German Man Who Received 217 COVID Vaccines Has Functioning Immune System

I don't know if I hate the people who refuse to mask more or less than the people who wear a mask with their nose out or hanging off their chin.

A spiteful part of me would love to go without a mask, but only if I'm actually sick with something. Only one dude out of 100 some employees mask at work, and people with active fevers and the loving flu don't take time off. And nope, they don't mask, and cough all over poo poo, and glare at me when I sprayed rubbing alcohol on my work phone after they used it.

"Just the flu" my rear end, flu got me loving bad years ago. Like getting to the bathroom was a loving miracle, I think I lost like 5 pounds from not eating and just sleeping and drinking a little water when I needed to.

Report: Absolutely nothing wrong with man who sought 217 COVID vaccinations. "Perfectly normal", say scientists.

The ars article went on to say:

quote:

His antibodies' ability to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 appeared to be between fivefold and 11-fold higher than in controls, but the researchers noted that this was due to a higher quantity of antibodies, not more potent antibodies. Specific subsets of immune cells, namely B-cells trained against SARS-CoV-2's spike protein and T effector cells, were elevated compared with controls. But they seemed to function normally. As another type of control, the researchers also looked at the man's immune response to an unrelated virus, Epstein-Barr, which causes mononucleosis. They found that the unbridled immunizations did not negatively impact responses to that virus, suggesting there were no ill effects on immune responses generally.

Last, multiple types of testing indicated that the man has never been infected with SARS-CoV-2. But the researchers were cautious to note that this may be due to other precautions the man took beyond getting 217 vaccines.

"In summary, our case report shows that SARS-CoV-2 hypervaccination did not lead to adverse events and increased the quantity of spike-specific antibodies and T cells without having a strong positive or negative effect on the intrinsic quality of adaptive immune responses," the authors concluded. "Importantly," they added, "we do not endorse hypervaccination as a strategy to enhance adaptive immunity."

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

yep. getting vaxxed will give you significantly shorter illness with fewer long term effects than you'd otherwise have

the other stuff you can do is stay away from others and wear as much mask as you can get your hands on when around others (N95 ideal, droplet mask if that's all you have). If other people come into your space, give them a mask and insist they wear it while there.

To reduce the risk of long covid take it easy for a few weeks/months after you recover. Don't train for a marathon or Everest assent for a couple months.

My father was invited to dinner by neighbors. I don't think he's socialized like that for years. I had to remind him that he's 86 and unvaccinated and that there's significant risk spending a couple of hours around a table with people. He can make his own choices but I reminded him that if he gets sick I'll have to get on a plane to go take care of him.

This, and to be clear, to be vaccinated, he has to be up-to-date on his shots.

Anyone who has not received the 2023–2024 formulation has a moral duty to tell everyone they interact with.

Ironic, since I lost part of them to testicular cancer, which has a far higher mortality rate than covid. I was just trying to give some helpful advice to people who have seemingly teleported here from spring of 2000.

Not you personally, although you seemed to endorse it with the "moral obligation" thing. Dick Trauma said his/her dad hasn't eaten dinner with friends in years, then apparently browbeat his/her father into staying home to die alone in front of the TV because the outside world is scary.

He/she (I'll just say they now to hopefully avoid offending anybody) said their dad hadn't so much as had dinner with friends in years, and when said dad accepted an invitation, they "convinced" him that was a mortal sin ahd he should continue in his solitude.
