I don’t have time to get into a long debate here over whether or not the flu or COVID shot is going to make your hair fall out or your balls fall off (they won’t). I’m just here to remind you that the temperature is dropping (in the US), and it’s time to get vaccinated, if you get vaccinated. If you don’t, you don’t, though every year I worry that a few of the unvaccinated people I know are going to not be around for summer due to the flu or COVID.
Honestly, folks, my late father was Chief Issues Advisor for Health and Human Services under Heckler (the Reagan Administration), he worked with Fauci during the AIDS crisis, and all I can say is that it would continually just baffle him why people would not get vaccinated. So, just…I’ll do my best…go get the vaccines. I just got mine. If you’re over 65 or so, you might also want to ask about the RSV vaccine. We also really do need herd immunity (over 80% of the population immunized), so if you’re not vaccinated, at least maybe consider the topic for a bit this year?
Remember, the vaccines take fourteen days (two weeks) to reach full strength, so get them now. You need to get vaccinated before the temperature drops; that’s when the viruses thrive, and, as I just mentioned, you need two weeks for the vaccine to reach full strength, so right about now is not a bad time, at least in my neck of the woods (New England).
