Got Vaccinated Today

[Gunny]

Am unsure how I feel about never taking that (or any) vaccine, thanks to a history of vaccine-induced *rhabdomyolysis. And I wonder had we done the covid thing more like chicken-pox (when someone is sick, bring over otherwise-healthy folk so they can get it, then build future immunity) we'd have been better-off.


*"Rhabdomyolysis is a complex medical condition involving the rapid dissolution of damaged or injured skeletal muscle. This disruption of skeletal muscle integrity leads to the direct release of intracellular muscle components, including myoglobin, creatine kinase (CK), aldolase, and lactate dehydrogenase, as well as electrolytes, into the bloodstream and extracellular space. Rhabdomyolysis ranges from an asymptomatic illness with elevation in the CK level to a life-threatening condition associated with extreme elevations in CK, electrolyte imbalances, acute renal failure (ARF), and disseminated intravascular coagulation." Normal CK range is 22 to 198 U/L. My CK levels were 50,000 u/L.

Pretty good case for "why not", IMO.

Like trump FDA signing off on it and practically the only thing about COVID he did right?

Um, they didn't sign off on it. Approved for EUA, not formally approved as any other 'vaccine' would.

This isn't even a vaccine by definition. It is MRNA gene therapy. Vaccines use isolated and weakened versions of viruses. This particular one does not because no one has ever actually been able to isolate the COVID-19 strain and keep it stable enough to work with it.

Uh yeah, they did. Emergency Use Authorization as you mentioned is them signing off on it. The formal approval process is ongoing. Pfizer has requested full approval.

But call it what you will, rah, trump administration, rah! They actually got something right.

My take is those that take the vaccine shot are doing what they think is best.
I have no problem at all with that decision.
However, I stand alone-- as is my usual way.
I've decided to wait and see for as long as possible.
And only if forced at the point of a gun -do I yield to submit to that vaccine shot.
And maybe not even then.. Yes, that is me and my way.
As I am of Viking, German, English/Irish bloodlines-thus not ever prone to yielding or submitting
to anything I deem to be quite likely unnecessary or potentially bad for me....
And that way/decision to the point of dedicated and unrelenting ferocious battle.
Such is and always has been either the great strength or else the deep curse that I carry.
As is the razor-sharp sword that has never rusted in my scabbard and never will .... -Tyr
