Did the Covid shot make you cranky?

[Jstpssng]

When I got my first shot, the place was packed, and I had to wait about 45 minutes. I got my second shot today, and the waiting room was empty.

I also learned that everyone on my first visit was getting their first shot of the Pfizer vaccine, and everyone today was getting their second shot of Pfizer.

So what happened to all the people? Am I one of the few survivors? I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation, but I have to say it was rather creepy.

For both of my shots I was in and out in less than 1/2 hour, including the 15 minute wait time. The only side effect I've noticed is that Rosie Odonnell was starting to look good, but a quick trip to the eye doctor took care of that.

Just . . . to funny . . .

It was Ellen Degenerate that started looking good to me.

Never mind . . . I was going to say something that would not fly . . .

It was Ellen Degenerate that started looking good to me.

I took a liking to Ellen after she 'stold the show' on so many episodes of 'Open House' in the early '90s as the receptionist at a hipster real estate company. Like Roseanne, Everclear (190 proof available locally, it's Michigan ) and an occasional whiff of gasoline, some things are best appreciated in small doses, and not every week.

btw, I don't mind Ellen's gay thing a bit, or anyone else's that I don't share a bed with. Apologies for 'live and let live' altruism.

I never liked Ellen's show, I always found her to be overly arrogant and her snide and careless remarks to guests always turned me off. Her sexual preference has never been an issue, its always been about attitude.

Got my last moderna shot yesterday and had a modestly sore arm and worked all day. Was so tired last night I fell asleep while watching my nephews concert that was being streamed. Woke up this morning after 11 hours of sleep. Of course I was woke up by a certain sore arm many times.

Its been a long, long time since the last time I slept that long. I don't feel to bad this morning. Dearest says she'll make me chicken soup with stars in it.

My wife seems to think chicken soup contains an antibiotic

So, you had corona virus, then you got the shots, then you felt bad. You'll likely die of something completely different which will be recorded as cororna virus on your death cert. Why did you get the shots after you already had survived?

My father had cancer. Multiple myeloma.
That caused him to develop Amyloidosis.
The Amyloidosis caused a buildup of amyloid proteins in his organs, interfering with their normal functions.
That caused him to go into organ failure.
The organ failure caused congestive heart failure.
His heart couldn't pump blood and his lungs filled with fluid.
He drowned in his own fluid in a horrible death.

The death certificate listed the cause of death as congestive heart failure due to complications of Amyloidosis, as a complication of cancer.

Now let's switch to COVID.

Let's say someone gets COVID and it enters their lungs, starts to replicate, and starts destroying cells.
Their immune system responds and starts fighting it.
That might cause inflammation.
That might cause pneumonia.
Their lungs can't provide oxygen to their blood and their organs start to fail.
Their liver or kidneys or both stop functioning.
They go into renal failure and die.

They died of renal failure, not COVID, right?

Wrong.

They'd have never gotten renal failure had they not gotten pneumonia had the not gotten COVID.

The cause of death is renal failure due to complications of pneumonia as a complication of COVID.

That's fairly easy for everyone to understand.

As to why I got vaccinated after already having COVID, there are several reasons. For one, I had a mild case. So I don't know how well my body built up natural immunities. This explains it better than I could.

"The CDC recommends people who have already had COVID-19 still get vaccinated. That's because the vaccine could create a bigger immune response, which better prepares the body to fight off the coronavirus in the future. Plus, the threat of a severe COVID-19 infection outweighs any benefits of natural immunity."

After consulting with my physician, and reading a lot, it was an easy decision.

Everyone else’s covid shots make me cranky.

How do you know if someone got the shot, just wait. They’ll tell you.
