Itās quite literally a vaccineš
Anybody had the new COVID?
- Thread starter SDS Tiger
- Start date
Yep, it's not an MRNA injection.
I had it (for the first time actually) a few weeks ago. I felt awful for a day, but never ran a fever. Then it was a semi-bad cold for a week.
Are you drunk or do you normally breathe out of yore mouth?
Probably dum dums like you who are scared of needles and education.
It's Flu season and possible you could have had both. Did you rapid test for COVID or go to a clinic? They are supposed to test for both when you present with the symptoms you describe to rule out Flu or determine if you need Tamiflu or the new anti-PA meds.
There is some evidence that the more times you get it the worse it can be for you.
Neither. Except for when I have the common cold/the Covid/Influenza and can't breath through my nose - oh wait - can't tell you the last time I had any of those ailments.
Yeah but he neva gets sick! Thatās all the data he needs!!!
My whole family came down with influenza A in December of 2022 and it was the worst thing any of us has had in a long time. Three of us required IV for dehydration. We were all down for the better part of a week and had to cancel a planned vacation. All of us have had COVID, some more than once, but COVID was nothing for any of us compared to that bout of the flu.
There is a massive effort to design universal flu vaccines (so they don't require annual updates based on the major circulating clades at the time). A few are in different stages of clinical trials.
There is also an effort to design mRNA based flu vaccines.
The flu vaccine as it is is based on the epi data for all circulating viruses and their % representative in the population. There are also 2 different vaccine seasons (Northern vs Southern Hemisphere) and the WHO vaccine consultation meeting happens 2X/year (March & Sept) to present data from all the collaborating centers in the world. There is a ton of work that goes into it and at the end it's essentially a best guess for what the major circulating clades will be for H3, H1, B-Vic. You have to pick so the vaccine manufacturers have time to grow the vaccine viruses to create the vaccine supply.
DOC!!!!
There is a new one who moved in with her parents while her new home is being completed. She is only 33 and HAWT!!!!
I mean HAWT!! I asked if she could give me a physical and she laughed and said that she is a kidney specialist--can't spell the name of the speciality. I told her that I think I need my kidneys checked and a thorough exam asap!
@SH0RTS
She is so young. I see her next month at Emory!!
PJD
PAPA BARE PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!!!!!
Take yore MEDS!!!!!
Yes, there is a new strain (thatās the way viruses work) and it tends to be a little tougher for some than the last two strains.
Iāve had it once (2022)ā¦mild for a few days but it finally settled in my lungs and by the time I tested negative for it I had pneumonia in one lung accompanied by a rather large and nasty mucus plug.
Took me longer to recover from that than actually battling the standard COVID symptoms.
At my age I donāt need or want another round with it.
Last year (2023) I had RSV and that was not pleasant, either.
When you are living in your 9th decade lung infections are not your friends.
Holy bullshit, batman. Please tell me you don't subscribe to any of that.
I got the 2 Modena shots and I had a 103 fever for 3 straight days after each shot. Then I got COVID about 7-8 months later and have a 105 fever for 5-6 days. Maybe the shot saved my life or something but I wonāt ever be getting another COViD vaccine due to how bad they made me feel.

The bammer had the same experience. He got extremely sick and missed multiple days of work after the initial round of covid shots. He had the original covid before vaccine and about 4 times since and said the covid made him less sick than the vaccine.
He also got a lump in his pec shortly after the first two shots and had to go get a mammogram. It was labeled as āprobably benignā and disappeared a couple of months later. Just really weird stuff.

I got COVID sometime in 2020 and was completely asymptomatic. I only knew from getting tested for the antibodies after my daughter had it. She was almost but not quite asymptomatic. We don't know if she had gotten it from me or I from her. I got the two initial Pfizer vaccines once they became available. Several months later, I got COVID and it was symptomatic that time, but not very much so, like a mild case of the flu. I've never gotten a booster and also never contracted COVID (as far as I know) since then either. I will not willingly take another COVID booster. If I were doing it over, I probably would refuse the initial vax too.
That's the worst reaction I've ever heard of. Like I say, every shot I got, about 6-8 hours later I started feeling like crap and it lasted 12 hours or more then I was fine like nothing ever happened. But that was enough to make me not want another one if it's not really necessary.
Same, we only got it because we were endlessly worried about exposing our parents and my grandmother. We all ended up getting covid at the beach anyway.
My kids were sick recently and our urgent care swabbed for covid, flu, strep in one go. My boys came up positive for strep (it's ripping through the elementary school right now). But the doc said the new covid looks a lot like strep (sore throat, body aches, fever). So they're testing all three. Flu will ramp up in a few weeks when kids are indoors more and start wiping snot on everything.
My mom is in her late 70s and refused to get the vax. Never did get one. We stayed away from her for many months to avoid exposing her. We suspect she had COVID at some point anyway, but can't verify it. If she did, it had to be mild as she never had to go to the doc or hospital. I was pretty sure she would get it and die, but she's okay. Several old and/or otherwise unhealthy people in her church and community did get it and die though.
Parents, both 80, got it 2 weeks ago. Very mild flu like symptoms for 2 days but not much cough/chest congestion. Father was back in his office on the third day.
I probably got it. Throat swelled a little around the same time but one dose of Ibuprofen knocked it down.
Same as when I got Omicron (Sugar bowl 2022).

There are known worse reactions to the COVID vaccine AS WELL AS MOST OTHER VACCINESā¦.but numerically RARE.
My adult son had one of those rare reactions to one of two vaccines he received on the same day from his doctor two years agoā¦it was either a COVID vaccine or a Flu vaccineā¦.as this rare condition is a potential reaction to ANY vaccine.
He was able to recover from it but is still monitored every 6 months (blood tests) and has been told he should never receive another vaccine shot.
It was scary for him and us for several months.
At age āREALLY OLDā I have probably received three dozen or more vaccine shots in my lifetime and have never experienced any reactions or even discomfort. Not one. And that includes 6 COVID shots.
Yet my genetically very similar son reacted to one of two vaccines taken the same day and his reaction was life threatening and requires annual monitoring to ensure it has not returned.
Itās mathematical, folksā¦..not a conspiracy or medical ineptitude.
Just got home from WallyGreens! I am fine. Just a bad head cold I guess. No covid or flu.
Pappa Jew Dawg is back and can go to Athens. Section 104 here I come!
Big Blue-- I am wondering if I should just skip this game?? I am scared a little and @SH0RTS has strongly advised me to stay put. Then again, @stutsman23 needs support over there. I am on the fence. Mamma The Baptist Bear does not care. She just wants me to not cuss when I get upset with Hew.
I am so glad that I just have a cold!

Papa Bare, I am not superstitious, but does Auburn usually win when you attend UGA games or do they usually lose?

Well, as of late--we lose!
But, I was there for wins in 69, 71, 77, 79, and some in between these and our last win in 2005. We have not won since then-sigh!
I was there for this one too!
@stutsman23
Papa, according to @murray_hitchock we are gonna pull an upset, so if you believe that can happen, this might be one you don't want to miss. If we did pull the upset, it probably would be the most fun time in Athens for us since that 1999 upset.
Just takes one moment in one game. Just one.
