For you old beezin's out there, keep an eye out for info coming out of this test/experiment.

In West Virginia anyone over age 60 who has been fully vaccinated for at least 6 months can get their blood drawn for free to see where their antibody count is at. Should be one of the larger sampling sizes seeing how long the vaccinations provide robust protection or start to wane over time.

WV offers first statewide antibody testing for fully vaccinated (nypost.com)

I'm thinking about doing this.

You mean kind of how we all are because irresponsible, selfish and ENTITLED people are keeping the pandemic going? I got ya.

I am seeing a scary display of the power of this virus right next door. My neighbors are in their mid thirties. He is a financial planner, she is an engineer. They are smart, pleasant people. She got covid 3 months ago and is now in a wheel chair with issues breathing and chronic pain. He avoided infection when she had it by having her quarantine to one side of the house. She stayed in the master suite alone for over a week.

He went on a business trip to meet an out of town client about two weeks ago. He got sick and tested positive so he stayed in a hotel. He got too sick to cope and went to the ER. He is now in intensive care on a ventilator 2000 miles away. They have four little kids and they have a visiting nurse at their house all day. Again, they are in their 30's and very active.

@Hoophound you do not indicate if they were vaccinated or not or in the process or you may not know, it appears that they were not. This is a case in point where you have a growing family and you are rolling the dice per say. Now it it will be a struggle for them going forward. Please just get vaccinated and be done with it. Very very sad to hear, just don't get it.

She was not vaccinated when she got sick originally. She appears to be a terrible long hauler. He went and got vaccinated after she got COVID. So he’s been fully vaccinated for 3+months. Scary that he’s so sick.

You ever get an idea of their rationale for presumably avoiding the vaccine? I swear so many millennials are too smart for their own good (we are pretty anxious as a generation and that surely doesn’t help). My girlfriend’s best friend studied microbiology at ASU but now is basically a software engineer. Just got sick for like a week.

To add an anecdote, I work in a major hospital in a major city and we are seeing the young ones coming a lot more than before. I just had a 30 year old patient who was completely asymptomatic until she had a stroke.

Have a friend in Brooklyn who was very sick with the initial outbreak and before any vaccines and he made it through after about 3 months in the hospital ER with no lingering effects so far. Hoping your neighbors make it through for their and family sake.

I really wish I could share this viewpoint. Natural selection at is finest. However, there a re a few major holes. Kids can't get vaccinated yet. Anti-vaxxers won't mask either. If we don't get this pandemic under control as a herd, a more threatening variant will emerge.

In addition, no one mentions the impact on healthcare professionals that have to treat the unvaccinated. Do we just say live free and let die or do we treat them to attempt to save them. Very ethical question that probably crosses to many lines. The healthcare professionals went through hell last surge why do we have to put them through it again. Get vaccinated

It’s too late. Delta has passed its event horizon and will take a lap around the country. We in the hospitals are already reserved to that reality, and just hope we get vaccinated enough to avoid the next strain (they’ve already identified a lambda variant that may be vaccine resistant). And that ethical question will never be a serious one.

I'm Baptist, my church has always been strongly encouraging everyone to go get vaccinated. For the life of me I will never understand the different Christian sects that do not believe in modern medicine. They give us a bad name when we get lumped in with them and their stupidity.

And I would probably guess that a majority of my church is rather conservative too, myself included. Modern science saves lives.

I know several months ago there were some articles suggesting getting one Pfizer and one Moderna for your initial set was worth looking in to when the shots were first becoming available. A risk mitigation or cost averaging type concept.

Absolutely shocking to read this, because we have seen these types of stories on tv but these are your neighbors and it’s not elsewhere. Why the hell didn’t they get the vaccine?

Although rare, it’s happening to the vaccinated too. My friend here in Stamford moved to northern NJ last year and was having his house renovated there, so he decamped with his family to his sister in law’s house in Tampa for the summer. Somehow, he contracted covid down there and ended up in the hospital for six days with pneumonia. Double vaxxed, healthy 43 year-old. Now he’s recovering at his in-laws’ place in the White Mountains, and he tells me he now feels like he is “living inside an 80 year old body”. Scary. I told him I would have picked summer in NH over Tampa 100 out of 100 times.

This. Have a friend who is a doctor in a major hospital down in Florida. Went from ~40 COVID patients to 220 in the matter of a week (this was a few weeks back). Beds completely full at this point, 100% of hospitalized patients are unvaccinated and far more in the 20-40 range than previous waves. We're all focused on hard core anti-COVID vaccine folks and they're certainly a problem, but her experience was that this was more apathetic younger people that just didn't think it was a big issue and didn't get around to getting the vaccine while still going out to bars and gathering in groups socially.

You nailed it. The vaccine stats for the 20-30 and 30-40 year old demographics are dismal, regardless of politics, race, religion or other variables. Whether is is apathy or that sense of invincibility that is part of being young, the original COVID did not scare people in these age groups. Delta is different and these age groups and sadly younger children are feeling the impacts.

That was one silver lining of my Moderna shots: with side effects that crummy, you know your body is building antibodies!

I’m also happy as of now that I ended up with Moderna. That was back in January-February now so we will see how long it stays effective.
 
Has anyone on this board gotten a Booster shot yet ???

I don’t really want to debate the morals of getting one, but am interested if anyone else, who like me got their first and second shots back in late January have gone ahead and gotten a booster based on the “unofficial” data that seems to show some loss of efficacy after six plus months.

I have two kids under 12 who are non vaccinated yet (fingers crossed soon I hope) so really am trying to protect them.

And yeah, I got the third one two weeks ago.

Got those same side effects with Pfizer. My titers for all the other vaccines I've ever recieved (MMR, HepB, HepA) as well as chicken pox, which I had as a kid are right at the upper limit of normal, hoping my immune system reacted the same way with this vaccine.
