Re: vaccines. I will not get another covid vaccination and, now that I have PMR, and am reluctant to get flu vaccinations as well. My brother and I both contracted PMR within 7 days of receiving covid booster shots last fall. His condition devolved into GCA and pericarditis. According to European and Japanese studies published on PUBmed, there are reports of higher than expected incidences of PMR within 30 days of receiving covid booster shots. There have been no studies in the US reporting on adverse effects, if any, from receiving MULTIPLE covid vaccinations. The FDA ignores its drug adverse event reporting system unless the adverse events are reported in the news. (I base this statement on personal knowledge- I worked for the DOJ and litigated cases against pharmaceutical companies on behalf of the FDA).

I plan to get my flu shot as I can’t even remember the last time I had the flu. Have not had a covid booster since 2022 and do not plan on getting another. Ive read enough stories about pmr and covid boosters.
