More on the broader benefits of Vaxxes.

Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon)@PeterHotez

As I’ve said consistently for several years now, one of the best ways to protect your heart health is to keep up with your Covid vaccinations. And as I also say, remember the antivaccine activists don’t care about you or your family, they have another agenda

Covid vaccine linked to broad protections against heart conditions, study finds

A new study finds the vaccine was linked with nearly 40 percent lower risk of events like heart attack and stroke

Since the WaPo paywalls I found a report on it here.

Which is very cool. My primary objective in getting the COVID shot was to not end up on a ventilator or dead. I'll take the lower heart attack risk as a bonus. :-)

Similar with polio, smallpox, TDaP, MMR...just don't want to get those nasty bugs that can maim or kill me.

The anti-vax people don't have a clue. They grew up in a world where they didn't have to worry about any of these scourges because everyone was already vaccinated. 1poormom grew up in an era where they DID have to worry about them, and she knew many people who fell to some of these horrors. She went to school with several people who had polio. I went to school with ONE. She (mom) was the era of iron lungs. Today, I think there is one functioning iron lung on the planet. Etc.

Me too. I also wanted to avoid long Covid, which now looks like an auto immune disease. The males in my family die from heart disease, so I perked up at this one. My brother is a selective anti-vaxxer - he doesn't get Covid shots so I'm fixin to send him this. I gave him a recumbent stationary bike, and it isn't put together yet, so I'll go over and put it together and have him try it out.
