92. Vaxx'd and double boosted
Tue Aug 16, 2022, 09:09 PM
Aug 2022

Tested positive about a month ago. Called doc, was told to isolate and test again at the end of the fifth day. For a couple of days felt like ten miles of bad road, flu like symptoms. Tested again, was negatory. Felt blah for about a week, then back to terrorizing the peasants and annoying the gentry.

Thank the Maker for vaccinations. Otherwise I'd be in hospital on a ventilator or at the veteran's cemetery. I'll be in line at the clinic as soon as the new vaccines come in.

Yes, but any day now the horrible vaccine side effects are going to kick in tanyev Aug 2022 #1
Yep, any day now, 1/2 the population will suddenly die!!! RKP5637 Aug 2022 #4

Unless I'm missing something your boosted number is off. Ms. Toad Aug 2022 #55

I agree with your main point that the media is ignoring vital data. Ms. Toad Aug 2022 #79
