My “fully vaccinated’(Moderna) wife is home sick with Covid and more than “mild” symptoms. She has all the symptoms btw. I, on the other hand, unjabbed and uninfected after exposure. I credit the prophylactic protocol I’m following including Ivermectin.
I just take 5 mg of melatonin nightly—the studies are showing that 10 mg though is what apparently keeps covid away.
I may go up again. I started taking melatonin when I hit menopause a couple of years ago—it helps with sleep issues. I think it’s hormone related. Also seems to keep away other things like inflammation and arthritis and dementia so it seems there is a lot of upside. We make less of it when we age I think.
Thanks. I’ve tried 10 mg in the past but it knocked me out.
I’ll have to try it again.
What boosters would you recommend for someone who has had the J&J vaccine? A J&J booster? One additional mRNA booster? Two?
I think J&J is basically over.
Now, I admit we do not KNOW that the size of the antibody response translates into a better outcome - but that’s how to bet.
So - the responses to a single dose of mRNA (either one) following J&J is much higher than a J&J booster.
J&J was supposed to release their two shot data in March or April. But they fell in love with “one and done”. Their two shot study wound up looking really good - but six months too late, the world has moved on.
Smallpox vaccine absolutely does not protect for life you are wrong. For those who handle smallpox professionally they get boosters every year. People who have exposure also get a booster if the original dose was more than three years old. Before smallpox was eradicated to travel to a smallpox country you had to have a booster every three years and a WHO yellow card to enter them proving you had the three year or less booster. Same for yellow fever , dengue or typhoid counties all still require yellow cards.

“Before smallpox was eradicated, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that international travelers to nonendemic countries should be revaccinated every five to 10 years and travelers to endemic countries should be revaccinated every three years. Lab workers in diagnostic facilities and others more likely to be exposed to the smallpox virus were advised to be vaccinated once a year. “
A study of smallpox cases imported into nonendemic countries found that mortality was 52 percent among the unvaccinated, 11 percent among those vaccinated more than 20 years earlier and 1.4 percent of those vaccinated within 10 years. Therefore, vaccination 40 years ago most likely does not confer protection against smallpox infection,”
Knowledge is half the battle.
