Just completed Shingrix #2. So grateful to be protected. Only reaction was headache to #2.
I urge everyone to vaccinate for #shingles.

@normsmusic I am shocked at how little I miss it. I’ve been reading more books with all my extra free time. Feels good not to doomscroll endlessly.
@normsmusic I got shingles when I was in my 30’s, it sucked! It was thankfully on my side by my hip but it HURT a LOT!
I will be getting the vaccine when it is my time for it!
I got it from extreme stress back then, my daughter was hospitalized a lot for a few years (brain shunt surgeries) and I thought it was a MRSA rash but when I went to the dr, he said nope, that’s shingles. I had thought it was an old person disease!
*ps, she is doing well now. 🙂

While it may be difficult to take action against the Supreme Court, GOP members in Texas, and other anti-abortion states, you can certainly take action against Walgreens for their stance on not providing the abortion pill in states with more liberal abortion laws, by refusing to ever shop there again.
The link between symptoms of COVID-19 and physical inactivity is increasingly evident. COVID-19 survivors with at least one persistent symptom of the disease were 57% more likely to be sedentary, and the presence of five or more post-acute sequelae of infection odds of physical inactivity by 138%.
Comorbidities were also significant: 37% were smokers, 58% had high blood pressure, 35% had diabetes and 17% were obese. "These are risk factors for severe COVID-19.

How effective is the shingles vaccine and who should get it?
Return to menu
According to the CDC, the shingles vaccine, Shingrix, is more than 90 percent effective at preventing shingles in people with healthy immune systems for at least the first seven years after vaccination. For those with weakened immune systems, the CDC says studies show the vaccine is 68 to 91 percent effective at preventing a shingles outbreak.https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/03/07/shingles-outbreak-treatment-vaccine/
Viewers! For too long, Big Paleontology and the mainstream media have lied to you, saying that the planet was hit by a meteorite that caused dinosaurs to go extinct. That’s what they want you to think. But I’ve looked at the footage and — it’s just not the case. For the overwhelming, vast majority of the time that dinosaurs were walking around on Earth, there’s not a single meteorite to be seen.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/03/08/tucker-carlson-meteorite-not-kill-dinosaurs/
Twitter was — and is — broken
The bit meets the moment because Twitter has started to feel empty every day. The site still works — well, most of the time — but much of its old magic is missing. Some users have departed, decamping for alternatives or detoxing altogether. Some are still around, but they’ve lost some of their joie de tweet. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/03/08/elon-musk-broke-twitter/

My wife wants to start a gofundme, so she can buy up all the ad space from Peyronie's ads

@WILDKATZ I went to school in Ridgewood NJ 1959 and the Local RX owner was an integral contributor to the community and a place to socialize after school.
There's one a couple of blocks from me and they sucked before this (their rewards system is Sisyphean...) and I was avoiding it anyway, but this is the last straw.
@JohnAustin I am reposting this on twitter
@LnzyHou Yea!!!
Walgreens got its last $ from me.
@Kimmycott The power of the purse. I stopped flying Pan Am and stopped shopping at Emporium and they went out of business because enough people felt the same.
Today Friedrich Nietzsche would agree. Wallgreens is dead to me. How about your state?
There are three in the bay area. In Glendale, Arizona seems like one on every block. How about your state? #AbortWallgreens
California to halt $54M Walgreens contract over company's policy on abortion drug sales
Gov. Gavin Newsom is blocking the funding after the drugstore chain said it would no longer dispense abortion drugs in some states. @Walgreens
Came here with great expetation. Reminds me of a forest of solitude, no one hears any thing but their own tree falling. I'm going to quit posting for a while.
