Heads up if you have had Lyme disease... I've now had both doses of the Moderna vaccine and both times it wiped the floor with me. It triggered exactly the same symptoms as when I contracted Lyme disease in 2018. Immense lethargy, almost total cognitive shutdown and depression. I hadn't anticipated it for the first dose but I was more prepared for the second. I relied on the same battery of supplements I used for the Lyme, in particular liposomal glutathione. For me, I believe the vaccine triggered extensive inflammation, esp. in the brain. Genetically, I have certain mutant enzymes that interfere with my own production of glutathione - a critical antioxidant - leading to autoimmune chaos. Of course, your kilometerage will vary (hopefully for the better :) ) |

Lyme disease sounds horrible. We have ticks here now and it terrifies me to know that some microscopic bug can basically destroy my quality of life forever or even kill me. They say to wear pants if you go in the bush, but wearing pants in middle of summer is not exactly fun, either and it won't save you from any that might land in your hair or other exposed body parts. Apparently they did have a vaccine for that but guess they could not get it to work safely. Hopefully this is something they revisit at some point. |

I just had my first Pfizer shot yesterday. I find the science behind the mRNA vaccines facinating, but if I weren't married, I wouldn't have been vaccinated yet. I'll turn 60 this year, have no chronic medical issues, and don't FEEL at risk. I'm an engineer, logical thinker, try to educate myself on the facts, and make decisions based on facts. From the facts that I'm aware of, I'd hold off because of not knowing the long term side effects of the mRMA approach. Seems like we have enough evidence at this point to see what the short term risks are. My decision to get the vaccine at this time is weighed by the facts of my personal situation: my wife is terrified by this whole thing. Her cortisol levels have been through the roof for a year now, and that it bad for her health. I care about my wife. She lost a brother-in-law from this, and she worries about me and her kids. She has nurse friends who have left their jobs over issues with COVID. For the physical and mental health of my wife, and for my mental health, I am choosing to be vaccinated. It took me a while to be ok to do this. I've read copious amounts of material. I don't listen to the talking heads. My wife was vaccinated just 3 days before me. It was a huge thing for her just to go out and get it done. |

With the recent CDC announcement that vaccinated individuals need not wear masks in many situations, but the general opinion that it is impolite (or politically incorrect) to inquire of others about their vaccination status, I must trust the unmasked individuals who I encounter to have been vaccinated. Why does this make me uncomfortable? |
