Here's an academic paper for you to ignore

The concept of original antigenic sin (OAS) was put forth many years ago to explain how humoral memory responses generated against one set of antigens can affect the nature of antibody responses elicited to challenge infections or vaccinations containing a similar but not identical array of antigens...

that's no fun, sorry to hear, Linebaugh. hope things turn around, or can be managed.

also another example of our insane, shit healthcare system that can easily bankrupt people. we renew our insurance every fall, my monthly premium seem to go up on average about $100 each year, and the policy buys shittier coverage. as of January 2022, I'll be paying about 2.5 times more per month than I did when I first became self employed, sinful.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Yeah, really sorry to hear that, @linebaugh. I can't imagine living somewhere where having serious health problems are then exacerbated by having to pay through the nose for medical care.

That sounds really rough @linebaugh hope it gets more livable with now you know for sure what it is

Swap to left hand?

 

[Benny Bunter]

That's genius!

 

[Benny Bunter]

Although perhaps a bit unnatural. Maybe one of those old fashioned cigarette holders?

 

[catalog]

Harder than you think to switch but it could save your bacon

 

[Benny Bunter]

As I write this I have the cig in my left hand, phone in my right and it feels fine, so maybe it can be done after all. Thanks for your advice, catalog, I'll give it a go.

 

[catalog]

Swap to left hand?
