We don't have the AutoPay results yet. It might not even be death they dies from. Don't jump to conclusions. We need more research and more time. These vaccines have been rushed with not enough testing on the billions of tret subjects.
You know, looking at that little scarring in the context of the vaccine, I'm reminded that I heard that there's this famous idea that milk maids are historically seen as the very definition of pretty, and that the idea stems from the fact that they tended to get cowpox, which protected them from smallpox.
So, basically, before smallpox vaccines, the typical woman was so badly scarred somewhere visible like her face by smallpox that a woman who simply didn't have those scars would be considered extremely pretty.
my mom has the vaccine mark! I remember asking her about it as a young kid and that being the first time I ever learned about vaccines. the idea that we "use germs to train our immune systems to fight them" was so cool to me. no wonder I went into biochem when i grew up (courtesy of having parents who didn't let me die to preventable diseases lol)
Please put a nsfw tag on this. I was on the bus and when I saw this I started screaming in pure fear. Everyone else was giving me concerned looks and were saying things like “what’s going on?” and “are you okay sir?”. The fear I felt seeing this horrible image gave me heart palpitations, forcing me drop my phone. Now there’s an entire bus of terrified people screaming in terror from this one image. Even the bus driver saw a single pixel of the image from the mirror causing so much terror that he swerved the bus straight into an orphanage. So many poor children were injured in the crash, but was worse: many of them saw the image. This is all your fault. Dozens of poor orphan children have been forever and irrecoverably traumatized because of your ignorance to put a nsfw tag on this.
Every morning I clock into work, and 12 hours later I clock out covered in jizz because someone dropped their phone while looking at porn and turned the whole trip into a goddamn gangbang. I can’t take it anymore. I’m literally knee deep in spunk by the end of the day, because all you motherfuckers are apparently lubing up your hands and can’t get a grip. We’ve all had to start wearing blindfolds when we exit the front so we don’t accidentally get a peak and start furiously cranking our cocks to “thugposts” or “femboys” or whatever the newest horny fad is.
For the love of god, stop dropping your phone on the fucking train.
I don’t know if I have any physical scars from chickenpox, but the misery of having it is one of my earliest memories.
I recall sitting in the bathroom, everything was itching and painful, the light was off, but what little light there was bored into my head. My mother took a photo of me, with the camera flash on. She was laughing, while also crooning over me.
I didn’t know that there even was a vaccine for chickenpox until I was in my 20s. I was so little, who in their right mind is okay with their child going through that? My mother is an anti-vaxxer and honestly I loathe her for that.
same here, dint realize there was one. and i also found out through my records i had the vaccine but it dint prevent the severity of shingles though, i had it at 20 since i had the chickenpox prior to the vaccine coming out. varicella is pretty mild for children, but its dangerous for adults, the symptoms are considerably more severe and requires treatment asap.
I'm old enough that there actually wasn't a chickenpox vaccine until after I'd already had it. Thankfully, my case wasn't nearly as miserable as what you've described. I just got kinda itchy all over and got to stay in bed watching TV for like a week.
i have shingle scars, but its not atrophied like most people who get shingles, since zoster damages the tissue causing the atrophy, it somewhat hypertrophic. primary varicella scars seems less likely than shingle scars which causes significantly more damage to the skin.
Not sure. The two childhood TB jabs I had when I came back from Doha scarred me a bit like this but lower down the forearm. The second one being a bit pussy. (Pus, pusy, pussi) a bit infected
Didn’t need the school ones when it came to testing in high school for obvious reasons.
For all the circlejerk, smallpox vaccines used to leave very large scar. As if someone put out a sigarette on your shoulder. Newer versions of it no longer do this, but the older versions scar could get very ugly.
My mother has one; a little spot on her arm where her skin just, kind of wrinkles inward a little. It doesn't stand proud like a wound that scabbed over, it's sunken in.
I'm a millennial, I'm not vaccinated against smallpox, it was certified eradicated 5 years before I was born.
Yeah that's exactly it. I've never seen one of those...fresh. I think they stopped using that kind of vaccine before I was born, again I never got vaccinated against smallpox, joys of being born in the 80's. Was it an open sore? Or did it just...sink in?
I remember reading that some folks (actresses, models) would get vaccinated in less conspicuous places, like the inner thigh, but now I can't find any documentation for it.
I was actually talking to my mother about her vaccine scar today. She says she had a friend who got vaccinated the same time she did. But her friends mother was super vain, so told the vaccinator guy to give her daughter the shot on her thigh, so a swim suit would cover it.
But outer thigh is lower than where bathing suits show so you saw the scar anyway, and the mother was pissed. Mother's friend didn't care though, since she was a kid.
I got an arm infection near the injection site of one vaccine that was so bad that there was briefly discussion of possibly needing to amputate it if the third round of antibiotics didn't clear it up. When the primary abscess at the injection site ruptured, I collected over a pint of bloodypusieyuck in the first couple of hours. Fortunately, it began resolving shortly thereafter, but it definitely made me more wary of vaccinations.
That being said, I still got vaccinated for COVID and some other things after that. Because I am capable of taking a deep breath, rationalizing the actual proven risk odds and then deal with my very real anxiety and do the thing I know has the highest chance of being the best course of action (at least sometimes).
Though, I do always ask they do it in my non-dominate arm now, just in case.
Reminder to older millenials and genx: vaccinations age out and measels can reset your immune system so talk to your gp and get yourself an mmr booster. If you're in Australia it's free at a vaccinating chemist if you don't have the third shot on your record.
(You don't even need a gp visit for that last, or online records. I literally took in a pink 1970's infant vaxx record with the 90's additions handwritten in. staff were incredibly fascinated)
Had my vaccine titers drawn for a job and my mmr levels were just a smidge low, so got a booster in my 30's. Glad I did with all the recent uptick in cases
She agrees, it was the polio vaccine in the sugar cube. She was also unable to get a second cube, as the small white girl in the bright red coat was very distinctive and they told her to stop trying to get another cube.
