Odysseus had to put up with quite a few things he would prefer to have avoided in order to get back to Ithaca.
So maybe having a Covid vaccination – however unwanted – is a small price to pay for, hopefully, being able to travel to that wonderful island again.
Nothing is definite of course... but it looks as if things are headed, particularly in Greece, towards the authorities wanting proof of vaccination before they let anyone in.
And as I have work to do in Ithaca in May/June – the gods permitting – now is the time to prepare the way.
But, like the wily Odysseus, I'm planning to ward off any unpleasantness... and stocking up on the homeopathic remedy made from the same vaccine that I'll be taking.
If you are knowledgable about homeopathy (or, strictly speaking in this case, isopathy), you will know that the remedy is taken not to negate the vaccination but in order to deal with any unwanted side effects.
And what could be more appropriate? Since the theory of homeopathy – the curing of like with like – dates all the way back to the ancient Greeks...
