  It is known that any vaccine can prevent people from becoming ill from COVID-19. It doesn't contain any live virus, and it can't give you COVID-19. It contains the genetic code for an important part of the SARS-CoV-2 virus called the spike protein. After getting the vaccine, your body makes copies of the spike protein, and your immune system will learn to recognise and fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is important that you receive two doses of your COVID-19 vaccine at least three weeks apart. Full protection against COVID-19 will not occur until about a week after your second dose. What to do before vaccination? Limit intake of alcohol the night before to prepare for your vaccine. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to dehydration and a hangover. Do not place yourself in a position to be fighting a hangover and possible side effects from the second shot. Drink water, not alcohol, before getting a vaccine. Drinking water every day is important for your health. Dri

Bathing with cold water is the answer, as the level of uric acid decreases after taking a cold shower, and the level of the antioxidant called glutathione may rise. Cold

  Most Americans do share a moral commitment to Israel’s survival as a Jewish state, but this would not account for the level of financial, military, and diplomatic support provided. American aid to Israel goes well beyond protecting Israel’s security needs within its internationally recognized borders. U.S. assistance includes support for policies in militarily occupied territories that often violate well-established legal and ethical standards of international behavior. The close relationship between the U.S. and Israel has been one of the most salient features in U.S. foreign policy for nearly three and a half decades. The well over $3 billion in military and economic aid sent annually to Israel by Washington is rarely questioned in Congress, even by liberals who normally challenge U.S. aid to governments that engage in widespread violations of human rights or by conservatives who usually oppose foreign aid in general. All Western countries share the United States’ strong su
