When I heard my small city was having hearings on Covid, I sent them information which I doubt received useful attention. This was in 2021 and I warned about the importance of taking Vitamin D, Quercetin and Zinc for immune enhancement. I also warned about common/not rare genetic blood diseases, like Sickle Cell, and Lyden V. Based on a statistical analysis I suggested that as many as 35,000 people in our city might benefit from staying more than 15 minutes after the vax, to avoid bad symptoms while traveling home.
If you are Negro and have one gene (Sickle trait), or two gene (Sickle Cell Disease) you are probably more prone to some reaction issues. The Lyden V gene is more common in white people. A friend with Lyden V had a very strong bad reaction to his vax, which was why I thought to send this info to my city representatives. He and his wife decided to use IVF to select an embryo to implant that did not have Lyden V.
If you had a severe reaction to the vax, you might want to check to see if you have one of these or some other genetic difference that makes you more susceptible to vaccine problems. I made a point of taking my regular supplements plus 500 mg. Quercetin and 50 mg. zinc a few days before and a week after my J&J shots. I had no swelling, heating up or lasting discomfort in my arm or elsewhere with either shot.
It would make sense, I have “dark German” in me on my mother’s side. I’m the whitest white girl you’ve ever seen — but my hair dreds, I tan and my grandmother (a good german girl from Ohio) came from Baden Baden and was often mistaken for being Hatian in Ft. Lauderdale (despite having blue eyes.)
