I OD on that stuff every day.In the meantime - Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Zinc - should be used by everyone to improve their immune system.

I've heard that alcohol helps so I'll be hoisting a few later this evening.I OD on that stuff every day.
Hint: search for Bailey’s Mudslide, the one made with Bailey’s Irish Cream and Godiva Chocolate liqueur and vodka(whee!). It’s got cream from the Bailey’s, and ice, but not ice cream. No bacon, but a side o’ crisp bacon is never a wrong move.Between @OldRetSWO and @Capt MJ, I’ve learned that one can boost their immunity by way of alcohol and ice cream. So I googled “boozy ice cream drinks” and the search results looked very promising. I’m now going to google “boozy ice cream drinks with bacon”....
Whatever comes up could be a nice digestif for tonight’s dinner of BBQ baby back ribs, roasted smashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
Words to live by.a side o’ crisp bacon is never a wrong move
Oh yes.In the city I live in... we have entire burger place that specializes in boozy milkeshakes... and yes, many have bacon. Once you get the COVID vaccine it will also prevent you from gaining weight from eating these things too. I mean we can dream right?
Pretty much identical to my first one... the second one on the 8th.Okay everyone. I was going to start another thread but am way too lazy for that.
I got my first shot at around 0700 today. It was the Pfizer-BioNTech version. I get the second one on February 19th.
To any of you out there who have needle-phobia, it was a tiny little (25 gauge, 4mm long) needle with a .3ml dose.
I seriously did not feel it.
My wife has already had both doses of the same vaccine. No issues, other than the 2nd one made her tired (which means she was building antibodies and it was working).

This is a red herring. The issues with Thalidomide took place when medical rigor looked very different than it does today, not to mention the function of a drug is completely different than an mRNA vaccine. Sure "you don't need a medical degree" but I think everyone is better off listening to the people who have one.
Listening to doctors is not an appeal to authority, it's recognizing that they have spent their lives understanding how the human body works and are working in everyone's best interests.
Tibet?I need to catch up on this thread. I was in Tibet for a week and the WiFi was iffy up there.
Military accessions aside, I can’t imagine the COVID vaccine will not be mandatory for the operational forces.
I’ve given tens of thousands and received a whole bunch of vaccines. I hated giving the live virus ones. The storage and preparation was bad enough but there would usually be at least one sailor with a systemic reaction that required a visit to the MO or hospital. The great majority of reactions to all immunizations were local. Arm pain, swelling, and redness is expected.
Some were more notorious for the ability to cause misery. Yellow fever and plague for sure. I was the senior corpsman at CBIRF where fighting germs was our business so sailors and Marines didn’t have the option to decline our required immunizations. They didn’t cite the constitution or talk about their loss of freedom. They lined up and took their medicine. The anthrax series is a doozy. When I started mine, the HM1 told me, “the first couple are not too bad but the third will make your triceps feel like it’s being pulled off your bone.” Huh? No joke, when he gave me my third, the back of my left arm felt like a hand had reached in and pulled. Hard. He disposed of the syringe and was putting the vial away and without seeing my reaction he said “told ja.”
The year 2001 was interesting and busy for us. The Cole had been bombed in October 2000 and we started ramping up our readiness along with covering the inauguration of Bush-43 as well as his address to a joint session of congress. I suppose if I were writing a book I would say we were hearing “chatter” of interest by persons to do us harm using various methods. At one point I owned all available Small Pox vaccine in DOD. At least that’s what I was told. That’s another difficult immunization to manage. The storage, preparation, and administration are all a pain. Small Pox and all the rest though are all required and more importantly, may some day save a life.
