My older sister died of Covid last year. She caught it before the vaccine came out. Perhaps she would still be here if the vaccine had been available at that time. Who knows? My other two sisters and I are all vaccinated, including the booster shot. I know so many who refuse to get the shot but that is their choice and I don't hold it against them. It's their body and their lives.

    So sorry about your sister.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Vaccinated people also get corona--the delta variant is nasty. Regardless, I'll be getting my booster ASAP--earliest appointment I could get is 11/22.

Many feel like your friend, they are afraid of a reaction to the vaccine. I am sorry your daughter has the virus. You are a good friend to stay with Chuck so he would feel safe in case something did happen. Your story holds the reader's interest and is relevant to today's world.

I thought you did another great job in this little piece, and here you wove in so many of the frustrations and angst that we all have experienced with the epidemic and the vaccinations. My sister almost imagined herself sick with worry over getting that vaccine, that I had absolutely no side effects from. But this is part of being human; our responses are all different, for whatever reason, and we have to learn to live with each other. I think that's what I got out of your little story. estory

Hello Liz,

Another seemingly effortless and very amusing round up of events. Your life appears to be an endless source of material, and I have developed a certain sympathy for Chuck, who often gets on the wrong side of you pen.

However.

The man is obviously a Master of the Chase, and I have miscast him all this time. What, o what a lad: "...he was terrified that his throat would constrict in the middle of the night, when he'd be alone. I offered to stay overnight; he took me up on it..."

Magnificent - Chuck pulled off the old, but rarely used, anaphylaxis-sleep-over manoeuvre, what a cad indeed!

Yes. A great instalment in an endless, and endlessly amusing, tale. Keep up the good work.

I wish you well with your continued writing - stay safe.

cheers

phill

    Your naughty inference is priceless in its irony, given what didn't happen between us.

    Cheers. LIZ

Fiberglass! That is a strange one.

Wow, he's exposed, and for an hour in an enclosed car. Good thing he is vaccinated.

I am so sorry about your daughter. I hope she does well fighting this scourge.

Hmm, I wonder does Chuck know he is FanStory famous? I kind of understand him, many people had phobias and fears of the vaccine. It was new and rushed. The virus itself is relatively new to the world. People fear what they do not know or understand.

Hope your baby is okay.

    I've let him know he's famous!

    My daughter (age 32) is feeling better, though she's lost her sense of taste and smell.

Your friend Chuck sounds like a laugh a minute! Glad he went through with it and had the vaccine though, as it protects him and his brother. Fortunately I had not one side effect, I was waiting and waiting for something and nothing happened! I was quite disappointed and wondered if I'd really had the vaccine! Ha ha ha, you can't please everyone Elizabeth, a fine write, I was entertained, love Dolly x

Thousands die every year from the flu and pneumonia, yet there's no mandate to take the shot. It's an option. The mandate should go across the board. But I do like your story and pray your family...vaccinated and non-vaccinated, are doing fine.

Thank you for sharing this. It seems Chuck and I share a lot. However, I have seen members with and without the vax still come down with Covid. I had the vaccine and reacted terribly the second time. I had a hot, red rash for weeks.

Before the vax, I had Covid twice, and reacted to the spike proteins in the second vax. I was in bed, unmoved, for three days after my second dose of the Moderna vaccine.

My sister had Covid recently and took the Ivermectin protocol and was well in three days. She's an anti-vaxer. She paid out of pocket as her insurance didn't cover it, around $300. Something's up on the pig farm if this treatment is not mentioned more often as a viable option for Covid. I think the government and the powers that be, want the control and the fear. Fear is mighty powerful.

I'm glad your friend is better. Check on the Ivermectin protocol.
Sending you my best today,
Sal XOs...
