Untoward side effect of vaccines to a fellow senior

A close bike mate related his story about AZ vaccine and he said he got chills, fever, shortness of breath and other side effect usually expected from vaccine.

That is why I told him I am hesitating to have vaccines.   Vaccines as we all know, work by provoking the body prepare antibodies vs virus.  The old method was to inject inert inactive or dead virus;  the new method is via MRNA, ie producing parts of the virus, in this case the spike of the corona to induce body to produce soldiers to combat the real virus when it infects the body.   

In his case, he being a senior like me 70 y.o, it is natural for me him to get side effect.  Furthermore he has co morbidities -  high BS, prostrate, and other complaints.

Fellow senior, would you like to be vaccinated?

I met this morning at Wawa, SNY (Sonny Sulit) close friend of my brod VM with 2 of his current bike friends.  They were on MTB.  He was a former RBiker and is resuming physical fitness.  He said he just goes around Angono:   at subdivision and mountain destinations:   Mahabang Parang, DOMSA, Botong Francisco and Eastridge.

I suppose he is now Senior too and its nice to know that he is into biking and physical fitness

The success and high consumption of expensive coffee in the likes of Coffee Bean, Coffee Project, Starbucks and the pandemic has encouraged (together with Milk Tea) the growth and proliferation of coffee shops at biking sites:

1.  Cafe in the Sky at Botong Francisco
2..  Coffee shop at Unamonte going to East Ridge
3.   Coffee shop at Antenna (midway)
4.  Coffee shop at Quarry Road
5.  Coffee shop at Mahabang Parang
6.  Coffee  shop in Tagpos

Many entrepreneurs.  Many agile individuals - matching the huge number of cyclists these days
