Thursday, June 30: DM Clinical 4 RSV-Vaccine Study


Today was one of those days where I was restless and a little hungry so I got up around 5:30 AM and decided to eat a big bunch of raisin 

bran to get myself tired so I can take a heavy duty nap and feel better. I did that. I even made coffee but didn’t drink it which was a 

good thing because I think they’re going to do a blood test in. Hopefully the coffee will still taste OK when 

I come back home. I’m not sure how long I’ll be here but I pretty much figured I’d be here for most of the day. Anyhow, I 

took my nap, got my laundry out of the dryer, took out the trash, and packed up my bag for yoga minus the water in case I don’t 

go to Yoga I won’t be carrying a big jug of water. I’ll just have to buy water at the studio 

and put in my electrolyte stuff. Anyhow I got here and there’s a 33 page 

consent form. Your studies over. Two years. I have to fill out an app, and I’ll be getting periodic phone calls. There won’t be that many in person visits. I took
 pictures  of the highlights of it. It’s just a really reimbursed 

but not all that much. It’s for RSV. It’s a respiratory virus that affects young kids 

and old people over 60. Guess which group  I am in ???  Anyhow it’s now  

10:06 AM. So far they took my vital signs at me answering a cognitive test which

 I passed. One of the exercises was creating a clock inside 

the circle and putting 10 after 11 on it. I passed! I thought I was gonna take the same test as Trump did in 2020! 
 You remember:  man, camera, woman, TV ha ha. The next 
step is the blood test to find out my antibodies and then I’m gonna get the vaccine or the placebo. The 

phlebotomist, Who is really tatted up, give me the blood test and then I was offered lunch on DoorDash so I went for the chipotle and a Diet Coke. It’s now 10:57 AM. I 

guess it’s the shot or placebo and then I sit and wait to see if they have any initial effects. Play next week every day I have to measure my arm for any irritation and take my temperature and reported on the app then after
 that it’s every week. Mean boil in the world outside this lab,  President Biden for the first time stated he  wanted to remove the filebuster for abortion rights and privacy.  This is not going to  happen but at 

least he’s making noise. He supposed to be making other announcements blue will see. He needs to do something 

otherwise the Democrats will not come out and vote in the midterms again.In another  crappy ruling, the Supreme Court 

said that the EPA is limited in regulating  greenhouse emissions. basically it

 kneecaps the government from protecting us from climate change. Back to 

the lab it’s 1124 and I just got my injection of either the vaccine or the placebo. 

Now I’m to sit in a room with all ask me how I’m feeling. Well I got one 

person‘s opinion on of what I just did. I was even sent a link to a research study about vaccine studies. Anyhow it’s 

12:37 PM I just finished my chipotle lunch which really hit thespot. I got on the phone for a while and talked for a while and got 

some feedback from about me doing the study. I eventually finished got my payment card and 300 bucks . It was well worth it but the reporting every 
week for two years to your god that’s great tough one specially if I ever go overseas and shit. Anyway came home had a drink and a 
banana and chilled out for a moment. I took out my laundry and got water for my yoga class. They let me out early enough to give me time to rest before going to yoga. I dropped off my Madonna Shwagg as souvenirs for the study.  I left for my yogurt class and got there in time and Justin was teaching and I mentioned he looked

 like Frank Zappa and the guy who plays Borat. It was chuckles all around. I felt stronger than it did yesterday but the room was pretty damn hot. The only reason it wasn’t hot or is because

 there was only about eight people in our class. It was a good class it was a 75 minute class. Course I took my sweet time getting

 called off before I ran off to catch the 33 bus to Fairmount. I didn’t think I had time to go to 17th to get my cheap iced coffee so once I get off the 33 I decided to go to Ryebread and get the regular priced coffee. I we need to the meeting on time. That meaning was not well attendant but it was a decent meeting. After that one, I went to get circle snacks for the coda meeting that was taking place at the clubhouse right afterwards. That meeting was pretty good but then they had a business meeting and I should’ve left at 9:30 PM but I stayed till 1045 and they still weren’t going to finish I was no I had to leave I told him I had him get the heck out of Dodge. I have to do my daily daily data entry for this survey I’m in and talk on the phone and explain myself. I didn’t have a 9 o’clock appointment with the financial advisor and at the rate that suck markets going  I’m gonna lose 20% of my money by next year I don’t know I think I should get a little more help than that but I’m not in a good mood right now it’s 954 I should’ve been home by now
