Check this out for you guys in America, Here in Canada numbers are going up, getting real bad, I don't want to end up going to the hospital fighting for my life, some hospitals in Toronto already above capacity.

Some waiting up to twelve hours to see a Doctor at emergency, you could be dead in that time, Rsv is bad here with the kids one child died last week , showed children in the hospital incubated fighting for their young lives sad very sad to see.

They are saying here this is going to hit us mature people soon , if it hasn't started already, its ugly out there and going to get worse. Protect you and your family the best you can..

We made the choice to do the Covid shots and boosters when available. This year when I went in last week for the latest booster, got the seasonal flu shot as well. Other than the cattle call swine flu shot back a decade or so…. This would be my first flu shot ever. Before now just never felt it was necessary…. This year just felt it was time.
 
Our waiting times are the same now. The US likes to slip actual practice by its silver lined exterior theory myths. My mom was told it would be 12 hours before she was seen. She's 81.

As far as the flu, yea vax up I'd say. I can't do this personally because last time I did I got the flu real bad. I don't even remember having it before that personally unless I was a little kid. That and strep throat. ☹️
 
Just took the booster for corona today. It usually knocks me down for a day. Looks like the wife will have to do everything tomorrow while I watch TV feeling under the weather.

The most recent was the third booster plus a flu shot. Each time I’ve had a tender shoulder. Lasts maybe a day…. Day 1/2. The only time I felt crappy was after the 2nd immunization way back early 2021. That one kicked my butt. What I don’t know… I went in with a borderline migraine. Before the day was over it was a full blown classic migraine. Took a couple days to really feel normal. Whatever the heck that is for an old guy. Now. Was it the headache? The shot? Or combination? Other than that one time, I’ve had zero side effects.
 
Had my very first flu shot yesterday, had a slight sore arm for 8hours with slight body aches in both arms for 1 hour. Today feel great. My 4th corona shot felt tired for a couple of days, then felt great.

Due for 1st Bivalent shot in early next year.

Every single shot I took so far put me down for a day to a day and a half. The only thing I havent felt is the soreness at the injection sight, otherwise I yahtzee all the other sideeffects. Chills, aches, headache, etc...
So far its 8:30pm and nothing ... if I dont feel anything by 11, I think I'm going to fake it so my wife can fuss over me.
 
Everyone acts a little different to vaccines. My Wife had the flu shot her arm was quite sore for three days. I had the shot yesterday afternoon a bit of a sore arm was completely gone by 10 AM this morning..
 
Statistics:
If you did not get vaccinated,
You are 20X more likely to die from (CENSORED).

I choose to live right now...

But there is a slight problem with vaccinations, I admit.
The more people who are vaccinated = more mutations of the (CENSORED) will be created.
Vaccinations constantly cause mutations (variants) to be created, sorry.

And so it is a race.
Can humans create new vaccinations fast enough to keep up with the mutations?

Inevitably,
A mutation will arise, that is completely resistant to any known vaccine or treatment.
It's not really a matter of "if," but a matter of "when."
And that is mother nature, doing her thing.

Most likely not going to get full “herd immunity” on this one. Possible we never were going to. Smart people are suggesting we’ll be moving from pandemic to endemic like the seasonal flu. Which of course means. More shots. My guess is….. and maybe pharma is already doing it….. we go in for the seasonal flu shot and we get a cocktail with this “current pain” shot. Film at 11.
 
Update.
No soreness at the injection sight.
But here are the side effects I’m experiencing.

Headache.
Teeth chattering chills.
Fatigue.
Muscle and joint aches and pains.
And lastly, and this is a new one.
My skin hurts. Skin sensitivity is a new one on me.
