The Flu vaccine, to be specific. First week of March I figured I'd get that on the theory that hospitals would be the last place in 2020 I'd want to be laid up in during a pandemic.

Hindsight me looked at the first 60 days of a paralyzed world and realized... if the flu had nowhere to go, it wasn't going to be transmitting much anyways.

Indeed, we saw several strains of influenza die out over the course of 2020-2021. If the riots never happened, we might have eradicated the flu. What a world that might have been.

On the flip side, that was the last vaccine I've had. And this year I'm thankful that I posted about getting the covid vaccine on here or patriots, I forget which, and was rapidly talked out of that, not realizing up to then that the vaccine was exempted from coverage under the VICP and ALSO I wouldn't be able to sue the vax company for damages.

Anyhow. New year, so with the adversity I currently face, I remind myself to be thankful I'm in better health than I might otherwise be had I done something really dumb y'all talked me out of.

Thanks.
