    Fucking anti vax idiots.

    I went and got a measles booster earlier this year.

    if you were vaccinated before 1976 you need to go get one to. Your immunity has probably lapsed.

      I had a bone marrow transplant in July. I’ll need all of my childhood vaccines. We don’t start that process until I’m a year out. These scummy lil’ rash rats better not fuck things up around here.

        I feel for you man. I may be facing the same thing.

        Big piece of advice, stay away from grocery stores and shopping in general. I know it’s mentally hard to be locked in the house, but death by pneumonia is really unpleasant.

        I had a friend who was doing chemo. He went late one night to get some groceries without a N95 mask on. He got covid, the flu and a third virus I don’t remember. Dead within a week. Nothing they could do.

          I’m 90 days post transplant. Doing well. Exposure isn’t too much of a problem. Got the flu shot on Tuesday.

      Too late man. You guys are welded at the hip. Went to visit my brother in Cherry Hill this last summer. Half the cars getting gas at Costco had PA tags.
