Nope! She took it because she's a teacher and her parents are in an assisted living facility

if you dont think Vaccines work, the total cases/day right now is the highest point again (like the 2nd peak), but if you look at the deaths theyre much lower than the 2nd peak.

So the Russian vaccine gives u covid. That’s why you study it

Got my 2nd Pfizer about a month ago, it whooped my ass the day after (severe chills, then a fever of 102) and left me with severe fatigue for a couple days, but no arm pain at all (which is what I had from the first one).

I'm wondering how the third dose is going to work, and how the annual booster will work. Flu "season", you get the shot early on and you're usually fine, but since COVID is year-round....will we see huge spikes again while groups wait to get the booster every year?

Couple of questions for the masses:

How many have gotten the vaccine here, family included (or plan to)?
The wife has gotten her first shot and gets her second shot Saturday. She has HBP and diabetes so she is at a higher risk is the reason she chose to get it. I have been blessed with great genes so far as my labs come out perfect every year. The only concern I have is that I have latent tuberculosis and if I get COVID (if I hadn't already had it without the symptoms) it could be become a shitshow for me. But as of right now I don't plan on getting it. My son has decided to trust his immune system as well.

What would you do if your kids college decided you have to be vaccinated before reentry to classes?
Right now there are multiple colleges/universities taking that path to get back to normal classroom settings. As of now, the Nebraska system of universities is not doing that. But if they did I assume that the knucklehead will still not get the vaccine and just focus on flying for the time being and go back and get his degree once things get back to normal. And I don't know how legal that could be since the vaccines are being rolled out under the Emergency Use Authorization rather than being fully FDA approved. I'm sure we will see this play out in the court systems over the next year.

Do you see this as the new normal? What does next year at this time look like? I think a lot of the hesitancy to get the vaccine is due to the EUA the vaccine is being rolled out under as well as the continuous mask mandates once you are fully vaccinated. I believe people that are not getting it now would be more apt to take the vaccine if they could go back to normal, even with the EUA. I'd actually consider taking the vaccine if we could go about our lives like we did pre-pandemic. But, with the constant restrictions, even for fully vaccinated personnel, there really is no reason to take the vaccine. At least that's the way I see it for now.

Wife has gotten both, I'm doing the 1 shot one tomorrow. Kids are 9, not getting it.

Get the vaccine, I wouldn't rearrange their entire college life over this, no chance.

No

You literally just said in the same post you have a medical condition that could be a "shit show" if you get COVID, but you can't think of any reason to take the vaccine?

I haven't seen anything regarding latent TB and COVID outside of "could activate the latent TB". Hell, the flu could activate latent TB. So no, that's not a reason for me to take the vaccine under an EUA rollout of the vaccine.

What continuous mask mandate? CDC has already dropped mandatory masks for vaccinated people outdoors unless you're in a setting with a huge number of people like a concert or parade. Both the CDC and states have been actively adjusting the rules on the necessities of masks as case numbers have decreased and vaccination numbers increased.

The idea that in a pandemic situation things can go back to "normal" instantly as soon as any individual gets their shots is a bit lazy. The only way we get back to normal is through mass vaccination. You decry the EUA usage, but the "normal" route would have taken maybe twice as long? Maybe three times? So then your get back to normal time is impacted to a much more extreme effect. You should be thanking everyone around you getting the vaccine to help things get back to normal because it was clearly not happening without it.

1) Even if you've been vaccinated, you can still get and carry the virus--it just won't kill you, but it means you can pass it off to someone else

2) The variants are more deadly than the original, and if those keep spreading, the vaccine could save lives of even "healthy" people (who have also died, let's not forget)

3) I'm thinking it's going to require boosters for at least a few years, to help with said variants

4) The more people decide not to vaccinate, the more hosts the virus can spread to and stay alive/mutate. We need 65-70% vaccinated to get close to herd immunity and snuff it out

My biggest concern is the folks getting one shot of Moderna/Pfizer, and not going back for the second.

i was reading last night that with the new variants, America needs 80% vax'd for herd immunity.

Got my appointment at 3pm today

Which still may not work in some simulations.

Finalllyyyyy booked for a needle. May 22 and Sept 11th

Figured most of you would have been vaccinated well before me.

been vacinated since Easter, and my wife told her entire family, if you are not vaccinated, you are not welcome to her house. She has a big family and they are close, so i was happy to hear her say that, and that means less people at my house( win win for me)

people just need to be smart wear masks in crowded places. i am all for masks if it brings people back to work. personally , i am kindcof use to it now wearing a mask.

when i leave house, keys ,phone ,wallet and mask

I got vaccinated. Supporting Schools, they want you to be if you have to go into a school.
My wife got vaccinated, working at the post office.
Our kids are 7 and 4, no vaccinations for them.

we don't have a problem down here in the south of businesses not being open. It's pretty much a free for all down here. Those same businesses are actually extra short staffed and cant find people wanting work with all the money the government is throwing at them ( thats what I was told at least)

To the point that restaurants are modifying their menus
