Gonna get a 2nd booster ?

My oldest daughter has covid. She tested positive Thursday. She thinks she got it last Sunday at NRG stadium in Houston as my "grand" graduated with her 'Masters" there Sunday. She has been boosted, etc. So far just a fever, can't keep any food down and a lot of coughing. She is sleeping a lot. Would appreciate any prayers if you are a praying person.

Your daughter is in my thoughts and prayers.
 

I was so terrified when I attended a baseball game last year and then a graduation dance in June of last year. There were so many people at both events.

We didn't go to Uvalde for Eddy's graduation dance and/or his graduation for that matter. It is getting more and more difficult to drive that far for my hubby. I offer to drive but he doesn't want me to. So, I'm feeling very guilty that we didn't go.
 
My Wife and I have had the 2 original injections, and the 2 booster shots. Both of us are 70 plus in age, and I have a number of medical problems that put me in the "seriously compromised group". Our Family Practice unit at Women's College Hospital will contact us when it is time for the fall flu shot in the next 30 days. JimB in Toronto.
 
Got a third booster Friday. Pfizer. Sore arm at the shot location. Experienced that in prior boosts, no surprise there.

What did surprise me were the overall body aches and feeling of exhaustion. Late Friday and Saturday (yesterday) were tough. First time I've experienced any uncomfortable side effects. This third must have been a 'heavy boost'?

Today, almost 100% again. Back to usual aches and pains. Those I can deal with. Cheers. Arnold
 
So far, no second booster, just had a double flu shot this last Friday.

Did not want to combine Both like was done last flu season.

So tired of all things medical, doctor's appointment, testing, medication and shots....

I had my 2nd booster earlier this year ahead of S Hemisphere Winter. So did Hubby but then he was hospitalised with a broken wrist and contracted a bacterial infection and finally Covid, resulting in 3 weeks of misery in the hospital. I got Covid too, from visiting Hubby.

The good news is that I received prompt antiviral treatment from my GP and never felt ill all the time I was in isolation at home. I felt so well that after 2 days I did a second RAT to check whether the first was accurate. It was, but I was only mildly affected.

I would recommend taking any boosters/treatment on offer.

That is your choice dseag, i also agree with john cycling ……
as for protecting ”OTHERS” If others had obeyed the rules in the first place ,when we had our first lockdown, it would not of come to all this mask wearing , vaccines, 6ft distances etc etc…..
just in our small road , people were , still having parties, having their hair cut , and totally ignoring any rules !! Yes protect yourself and stay as safe as you can, but others ? That’s down to them ,im afraid …….

And besides, if the vaccine protects, the "others" have nothing to worry about, since they're protected from the unvaccinated.
Their disdain for the unvaccinated is a sure indication of their own lack of confidence in the vaccine. Much like the similar disdain for those who choose not to get flu shots.
 
Got my 3 booster bivalent Pfizer a couple days ago. No side effects but did have a stiff neck. Thought it was because of new pillow?? It’s gone now anyway so no complaints. Glad it’s done. Worried about hubby getting his though. Last time we tried to schedule it during off chemo week but it still put him down for a week. It’s a crazy world.

May be an image of 5 people and text that says 'When somebody says they trust the science, they're not doing this: They're just doing this:'

What is your point Win231?

I simply recounted my personal experience of Covid after a certain number of vaccinations and after receiving antiviral medication.

Are you implying that I have been brainwashed by TV hosts?

While not an actual research scientist I did slog my way through a Bachelor of Science degree in the 1980s and have a fair idea how medical science has advanced since the days of Louis Pasteur and Madame Curie, and down the years to the present time.

I can tell a snake oil (in my country goanna oil) salesman when I see or hear one.

I am willing to accept the lesser risk when it comes to deciding between two options such as whether or not to accept a vaccine. I've been doing this since the time when my children were babies.

What is your basis for refusing any vaccine?
Would you take a tetanus shot but not one for Covid?
If so, why?
 
I got the last booster Saturday. No problems. My arm is a little soar but no sickness. I am so careful that I will continue to wear a mask in stores or other places where I could get close to others. They say to wait a week or two before the vaccine becomes most effective. Science can not give us perfect results, but it provides the best way to figure out complex issues. I know all about the skeptics. They have always been around. Being skeptical of things is healthy. We need to weigh the pros and cons, but then it is up to one's own feelings/thoughts to either accept or reject the product.
 
For those of you who are anti-vaccines where you just have to go to a drug store for a shot, try the Cologuard test where you have to poop into a little bucket, scrape a bit of poop into a little vial, and then mail the bucket and the vial to the testing facility. And try that with a knee that hurts like hell and makes it difficult to squat.

I did that two weeks ago. They texted me that my poop sample had been contaminated somehow and I would have to do it again. Uh, uh. That ain't gonna happen.

The Cologuard test is only about 92% accurate, so if your test is negative or positive, there's about a 1 in 10 chance that it was erroneous, so even if it comes back negative, you still could have cancer. It's just a way for these testing facilities to make a boatload of money without really providing anything of value.
 
I hope that nasal vaccine makes its way to the USA. It might even be more effective fighting infection since most of those nasty Covid germs are inhaled.
