This thread reminds me of the hanging scene in an old movie... I don't recall the name of the flick. One of the men waiting to be hung was making a speech on the evils of drinking. I recall him saying something along the lines of, "Taking the devil into your mouth..."

Got my first one back in 2017.
Thought I was done with that one but my doc recently told me they have a new & improved one that I need to take in two parts within 6 months of each other.
So just last Thursday, I had the first of two new & improved vaccine and it had lingering soreness around the injection site for approx. 4 days just as she warned me it would.
I'm not an anti vaccine type, I'm 63 and I trust my doc.
Also already had the 2 pneumonia vaccines.
I get the flu shot every year as well for the last 20 some odd years and no issues.
None of those injections has made my testicles shrink up or made me turn into a flaming anti gun liberal or any other adverse side effects.
Not sure why so many folks are anti science / modern medicine.
To each his own.
