PSA: This vaccine has a list of known side effects that they've talked about for some time. Not surprisingly, they're basically what would happen to you if you had a high dose of SARS-CoV-2 injected directly into you, minus the severe respiratory symptoms and high fevers.
The upside is, it's less severe than an actual COVID infection would be, plus you get long-term immunity and you don't have to worry about being contagious (no quarantine requirements and such).
A lot of people don't know this, but many vaccines do have the same symptoms close to the illness itself, because a lot of the "symptoms" we blame on a virus are actually because of our immune system violently reacting to the threat and sapping all of our energy.
This Wikipedia page has a lot of information about different types of vaccines and how each of them work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine#Types
Pretty much all of them sound to me like they'd get a pretty violent immune system reaction.
No, because I was already isolating and I intentionally re-dosed myself via contaminated water bottles to make sure I would reach full immunity during the isolation. I knew I would beat it easily, and I did. Now I'm immune. No more worrying about infecting old people or isolating unexpectedly.
Yep, it's pretty random. I will say this, though: The person that spread it to me took NO vitamin D ever, and they had it worse than I did.
It should come back soon, eventually... I hear of people that took months to return to 100%.
Wearing a mask REALLY pissed me off at first, because they were very uncomfortable. Once I got a decent one, it's been easier. It's not mandatory where I live, so I assume everyone with one is afraid to catch it and I avoid them.
Distancing definitely helps, if you want to avoid spread... but I think there's a lot of people out there that would pounce on the opportunity to catch it so they could become immune. I definitely did.
Ruining small business and giving their customers to Amazon is pure evil.
Never try to rob a bored American with a gun.
