Ugh 😩 I met my new doctor today, had my yearly exam, and got three vaccines.

@benroyce @CppGuy @alice I sometimes feel like crap after a vaccine, yeah. I sometimes feel like crap after I eat too much. Or during air travel. I always feel like crap after I drink wine now that I'm in my 40s. Feeling like crap once in a while is part of the human experience and you can't stop it from happening, especially if it brings something good - like staying healthy.
@renata @benroyce @CppGuy @alice I once had a reaction to a flu shot that was almost the same as the flu itself, except for no cough, no six weeks of bronchitis after it, and no need to isolate to protect other people.
Those symptoms had a known source creating zero risk to others as this is not a live virus vaccine. This was the flu vaccine containing the Sydney strain, about 9 months after having had that and had a case that would have sent most people to the hospital though I ruled that out for personal reasons. Thus on seeing it again my immune system hit back very hard I guess.
Somehow I've never had a detectable unpleasant reaction to a covid vaccine, and so far only one symptomatic covid case.

they wont let us have a shingles shot until we're 50 here in Marlaina's Alberta -
makes me think of this:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7120417/
of course this idea fires up the whole genetic engineering debate
but i wonder: if people could just eat foods, and get vaccinated thataways, if antivax hysteria might disappear
(or maybe make it worse, from the conspiracy theory wing, even though this quells the needle hesitancy wing)
@benroyce @renata @CppGuy @alice An edible vaccine must never be the only option! Whatever food you use there will be someone who cannot eat it due to allergies or taste/smell issues.
I have had severely twisted taste and smell all my life and cannot even be in the same room with most foods being cooked. Putting a vaccine on a hot dog and asking me to eat it would be like asking me to eat a turd containing the same vaccine

@LukefromDC @renata @CppGuy @alice no argument. It should be a range of options to catch people who can't tolerate one or the other option

I paid for it myself. It seemed like a good investment. I am sorry that everyone isn't able to do that. Even insurance doesn't cover it. $450
My husband's cousin had to have shoulder surgery to replace the tendons from another part of his body because of damage from shingles.
I did the cost benefit analysis and thought it was worth it.

@LukefromDC @benroyce @CppGuy @alice I absolutely cannot tolerate the smell of pork being cooked, including bacon and this toot speaks to me

I got shingles at 45ish and whoa, it was the least inconvenient case possible and it was debilitating. Just the itching! But also the stickiness!
... and discovering how many 20somethings around me weren't vaccinated against ?chickenpox?measles? whichever the root disease is, and expected me to stay home, okay, but didn't see why they should get vaccinated. Maybe I convinced some.

I'm too old to have been vaccinated against #chickenpox as a child. By coincidence, I'm recovering from chickenpox right now. In adults, it's a horrible experience. Most of my torso is numb, I have bad abdominal and back pain, and I'm covered from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet in spots. Last night, I got less than three hours' sleep.
#Shingles would have been worse. I'll definitely pay for the shingles #vaccine as soon as I'm over this.
The NHS is giving free #MMR vaccines to anyone who didn't have them as a child (including me, because of my age). I had my two doses recently and I'm glad I did.

just to be clear to you and luke, they're not talking ingredients in processed meats, they're talking genetically engineering food crops. potatos, corn, tomtatoes, bananas, etc
(which is a whole other contentious topic)

@benroyce @LukefromDC @CppGuy @alice Hmm I love tomtatoes :D
(sorry)

there is also the tomacco
hybrid tomato-tobacco
the funny thing about that one is it was in a simpson's episode as a fictional plant. then someone successfully created it inspired by the show 😆
potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, tobacco, petunias, nightshade, etc:
it's all one closely related family of plants
i would argue the most generous plant family to humans, by far

@strypey We're moving forward with end-to-end encrypted messaging over ActivityPub. https://github.com/swicg/activitypub-e2ee/ MLS, the encryption technology, was meant to scale to hundreds of thousands of people, but my guess is that AP E2EE chats will more likely scale to the more personal handful, max a couple of dozen. I don't think it's a Discord replacement, but it's in the mix.
