This story about the ‘Pfizer‘ CEO getting COVID twice in a month, which I read this morning, was particularly poignant since I had just got my 3rd COVID BOOSTER, which was indeed Pfizer, just yesterday.

But, I immediately caught on, even before I go to the point where he points it out, that he HAD NOT got the 3rd booster.

In his case QUAD means the initial two shots he got PLUS 2 boosters. So, I am more boosted than he is.

But, what else can we learn.

1/ He is getting diagnosed with COVID because he is being regularly tested. I am NOT. I got tested a fair amount in 2020 because I was getting cataract surgery. Outside of that I had not been tested NOR have I bothered to check myself.

So LESSON 1: IF you are regularly tested, the chances are that they will find that you have COVID.

2/ LESSON 2: The vaccine nor the boosters can stop you from getting COVID.

I trust that we all knew that.

3/ LESSON 3: The vaccine PLUS boosters can mitigate the COVID symptoms to the point that you don’t even know you have it — unless you are TESTED.

I think this lesson is key.

That should be a real takeaway. The vaccine & boosters can make it mild to the point you don’t even know you have it. That is GOOD.

Well, it appears to have worked so far, so I am GAME to go along. I am sure I will get COVID at some point — I sure seem to be meeting folks, with increasing regularity, who have got COVID despite having had Boosters. I just like to delay it as long as possible — plus getting the boosters costs me nothing, bar some time & effort. Well, I did it.

This time around I was a few weeks behind, mainly because of my last trip to Maine in mid-September. The other two times I got my booster within days of becoming eligible!

Let’s wait & see. Fingers crossed.

I also got my annual flu shot while I was there. This was by far the earliest I have got the flu shot. I typically like to get it around Thanksgiving. Well …

They (i.e., ‘Walgreens’) didn’t have the pneumonia shot that I had also signed up for. Damn! Need to get that at some point. Going for my DREADED annual physical on Tuesday. Maybe they might have it.

The 1st Tick Of 2022, Off Our 100lbs Newfie, In Central New Hampshire (i.e., Alton).

Last week (left) & just yesterday, in the lake which still has some ice.

Yes, she was out for 2-hours this morning with me, off leash, way out in the woods on one of our ‘private’, secret trails.

It was cold both today & yesterday mornings, 32F yesterday & 36F today. So, it didn’t even occur to me that ticks would already be active.

So, a heads up. Be on the lookout for ticks.

My 15-year old daughter, whose dog Rowen is (though I do all the walking, feeding & 90% of the treats), spotted the tick, over her right eye, late in the afternoon.

She had also spent some time in her pen that runs the length of the house. The ground there would have been warmer given that 35% of the pen is under a covered deck.

Once I managed to hold her still getting the tick off was easy enough. It was NOT attached. It even looked pretty lifeless.

She does take ‘Simparica TRIO‘. We found it to be much more effective than ‘Frontline‘ etc.

I just checked where we stood last year. This post was from April 25, 2021. Last year was bad. April 25 would have been three weeks hence. So, I guess we still have plenty of time for the ticks to become active.

I Got My 2nd COVID-19 BOOSTER Today, 5-Months After My 1st Booster.

Click to ENLARGE. Please don’t steal or reproduce. I am very shy.

Given my advanced years & uncertain health, I don’t want to take any chances. Plus, I am still convinced that my first shot — supposedly J&J was a FAKE. I think they injected me with some saline.

Well, now, at least, I have had 3 shots — two of them supposedly Pfizer. Note ‘supposedly‘. I hate to say this, BUT I don’t trust any of the folks involved in this. How do we know? How can we tell. Triple, quadruple vaccinated folks still end up getting COVID. Obama got COVID.

Well, at least I have tried.

As far as I am concerned it is a bloody miracle that I haven’t got COVID as yet. But, I am not complacent. I realize that I could get it tomorrow.

With the 1st booster I managed to get it within 21-hours of it getting approved.

With this the 2nd, I wasn’t in as much of a hurry. PLUS, I did not want to get it on April 1 — April Fools’ Day! So, I waited until today.

Lets see what transpires. Fingers crossed.
