Two months ago, I literally had to cradle A in my arms to keep her still to get her flu shot. Last night she couldn’t get the needle into her arm fast enough for Covid #2. -- (edited) - znufrii, boosted Dec 8, 06:31 3

New Israeli study suggests best protection against Covid is to first get Covid and then get a booster later. I do not recommend this course of action. - Baron Please Come Home Dec 8, 06:14 8
- Oh yeah! -- nm - spamlet Dec 8, 06:42
- It's one of those things where they're asking the wrong question. "How do I develop the most antibodies" is not the useful measure. - Reagen Dec 8, 06:41
- oh good good. the antivaxxers on radio will jump right on this. -- nm - Jovian Dec 8, 06:34

        I think that some of the players that people think are *good* are just loud. great to watch, bad at game. - amanda jeans Dec 8, 05:40 6
        
        when I say players, I just meant trying not that they were necessarily good players :) So many tend to overthink stuff or "have to make a move-itis" - Beaker Dec 8, 05:51 5

5am thoughts: "Rip the band-aid off" is really kind of bad advice and poorly constructed. - Max Dec 8, 02:00 8

  - Yeah—this ⬆️—I think most bandage pain is caused by hair damage. I usually remove in a shower. -- nm - flavorize Dec 8, 04:24
