Last year we hardly had any turkeys. We would hear them, but not see them. This year they've been all over the neighborhood. There have been many baby turkeys. Here they are in the side yard. The pink flags in the background outline yet another unsuccessful attempt to grow grass in that area, so the guys that mow the yard don't cut there.
Today I had to freeze my credit with the three reporting agencies because I was part of the Change Healthcare data breach. I think this was the breach that made it so that doctors could not get paid, and crippled much of healthcare in the US. I hate these people. Anyway, I'm frozen now so even if they get my information off the dark web, they can't open new accounts in my name.
I have also noticed that even though I cancelled the New York Times digital subscription, and lost access to their website, they are still billing me. So tomorrow that will be another 30 minutes or so of my life that I will never get back.
The main purpose of this post is to document our latest booster for
Covid. This time we got Novovax. It's not a m-RNA vaccine, it's
protein based.. There have been journal articles indicating it covers
the variants better and reduces viral loads more than the m-RNA. Costco
finally got it in, we got it this afternoon. We both have headaches.
My arm does not hurt at all. So, we'll see. Since they did away with
vaccine cards I have to write it down here. My vaccine history is an
open book.
That's it!
Change healthcare data breach? I know nothing of this! Glad I got my covid injection from Cost Co. good to know...and why are there wild turkeys in your neighborhood? How does that happen? Escapees from old MacDonald's farm? You must not have many dogs running around- the turkeys would be no more!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, good that you got your injection, covid is not letting up over here! Wicked virus! Friends keep getting it over and over.
We're still waiting for the covid vaccine and flu vaccines to be made available. I don't know why it's always so late up here.
ReplyDeleteTurkeys kind of give me the willies, just because they're so big and I used to get chased by a turkey when I was a teen (on my friend's uncle's farm).
I would not want turkeys in my yard.It's been a year at least, probably longer since I've had a covid vaccine. the virus doesn't seem very prevalent around here but maybe I'll get the Novovax. even though I got the m-RNA vax four times, it kind of gives me the creeps. stupid, I know.
ReplyDeleteWe both just got our Covid and Flu shots. I had a slight rash on the arm and Dave had no reaction whatsoever. So far, so good but we're flying away in the big silver germ tube this weekend so wish us luck! Jesse has turkeys in his city neighborhood, go figure!
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the vax. I hadn't heard that the new ones aren't mRNA. I wonder if that's what we'll be offered here? (Assuming we're offered one at all!)
ReplyDeletePfizer and Moderna are still in rotation. Novovax was late to market and is still trying to gain market share.
DeleteI had my last covid shot in the summer, thinking to safeguard myself from getting sick before my daughter's wedding, because I did not plan to miss it. It likely is ineffective against the new variants but I have remained healthy. Would love to know more about the Novovax shot vs the Pfizer vax, since Moderna seems to have disappered.
ReplyDeleteThe Public Health Agency recently approved both Novovax and Pfizer, so I assume our province will roll them out about the middle of October. Not in time for my cruise but at least I'll be able to get them when I get home. Hope your reaction remains mild.
ReplyDeleteThose turkeys better head out of town before Thanksgiving. :)
I have gotten the Novavax 2 times now. No reaction whereas very sick from Moderna and Pfizer. Never had Covid.
