I did not get the shots and do not regret it

More likely death than long-term side effects = Short term perils.

Don’t be mad OP. Wear a helmet. You probably need that more than a vaccine.

[Ooloo]

If I get cancer in ten years from the vax I will rest easy knowing that at least I got a slightly less bad version of an already not very bad disease, maybe!

I got injected today...

....with IV contrast for a CT Scan.

That's hard on your kidneys. Don't believe big pharma's lies. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Hope you're doing ok.

Shit. So that's why they were asking so many questions about my kidneys..

I probably could have done without the scan in all honesty.

Just a car wreck where I damaged my abdominal muscles so much that my intestines may be falling out.

But apparently it heals up and is not life threatening (if you get it checked out).

I'm not trying to scare you off from contrast dye. The point I'm trying to drive at is sometimes we need to risk our health in non-zero chance ways to be overall healthier. There shouldn't be major complications from CT contrast dye unless you have specific contraindications, but some people are allergic to it and it is hard for the kidneys to process (so you need healthy kidneys). I spoke to a woman recently who is allergic to that dye and she needs to be put on antihistamines and monitored for a few days anytime she gets a CT. Like for her, it's straight up dangerous, but the risk of not having the CT is worse. Good luck with your recovery. Try to trust your care team.

I totally got what you were pointing at.

I just disagree with where the threat is.

Big Pharma is slowly killing us all. I wish there was a vaccine to cure Big Pharma for our lives.

Got an email from the boss today. Check the expiry dates on all your COVID vaccines.

So I do. There's a website for either Moderna or Pfizer, you pop in the lot #s and it checks expiration.

Several pfizer shots are now good another 6 months. That's neat.

Gave 4 doses of Moderna Bivalent booster today. Four more future blue votes.

Feels good man.

I'm very happy that you're happy that other people think for you.

If other people didn't think for me, I'd probably not have any thoughts at all. At least I don't think I would. I'm scared to try.
