I’ve never had a flu shot. It’s been 9 years since I’ve had the flu. Everyone I know who gets the flu shot annually gets the flu. I’ve never understood it. The same people who thought I was whacked for telling them they were getting the flu because they got the shot really think I’m ‘round the bend now as I won’t vax up, won’t mask up, haven’t gotten the Rona, cured my wife and several friends with Ivermectin (cattle and swine version), they are getting multiple boosters and are always kinda sick. I’m fine being crazy.
Whenever someone offers me hand sanitizer, I say I don’t do the sanitizing thing, haven’t washed my hands for two years, touch my face constantly, so my immune system is kicking 🤣
Happy New Year!
Publix employee: “sir, I haven’t sanitized that cart yet, here, use this one”. Me: “No thanks, I like ‘em dirty”
I wash my hands 20-30 times each day.
It is one of the first things that you are taught in Microbiology Class. It is absolutely imperative. It does not hurt to do it at all.
The 2nd thing taught in my Courses was all about Barometric Pressure. Now that was dull. I gave up on Flying School because of that crap. But Health Care Workers also have to understand it and they need to know about relative humidity and sea levels.
Barometric Pressure is significant when attempting to measure the pressures of Oxygen in the bloodstream. There is a formula that Practioners must know. It is not difficult, but it is essential.
Years ago there was a study done regarding mechanical ventilation at different levels. In Israel, they studied the impact of pressures in Jerusalem, 2500 feet above sea level, and also in the Dead Sea area, the lowest elevation on this planet. They actually took ventilated Patients from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, and evaluated the pressures.
Interesting stuff.
I’m fine being crazy.

Happy new year, GH! I hear ya, “crazy is good” when those who call themselves sane are behaving so ridiculously!
Don’t fear the Rona; if you get it and are healthy, the highly contagious version going around south FL right now is a big nothing-burger. For me, basically a headache and crashing fatigue. Got it Wednesday, and was completely over it by Thursday afternoon. No Ivermectin, or any other drugs. DH has it now, and it’s pretty mild for him too, though he has a cough (which might just be his seasonal allergies) and low-grade fever. I’m almost certain that both I and the friend of ours who got it within 12 hours of each other got exposed at the Christmas Eve church service, most likely by someone vaxxed who thought they had a cold, because they couldn’t possibly have the Coof (in their minds). My only regret is having to miss the first service of the year tomorrow while I feel fine!
We’ve never had flu shots either, and the people we know who get them are far more likely to get flu than those who don’t, as well. Yet they somehow think it prevents their flus from being even worse cases. Hmmm.... same as the coof vaxxers. I’ve never had flu, at least anything like what I’ve read about - the high fever and all the aching misery. Nope.
I wished a Happy New Year to Darcie and her BF last night when I was out taking a walk. They were in their truck - I don’t think she recognized me in the shadows, but they returned the greeting. We haven’t spoken since that initial conversation about the iguanas, before I learned of her internet celebrity status. ;-)
