    I have an antivax coworker who also hates illegal immigrants … because they’re unvaccinated. Yes of course she voted for drumpf.

    I had my first shingles vaccine a little bit ago, will get my second shot next month. I am pretty tough and get vaccinated whenever I can or should, and never feel much other than a bit tired, but the shingles vaccine kicked my ass for about a week. But I’ll still get the second shot next month because nothing is more painful than shingles, I’m told, and you can get them in your EYES.

    Found out I also qualify for the RSV vaccine so I’ll go get that this weekend as well as my 10th COVID shot, and a little later in the summer the pneumococcal vaccine, and I got a measles titer yesterday to see if I need that updated too. Y’all delulu antivaxxers aren’t going to kill me.

      I got shingles in my eye, forehead, and scalp.

      It. Was. Agony.

      Luckily I didn’t lose vision in the eye, but it did swell shut for a day or so. Overall the pain lasted about 10 days and the red itchy blisters about a month.

      I advise everyone to get the vaccine.

        It is ABSOLUTE agony. Painful on the degree that birth is. My friend says her dad has broken a million bones and had cancer, and still says shingles is the worst pain he’s felt.

    This screencap is old, right? The UI looks different, and there are no checkmarks or engagement metrics.

    Hence the context is very different, as this is back when being antivaxx was unfashionable (and not a political signal like it is today).
