So you immune system will recognize Corona and kill it pretty quick.
See what I'm saying? Thinking about your immune system in the right way will help some of that covid anxiety you have.
Even I get Covid anxiety because we are so bombarded with all these messages and urgency. Whether you are conscious aware "oh man this gives me anxiety" or not you can still get a good deal of anxiety from it.
I could be wrong of course, but I read a good deal of anxiety in your posts when you post about Covid. I'm not criticizing you.....its okay and normal. There is a lot of scary shit going on in the world.
Some people cope by blocking it out entirely. Some try to micromanage everything. Some go with unquestioning compliance. Others look for ways to make themselves feel more secure. I think you are the "look for ways to feel secure" sort.
