I did a welfare check on a friend yesterday.

I hadn't seen him for a few days and thought I should just go make sure he is alright. He is quite sick. He got his annual flu shot and covid shot and became sick within a few hours. He is not sure if it is the flu shot or the covid shot that made him sick but along with his illness he cant raise his arm. The shots have made it so painful to move he is thinking of putting it in a sling. I hope he is feeling better soon as all he can eat is macaroni. The last time he got the covid shot he lost about 30% of his body weight in the 6 weeks it took him to shake it. I have no idea why he got it again.

Hope your friend gets better soon. Couple weeks ago I went to the funeral of the wife of a friend I've known for 55 years. They were big "get vaccinated" proponents and were on top of all the boosters. Seven month ago she caught COVID and had respiratory complications. Passed-away a few weeks ago.

I'm no expert but I think some people are more susceptible to the effects of viruses like flu's and COVID, and the associated vaccines. Either way, I wish him well and it's nice he has someone looking after him.

@rfatoday Sorry to hear of your friend's passing. Such a waste of life. So very sad. Yes I agree with you. The vaxes seem to have exactly the opposite effect to the one desired. My vaxed friends are having a much rougher time with flu and covid this year. Very very rough on them. Fortunately they have all recovered so far but the illness has taken its toll. Most of them lost significant weight because they were too sick to eat.
