Data on Allergic reactions to Covid 19 Vaccine.
Since the Misinformation is rife by the usual suspects, I thought some actual data from Doctors might be in order. Since this paper mentions the word "Anaphalaxis" Here is a definition from Wikipedia.
Heres the data
11 cases per million is 0.00011% chance. The misinformation peddlers are saying the disease is has only a 0.01% chance of death (actually approx 2.7%) and the high rate of reactions to the vaccine is a reason why you shouldn't take it.
In fact the rate of reaction is 1000 times less than even their lies about the fatality of COVID, and the rate of death is 0%. Its FAR safer than COVID-19 even by their twisted metrics.
You can read the rest of the paper by yourself. It's only 2 pages and an easy read.
In response to: Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death. It typically causes more than one of the following: an itchy rash, throat or tongue swelling, shortness of breath, vomiting, lightheadedness, low blood pressure. These symptoms typically come on over minutes to hours.
Common causes include insect bites and stings, foods, and medications. Other causes include latex exposure and exercise. Additionally, cases may occur without an obvious reason. The mechanism involves the release of mediators from certain types of white blood cells triggered by either immunologic or non-immunologic mechanisms. Diagnosis is based on the presenting symptoms and signs after exposure to a potential allergen.

Heres the data
In response to: During December 14 to 23, 2020, after administration of a reported 1?893?360 first doses of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (1?177?527 in women, 648?327 in men, and 67?506 with sex of recipient not reported),3 CDC identified 21 case reports submitted to VAERS that met Brighton Collaboration case definition criteria for anaphylaxis, corresponding to an estimated rate of 11.1 cases per million doses administered. Four patients (19%) were hospitalized (including 3 in intensive care), and 17 (81%) were treated in an emergency department; 20 (95%) are known to have been discharged home or had recovered at the time of the report to VAERS. No deaths from anaphylaxis were reported.
Table -
Median interval from vaccine receipt to symptom onset was 13 minutes (range, 2-150 minutes); 15 patients (71%) had onset within 15 minutes; 18 (86%) had onset within 30 minutes.3 The most common symptoms and signs were urticaria, angioedema, rash, and a sense of throat closure. Seventeen (81%) of 21 patients with anaphylaxis had a documented history of allergies or allergic reactions, including to drugs or medical products, foods, and insect stings; 7 (33%) had experienced an episode of anaphylaxis in the past, including one after receipt of rabies vaccine and another after receipt of influenza A(H1N1) vaccine (Table). During the same period, VAERS identified 83 cases of nonanaphylaxis allergic reactions after Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination.3 Commonly reported symptoms in nonanaphylaxis allergic reactions included pruritus, rash, itchy and scratchy sensations in the throat, and mild respiratory symptoms.

Digital Dentist...
I've changed dentists a few times over the years and the last was referred by my insurance agent because she's in my network. This came around the time of COVID. The price was right but the work was so-so. I preferred she was the only dentist in the office and each room was separate. Returned for a cleaning earlier this year, I did a deep cleaning procedure and had to pay out of pocket because she claimed the insurance company wasn't paying her invoices. She would reimburse me when she got paid from the insurance company.
As a followup, I called the insurance company to inquire about the reimbursement and they said that dentist was no longer in network. They should have notified me prior to their service they had a status change... instead, I was lied to believing I would be reimbursed after she resolved her billing issues.
Due to the unusual circumstance, the insurance company filed a grievance report and will notify me of the outcome.
I'm back to a previous dentist who I've used a few times, leaving because I didn't like the corporate environment with several dentists, hygienists and staff running around in a 'corral-like' environment. Okay, the COVID fear subsided and the only ones wearing masks are the dentist and assistant.
I went for a cleaning last week and x-rays revealed some decay in a tooth that has a large composite filling on both sides. Crown was recommended. I have a VIP insurance plan with them so the dental work is discounted. Today was the day for preparation of a crown. I was in the chair for 90 minutes and the procedure this time used a digital 3D scanner and not the 'old fashion' rubberized casting that gets mailed to the laboratory for creation of the crown.
It's quickly becoming the standard for dentistry and coincidence, one of my clients works at a dental lab telling me how much better crowns that are cut using the digital technology fit.
I'll know in less than 10 days when I go back for the final.
You can quote me on this:
"The only pain you should feel from a dentist is paying the bill when services are rendered!"

What habits can lead to significant increase in lifespan?
The data used for this study was collected between 2011 and 2019. It featured U.S. veterans between the ages of 40 and 99. Over 30,000 participants died during the follow-up.
The study found that men who have adopted all eight habits at the age of 40 would be predicted to live 24 years longer, on average, than men who adopted none of these habits. Women who have adopted all eight habits by age 40 would live 23 years longer on average compared to those who adopted none.
The eight identified habits are:
* being physically active
* not smoking
* managing stress
* maintaining a good diet
* not regularly drinking alcohol excessively
* maintaining good sleep hygiene
* maintaining positive social relationships
* not developing an opioid addiction

A GLOMMY GLOW
"Suddenly running with the herd you discover that the great creators of wisdom and beauty did not turn their backs on life but built their admirable worlds through a loving sublimation of the trifles that also make up existence.
But when he looks around, he only sees stupidity, vulgarity, and alienation.
Moreover, when he contemplates the interior of himself, the spectacle is no more stimulating: a pit of despair and exasperation, a radical inability to care for anything that fills the lives of others.
And yet, "-a man has the right to be alone with death without being disturbed by strangers-"
What are the reasons for the incompatibility between you and the world? Prisoner of intellect and abstraction, you lose the sense of the everyday, the gift of communication and sociability, the enjoyment of the senses.
Living the anguish of a madman who leaves one tragedy and lives the imminence of another! "
With the great Mario Vargas Llosa

Have You Ever...
Have you noticed that, in this age of information and disinformation, you can find an article, video, statistic, "scientific review", chart, or blog to support any and all of your personal biases?
I would like to see critical thinking skills come back into vogue.
Questioning ones beliefs and biases is the only way one can truly break through self imposed limitations and fears.
Ancient wisdom has a philosophy that states, "watch your loyalties and your prejudices"
Any thing, including ideas that you attach to, have the potential to cause you suffering.
Best question in the world?
Why?
Why do I believe that?
Why do I need to cling to that thought?
Why do I have that fear?
Etc....

Well, it's time for more surgery!!
I had a colonoscopy done about 2 weeks ago and the doctor found a polyp that looks more like a button. Because it's so weirdly shaped he couldn't snip it like the doctor operating usually can. Soooo, he's going to have to cut me open.
I got colon cancer 10 years ago and I had a large portion of the colon removed. This polyp will require the same thing because of it's size and the the new connection will require some work.
It appears all this time that the 3 earlier colonoscopys "found" nothing but it appears the other doctors didn't probe far enough. I am fortunate that the doctor, from blood tests and other tests, found it and he also says it is not cancer. WHEW!!!!
Anyway, I hope for some prayers from my friends here!! Thanks for your thoughts!

Mental health
Mental health is a topic we collectively need to take more seriously. We can't just write everyone off as crazy. No one asks to be depressed. Show empathy and compassion for those living with a mental health condition And ignoring your depressed friend or family member could lead to fatality. Being that I've seen many suffered severe depression for years, I feel that I can be one of the voices of the voiceless. Most people don’t realize that having they are having a problem or even understand the symptoms of depression. Talk openly about mental health, You can observe your negative thoughts without accepting them as truth or allowing them to dictate your actions. It is painful to hear that you are feeling so lonely and that you feel as though you don’t know what to do anymore. When we feel isolated and alone, we often turn against ourselves. You should never be too proud to ask for help, and should take what’s offered to you. I’ve found that holding in the pain, causes so many emotionally problems for yourself. Be courageous fight your insecurities, face the challenges try to expand your mind. At some point in your life, you may discover your true purpose in life. Ignore the scoffers and those that send you messages with full of ignorance,just block them from your sight,watch them disappear. .
