@babs1956 yes, I get vaccinated for COVID every 6 months and influenza annually. both illnesses have been shown to activate dormant cancer cells and cause them to proliferate (which can lead to new tumors and metastasis.) I use the Novavax (now called Nuvaxovid) COVID vaccine because it is more durable (the protection lasts longer) than the MRNA vaccines. it also has fewer side effects for me. I also wear a N95/KN95 respirator in indoor spaces outside of my home. I'm serious about avoiding respiratory infections.

I do the same, vaccines and wear my N95 masks in public, once back home I’m reciting the alphabet twice while washing my hands lol.
I didn’t know about the more durable covid shot, I’ll look into that for next time, thank you for all this information.

2 Reactions@daisydays great job on prioritizing your health and safety! I get my Nuvaxovid at CVS, but Costco also carries it. as of this year, it's manufactured by Sanofi. another reason to avoid COVID is that the SARS-COV-2 virus harms CD8 Tcells (those are the ones that attack cancer cells.) they are harder to replace the older we get and we definitely need all of ours!
