Success! First Pfizer dose. 5 min line wait + obligatory 15 minute reaction wait. Seriously, I felt literally nothing except the pressure of the post sanitizing wipe. 30 minutes later, still nothing. Good luck everybody!
Arm was sore this morning. I tried talking myself into not feeling that good, but I still did my Sunday morning laundry (I know, why, I'm retired), and did my walk around the lake. It was too beautiful of a day to waste. I feel just fine. We will get through this! Killing time watching golf before not seeing the Seahawks at the super bowl.
 
Sounds like an allusion to some sort of bullshit conspiracy theory

Indeed.


And guess who's giving it oxygen? Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Ben Shapiro. Which should give you a pretty good idea of who or where he's getting this from.

Seems their single sole purpose on this earth is just to destabilize any situation. You'd think they were working for Putin, or Xi.

Nah, for the most part they're just peddling nonsense for cash prizes (called "ratings.") No different than producing fiction as entertainment, with the key difference that they forget to mention that it's fiction.

The thing is, the even though Lou Dobbs had their highest rating show, it was a money loser, because the good big paying advertisers wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole because of the insane shit he spewed on a regular basis. So all they get are pillow and gold sellers who don't pay that good. So Fox finally had a way of letting ole Lou go. See I force myself to watch Fox, if you flip between CNN, MSNBC, and Fox, you will see that they have about 50% more ads. It's not because everyone wants to advertise their products on Fox, its because they don't get the same top shelf advertisers that the other networks get.

Point of clarification: Lou Dobbs had the highest ratings of any commentator on Fox Business. Tucker Carlson has 10x the viewers of Lou Dobbs (~300,000 v. ~3,000,000). That is one reason they were able to cut Dobbs loose because of their inability to control his excesses which were causing them to lose advertisers and subjecting them to liability. He didn't really have that many viewers to begin with. If it had been Carlson who got them sued, he would not have been cut loose.

OK. I was really surprised about that stat. Now it makes much more sense.
 
Second Moderna dose earlier this week, more sore, more tired in general but otherwise ok. Other folks got hit harder on second dose, but apparently that's a good sign for immune activation.
 
Well this isn't good.


Also from that article: The newspaper said none of the more than 2,000 trial participants had been hospitalised or died.

2k people, not one person seriously ill? "Less effective" seems like an odd headline.

I think because of the "predominantly young healthy adults" thing. Hopefully this pans out to be unfounded.
 
There were 19 cases of covid-19 caused by the variant among people who received the vaccine and 20 cases among people who got a placebo. That suggests that the vaccine was 10% effective, but the difference could have been due to chance.

Oh, there it is. One person didn't get sick among those tested. Big yikes.
Would all vaccine variants have equal uselessness at this point?

Then again... if none of the 2,000 from the other test needed to be hospitalized.... perhaps it is either somewhat effective in reducing severity, or the new strain is less severe?

The placebo group showed as much protection.. are you missing that? It is a small sampling but not a good sign. A vaccine resistant mutation is the biggest thing to worry about. This is by no means time to start worrying but something to follow for sure.

WTF is your point or are you just being an ass?

WTF are you going on about?

I'll go first by restating my post: SA has stopped the vaccine, because the COVID mutation is bypassing it and making almost everyone sick. But maybe the vaccine still has a use in reducing severity of illness.

Do tell, what is your problem?

"Big yikes "


it is a legitimate story to keep an eye on and you flippantly dismissed it?
 
I don't quality yet but I got my mother signed up in NJ




Unfortunately it seems the older folks who need it most are not always technically astute and it’s up to the children and grandchildren to navigate the technical hurdles to schedule vaccine appointments. I signed up my 92yo MIL today in Florida. She has a computer and does email and has some Google foo but this was more than she could handle.

Good for you and sadly this does seem to be the case. Anyone know if medicare is helping coordinate vaccines for seniors? I'm guessing many without family to assist might need outside help to navigate websites and email.

I got my Moderna #1 four days ago. I have seen in multiple places that efficacy for Moderna first shot after 14 days is 92%, however. I'm thinking that in 10 days I can feel decent confidence in semi-risk environments (masked and social distanced, of course).
 
Well, dang. Ain't no lie, I just dropped 600 mgs of Ibuprofen. My arm is sore! Been a little over 26 hours.
The soreness from my Moderna Shot# was going away after 2 days, after 3 days practically no soreness. I figure soreness good, means the vaccine was doing its thing.

The big thing is that even though YOU might not be at risk, you may still be a transmission vector for others who aren't vaccinated. So don't throw your mask away just because your vaccination is fully effective (or as effective as it's going to be)

Yeah, I realize this. Seems they they don't have data on this. Must be hard to investigate. In any case, I am safer not being exposed, or if less exposed, and of course, it's the socially responsible thing to do to wear a mask and SD after being vaccinated, since it's for sure helping quell the pandemic if for no other reason than to send a message to your fellow humans that the protocols are good for everybody. Herd immunity ASAP!
