I don't have any regrets over my decision, and I still plan to get any booster shots that are recommended by consensus. I am even willing, since it seems necessary, to 'take one for the team' to help humanity pull through this and to help protect the most vulnerable. This stance, as I see it a necessity, has actually been a nice modulator of my hyperfocus on self, which continues nonetheless.
You may recall that after the second Moderna shot I did experience chronic fatigue level of fatigue (based on years of having had chronic fatigue in the past) beyond the roughly two days of side effects that were normally cited. That lasted, if I recall right, about two-three weeks before it began to wane. I began to improve but was still missing my vitality. I had been low carb but not consistently or significantly ketogenic for some time while being more focused on caregiver-related life complications. I decided to do whatever it would take to get back into deeper and more consistent ketosis. My vitality returned. I suspect that's not a coincidence. So from my n=1, I'd suggest that ketosis — for whatever reasons — may be good companion to vaccination, especially in sensitive people. That statement, however, needs to be run through the mill before it becomes a 'prescription'.
I believe that all adults should make their own decision as to whether to take the vaccine, including any booster shots. Be assured, I respect your decision.
I'm so glad you're feeling better after going more deeply and consistently into ketosis!
My overarching concern about the vaccines (all of them, not just the mRNA vaccines) is that the mainstream media and social media (and the "medical establishment") are putting out a narrative and sticking to it, no matter what. So people who only follow them will not learn about certain details and concerns that dissenting voices have. Thus, informed consent is largely absent.
Earlier today, I listened to an interview of Dr. Lee Merritt, one of the many highly qualified dissenting voices. She said that Twitter won't allow users to use the word "experimental" in reference to the vaccines, as in the "experimental Moderna vaccine." Why is that censored? It's true that the Moderna vaccine is experimental. These vaccines have Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), not FDA approval. All of these vaccines are experimental at this point in time. I can't help but think that the intention is to mislead people.
I will post some information that I'd like to share. You might not feel inclined to review any of it, and that's fine. But if others stumble upon this thread, they might be interested in it.
ApoE 4/4 - When I was in 7th grade, my fellow students in history class called me "The Brain" because I had such a memory for detail. I excelled at memorization and aced tests. This childhood memory helps me cope!
