I got the Pfizer in February, it knocked me on my can for close to two hours and I didn’t straighten out until 5PM the next day.
The second was severe but not as bad.
I got a second shingles vax about two months ago and it floored me, felt the repercussions for 5-6 days.
Was swabbed for covid (negative, just a drill) yesterday, the doctor suggested the booster and I said “no”.
I had a series of aneurysms repaired in a Hail Mary by my vascular surgeon while I could get in the hospital last summer and fall. I recovered quickly and started my long walks again and felt good. Prior I also had covid in march ‘20- it was harsh but I bounced back into my physical routine and felt alright.
I haven’t felt whole since the two vacs in February.

Sorry to learn of your vaccine induced health issues.
You are another in a long list of people I have talked to or read about suffering nasty side effects. Hope you feel better so. Prayers.
I have not been in the city since my b-day in January ’20.
Oddly enough, I spent the summer of 2019 in China. It was my final trip to China after 12 visits. Returned home and then traveled to Italy in October of ’19 and then, partied in NYC for my birthday.
Last year, by mid-July, I asked my doctor to have me tested for antibodies. Figuring maybe I had it and didn’t know. Test came back negative. In September went for my yearly check-up and doc asked if I wanted the vaccine. I said absolutely not. He said, “Yeah, you’re healthy. You don’t need it.” I asked how many people that he treated had real trouble or died from Covid? He said he had several patients die. I pressed further. Asked were they healthy or did they have other issues? He replied that, all who passed were morbidly obese.
Not sure why I’m sharing all this, but there it is.

I got one Pfizer stick in February, and the reaction was a lot worse than that – over 2 weeks of heart irregularities, exhaustion, flu-like symptoms. My MD’s office admits that several patients have been affected for MONTHS, and they’ve even given me a note advising me not to get another. I didn’t need convincing.
Since that time I’ve had ongoing vertigo and now a neurologist tells me I’ve got Parkinson’s. Like you I’m a walker, and as soon as I get this rotator cuff fixed I plan on starting boxing instruction, highly recommended for Parkinson’s patients. And even though I’m losing motor skills, the shoulder fixed will mean guitar playing will be back on the menu.
I’ve come a loooong way and I don’t quit. And I WILL NOT BE RULED BY FEAR – mine or anybody else’s

Communist, Atheist Ed Asner’s life.
I don’t celebrate his death, but I will say that the world is a slightly better place without him.

I heard him speak and spoke briefly with him c.1985 at the annual reunion of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade here in NYC.

You vote in dems this is what you get. And once you vote them in, they have a tendency to stay by manipulating the rules. All with noble sounding rhetoric
Heard, day before yesterday, about the first “covid deaths” of anyone I almost knew (3 degrees of separation). Two went to the hospital here in Fairbanks & died there. One went back outside & died in a lower fortyeight hospital.
Don’t know the details but me, I’m avoiding hospitals like the plague.
Would be quite willing to go to a Clapton concert though, especially since he refuses to perform at a venue where vaccination proof is required.

Awesome. Up there with Slow hand’s best work.
This could actually make a difference. Music speaks to people in a way that BS doesn’t.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Communist, Atheist Ed Asner’s life.
He was as far left as a person could get, an admitted Communist and Atheist, and REALLY loved Joe Biden whom he said is “not to blame” for the Afghanistan crap, and is “doing a great job.”
