In 2021 I had 2 J & J shots. My partner had received a total of 3 Moderna shots by the time we went for Dec. 2022 vaccines. He took another Covid, and I took flu.
A week later he brought home an illess from his sick grandson that kept us both sick and coughing hard for over 3 months. When I discovered that J&J also targets the spike protein of Covid as do the mRNA vaccines, I thought perhaps we both had experienced the IgG class switch of the IgG4 units. Since he had 4 covid shots and I only had 2, I was puzzled we were both equally ill and for as long. Now I am wondering if Kaiser Permanente gave me a third Covid without my permission?
I think we probably got RSV from his grandson, again this fall but were only sick for a month. I probably will not get the RSV vaccine. My partner recently had
another Covid for the latest variant. He is urging me to get it too, and I absolutely refuse. Now he has government supplied Covid test kits, and we tested before going to his family for Christmas Dinner. From now on if I test again I will put my own Q tip up my nose and then rub the mucus on the test swabs. Never again will I trust my government no matter which party is in charge.
There is some kind of cold going around that lasts over a month.
I tested for Covid and it was negative. My son had the same cold and the dr tested him for Covid, RSV, and the flu and they all came back negative. IIRC he got tested for Covid a couple times, too. All negative.
