Current mood seeing COVID vaccines mentioned on the news

Covid isn't over! We're now going into an endemic! It will continue to evolve and make new variants, each more deadly than the last. I know people will say, "It will only kill the already disabled and elderly." Thanks for condemning my life and thousands of others to death because you wanted to go back to "normal life" and didn't do the bare minimum of getting vaccinated!

how many suicide attempts will it take for my parents to acknowledge mental illness umm I think i would rather die than tell them ab this uni thing when it comes to it it might . literally be the last straw

Hey y'all! Weird question time again Did this latest covid booster leave you a little bit short of breath or trigger your asthma at all? Because ever since I got it my asthma's been acting up, but I also have endocrine issues and probably MCAS and I can't tell if this is a "this booster specifically" issue (because I got a Pfizer booster instead of Moderna this time) or if this is just a "my immune system hates me and everything" issue where activating my immune system throws everything out of whack

Gonna face the scary needles in my skin later 💀

i love vaccines they're great but i got mine yesterday and goud lird...

cant sleep, everything hurts but the pain is cold somehow, im a side sleeper and i got hsots in both arms, literally crying from the pain of being awake and like. daring to breathe. and its 2 in the morning.

So I probably developed IBS from the last time I got Covid. Never mind that I have gotten 5 shots. Never mind that I always wear a mask and only go out when I must.

Anyway, I haven’t been eating much to avoid going to the bathroom ‘cuz every-time I do I have to go. I finally got to see the gastroenterologist and the pills they gave me seemed to be working. I got over confident and ate a normal amount. Breakfast, snack, lunch. Every two hours. Portions too. Almost didn’t make it to the bathroom. The meds are supposed to make it so I don’t go so much?!!!

Anyways, again. Please stay safe because although it’s a 98.2% recovery rate, it’s gonna mess one organ up or another. I got gut. Someone might get lungs or brain or maybe even constant fatigue. Hear about hair loss and mind fog too.

In the US post Covid symptoms could be considered a disability recognized by the ADA. So also be aware of your rights.

A’ight, so, as a self-proclaimed expert on the field of epidemiology for infectious and tropical diseases (since I don’t have a title that validates me just yet, it’s a work in progress lmao), this is the skinny of what’s happening with Rabies, take it with a grain of salt since I’m still compiling information and shitposting to organize my thoughts via shouting to the abyss:

1. 4 cases of supposed rabies (confirmatory laboratory pending, it’s new years, and of course the bureaucrats are having a field day). 3 in Oaxaca, southern Mexico; 1 in Nayarit, western mexico. The Nayarit and 1 of the Oaxacan cases are in grave state, 1 death, and the last one without showing any symptoms whatsoever because she’s just built different (actually, just got bit in the hand instead of the head, which is important because! This virus travels through neurons! And it only shows symptoms when it reaches the brain! As if that zombie shit wasn’t scary enough already).

2. The culprit for the Oaxacan cases was a bat that broke into a home. Unknown origin. Vampire bats (AKA Round Motherfucker Supreme) apparently tend to live further up north. However. It also fucking migrates and crashes into other bat colonies like that one uncomfortable cousin. So we still know absolutely jackshit about that.

3. The cases were in this one village, Palo de Lima, located quite literally in the middle of nowhere (or as in this case, Southern Sierra Madre), and that I looked up via geographical and topographical analysis. I found out that they’re so far into the mountains, their roads are made of dirt, and it takes between 4 and 5 hours for any kind of transportation to reach the closest settlement with a working hospital.

4. Bruh.

5. The Nayarit case was a totally unrelated case that occurred a few days before because this one lady let her cat out, bit her, and then died 3 days later. And now her health’s deteriorating, and they sent some samples to the center of the country so that they can identify the presence of Lyssavirus.

6. BRUH.

Should we worry about an outbreak? Probably not, although if the case is confirmed to the wildlife, nothing much can be done about it without altering the ecosystems surrounding them. However, this shit does absolutely show that hey, maybe our government needs to invest more in civil engineering to reach these far-off places faster.

TL;DR: Can we please get a less eventful year? kthxbai

Telling all of you right now, anti-vax people are like a cult. I went to a Walgreens where an employee proceeded to bring up my vaccine card and ask why I carried it on me. She was hostile and weird, and proceeded to say it was “sad” I was vaccinated. I was there for snacks and this woman felt the need to go out of her way to harass me for being vaccinated just to try and make some weird anti-vax point to me. She has been rude to me on multiple occasions, and I have done nothing to her. I’ve genuinely considered not carrying my card on me anymore because that environment immediately made me feel unsafe. Please be careful and don’t let people see your vaccine card or any information. I didn’t even think about it but someone could potentially dox you online as a hate crime or make you a target in the future. Be careful.

Love that Jamie just went "the travel restrictions entering our country are the same going into yours" when talking about what Realmuto said. He really said "fuck you bitch your logic is flawed"

Yoo guess who got tested positive for Covid today?? 

Saw this ad today and i cant explain how happy i was to see someone acknowledge disability in their "remember to get vaccinated!" advert. People who can't get vaccines always face so much ableism because we get grouped with anti-vaxxers (ex: being accused of faking it, being told your disability doesn't exist, being told to do it anyways and if you end up in the hospital it's for the greater good, etc) and idk it's just so refreshing. I usually never praise advertisers but as an immune compromised person this made me genuinely so happy

so the prevnar vaccine absolutely kicked my ass for about 36 hours. I had a sore throat, stuffy nose, headaches, body aches, shaking, chills, sweating, brain zaps (those might be from the covid booster I got at the same time), a fever, shortness of breath, and most concerningly, my tachycardia got 10x worse. I don't think I've ever felt more genuinely close to death. I went to an urgent care because I was convinced I was dying because of how short of breath I was. They thought I might have a pulmonary embolism because my heart rate was so high and I kept taking big gasping breaths, but I took a CBD when I got home and it turns out it was like 90% anxiety because I felt so awful. 0/10 experience. Managed to fight through it to see my best friend today before I leave for college though so that's cool. I'm coming out of the other side of it now and feel much better but very ready to sleep. Hopefully it's not actually a pulmonary embolism because if it is my next post will be from the hospital tomorrow XD I really doubt it though because I felt so much better after the CBD.

Love realizing I had COVID after I had COVID 😭

the way people co-opt political language to reinforce harmful gender roles is just soo gross and DUMB. how are you going to use something used when discussing abortion to defend a woman who promotes eating disorders. People talk in circles so much that we've come to the point where someone has decided activism is letting women have (and encouraging others to have) an eating disorder.
