Okay, did this episode really happen regarding this woman with the five doses and six syringes? I know how you have a sense of humor but just asking if this is true or not.....

You did a great job expressing your thoughts and feelings, Iza. I enjoyed reading your 'rant' and I agree. It is still a crisis no matter how others in the world view it. I read the article about the 'extra' amount of vaccine given to that women--in Italy, I believe. Hope she is ok.

I guess all people are the same, where ever they, whatever nationality, they/we are tarred with the same brush, imperfection, but this is funny, I don't think five jabs doesn't do anything more that one jab, just more poison pumped in, beautifully written Iza, well done, blessings Roy
Typo : trusting(,) entirely offer(ed) her arm...

So glad those symptoms got better. I just got my second dose and here we have it just three weeks apart. I'm glad you're feeling better and I hope things will start opening up soon for you! We miss our Canadian shoppers here!

Yes, I heard about the Italian nurse accidentally giving her those doses. At least, she realized her error and immediately let people know. The patient was sent directly to Emergency to be watched. No reaction. So I think she was completely safe. I hope they give her free medical care for the rest of her life!

Suggestions:
the most badass in the Canadians story? (in Canadian history)
that "cold poridge" (porridge)
women prepared to leave the torture chair, (woman) singular - only one poor victim of 5 doses.

Iza you keep me up-to-date with what's happening in Canada regarding Corona, with a touch of humour to make the medicine go down easier. I think those of us in Ontario are being challenged the most. Thanks for this.

This is another one of those chapters that articulate the frustrations with bureaucracy. Its actually a pretty unsettling story of the Italian lady who accidentally got five doses. There was a story here of someone who got a saline injection instead of the vaccine. And someone who got one shot of Pfizer, and then a second shot of Moderna. It all goes to show that manmade solutions come with man made problems and side effects. estory

How horrible!!!! In the US, I could see a law suit heading that nurses way. I am not sure what's going on up there. LOL I am sure things will eventually get back to normal, at least I hope.

Yeah, I have mixed viewpoints on the covid situation. The situation is so unique; we've never been through anything like this - not even remotely similar. That being said (and unnecessarily so):

This is good stuff, Iza. As usual. You really tell a story well. It jars the mind and assails the senses. The information you selected and presented really tell a story about government mindsets versus human individuality and perceived freedoms. Nice work!

Oh my, Iza, that certainly doesn't sound very professional or healthy to receive an overdose of anything ... especially a shot we aren't positively sure of its reactions. In the hospital, they tried to give my husband an overdose of insulin because the nurses were distracted... thank heavens, I was there to stop them. Smiles, Carol

Outrageous--brilliant rant on the craziness--sorry to hear how sick you were--it sucks that you can't get the next for 4 months vs weeks--is it even going to be effective?
