Vaccine Warning! This happened yesterday and is important information for older individuals , especially those of us over 65.

A friend had his booster dose of the vaccine at a pharmacy, after which he began to have blurred vision on the way home. When he got home, he immediately called the pharmacy for advice about seeing a doctor, or to be hospitalized.

He was told NOT to go to a doctor or a hospital, but to immediately return to the pharmacy and pick up his glasses. #covid #humor

Don’t position yourself as eco-warriors while actively encouraging members to engage in unnecessary and environmentally destructive activities. https://content.sierraclub.org/outings/trekking-mt-everest-nepal.
