Covid Vaccine

[Vagus]

GD herpes, tho. Wear. Ur. MASK!

I understood the initial idea of the lockdown. It was based on older disease control practices and something everyone could kinda write off (to whom, we'll see ...). But then the thing with the half-assed masks. It was unreal. I think that was Trump's biggest failure. He coulda driven N95 production, flooded the market with American made efficacy, but he ignored it. The democrats certainly didn't want to see it, they wanted low filtering pantyhose.

Now we're hearing, "Just wear two masks." It make me laugh. I haven't seen a single person who'd pass the doorcheck for a level 3 biopathogen lab, which is where COVID is researched. Shoot, most people wouldn't pass the door check at the mensroom exit.

2nd shot kicked my ass.

Hudson-Samuels’ husband found her dead in her home. She had received the COVID-19 vaccine only one day earlier, but no official cause of death has been given

"We suspect it may have just been a stroke but because of the normal side effects of the vaccine it may have masked that," said Cliff Samuels, her husband. "Hopefully we’ll know soon from the autopsy report."

Awesome progress for elderly in Connecticut!!

Some groups of people, though, have high enough rates of vaccination that the benefits are starting to show. Connecticut was one of the first states to finish vaccinations in long-term care facilities and nursing homes. All residents who wanted a vaccine got their first dose by January 8th, and most were fully vaccinated by the end of January.

The impact was dramatic. At the end of 2020, around 400 nursing home residents in Connecticut were testing positive each week, and around 100 were dying. In the week ending February 2nd, when most were fully vaccinated, there were 101 cases and 35 deaths — down nearly 80 percent from the month before.

New Covid relief bill has money to convince people to get the shots!

There’s also $1 billion dollars earmarked for “vaccines confidence activities” — public relations to convince Americans skeptical of getting the jab.

That sounds like a waste...
Everyone I know is scrambling to get the vaccine and so far, are unable.
I'm able since my industry is 'food and agriculture' but can't find anyone with vaccines to give out.

I'm 1B under essential manufacturing. Give mine to an at-risk old person. Wife works in dental and feelz the same.

Perhaps I'll consent one day with enough testing.

However I might be missing out on a Civil Action Pay Day. 5-10 years from now Orudis' Ambulance Chasers could be flooding the airways with "If you or a loved one suffered the effects of Coof Vac you could be entitled to a substantial reward."

My in-laws got Round 1 Vac simply by going up to the convention center where they were handing out Vacs at the end of the day and got some that were about to be thrown out because nobody claimed them in time.

Might be worth a "shot" to try that.

Our county has an 'on call' list where if they have no-shows for appointments, they'll start calling that list. Being 64 and retired, I don't hit any of the first groups, so I've got my name in there. Although, I suspect they look for the most vulnerable there too, which I understand.

I'm in no rush to get the vaccine because I have food allergies that I have to carry an Epipen for.  Sometimes, I experience mild anaphylaxis where my throat starts to swell.  I have read that with mRna vaccines that people with food allergy issues have had some bad experiences.  Things that required epinephrine injections, intubation, and even hospitalization.  I have never had a flu shot for this reason.  So I'm afraid to get the injection.  My thought are I will let everybody else get the shot, wait and see how the Johnson and Johnson shot roll out goes.  I will probably only get the shot if it is required for travelling purposes.  Having your throat swell isna VERY SCARY situation, I've never had epinephrine injection before, but I've heard it makes your heart race.  With high blood pressure that scares me too.  As a 52 year old who has never got a flu shot, and done okay in that regard I feel this should be treated with the same approach.

Pfizer or Moderna. I was skeptical, but I can say with full confidence that those two mRNA vaccines are safe (well, as long as you don't have the rare complication of an acute allergic reaction). They are also effective. This is premium tech, guys. The promise of flying cars. The Johnson and Johnson vaccine is less known to me and a trickier thing to deal with since it uses a viral vector. The mRNA tech dips into a cell's outer layer, gets processed to make a protein, and then completely disappears. The protein gets ejected and the immune system does its thing as it would with any vaccine antigen.

Get jabbed, get in on it. Shieldwall.
