They minimized the damage before vaccines were readily available.

Now that they are, the Trumpsters want to kill themselves in the name of…. freedom? Or something.

Oh well. Life will go on somehow for those of us with brains.

Did you get the booster already? Did you stay with the same brand or get two kinds?

Spoke with my Dr. this week and she suggested doing Moderna to boost the Pfizer I had.

My wife is immune compromised and they boosted her Pfizer shots with Moderna. When I got my booster when I asked about it they said I was good with Pfizer because I was healthy (other than that old age shit).

Boosted in Nov. All three shots were Pfizer for me.

Did you get any noticeable sickness with any or all of the vaccine shots, or your wife if I may ask?

I got a little sick with my second Pfizer, one of my docs says it was a good sign, that my body was recognizing it as an enemy?

Here in Blighty, Wife who is immune compromised, and myself, had two doses of Astra Zeneca boosted by Pfizer. Mild side effect of a bit of general malaise for the AZ, and fatigue from the pfizer.
Seems to be boost with something different is just a hunch. We don't use any one shot vaccines here. Wife has been told that she can expect to require booster every 6 months.
