I took the shots for the team. I live in Bush Alaska; we had many deaths from the 1918 pandemic, had many children die during a measles outbreak in the 1940s, and our village was one of the first places to get the vaccine, so a lot of us got it. My first shot was early January 2020, the second in early February 2020.

My right leg swelled up. It looked like I had been hit a couple of times with a stick leaving black and blue marks. The bruises went away in two weeks. My energy level decreased to the point where I was suddenly taking naps in the daytime. I still don’t feel at the same level of endurance I had before the shots. The site of the injection in my arm hurt until July.

I’ve known several people who died from Covid. One guy I work with (who had a list of comorbidities) died from sudden heart failure a few weeks after taking the shots.

My guess is that history will see our reaction to Covid as kind of a mass hysteria based on sudden visceral fear, human fallibility, and instant communication. I had a bad reaction to the shot, not as bad as some, but in a normal situation the vaccine or therapeutic or whatever it is would have taken years of trials, study, and thought before releasing it on the public, like those epagogic side effects at the end of the pharma commercials. Up here we were reacting to recent history with epidemic disease when we took the shots, but I think that there’s also a primal terror about disease that continues to cause people to do stupid shit responding to the situation.

I have a very good friend of mine who was in Vietnam flying a helicopter, and now he’s in his mid-70s suffering greatly from the impact of exposure to Agent Orange, near death. People have a terrible track record doing stuff and not understanding long-term consequences. Here we are.

I had an 82 year old uncle and a 63 work friend who both died of covid. I know of numerous other people who have had covid. I had pneumonia late in 2019 and my doctor thought with the pneumonia and my age of 69 that I should get the “vaccine”. I have zero other co-moribidities. In March 2021 I selected and received the J & J “shot”. I had no reactions to the shot. Why did I select J & J ? My independent research told me that the mRna therapy (Pfizer & Moderna) seemed questionable and the J & J was a more traditional delivery and immune response therapy as it actually has a “thread” of the virus in the “shot” much like other “vaccines” we all take. I also came to understand, remember this is 1 year into the pandemic, that the “shot” will not prevent getting covid but if you do get covid you will stay out of the hospital and covid will not kill you. In September 2021 I got covid. I had 30 hours of light flu symptoms... low grade fever, headache, a very very slight cough and joint stiffness. After the 30 hours I was “fine”. In my mind the “shot” did exactly what it was supposed to do. My doctor wants me to get the booster in January 2022. He recommends the mRna therapies. I will wait at least until March 2022, as that will be 1 year since my first “shot”. I will never take the mRna (Pfizer & Moderna) therapy for covid as they are too new and were rushed to the market without adequate testing. I will stick with the traditonal J & J booster shot. I know a few people who got covid after they received their “shot” & none required hospitalization. I do not know anyone who has had covid twice... “shot” or no “shot”.
