Latest CBC is in, all good.

I'm happy about my neutrophils and platelets (both went higher) and I feel like I can safely go to have the third vaccine at the end of December (6 mo. after the second one) because the first two did not produce a marked increase in my ALC count. Neither did I have any node enlargement. Now I need to focus on avoiding covid because it's war medicine in the hospitals here. There is not enough hospital staff to handle the ventilators and doctors in some hospitals are already selecting patients with the highest chance of survival when there is more than one of them competing for the same ventilator. I don't want to compete with anyone for one of those.

P.S. I came across an interesting book. Jonathan Haidt - The Righteous mind: Why good people are divided by politics and religion. I'm trying to understand what's behind the current polarization in society. Why the hatred between maskers and anti-maskers, vaxxers and anti-vaxxers, democrats and conservatives etc. This book explains it all through the perspective of human psychology. Very interesting. I'm hooked.

Hi, even if we dont appear to have a response to the vaccinations I am having everything going. We can only try. On paper I could be wasting my time. Need immunoglobulin and taking Ibrutinib. Some people have had a response to the third vaccine. I had tender glands on the jab side.If you watch nature programmes it is clear animals attitudes are like many humans. There are some horrible people. When you hear of the cruelty they do to others, little children, it makes me cry. I watch the news in the morning and lately a little boy was starved and beaten to death. Another little boy was ill treated as a baby and his legs needed amputating. He needs operations now . A scientific experiment showed if you told people they are superior and others beneath them are scum, the people would treat the lower ones with evil treatment as in wars.

I hate the hypocrisy of some people. There is also love and kindness. We need to be thankful to the scientists and doctors who save lives. Anne uk

Yes and no. I actually think that humans are worse than animals. Animals don't do harm to each other without cause as much as humans do. Exactly because their lack of righteousness. Anyways the book is all about this. You might find it interesting.
