The bad news is that even after you’ve been double vaxed there are places that will still test to see if you have the virus in you. (You can carry the virus even if you don’t ‘catch’ it.) I thought the swab hurt worse than the case of covid I had, but it was over in a few seconds while the d**n virus left me without a sense of smell or taste for over a month.
It’s hard to believe the number of people paying hundreds of dollars for fake vaccination cards just so they can avoid protecting themselves and their community. And to think they could get one for free with a simple injection.
That’s not the only kind of test, of course. I get tested for Covid weekly at work and all I have to do is fill a small tube with spit — no swabs up the nose necessary.
Exactly right, but the vax or die crowd won’t listen. I have an agreement with my doctor that if I ever test positive for Wuhan I’m going to have joint pain and be rather lethargic -causing him to suspect lupus… and I’m going to have a gestational thing that is just gnawing at my guts… By the way, using the ivermectin paste that I’ve used on my horses – unless you are that Hawaiian guy who used to sing the over the rainbow song .. there is a dosage issue with the concentration in the paste prescribed for farm animals because you don’t weigh 1,200 lbs.
Even though it was written clearly on the family calendar that I was getting my second shot on a particular day, my dad made plans for that same day to do several tasks involving manual labor, tasks that he needed me to help with to actually finish.
My blood pressure is naturally high to begin with, the Covid shot spiked that further, and after a day of “shoveling gravel” and “moving 400+ pounds of metal” I was barely functional.
I likely should have gone to the hospital at that point, but there was no chance of my getting anyone to actually drive me and thanks to Obamacare I’m too broke to afford an ambulance.
That week was a living nightmare as I tried to recover from hitting such a brick wall.
I’m not even going to consider a booster unless everyone agrees to give me an entire week off.

Or as I like to say, “inserted until it hits the back of your skull”. So I haven’t had one and don’t plan to!

Big deal. My uncle does that to his nose with his pinkie all the time.

Get vaccinated all! Only takes a few minutes and is much more effective than horse de-wormer.

Have you ever jumped into a pool feet first and have chlorinate water forced up into your sinuses? That exactly what the nasal test feels like.
gantech about 3 years ago
I’ve had the nasal test a couple of times. It’s everything it’s cracked up to be.

Good. His Plan B was to tell them he needed a spleen sample. (For those who still have one.)

Unfortunately, the anti-vaxxers who claim they have a right not to get vaccinated can also claim that they have a right not to be tested, either.
Too bad that “stupid” is irreparable.

The more Rickard is pushing this vaxx in the comics, the more Dr. Mel is looking like a bald version of Fauci. Now I’m concerned for my spleen

Last year I had to get tested prior to a medical procedure. They swabbed only one side & it only took about 5 seconds.
But no it didn’t feel pleasant!

No thank you. I have an immune system and since this all started I have been doing fine.

here in japan it takes way more than “a few minutes” to get vaccinated, but, yes, please do take the time to do so if you haven’t already…

Nothing like knowing the Details of a procedure to make you not want to be “Procedured”.
