Agree with everything Meagananne said. If you want to be convinced of the merits spend a week in a COVID ward and meet all the people there sucking on a tube and wishing they had been vaccinated. Its awful.
I got my vaccine and so did my husband and daughter
Very mild side effects
Though MOST in my area is refusing the vaccine and most reasonings seem to be misinformation from Facebook and loyalty to Trump and Republicans ??
Latest news from the CDC is that 80 % of the new cases of Covid are now the Delta varient which apparently came out of India . They are saying that the infection Rate is up 63% since July .
I have a friend who is a nurse , her brother and three co-worker's who were vaccinated have reinfected with the Delta varient . She says that where she works 3 of the ER staff that were vaccinated have now come down with the Delta varient .
Looks like my hesitancy to stop wearing a mask when I go into stores May have not been so stupid .
Get vaccinated. Plain and simple.
I got the Mederna vaccine, both shots. With the first shot l barely knew l'd had it. The second shot l got on a Friday morning and worked all day without feeling effects. That evening l developed a fever. The next day, Saturday, l was quite sick all day, feverish, exhausted, miserable. Saturday evening all sickness ended rather abruptly. And that was that.
I know that the desired response to the second Mederna shot is several hours of sickness. That shows you are building antibodies.
I plan on getting a booster as soon as it is available and l am eligible.
I just got my second of Pfizer. I had no issues at all with either shot.
I think that since us rich countries have so many vaccines and so few people willing to take them, lets give them to the rest of the world. We all made deals with pharma companies to ensure that our populace will be vaccinated, but how about we let the idiots whither in their trailer parks as they spend their last dollar on horse de-worming pills, when a vaccine is available and free.
India will probably need vaccines. Let's send them there. If you dislike brown people, well then let's send them to Australia.
This is a global pandemic, so let's stop wasting our resources on brainwashed cult members and send vaccines to other places that actually want them.
Had both vaccinations, minor issues but no problems, covid is a bigger problem.
Nope. Not until they can show information about long term effects and what it could do.
And until people can sue when shit goes wrong? Nope.
This is a great forum, I really enjoy reading all the topics.
