      Maybe delusional-paranoia-quantities of shots are safer than none!

    I am from Germany, and the last time I hear about that someone got 217 vaccine shots it was satire because some places offers free food if you get a shot. And he said: “I was just hungry”

      My elderly mother-in-law was terrified of COVID and made it a point to get two extra booster shots a few weeks after she got her original dose. She goes back every three months to re-up. I suspect she’d get more if the Pharmacy didn’t have her on file.

      Some people are just, like, the opposite of anti-maskers. Absolutely paranoid of the disease and ready to grab at any kind of tulpa offered if they’re convinced it’ll offer protection.

        This guy is calling people “Grandpa Biden” as an insult in other threads. I wouldn’t take what he has to say about COVID too seriously. He’s clearly a Fox News nutjob.

        Perhaps she has “Hypochondria?” Who knows how many people/lives in her life that was affected by COVID. At least this article provides some confirmation that she isn’t hurting herself.

            That’s a fair point. Unfortunately, there is still plenty of posts of antivax people dying from deaths that could have been prevented. Which coincides with the fact that the platform is incredibly anitivax in the first place.

            I personally don’t understand the tattoo reference here but have an up vote anyways. 🤷‍♀️

              You typically get a tattoo by having a needle jabbed in your body repeatedly.

            In her defense, Ive had covid 3 times and it really sucked every single time, even with the 3 shots I got. If taking 6 shots would have made it half as bad, I may have gotten them.

      You need to get an even number of shots. 0, 2, 4, 8… Everybody knows that. Its basic science.

      The researchers did a bunch of tests and determined that he never had COVID, though they cannot attribute that to 217 boosters specifically. They noted that it could’ve been isolation, hand washing, etc.

      Better to quote directly from the article:

      Last, multiple types of testing indicated that the man has never been infected with SARS-CoV-2. But the researchers were cautious to note that this may be due to other precautions the man took beyond getting 217 vaccines.

              Oh sorry, I thought by protection you meant masks and social distancing. It’s been a long week! Yes we’re all vaccinated. I’m immunosuppressed so they weren’t sure if my body would respond but apparently so!

        I am unsure if I ever got the virus. Every single time I thought I had it my test came back negative, but my wife and kids got it twice. So it just doesn’t seem likely that I never did.

    How did no one notice he taking like a shot about every 3-4 days on average? Does that even make any sense? The more you try to parse it. Like, no one in his family noticed? Nor his Doctor? Did he travel around the world or to different countrues to get all of them? Since most countries do not have them all.

    Looked into the guy, there is official evidence for 134 of the vaccinations, which include eight different types of vaccines authorized for human use. The remaining are self-reported. But still, guess no one cares or bothers to notice if you are pushing product.

      When the vaccine came out and I got my first shot, I told the nurse who administered it that I would drink it in a smoothie every day if it helped us get past the pandemic. Still would.
