Ugh ๐ฉ I met my new doctor today, had my yearly exam, and got three vaccines.
-
@alice I got the flue vaccine last year and felt great the next day, so I went and also got the COVID vaccine (first time Pfister)
I was dead for the next two days ๐
But I'd also do it again. Talked to an immunologist before all that and he said that even if an vaccine takes you out for a bit, the stress on your body is so much lower because there's no real attack happening and what's knocking you out is the response, not the vaccine.@alice side note: what always helps me to get back up quickly again is: protein ๐ง
Don't know if that's just by body, but having some protein shakes during recovery helps me feel much better much quicker.
Might just be placebo though

nobody does
but we grimace, get the shot, and carry on
children are excused a more dramatic reaction. and some adults have valid phobias or trauma about needles (and they steel themselves and put aside their fears, because they can think. emotion is not a problem, lack of thinking is)
but, there exists supposedly grown adults who "function" on this "Mummy, Mummy, I don't like needles! ๐ญ" immaturity. *and* it informs their entire political attitude towards vaccines
morons
@benroyce @CppGuy @alice My oldest daughter hated needles, got VERY dramatic, but I didnโt give her a choice, we followed the schedule.
When it was my younger daughterโs turn, a decade later, the older one said, โlook! no big deal!โ and got her shots. Younger one went through the whole process more calmly (holding her sibโs hand, of course)
I stood there with my jaw on the floor. ๐๐

one of the more nauseating things in life is seeing children, not even teenagers, understanding and grasping simple things quickly that grown ass adults have based their entire identity on not understanding. to their profound detriment, nevermind all of society's

@benroyce @CppGuy @grammasaurus @alice Thatโs a good idea. Get the shot yourself, with your kid, then they get the shot. โItโs normal, acceptable, see?โ

exactly
because you're an adult. who knows how to adult
something that seems to be dying in this world
i'm not speaking in an "old guy yelling at clouds" kind of way
we have rfkjr dismantling vaccine compliance. something a lot of people voted for. because... uggh

Ugh ๐ฉ I met my new doctor today, had my yearly exam, and got three vaccines. Now I feel like shit from the jabs, and lemme tell you...
I'd get them again in a fucking heartbeat, because science and social responsibility fucking rock ๐ค
@alice Are the doctors in the USA still recommending to get COVID vaccines?

i think "the day after a vaccine sucks" is a big motivator of the antivax movement
no one likes that day
but for a certain sort of painfully ignorant type of person, that is all vaccines mean
the whole "protect you from diseases that will REALLY make you miserable or deathly ill, for a week, a month, or years, possibly maim you, permanently, or possibly kill you" part...
you know, the fucking obvious
it doesn't matter to people who can't or won't think about really simple things

@alice I love bryony Claire ๐
@tired_panda likewise! Just found her work recently, and I've been binge-watching it since then.

I'm lying on the couch, wearing a bear suit, and eating ice cream while watching Bryony Claire.
Self-care evening.

i know, scientifically, why some vaccines mount an immune response you can feel, and why some vaccines mount an immune response you can't feel
at the same time, i desire that every vaccination i get cause a following day of misery. because otherwise i worry it didn't take
i understand this reaction of mine is completely irrational
hypochondriacs unite!

@alice You deserve some chocolates and hot beverage of your choice, with honey if you like, and a day off in bed, with the option of hugs and cuddles).
Take care and thanks for participating in herd immunity.
(I have a jab due soon, which I have to pay out of pocket, because I'm allegedly too old for it).
