Finally got the recent one a month ago. Only side effect I get is minor tightness in deltoid. I got the rona before the first dose. I knew something was up when I lost my sense of smell which is back but not as strong as before. Better than taste as someone who loves food. I got really sick for 3 weeks recently and that's no fun.
I’ve just become so broken up over how everything, and I mean everything, has gone down. So much to say but no words to elucidate… Mentally, I wouldn’t have made it without The Last Drive-In and the Mutant Fam these last few years. Thank you, Joe Bob, Darcy, and everyone else. 🖤
Covid became political when a weak minded president was angry that it didn't bend to his political will. Get vax'd for Covid and the flu, this year and every year.
Well stated. Thank you.
Is that one of the Tom Savini Jason masks? (cool either way 🤘)

Here’s hoping our adventure ends somewhere else!

Holy hell, we’ve learned the same things! What a coincidence. 🙃

I think part of the problem is that we live in an era where answers must be quick and definitive. But good science takes time. It requires study, experimentation, and a willingness to accept new information when it conflicts with a prior hypothesis. But people don't like ambiguity and they hate when statements change as more information arises. Then there are people with vested interests who take advantage of the lack of knowledge to press their political goals. Our society has become skeptical of experts to the point that "truth" is determined by how confident one's answer is. If that answer runs counter to experts it is considered even more legitimate. Science is a process and you can only do it so quickly.

I learned Harvey Danger was right about stupid people breeding. Could be worse. I could be an amputee, goddamn it.
We live in a post-truth world where truth is just a choose your own adventure book.
