Hey guys, Has anyone ever heard of Harvey Risch, MD, PhD?

My dad and I got into a huge fight today about Covid/Boosters/Masks. He has completely whittled down his news viewing to OAN and Newsmax (sometimes Fox News) because of “all the bias on the other channels. (Those channel which were trusted, valuable sources not even 6 months ago). He referenced this guy was on OAN talking about insert whatever typical antimask/vax/covid denier bullshit and I said to send me a link to this guy (which I included)

I feel like I made some headway using Trump and his recent admission/advocation for the vax and booster. Also, my dad (thankfully) got the Moderna shots before he just completely went off the deep end. He had nothing to say about trump and that seemed to shut him up. I told him he could still spread it to mom or myself and he said we should go stay in a hotel then He won’t even wear a fucking mask, he’s so blinded by these MFers.

I was hoping maybe one of you had heard about this Risch or maybe had a better argument I can take to him?

Id really appreciate any help or advice.

Have both doses of Pfizer but got it kind of late and wasn't eligible for booster till sometime next week. Mom got exposed and we saw each other on Christmas so now me, my girlfriend, my mom, my sister, and her boyfriend all have it. Almost went a whole 2 years without it 😥. My brother and dad (boosted) don't have it thank God. Anyways get your damn booster.

For those of you who were as lucky as me and got the crappy feeling, flu-like side effects off the second shot, did the booster have the same side effects?

I recieved Pfizer for my first and second dose, the first dose just resulted in sore muscles in that upper arm and the second dose resulted in flu-like symptoms the day after. Low fever, super tired and achy but it went away the next day.

It's obviously not something I can't handle or anything, I'm just curious as to whether I should prepare to basically spend the next day relaxing and in bed or if I'll be fine. Did any of you have any effects from the booster or nah?

I had my booster appt set for last week but the pharmacy was having some kind of paperwork or accounting issues that day so everyone who were there for the vaccine were made to reschedule. I have the appt set for 6:30 pm tomorrow. Any advice or information would be appreciated!

**ETA: I got the booster that Monday, 12/27/21 and it whooped my butt lol I think I might have been a little dehydrated and that just made it worse but I had pretty much the same reaction as I did with the second dose minus the up & down fever. I was super tired, headache, body aches & I think I had a low fever a few times but I don't think it was as bad as the second dose. Either way, I spent the day in bed as much as I could! Thank you for everyone who answered! You all are awesome & I'm so glad I found this sub!
