I think the only time I liked listening to talk radio was when Patrice was on the
O & A show in NY ...

You could extend that to listening to the O & A show in general. God damn Opie, ruining every moment :ROFLMAO:

Patrice was a real gem. Shame he died before he could get all his thoughts down, and before the podcast scene exploded. He'd be bigger than Joe Rogan for sure.

Never heard of it. I'm UK based so out of the loop on American shows. Stumbled onto Patrice/O&A just through youtube.

Is it worth checking out?

Fear is a powerful motivator. In my case, I had two family members die from alpha (or maybe delta). I was hearing about all these deaths, and since I knew for a fact of two of them (actually 4, because my mom's friend also died, and a member of my friend's family), I got vaxxed, even though I was nervous about it. I definitely considered it a calculated risk. And if I'm being honest, my replies in these threads was partly based on trying to convince myself. I did catch covid before the vaccines were even available (like a month before or something), and a large portion of my reason for getting it anyway was a great deal of social pressure from my family and girlfriend (my family even moreso than my girlfriend... my sister and brother in law literally did not leave their house except to take short, masked walks, for the first year, and every time we did family zoom meetings all they could talk about was how horrible the people who weren't getting vaccinated were. My sister straight up cut a longtime friend out of her life over it). Now that I say it, it was really mostly social pressure for me. I was definitely planning to get it as soon as I could, but then once I got covid, I was much less sure about it... it seemed kind of pointless. And then when I got the booster, it was 100% social pressure, literally no other reason.

My family will continue to get boosters, they have stated. I'm planning to just not bring it up at all. If they ask me, I haven't decided if I will lie or not, but I'm not going to be getting them. My girlfriend seems sufficiently sketched out by getting another booster and sees that they aren't doing anything anyway so I'm pretty sure she isn't going to be pressuring me to get another. It wouldn't make me feel bad to lie to my family about it, I only see them twice a year, and my brother is pretty skeptical, it's mostly my mom and sister and her husband that are on the bandwagon. I would not want to have to lie to my girlfriend about it.

yea i was trying to figure out ways to lie and cheat around it - and then i just said screw it.....but people put you in that position and it's unfortunate that you have to go that route just to have a normal relationship with either work, friends, or family
 
I wonder how true this is? I took the J&J VAX as it was difficult finding others, and it made me feel as though I had a mild fever or cold for 2-3 days. About a year or two later, I took the Moderna MRNA VAX and felt like I had a fever for about two days.

I am hesitating getting the omichron VAX, as a registered nurse told me how the new strains are weak, and 3-6 months or a year from now another strain/VAX will be around...😒

If your COVID vaccine left you feeling terrible, it probably offered you better protection, new study suggests

Scientists said post-vaccination side effects could be reframed as "signals of vaccine effectiveness."

I would definitely pass on it. They don’t do anything, and have a ton of risk that come with them. You did your due diligence.

I like how it says "reframed" instead of saying "explained"
