I Think I’m Gonna Get The Covid Jab - Part One TLDR: Frustrated with his body’s near constant respiratory infections, the old guy decides to get the jab, despite knowing that it is more likely to cause him harm than good. Part one. The TLDR above sums up more than what y’all really want or need to know about this. The rest of this post is just me whining about how “unfair” my life has been, so read it at your own hazard. I have decided to go ahead and get the stupid Covid jab. Yes, it will make living here in the Philippines much easier, thanks to the morons in power who keep restricting access to all sorts of things, (restaurants, malls, even OUTDOOR parks!), to those who have a “vaccination card”. But that’s not why I’m getting the psuedo-vaccination. I’m doing it because I’m tired of my body’s remarkable inability to fight off any type of respiratory infection. Ever since I was a kid I’ve tended to get respiratory infections on a regular basis. I remember going to events and concerts with a cough and runny nose quite frequently. I could expect to get ill at least once a year. In most cases this illness would only last a week or so, with me being bedridden for about a day, but when I was in high school I caught the swine flu, and that stuff nearly killed me. I might be exaggerating, but I seem to remember being bedridden for about three weeks. Fortunately I haven’t gotten that sick again, but as I’ve gotten older, the frequency of these infections has increased to about once every 6 to 8 months. It really is frustrating to be ill so often! Of course through the years I’ve gone to doctor after doctor searching for someone who could “cure” me. But other than giving me amoxicillin and telling me to drink plenty of fluids, there wasn’t much they could do for me. Despite having all the symptoms of a severe autoimmune problem, I tested negative for all the common allergies. One Doc did a scan of my head under some sort of machine, and informed me that I have mold growing all through my sinuses. He proposed “scraping” all this mold out. I talked to a few folks who had this procedure done. While it isn’t nearly as bad as it sounds, it is not a permanent solution. The mold will grow back. My frequent colds were a major reason I decided to retire early. It’s not a lot of fun going into an enclosed office building coughing and sneezing, and my coworkers liked it even less than I did. This brings us to the current day. A bunch of arrogant scientists tried to play God and screwed up, letting loose another virus upon the world. Oh, but of course they claim to have the “cure”, which unfortunately is anything but that. And power hungry assholes the world over have seized upon this opportunity to grab even more power in their attempts to “protect” us from this new threat. And just a few days ago, I got yet another damn respiratory infection. I last got sick in late August, and was ill for most of the month of September. This latest crud doesn’t seem as nasty as what I had back then, but still, it’s only been three friggin’ months since I got over it. And now my stupid body is playing host to another group of nasties? To say I’m tired of this shit is an understatement. I’m not ready to take a dirt nap yet, but I’m getting closer. Which brings me to the stupid psuedo-vaccine. It’s often said that what causes us the most trouble isn’t what we don’t know, but what we think we know, but we don’t. The arrogance behind this forced mass vaccination program is mind blowing. We don’t really know what the long term effects of it will be.
