Apology accepted.
I do not talk about vaccines anymore since the Pandemic was declared over. Yet, when I do talk about vaccines...it's more from a personal experience. Yet, the one thing I am very outspoken about is the
"distribution" of vaccines.
Simply, people should not blindly be getting a vaccination shot until their doctor tests them for Covid and tests them to determine if they have medical allergies to some of the ingredients in the vaccine and review a patient list of current medications to look for any adverse interaction between vaccine and someone's existing medication.
I am allergic to some of the ingredients in J&J and Pfizer. Had I taken one of those vaccines...it could have killed me considering those two vaccines contain the same ingredients I was given in medication to treat pneumonia when I was hospitalized and in a coma back in the fall of 2016...my heart stopped twice from an allergic reaction.
An illness that I only survived because I'm a none smoker, rarely drink alcohol, nutritionist by the way I eat and I exercise 5 days a week (I row, play hockey and winter camping/hiking in the mountains).
Fast forward, my Doctor only approved me for vaccination with Moderna and I was tested for Covid an hour before my vaccination with Moderna.
Immunology 201...always test patients for a possible infection before vaccination to prevent a severe adverse reaction.
Thus I did not blindly take the vaccine like
+90% of those who took a Covid vaccine...people were (still are) only asked to fill out a 1 - 2 page questionnaire about their health status at one of those large vaccination sites or clinics...no testing.
I'll explain it this way. Had I blindly taken J&J or Pfizer without being tested for any medical allergies...I would not be here today to talk about my vaccination. I would just be another one of the
1% that had a severe adverse reaction that resulted in death or vaccine injury.
Anyways, I grew up in a U.S. military family and lived abroad in several countries as a toddler before we came stateside to Kentucky. Vaccination for military soldiers and family members has always been mandated since I was a kid and mandated in the U.S. in most states to attend daycare and elementary schools.
Also, I'm part of a nationwide Covid vaccination study of Veterans by the VA...they take blood tests and review my medical records every time I visit a VA hospital anywhere in the United States whenever I return to the states. Their data lines up with VAERS and I still have access to a few research Doctors (former college buddies) who have done independent studies...their data also lines up with VAERS.
Therefore, no fear here for vaccines. My hospitalization/coma experience in 2016 may have saved my life in the COVID-19 pandemic because my medical allergies to medicine were discovered back in 2016 when I was in a coma.
We have a saying in French that I will translate to English.

- I am lucky in my unluck.
