If I got stuff wrong I apologise. I simply was reacting to what you wrote (and, it looks, got hold of completely the wrong end of it). Again, sincere apologies. It may be that I got weird-ed out by rabid antisemitism in another thread & lost my bearings.

I doubt that it will help, but here's a little story from immediately after I got my booster last Autumn (it connects with your report of eye-problems):-

I walked to town (~20 minutes) & had just bought a cheap hot-chicken sandwich on my way to the bus-stop when my eyesight unhooked. It's a bit difficult to explain, but our eyesight auto-focuses & auto-co-ordinates each eye whilst doing so. In this case, for the first time, and with no reason that I can discern, apart perhaps due to the booster jab, the latter auto-coordination unhooked and I found myself with each eye looking around independently. I had to grab a lamppost to keep my balance, then closed both eyes & the nausea which had been building rapidly backed off. Opening both eyes again it immediately restarted, so I closed them both again & wondered how the hell I was going to cross the road.

On an inspiration I opened just one eye & there was no problem. A minute or two later I opened the other & everything was back to normal. It has never reoccurred. Man, that was strange, but if the booster helps me live I'm happy to pay that price.

I hope that your wife & son do not have any ongoing complications.

Thank you sir.

If you don't know me, I like to joke around and have fun. It brings a smile to my face...and hopefully to others...

...although that last part may be questionable.

As for me, the issue is now moot.

I'm sorry for your issues, but I wish you nothing but the best. My best to and for you!

Take care!
Miyo

@MiyoLinux . . . It's easy to step into a pile of poo when assumptions are made. Those assumptions most always say more about the assumer than the receiver.  You are certainly "special" in my Rolodex for whatever that's worth  . . . 

Thank you!

....however, I must admit that my ego is so HUGE that it's no longer my ego. I've decided (in my wisdom) to combine the two words (HUGE and ego) into one.

So....it's now known as my HUGO!!!

Take care my friend!

Yeah. My bike wouldn't start this morning and it took eleven hours to get to the garage.

Soooo sorry to hear that. Machines . . . grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . .

/me sends another hug plus a cup of green tea . . .

Typhoid Mary also refused to accept what the doctors said (with hindsight, that she was an asymptomatic carrier of Typhoid) and thus killed most of her employers (she was employed as a cook, and Typhoid is water-borne)..

Who said that I don't accept what doctors say?

Good grief man! Chill out.

I gave my personal story. That's all.

Man...or if you prefer...Alex...

I've been tested multiple times. I've gotten the vaccines. I wear a mask and use hand sanitizers. What more do you want from me?

All of these "protections" that people use today? My family has been doing for over a decade (before all of this Covid junk happened) due to our children's health issues. We were looked at as being strange for years, but now our way of life is normal.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Yeah...my ego is HUGE!

You obviously don't know anything about me...despite you being a member here for several years.

...and yes...as you said...

I'm special.

If you don't believe me, just ask my ego...

Having a bad day HoaS?

Yeah. My bike wouldn't start this morning and it took eleven hours to get to the garage.

My wife and son had Corona, were at home for 10 days, and I never caught it.

Yup. That's what Typhoid Mary said.

Dude...I was just giving my story

I simply wanted to point out that you could also be an asymptomatic carrier, this time of Covid-19, so that you could quietly do the decent thing & go get yourself tested so that (if true) you do not infect & kill hundreds of other innocent parties. Or, deploy your raging ego as a scimitar to destroy those unvaccinated around you. Such a difficult choice.

But until there is an organic way to block covid-19 . . .

Dream on . . . the next oopsie will likely be worse because humans never learn.

Sadly, its not always possible if you want to remain healthy.

Yes, many have no choice.

Unless you are extremely careful and in some ways, blessed not to catch it ever.

So... its extremely difficult.

Yes, this is true for 99.9% of the population. But if I am not mingling in society (for which I have little use), the risk of getting COVID is extremely low.

Take a deep breath . . . Let's stop the COVID nonsense here.  Please . . .

To your first point, you are right, because corporations will probably fight to make that as hard as possible.

To your second point, that is wise to stay far away from society.

To your third point, I mean its not nonsense, but I guess we can drop the subject from here on out.

Not like I am going to change people's minds...

So... yeah...

Stay safe and don't die.

Also, side note, to your first point also, yeah... humanity has massive problems with perceived ideas, even if the perception seems right to them, it could be completely false.

Brainwashing is a thing... I consider it to be prevelant throughout politics, one party is worse imo and you know which it is, but both are very bad currently.

But as I listed above, this probably won't change anyones mind, so w/e

Exaaaactly . . . and it turns them into walking Petri dishes . . .

From what I've studied...with the latest strain of Covid, people who have been vaccinated suffer worse symptoms than those who aren't vaccinated. So, it doesn't look good for me if I catch it.

...but I'm special n'stuff, so I should be okay!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

But any covid thread quickly deteriorates into social media style puerile squabbles, both sides waving supposed "facts" around, neither side actually having a clue.  Not worth all the trouble.

Lighten up . . . just old friends catching up and having some fun . . .

@Miyo: sorry but I'm not in the mood. You can stop baiting now.

Having a bad day HoaS?

/me sends another hug . . .

By the way, the vaccines don't protect one from contracting the virus; they will only supposedly help lessen the effects of the virus once contracted.

Exaaaactly . . . and it turns them into walking Petri dishes . . .

Back attacha!

@Miyo: sorry but I'm not in the mood. You can stop baiting now.

Scared; say scared. 

Seriously though...

I wasn't baiting. I gave my story (which testifies against the normal information).

I was responded to, so I tried to have a little fun with it in order to lighten things up.

I may contract Covid today. Who knows?

I wasn't attempting to dispell or lessen the effects of Covid (nor the people affected). I mean...good grief...my wife, son, and daughter have contracted it.

Have I lost people close to me from Covid? Yes.

So, if you thought that I was baiting, I apologize.

...but it's true. I'm special.

Hey Kelsoo . . . it's been a while,  Nice to see you. ...............
Wishing you good health !

Thanks. I visit here most days.

Actually the disease of human hubris and stupidity is the cause of both those problems.

Good for you! I never went the route of direct action but instead, that of words.  My site which collected documentation and news stories was #1 in google rankings for almost 10 years. Scotland is holding the GMO line but the rest of UK not so much. The administrative battle with word-twisting continues at the regulatory level.  In that game, the bad guys always get their way  eventually and I no longer have the stomach for it.

I still buy bulk but also may have to readjust because I just can't eat that much at my ago.

Yeah . . . I do a lot of potatoes too but almost impossible to find decent ones here. Lucky you to have Pink Fir Apple! /me high-fives the Scots!
