I was just remarking on that.
Seems to me P vaccine (and I was very upset when my doctor told me I should get ANOTHER one the next time I saw him after getting the first shot!) doesn’t protect you from the covid. But it does protect you from other pneumonias getting in when you’re weakened by the covid.

I got both shots and was fine with the first one and reacted to the second, but that was me because of the immune system disorder I have that I become sensitized to stuff very easily.

It was an allergic/mast cell reaction that nobody else really needs to worry about.

But I’m glad they are under my belt.

I figured that for me, the risk of reacting to the vaccine was less than the risk of ending up in the hospital being given other drugs to fight it that I would react to also.

It was the lesser of two evils in my book.

That's kind of what I'm banking on.
