Immunisation

A 8-post collection

Monday, Jabs, Shopping and EXTRA

I have people coming around to inspect the roof for hail damage (free) in half an hour. I have to chase Chaos to get ready for a public appearance so we can both get Flu and Rona jabs.

I might as well top up supplies while we're out, 'cause there's no telling how down we're going to be afterwards. Then I go home and work on my offerings, including manually reworking the subtitles for Friday's video because the alternative is subtitles that look like this:

[Shown here, the user interface of Kdenlive, with the subtitles covering half the rendered preview]

That is... not my expected quality level. And since Beloved has taken over my usual means of making subtitles, I need to do these by hand. Which sucks.

AND I need to prep the next video set for today, work on ADT, as well as doing the normal offerings.

I do NOT know how able I'll be for the rest of the week. So I have too much to do today.

As for game night? Well. The internet shat itself just as I was about to start streaming.

UPDATE:

I read the appointment wrong and the roof people are coming tomorrow. FML.

Challenge #03128-H219: It's Not Just a Cold

A Deregger escapee has an unusual quirk that makes them, of all things, immune to the immunoflu. Unfortunately, that means they're apt to contract the illnesses the immunoflu is meant to prevent, and catches a cold. -- Anon Guest

They told Pel he was lucky to survive. Once they discovered his truly peculiar genetic abnormality, those tellings doubled. The immunoflu was one of Humanity's Greatest Hits[1], since humanity could not contain or cure the common cold, they tamed it. Using the

Here are some basics on herd immunity, and here is some more technical research if you’re interested in the details! 

If you’ve ever heard my rants about vaccination, you know it’s a major topic with me. Because hey, I’m one of these immunosuppressed people this comic talks about, so it’s a bit of a sensitive subject. (“Oh, I’m sorry, you don’t like getting vaccinated? I don’t like having three month long respiratory

Fun vaccination fact:

cwnerd12:

It’s not unusual for large, older cemeteries to have a special “babyland“ section dedicated just to infants and young children.

If you spend any time doing historical research involving cemeteries, you’ll notice that child graves were quite common until about the 1960s, when vaccines for Measles, Polio, Mumps, and Rubella were invented.

Autism isn’t the worst thing that can happen to your kids, Babyland is.

Mayo Clinic trial: Massive dose of measles vaccine wipes out cancer

Stacy Erholtz was out of conventional treatment options for blood cancer last June when she underwent an experimental trial at the Mayo Clinic that injected her with enough measles vaccine to inoculate 10 million people.

The cancer, which had spread widely through her body, went into complete remission and was undetectable in Erholtz’s body after just one dose of the measles vaccine, which has an uncanny affinity for certain

Last Person To Get Smallpox Dedicated His Life To Ending Polio

So far, the human race has eliminated just one disease in history: smallpox. But it’s on the cusp of adding a second virus — polio — to that list.

One special man in Somalia was at the battlefront of both eradication efforts. He died unexpectedly last week at age 59 of a sudden illness.

Ali Maow Maalin was the last member of the general public to catch smallpox — worldwide. And he
