Interesting is that new data they released?  I thought they did well except with the South Africa variant it was poor.

Moderna and Pfe are adjusting their shots as well or adding a booster. About to get my first dose.

[smbauerllc]

I have had both injections now and no issues other than a sore arm for a couple days both times, and did feel like I had a mild flu for a couple days after the second injection,  but apparently that's common and it was pretty mild. 

Definitely worth it to not have to worry about getting covid imho.

I live in an assisted living facility for veterans and 45 of 75 residents got covid in December. Most here are over 65 and have chronic medical problems,  myself included. We had 2 deaths from covid. Its a miracle that there wasn't many more. 

We got the moderna vaccine starting in early January and the second dose in early February. 

I have severe asthma and copd so getting covid would be pretty dangerous for me,  since even the common cold will set off my asthma and put me in the hospital,  so the vaccine is a no brainer. 

We only had 6 people refuse the vaccine

good to see the progress everyone is making to get to the light at the end of the tunnel.

I am curious to see the long term side affects of this vaccine

I'm also curious to see the long term side affects of the disease.

I hope you don't need ICU or any kind of medical help ever since most likely you would get many kinds of foreign substances in your body. God bless you.

He edited that post. Or management did.

many of the foods you eat on a daily basis are foreign substances created in a lab. 

and by living in a free country you have to abide by the rules put in place. Can't drive through a red light. Can't get hammered and get behind the wheel. Can't bring your own food into a sporting event. Can't bring your own beer to drink in a bar. Can't shoot animals that aren't in season. Can't piss wherever you please. 

But these are circular arguments that don't generate much direction. 

I understand that red light stuff. All i am saying is the govt doesnt tell me to get a shot and so on.  I am a private citizen and know my rights/constitution  I dont eat those types of foods. You are free to eat that if you want. I grow all my own vegetables (organic) in a greenhouse and get my meats from my uncle who doesnt mess with the animals. He also gets top dollar for his meat for a reason. I know whats in my food For me the less ingredients the better. Just the way i roll

If i go to the icu then thats one thing. When it is in my control i try to stay far away from all that stuff. For instance, if i have pain i dont take ibuprofen i take turmeric instead. Thats all. Im free to do that

Do you fish for those rainbow trout out of season? You are governed by a set of rules. 

I know you get it, and understand. These are circular arguments.

Obviously you dont get my point. You should check out Jordan Peterson.  He is an amazing Canadian. Pretty smart guy?

I’m just hoping one of them is a lack of COVID transmission.  To or from me.  

[Viva Vegas]

I made my appointment today to get the vaccine on Monday in Las Vegas. Not sure if it's the moderna or the Pfizer but either one will work just fine.

[JohnInCleveland]

One of the effects of the vaccine seems to be decreased likelihood of dying from covid.  
 

having been hit by a 10 ton COVID truck, I’ll get the shot the second they let me.

A few parts have fallen off since the jab Saturday morning, and there’s a black van following me around all the time now, but other than that...all good! ? Seriously, tender arm for that evening, and that’s all she wrote. I have volunteered to be followed for any adverse reactions, as I have Multiple Sclerosis and I’m on some immune system modifying meds. Someone has to be a guinea pig! ? Oink!

Dad got his 2nd shot yesterday, spent the whole day with him today to see how he was doing.  24 hour in no side effect, even had energy to play with the grand kids.  So far praying that is the end of it.

Now I need to find a way to get my mom who is 64.5 year old:

I'm glad I stayed home from the annual business meeting. My wife works in hospice so I was given the option so I opted to stay home. Just got word a guy that was there, young guy in his 20's who previoulsy had COVID, tested poitive for COVID again. Office from his area is currently freaking out trying to figure out who was near him the previous few days around the office. Female coworker that works in my are is pissed  because she knows everyone in the state was exposed to him last Thursday and Friday. Oh well, glad I'm laying low until my second round of vaccine this weekend. Probably still lay low for a few weeks after to let it kick in and do it's thing. 

[Hammer Smokin']

interesting....

I wonder if the original "previous covid" wasn't actually covid, and was a mis-diagnosis? 

Amazing that the USA has offices open during these times. Our office doors have been closed since March 2020.

I live in South Dakota. We've gone to primarily working at home for those that can but it's been business as usual since day 1. Had a huge tourism year and now we are starting to see a boom as we have alot of people fleeing the cities and lockdown states to come here.

Lots of false positives.  I had a false positive.  Then got Covid 2 months later.  With my false positive I had no symptoms, I did an antibody test 3 weeks later and I had none.  When I got Covid for real I had symptoms.  So technically I tested positive twice, but one wasn’t real.

[Fosgate]

Just got word, 3 guys that rode out here with the infected also tested positive. So now were down to nearly half staff. Making me more glad I stayed home every moment. Pretty sure they are regretting not cancelling the meeting and awards banquet this year instead of making it optional.

They should have made it a requirement for a negative Covid test to attend. At least then you can lessen the chance of spreading it around. Considering the spike in cases over the November-January period, you'd think your company would have had the sense to take more precautions or make the event virtual.

Good idea to lay low even after your second shot. Most advice state it takes 2 weeks after your second shot before the vaccine reaches peak effectiveness.
