    Tested...really...no...wtf

    I don't feel ill so why would I give even a slight motivation to be 'tested'
    and no doubt fk-ing reported...no...fk that...
    I signed into Texas Cares antibody assessment program in Sept., tested for antibodies every 3 months, 4th test upcoming. Yes, the state has my results..., and knows I haven't been jabbed or infected.

    These are not tests for the coof, but for antibodies due to coof and/or due to the jab...

    Our nanny told us yesterday that her husband got shingles - twice - within two months of getting vaxxed and boosted.

    He’s 24 years old.
    Shingles is something you hesitate to wish on your worst enemy. I hope he now knows to go straight to the doctor and get the shot when he feels the first tinge of shingles pain. If you get the medicine the first day, shingles can be knocked right out. Give it a couple of days to gain a foothold and you're in for much suffering.

    Proven (unlike covid) immunizations for shingles. But some doctors are hesitant to prescribe them for younger adults. Think I heard some of them aren't FDA approved for the young adults?

    Yeah when I got it, the pain was borderline unbearable.

    Has anyone else noticed that they seemed to be coming out with advertisements for more and more different type of vaccines to get? Just saw one for whooping cough advertising that "it's not just for kids, get yours today."

    Maybe it's just I'm suspicious by nature, but I don't recall so many different types of vaccines being advertised in the past. I wasn't anti-vax before COVID, but this sure is making me one.

    Once one became suspect, you have to question all the rest... I may not be anti-vaccine, but I sure am vaccine hesitant...

    I got shingles a while back, but I got 'em on my forehead. No pain either, which I was very thankful for. Went to CVS right away, they gave me some valocylovir, and it cleared after a handful of days.

    That can be incredibly bad. Shingles anywhere on the face can threaten your eyes. Usually the shingles start on the trunk and as they get worse can spread up and down. People have lost an eye when the shingles spread too far up across the neck and then face.

    When my mom got shingles it started low then moved over a fairly wide area, threatening her right eye. Since she had already lost her left eye when she was a child, this was terrifying for her. The pain had already been so bad for so long that, as she later confessed to me, she had contemplated suicide. I feel relatively certain that if she had been blinded, I would have lost her to a self-inflicted injury soon after. Coming from that experience, I'd say you really dodged a bullet.

    Good for you for knocking it down early. I note, though, that you are basically young and healthy; surely your natural resilience helped. For folks with compromised health, shingles that isn't fixed instantly is usually a major ordeal involving tortuous pain over a long period of time.

    Mr Gate's company is heavily invested in making mRNA solutions for EVERYTHING! They invented the gene splicing technology.
    As Brandon just extended the emergency clause, you will NOT get the side effects or contents of the various 'solutions' to disease. They even didn't do a placebo test for the new kid's jab. FDA and NIH will not keep track of side effects anymore. You are the guinea pig.

    Indeed, I feel very blessed and very fortunate to have had a glancing blow.

    Yep tested positive this morning. I'll probably get the prescription. Wife isn't up yet she took the prescription for 5 days.
    Man that prescription sucks, leaves a bad taste in your mouth. My wife warned me, after a day and a half out of 5 days I'm stopping it. Don't feel too bad today, I will keep quarantining myself, I would like to ride my bicycle today.
