Corona virus, the non-asshole thread

My second shot had me feeling bad for half a day, but it wasn't too bad. A sore arm and a lot of tiredness was about the extent of it.

 
I had site soreness for #1, and same for #2 along with a headache but that was it. Wife was out for 1.5 days with #2 though. Oh and my 13 yo daughter same as the wife. She was out for a day.

well it is obvious that my wife got the real thing in our booster trial...she had sore arm last night as well as this morning and is a little lethargic (but won't keep her down lol)...when she was getting the shot the nurse asked her what I had said and she told the nurse that I was guessing I got the placebo and the nurse all but confirmed it....my wife went 2/2 on these trials and I went 0/2...the odds of this occurring were 1/16...that is my luck in a nutshell!  Oh well I guess $250 to be injected with saline isn't too bad at the end of the day

I woulda done it for free!

 
no doubt...me as well lol...they give you a visa check card and they load it up every visit and every week...I have one from the vaccine trial that I have yet to spend lol
No lol jab ya in the arm with some saline lol. 

That's cool though.

 
Agreed. It's going to tear through the unvaccinated like a harvester through a wheat field, I'm afraid.
Yep - sucks for us with kids under 12. Me my wife and daughter have all been vaxxed since early June. But with this new wafe and a 10 year old, we still feel like we can't do anything, especially with this delta wave coming up.

People refusing to get vaxxed affects a lot more people then just themselves. 

 
The anti-vaxers joined forces with the Q-crazies down here and this is what we got. A couple of my local hospitals have had to set up ER tents. Regular rooms are booked up.  Some said that they had beds but no longer had the staff to use them.  It is amazing just how closely we are following the same timeline and making the same mistakes as the 1918-1920 "Spanish" flu pandemic.  

 
The base I work at is taking it seriously this time. One of our Gunnys went in to sick hall with a cold and walked out with a 10 day quarantine.

The same and more. There was no vaccine for the spanish flu. Had there been a vaccine, would 40% of the population have refused to take it?

 
We are back at level of cases we had in late October at the start of the winter surge. And it looks to be a steeper curve. This is not looking good.

Agreed. We are in the 4th wave. And the frustrating one is that this one was 100% preventable. 

Godspeed to you and all the healthcare workers 
your view is national as opposed to worldly...it was not preventable by any stretch of the imagination when you look at the number of people in the world who are unvaccinated and continue to have little to no access...as soon as international travel (by plane, car, foot) resumed it was bound to appear in the US....at this point if you are unvaccinated you should be limited to available beds at hospitals as opposed to taking away beds from other services for COVID patients...the fact that we had a vaccine in less than 12 months gave us a fighting chance and luckily you and your family have done the responsible thing and from what I have been told pfizer is in late stages of clinical trials for those under 12
