43 year old female teacher here in our area just died - no known co-morbidities. 4 kids aged 7 to 17. She was vaccine hesitant - wanted more data. Tragically realized her mistake too late - called her husband from the hospital and told him to take the 17 yo to get vaccinated. I am tired of hearing these stories. Get your shot, people.
Did his Facebook profile or anything else say why he wasn't vaccinated?Guy I went to high school died this week. Day short of his 45th birthday. Wife was vaccinated. He wasn't. Got along with him back in the day. We talked about sports a lot on Facebook. Giants fan. Hated Lebron GOAT talk. Real good guy. Sucks.

Yet again more proof that boosters are not just a cash grab by the pharmaceutical companies.
If we don't get on the ball to fucking approving this for everybody soon, we're going to be in a world of fucking hurt, We will have multiple strains of the virus, that everyone can catch. Yeah, maybe your body will fight it off quicker than otherwise, but it's still fertile ground for mutations and additional variants; never mind that people still get severe consequences from the breakthrough infections.
Took a home COVID test last night after clocking a fever of 101.
Came back negative thankfully.
Yeah I had my booster awhile ago and it did nothing, in comparison had absolute shit time with the second shot though, malaise, extreme myalgia, 102+ temp for 2 days, rigors, lymphadenopathy where my draining cervical lymph node was the size of a golf ball for weeks, good times yet I did it again with all that being a chance.
I do have a hypothesis that it’s not just strictly immune related, though that plays a huge part and could also be related to whatever your body is constantly engaged with at that time (you are in a constant state of “infection”). Instead I think it’s somewhat dependent on efficiency of RNA uptake, cell type, and current replication capacity of the cell. There’s no controlling that with the vaccine and the reason why dose response is pretty randomized across the board.
