10 INCREDIBLE ways to BOOST your immune system:
The Measles vaccine
The Mumps vaccine
The Rubella vaccine
The Tetanus vaccine
The Diphtheria vaccine
The Polio vaccine
The HPV vaccine
The Pneumonia vaccine
The Hepatitis B vaccine
The Covid-19 vaccine
legraLeGraSelfishly, I wish-beyond-wish that there were some tick-disease vaccines out there:
Many colleagues / families of colleagues in the NYC area have been taken out by:
Lyme
&
Babesiosis

chx@projektionsyta @atthenius @luckytran https://vaccine-schedule.ecdc.europa.eu/Scheduler/ByDisease?SelectedDiseaseId=27 it doesn't look like it's easy to get in most EU counties. But if I misinterpreted this table, let me know.
I don't understand the table. But this vaccine is super easy to get in Sweden - I don't know about other countries.
mirek kratochvil@projektionsyta @chx @atthenius @luckytran it's also supported by some insurance companies in Czechia -- they will repay you the vaccine cost, but before that you basically have to find&organize it yourself. OTOH I never had big issues with that.
AndroidDreamer@chx @projektionsyta @atthenius @luckytran The table illustrates national policies for mandatory and recommended vaccination (in general or for specific groups). The vaccine is likely available in countries with no specific policy set. The site is EU- specific.
Alexia Gaudeul@chx @projektionsyta @atthenius @luckytran it is also covered in Germany and in Belgium. The only issue is you have to get three shots spaced by one year or so, it is not an easy vaccine to get done properly!
And then you need to "refill" with certain intervals. But my vaccinator sends a reminder as part of the service.

I remember a friend in NYC getting Lyme disease over 30 years ago. Don't know if they got it in NYC.
I was from upstate NY and was already familiar with checking for fleas and ticks to avoid it.
If there are no vaccines I hope the detection and treatment has improved.
AquariusLyme Disease is caused by a bacterium. Vaccines are effective in virus antibody production, not so much bacteriae.
'As of 2023, clinical trials of proposed human vaccines for Lyme disease were being carried out, but no vaccine was available. A vaccine, LYMERix, was produced, but discontinued in 2002 due to insufficient demand. There are several vaccines for the prevention of Lyme disease in dogs' 🙄 -see canine hemangiosarcoma - Retrievers
Cantras@aquarius1842 @mdd @atthenius @luckytran thank anti-vaxxers and similar grifters for the downfall of Lymerix, because they started suing and saying they had problems from it, without evidence and despite the FDA/CDC *looking* for evidence. [Same Wikipedia article, under Vaccination -> lymerix]
@aquarius1842 @mdd @atthenius @luckytran which has been said multiple times up and down thread, now that i look. We're all grumpy about it.
Andrew@atthenius @luckytran I don't think its selfish to want to prevent a deadly disease
Kenny Kravitz@atthenius @luckytran My step-sister has just been diagnosed with Lyme's and I don't think she realises how long she's likely to be ill.
What's really incredible is how she got it: a bird dropped a tick it was trying to eat and it landed on her neck!
MarjorieR@luckytran not fogetting the RSV and Shingles vaccines.
John Caveney woke is me🛠️@luckytran And the shingles vaccine.
Brent Guernsey, Artrocity StudioI'll see your ten and raise you flu and shingles vaccines.
David@luckytran Doctors don't* want you to know this one weird trick!
*we do. We absolutely do.
DarkAthena 🐝@luckytran @jstatepost They won’t give me Shingles or Pneumonia since I’m not 50 yet. They will give me mpox though.
Lee C@luckytran I wish I could get the Shingles vaccine, but they're only giving it to the over -65s
Jessie Nabein 
@luckytran I should get my travel vaccine boosters!!! aaaa!!
I wish they offered tick bourne encephalitis vaccine in North America, having to go to Europe just for that is annoying :(

Ertain@luckytran This doc knows what's up.
Sally Strange@luckytran "Actually, you DON'T gotta catch 'em all!"
Bc Clarity Carlton-Martin@luckytran Only missing #7
Andrew Bartlett@Clarity @luckytran Yeah, wasn't subsidised nor encouraged for boys and men when I was still in the recommended age group. But got the rest, including recent MMR as I think they didn't do a teen shot for boys at the time.
Deb Nam-Krane HAS MOVED@luckytran can't I just rub tea tree oil on everything instead?
Soozcat@luckytran Only don't be like me in 2020 and try to get them all in the shortest window possible (reasoning that if I did get sick, it wouldn't be from something I could have prevented with a vaccine). My immune system was so hyped up and confused that I got hives at the drop of a hat, once had a full anaphylactic reaction that put me in the hospital (cause still unknown), and a visit to an allergist showed I was allergic to pure water (usually the control when testing skin allergens).
...I got better
A consideration for canine annual vaccination - now recommended for 3 year interval - is the increased incidence of spleen hemangiosarcoma . The spleen is part of the immune system.
LIke in humans, one vaccination may be enough for life-long protection w/o stressing the immune system.
Heathen 🐈@luckytran
Also the whooping cough vaccine

D Ingram@luckytran I wonder how many antivaxers wear glasses and/or use joint supports and can't see the idiocy of their arguments against vax.
jason huish esquire@luckytran immunotherapy would help
toxtethogrady@luckytran One incredible way to boost your immune system is to not believe any of the horseshit espoused by RFK Jr...

Reminds me. I need to ask my GP about TDAP and pneumonia. I had the former like, 11 years ago. No idea about TDAP.

My grandmother and uncle were both taken out in part by pneumonia. Given they both also had COPD and I've never smoked, but still. I'd rather not find out how it is.

Quark Maker@luckytran As the Global Warming component of Climate Change continues, frozen tundra and ancient ice sheet melting are and likely will continue to release ancient microbes, bacterium, etc., quite possibly leading to diseases we've never heard of or seen before, and possibly releasing stuff we thought went extinct. We're going to need much better resourcing and funding, and the whack-a-doodle lunatics Trump is putting in charge represent an incredible threat to public safety.
@luckytran Moreover, the anti-intellectual movement we're seeing grow in this country will only add fuel to the fire by sabotaging future generations, helping ensure they are less capable than those who came before. Religion, pseudo-religious-pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, etc are going to impair future generations' capacity for achievement, which in addition to all the lamentable impacts it will likely have on medical studies and developments, will make it difficult for the U.S. compete.
Jhooper@luckytran also boosters
Bodling@luckytran I'd kind of like it if we could add Lyme vaccine to the list.
Noah Jin@luckytran how about the flu vaccine?
RONZILLA@luckytran “Read about this one weird trick to boost your immune system…”
fluffy 💜@luckytran And influenza! Super important and so often neglected.

@luckytran when will my two under five year olds be able to get the Covid Vaccine here in NZ? I’d run out and get them both jabbed in a heartbeat if they were allowed like they are in other countries.
Dartagnan_C@luckytran pneumonia?? Didn't know that one existed. Got the rabbies one though... not trying to impress you or anything...
windy@luckytran
Been studying many of those vaccines for 20 years. I'm not sure they all simply "boost immunity", certainly not all in the same way, for the same duration and with the same price to pay in terms of possible individual and societal side effects. I tend to think there's much cleaning up to do in that matter, both healthwise and business-wise. I agree with RFKjr's precautionary approach. Note: I don't care about Trump -- I rather believe in our free speech, and my right to be wrong.

Edu@luckytran One of the human inventions that has saved more human lives.
Sean Randall@luckytran I'm pretty sure about 7 out of 10 of those are routinely given to children in the UK at varying ages.
mivox is exhausted 
@luckytran @GhostOnTheHalfShell Pertussis is probably more widely available than polio these days tho.
Mark Swingler@luckytran I hope no-one interprets your use of the much misused word "incredible" in its literal meaning.

Don't forget the Chickenpox vaccine, which also effectively serves as a vaccine against shingles

Mikel Jay@luckytran wait, of all those, your covid-19 is the only one that doesn't effectively remove the virus. This is A quiz right?

Also, cold water swimming is by far the very best form of exercise you can take and has been found to also protect against alzheimer's.
