Third shot tomorrow. J&J, Pfizer, and now Moderna.
Was sick the first time and no reaction except a sore arm the second. Will see what this one does.

Three different mixed together? ****ing idiot.
While cross-boostering has been tested, I'm not sure whether it's been authorized. But the tip-off that this
is fictional virtue signalling is the claim receiving one of each of the three vaccines.
IF cross-boostering has been authorized, it hasn't been for very long, and receiving the first dose of one and then the second dose of another would not have been allowed back when this virtue-signalling DUmmie would have received their initial doses.
For the sake, mainly, of any DU onlurkers, I started following news about Covid, treatments, and vaccines in late January of 20
20, when my family became directly affected (the China travel ban Dems and DUpipo denounced as racist) and at the same realized the Dems would politicize Covid.
I had Covid in January 2021. I would gladly have been vaccinated in November or December 2020, but Anti-Trump-partisans in the FDA moved the goalposts on Pfizer and Moderna so they could NOT submit for Emergency Use Authorization just before the 2020 election. And then, in December 2020, when the two companies' vaccines were finally authorized,
Goobernor Newsom, in his infinite unwisdom, decided that at 60-something I wasn't old enough to be vaccinated.
I spent nearly two weeks in a hospital because of FDA partisans and Goobernor Newsom's infinite idiocy.I have been vaccinated, after the 90-day post-recovery delay advised by my doctor. I have never been an anti-Covid-vaxxer. I have not, however, received a booster. Six months after my second dose of Pfizer, during the heart of the
"Thou shalt be boostered" fad, I got tested for Covid antibodies (the test didn't distinguish between antibodies from recovery or vaccine). My level was higher than the test could measure. Since neither antibodies from recovery nor from vaccine give absolute immunity from Covid and my level was off the chart, I forewent being boostered. Come a year or so post-vax, I'll get tested again and make a decision based on the results and the context of the time (BTW, both vaccines and recovery "teach" people's immune systems to recognize and produce antibodies against Covid, so low-antibodies does not equal low resistance).
