Did the Covid shot make you cranky?

[BravoXray]

The issue of not getting vaccinated is deeper than that. Character has little to do with it from my observations. I have very close friends that are on the fence concerning getting vaccinated for various reasons.

I knew people who died from covid. Blaming someone else for their death isn't going to bring them back or make it easier to deal with. It makes it harder to get through.

Divisional comments like yours says something about your character does it not?

No, the issue is exactly about getting vaccinated. Either those who refuse to get vaccinated don't think they can catch Covid or after unknowingly getting infected, being asymptomatic and passing it on to others. I'm sure a lot of those who ended up dead from Covid felt the same way. Unless they have a valid medical reason not to get vaccinated, they are misinformed, scared of needles or don't give a damn about anyone else, there is no valid excuse for not getting vaccinated. Religious objections to vaccination don't wash either. All religions I am familiar with teach responsibility and concern for others. Several surveys have shown Atheists are more likely to get vaccinated than religious people. Imagine that.
I personally know of two people that thought it was a hoax or that they were too healthy to get a serious case. Now they are statistics.
From my perspective, after Covid having killed over half a million people in this country alone, anyone who had a shred common sense or empathy for his fellow men, wouldn't hesitate to do his part to help end this pandemic. But if you are too self centered or have bought into the misinformation and ignorance that is spreading as fast as the virus, then I can only hope neither they nor their family get it.

If you are healthy to begin with, covid is not a big deal.

Not true. I had a friend who was young and the picture of health. Covid killed him in a week.

Same here. The one person I know was healthy as a horse, never sick a day in his life, early 50's and was a horse trainer (and owned a nice stable). One week and he was expired. Some people have a mild reaction, some pass. All depends on your physical makeup I guess.

My wife and I don't buy into all the hype about no masks and whatever. We both feel that we do whatever we need to do to NOT get infected and for me, it would be a death sentence as I'm a survivor.

I was so relieved to get vaccinated. Took a big load off my mind as I have enough other medical issues to deal with.

I have a friend who got it, healthy as a horse, late 50s, early 60s. Was overseas and got pulled home when Covid hit, they think he got it on the trip home.
He was in an ICU for a few weeks, on the ragged edge of getting put on a ventilator, he managed to pull through. Was weak for a couple months afterwards.
6-8 months later he went back overseas and picked it up again (a mild case this time).

I'm not into playing Russian Roulette myself. One of my renters has bought into the hype, lock stock and barrel and totally ignores any precautions and she has a 3 year old child. I just shake my head in wonderment. I hear you can still get it (Covid) with being vaccinated but, I look at it as an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and I kind of suspect that you will need a booster every year as well. Kind of like a flu shot.

I stay away from her. Pays the rent in my mailbox and if I have to go in the house, I only go in when she's not there. far as I'm concerned, she has the 'Kooties'. Don't want to see her get it, nice, pretty gal and cute kid who is really at risk with the 1.1 variant.

From what I have been told, the reason why people in Detroit were so impacted was, they are mostly African American and most of them have underlying medical issues that cause the morbidity rate to really soar. That and lack of basic healthcare, even though getting vaccinated is of no cost to anyone. The Gummit is picking up the tab.

My wife and I have a 'Cadillac' healthcare plan plus Medicare. if we didn't, we'd be living in a box under a bridge right now. My cancer treatment tab alone was over a million bucks and it's ongoing. Last 'treatment' I had 'Cyber knife' was 120 grand for 5 sessions, 15 minutes each and no massage afterwards either....lol

Healthcare costs are way over the top but if it's the difference between living and a casket, there is no price you can put on it.

We all want to 'live forever', problem is, at some point we all get to expire. Far as I'm concerned, I want to put that off as long as possible. I'm selfish in that respect, I believe most people are.

You come into this world, naked and afraid and you leave the same way. Me, I prefer to put it off as long as possible so getting vaccinated for Covid was natural progression for me and my wife.

What I've been told as well. If you get vaccinated, it's no guarantee you won't contract it, but the complications are mild and not terminal. I look at it like a flu shot. It mitigates the end result.

The big issue with it is, if you get a bad case and survive, your lungs are forever damaged and your ability to assimilate oxygen is reduced.

4.4 million Americans are injured in car accidents per year seriously enough to get medical attention.

For the sake of your fellow citizen, please do not drive. Do not put your fellow humans at risk.

It’s for the good of all.

I drive my farm tractors more than a 4 wheeled vehicle anyway. I might put 5K miles a year on my car and 2500 on the truck. Usually when we go somewhere, the wife drives anyway.

No, but the year prior to the Covid shot sure did!
