That's all the helicopter mommies who are worried about their little
snowflakes getting sick have lots more problems. Throw them in the
contagion pot, let them get sick and build up some immunities, and life
will be better later on.

All those little germ factories pretty much guarantee you’ll get it or
something like it if you’re around them for any length of time. Seemed like
cheap insurance, and it was.
I would also say that working in an elementary school pretty much guarantees
you’ll be sick the first year, then after that your immune system becomes near
bulletproof due to the constant exposure to all sorts of nasty stuff
perpetrated by the ankle biters. it’s funny, as you would see first year
teachers dropping like flies during flue season, while the legacy folks just
taking it all in stride.
Once you earned your stripes, so to speak, you were in pretty good shape. The
family would be wiped out sometimes during flu season and I wouldn’t even have
the sniffles.

I have personally not gotten the flu in many decades despite never having
been vaccinated. I decided about 6 years ago to stop pressing my luck, and
accepted a free vaccination at work and every year since.

You read the little book that comes with any drug, and among 'side
effects seen in at least 2% of test subjects' there's always nausea.
Then you look at the placebo group, and they had nausea too, sometimes
at a higher rate than the treatment group.
But if the SARS-2 vax recipients feel like flu shot recipients, I
shouldn't be surprised.
Speaking of which, is there any reason to get a flu shot this year?
It seems like social distancing has all but destroyed the common flu.

Anyway she said she felt achy for a day or two but I wonder if some of
it might not be psychosomatic, they tell you you might feel achy and
then you feel achy. Heck I feel achy and tired at the end of most days
anyway...
