What We Can Learn From The Quad-Vaccinated ‘Pfizer’ Boss Getting COVID TWICE Within A Month.

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.
