The fever broke around 11PM-1AM last night. Fell asleep for about an hour watching Loki and when I woke up I felt a lot better. Managed to watch 1.5 movies before the lack of sleep from before started to catch up with me. Finished that second movie after some rewinding here and there and went to bed at 6AM. Slept till 2PM, which is about a normal period of time for me.

Vaccinations and/or exposure to new viruses & bacteria, and what that does our bodies' immune systems would probably be classified as a type of epigenetics (doesn't alter your DNA, but does alter gene expression in certain cells).
The body's immune system cells (like white blood cells, etc) do in fact alter their gene expression to fight off new infections. That's necessary (and a normal process, ordinarily at least) in order for you body to produce entirely new protein constructs. For example, the immune system, in response to viruses, produces proteins (interferon) that are specifically tailored to each new virus and prevents them from replicating within your cells.
Interestingly, researchers tried (synthetic/lab produced?) interferon as a form of vaccine for Covid-19 and other coronaviruses, but didn't have much luck with it. Evidiently, there are other tools for defeating viruses and much more to the immune system than what's covered in college level Biology I & II.
New York (CNN Business)The pandemic sparked recession ended in April 2020 after just two months, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. That makes the most recent US economic downturn the shortest on record.
Maybe their real agenda is to make people sick in the hopes they die to thin out the herd but those pesky scientist were too quick in developing a vaccine!!!

Imagine having to wear a disguise to go get health care due to the rednecks in your life. In addition to this multiple reports of teens being thrown out of the house by their parents for getting the vaccine.
Anybody remember when Mitt Romney gave his speel on Russia being the US's #1 geopolitical foe during a presidential campaign debate and was mocked on stage by his Democrat opponent (as well as the media & other Dems for weeks or months after)?
Last week, the church directed that all lectors and other lay people that help as masses had to start masking up again. I was lectoring at mass yesterday, so I wore a mask. As I'm reading the announcements at the start, I had a guy in the 2nd pew stand up and start yelling at me to remove my mask.
Interestingly, one of the announcements was just reading the directive for us to wear masks again. I just read louder over him for a bit, then told him I wasn't going to remove my mask. At that point the priest came out, told him to sit down and shut up. When the guy said he wouldn't, the priest told him he would call the cops.
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald A NYT reporter on CNN justifying Obama's huge maskless birthday bash because he only invited "a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd" is about as emblematic of liberal discourse as it gets.
What happened to all the concerns about vaccinated people passing Delta to the unvaccinated?
