    Well horn2 guess you’ve made me happy I elected this year to not get the flu vax. It’s usually standard practice for me to get it but for whatever reason, guess just all the vax hubbub in general I said no this year. So far so good.
    Oh and daughter and one granddaughter, the only two in fam to get the vax (both initial and the boost) have just now gotten Covid, one first time and one second time. Life is so full of surprises.

    When the PA gave me the flu shot in October I asked her if she chose to get one at her age (much younger than me). She said "I'm so over vaccines to be honest ". I think from now on I'll think twice on the flu shot.

    As soon as I develop a hankering to hear it, I will be sure to make the request.

    Oh my, my thoughts on when I might have that hankering is making me shiver and teeth chatter.

    Checking in. I started taking Paxlovid Friday night. It's two doses (three pills in each dose) every 12 hours for 5 days. I'm making good progress. Definitely out of the woods but still have a bit of a cough. I'm tired but it's from not sleeping well. I'm waking up at 2AM and 3:30 AM due to all the fluids I'm ingesting.

    Anyway, that how it's coming along. My wife got thru it without a prescription drug, but my Leukemia made me feel a little leery so I did what my Oncologist advised me to do.

    Glad you are doing well under the circumstances.

    Just the facts. I began having symptoms last Friday and tested positive that same day. I started on Paxlovid that evening and took my last dosage Wed Morning. (It's a five day pack; two dosages, 12 hours apart, 3 pills in each dosage. It puts a nasty taste in your mouth but otherwise, that was it for side-effects). I tested negative yesterday (six days after testing positive if your calculator is not handy or your drunk. Ha). My wife tested negative after ten days (but didn't try before that) after not taking anything prescribed (Paxlovid or Ivermectin). I wish she had tested earlier for a better sample versus mine. I was feeling pretty good, which prompted me to take the test. Fever was gone and my energy was way up. Last night I woke up with a coughing binge so I went to the other room. I'm good now, though my voice is teetering on laryngitis, which is always a problem for me during allergy season (it always hits me in Laredo, which is a very dusty town, or at least it once was; many of those streets were dirt roads for many years).

    Anyway, thems the facts.

    Some on the paxlovid had a covid rebound once the drugs were taken and re-tested positive a few days later. Let’s hope not the case for you.

    Just like the *real* intelligent people were saying right in the middle of Covid. All the fake-*** intelligentsia had their unenlightened attack dogs in the media calling us all kinds of names and worse, instead of actually listening to the common sense truth.

    I saw this at the Bullock Museum today, and I don't think I've ever seen a product more resounding conflict with its stated message. If you wear a mask now, you represent the complete opposite of the Come and Take It mindset.

    Well unless you’re wearing a holstered Colt 45 and there’s the word ‘please’ at the end.

    Mona,

    Want to lose weight? Take Pfizer vaccine. Lost 45 pounds in six weeks, 60 pounds total. Started at 210, lost down to 150. Taken a couple of years to get back to 175.

    Lady in Boerne in ICU in San Antonio for three weeks.

    They don't like to talk about that.

    Me too. I never bought into this whole thing. Did people die? Yes. Was it anything like they were describing? No. Was it obvious to anyone paying attention to reality around them instead of what was being lied about in the media? Absolutely yes!

    Throughout this thread and throughout the pandemic I posted notes about what I saw with 500+ employees and 35,000+ customers per week creating millions of people interactions weekly through almost two years of this garbage. Not a single employee death, but it created an overwhelming fear of death. People were acting crazy.

    It was 100% a mind game trick to divide the country and it worked. I still see people wearing face masks and complete face shields even though it's be thoroughly proven to be ineffective. Some people were permanently scarred and it pisses me off to this day. Mostly that the government would do this, but also that so many people are incapable of independent thought.

    Vol,

    We had at least one death in Harris County blamed on Covid. That’s when I got scared because apparently Covid jumped out in front of the guy’s motorcycle and caused him to crash and die. Less than a dozen car wreck fatalities blamed on Covid.
