Yeah, sounds fine to me. Immune system working as intended. I've been bedridden many times in my life, for weeks on occasion, still alive. Never been vaccinated. Every time society goes apeshit over "swine flu" this, "avian flu" that, I get a fever and sweat it out. I expect the pattern to repeat with "bat flu" now.

Salmonella was awful though.

If organ failure, blindness and not feeling 100% for months is you're thing, have at it.

The problem with "the immune system doing its thing" is that against some pathogens it doesn't do a thing at all.

I don't give a shit if you don't want to get vaccinated but you're obviously trying to downplay my very real, very painful and very avoidable issue to support your stance.

Yeah, sorry, I don't think being ill for a bit warrants such dramatic recount. You are absolutely fine. You suffered very little in the grand scheme of things. Stop ballooning it out of proportion. If this is the worst you'll endure, 90% of humanity would swap places with you in an instant.
Maybe you just think you're being cavalier, but honestly, you're just insulting. Worse, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

You don't know me. You don't know my condition, and have demonstrated a pretty tenuous grasp on human pathology in general.

Adios, hope you never get this.

Eh, I was going to apologize, but to be honest I enjoyed bickering with you pointlessly. Hope you don't take it too personally :)
