Wait, really? Letterer = mail carrier to some people? I'm so confused.

Anyway, if you haven’t gotten this year’s flu or Covid vax yet now is a great time to do it. You’ll be at peak immunity for the December/January surge.

That sounds AMAZING!

And if it's not John Roberts' fault, Ronald Reagan is to blame.

Oh no! I sympathize so much! My only root canal was in 2015 and it was an expensive debacle. And they've only gotten more expensive in the meantime. 😬

I have to replace my tires, preferably before heavy snow, but also have to get a tooth extracted before the end of the year and I'm livid about how much both of these things cost. Ugh!

Gah! You are the cutest! I love your reaction vid - it's like when we talked comics after sewing lessons last spring. Your enthusiasm is infectious!

This is so true! I'm more prone to food-borne pathogens than a non-immunocompromised person & will react faster, but it's still hard to pinpoint. (For me: raw greens or surprise raw egg e.g. in mayonnaise.)

I also think it may be mentally easier to try and connect getting sick to something you know happened (vaccine) vs. an infection you may not be testing for. I've had rare medicine side effects so am no way saying complications don't happen with vax.

I do acknowledge that in very rare instances vaccine complications can happen but it's much more rare than infection-triggered chronic illness.

Might be controversial but I feel like some researchers on this topic aren't saying this is a possibility enough. Covid is...everywhere and it makes sense that the infections are triggering chronic illness.
