COVID Vaccine Thread, the Sequel

[Yardigan]

So, have you waited your turn? Did you stretch the eligibility? Does it piss you off when others just plow ahead with a lie? It may not matter much now with so many states opening to everyone (not NJ, of course).

Yes, no, no. The more people that get shots the better. Even if I'm not one of them getting the shot right away, theoretically, I'm getting safer when more people do...

 

[Fishy]

First shot today.....

I have amended my thoughts on it. They straight lied about the mild arm discomfort - I believe Moderna is just a mix of battery acid and Pop Rocks. And a microchip - my left arm pulls in FM radio now.

Right about the time the time you realize that your arm is going to fall off, the rest of you starts to feel like a pallet of bricks landed on you.

I believe I have been poisoned.

But the volunteers were really nice - ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review on Yelp. (Took off one star for the poison.)

I confess I’m at least slightly annoyed at anybody who lied or gamed the system. The new research shows that 75% of all people hospitalized were overweight. It becomes easy to see how a place like Japan avoided a high death rate despite not locking down. Yet that factor hasn’t been given enough consideration in vaccine priority. So a lot of people at risk are still waiting.

With so many variants of Covid does the vaccine protect against some or all?

I don't want it, for now, it seems like the virus is slowing down a bit.

All.

You don’t want the vaccine or you don’t want the virus?

Was listening to NPR today. They have found that between 40% and 50% of long haulers have seen their symptoms disappear after receiving the vaccine.

Immune system 'recognises virtually all types of Covid after vaccine'

A study by researchers in the US and Singapore found that white blood cells called T-cells, which are produced after a vaccine or natural infection, appeared to work across all variants.

So odd.....I got the same on Sunday and literally have had zero pain or discomfort

That seems to be the norm.

Understood. Opinions on vax priorities are like noses, though, everyone has one....and somebody's bound to be po'd.
Should there be stricter enforcement in making people 'prove' they meet criteria?

They’ve had a year to loose weight.

Finally got in line- Vax scheduled for Thursday morning - Moderna.

Like I said earlier everyone just needs to get the vax as fast as possible.

Mutations could render current Covid vaccines ineffective in a year or less, epidemiologists warn

I wonder what breakthroughs the scientific community has planned for us. Long the pharma etf.

It is? Where do you live? Because in most places in the country it's going the other way.

Cases of the virus are up about 10% over the past week from the previous week, to about 60,000 cases per day, with both hospitalizations and deaths ticking up as well, Walensky said. She warned that without immediate action the U.S. could follow European countries into another spike in cases and suffer needless deaths.

I’m laying in bed watching basketball and posting on the internet.

What more can I do? Run a marathon?

She also said that the data said that fully vaxxed people don't spread the virus in real world situations so... does this really matter at all? Needles in arms, only thing that matters.

I wa responding to B1GEast who said he didn't want the vaccine because the virus was slowing down a bit. So I asked him where he lives because around here it isn't.

3 hours past second Pfizer shot.

On a side note Carlson Center in Fairbanks is hockey arena for Alaska Fairbanks hockey team.

Facility looks like it is a phenomenal hockey arena. Two levels of seating and seats are steep. Seems like it would definitely get loud quickly.

 

[B1GEast]

All.

You don’t want the vaccine or you don’t want the virus?

Both

Got 2nd dose of moderna yesterday.

First dose-sore arm, fever, aches, chills, sleeplessness....though all that stuff besides the sore arm didn't start until 24 hours after.
Not as bad as the first time, if they don't get worse than not a big deal.

I had covid in January.

No, I thought MA and NY were initially way too strict, and it slowed down the process. Putting healthcare workers first and first responders second was not really very smart. Many are young and healthy, so declined and the vaccine sat unused. A straight age, exposure and comorbidity approach made more sense. An overweight 53 year old bus driver should be top priority. High risk of hospitalization, high risk of exposure.

I'm eligible Monday it seems. Will start playing the appointment roulette game.

That makes sense. From what I've read, the first dose has more adverse reactions if you had Covid. I received my first shot a few weeks ago and all I had was a sore arm for one day.
