I lost 32 pounds from an oral/mouth/throat surgery many years ago. I lost it in the course of about 3-4 weeks, due to the fact that I could not eat any solid food for that time.
Needless to say, I have found that medical\health events are great for weight loss. Now, only if the same could be said after one heals. 
I have had both initial Pfizer vaccine doses and a Pfizer booster. I was only "ill" for a couple of days for all 3 vaccine events, but nothing serious to report; no weight loss. Sucks that it hit you harder, it appears.

I had 2 AZ's in April and July, a Pfizer booster yesterday.
Negligible effects from the first two, feeling generally seedy today, and the injection site is sore if I move that arm.
My son has had 3 Pfizers and says the booster hit him way harder than the first two.
Cheers,
Peter

I feel left out - three Pfiezer shots, and all I had was a sore arm.

I'm not sure if that rates a "jammy bugger" or a "poor you" - since it doesn't show if your immune system is primed to "meet the invader" at all ... 
I'm hoping it's the former option!

Same here Richard, and my sore arm wasn't much to write home about

Mine gave me a Grand Mal Seizure. Of course I got the flu shot in the other arm at the same time. 
Live and learn.

I had no side effects from the COVID or Shingles vaccines. On the other hand, the old live attenuated virus Typhoid vaccine had me laid up for a week while I recovered from a mild case of Typhoid.

Have to wait 'til after Christmas to get my Borcestershire shots.

Meh.
I lose that sort of weight every time I check into hospital and sample their "wonderful" menu. My theory is that the hospital food is so bad to ensure that even the dumpster divers will want to check out ASAP.

Not so - possibly would have been considered a little to political for the Lounge with the US Senate invasion hearings still going on.

I did consider Watergate which is also too political

I thought of it earlier but put it on the back burner as there was a clue ( which you solved ) earlier in the month for mendacious

That's probably what gave me the idea!

... and referring to "mendacity" in the Christmas party season is fairly political in the UK at the moment!!!
Unless of course all those well documented parties never actually happened. Honest guv.

Enjoy! I know I will.

I'm hoping S2 is better than season one, which felt a bit "thin" - it could have used longer episodes to get more story in.
It was good - but I was expecting a bit more from the books really.
Won't stop me watching S2 (in my copious spare time, of course).
