The local appointments were taken, but I was able to get us in at a Walgreens Pharmacy about an hour away. Yesterday I had a slightly sore arm, a dull headache and felt a little funky. Today I feel fine. My wife just had a sore arm but it's still with her, and is apparently worse than mine was. The second dose is coming up the first week of April. I'm ready to get it done and over with. Got my first Pfizer shot today about 10 hours ago. So far, so good. Lee County sent me an Email a couple days ago and asked if I still needed my shot so I may be getting close. I hope it doesn't make me sick. I don't have time for that ****. These people would starve. I've had both Moderna shots. First one just gave me a bit of soreness in the upper arm at the vacc site. Second one made me a little drowsy for a day. Wife felt a bit nauseous for a day after second shot. It's been almost two weeks since my second shot. No lasting side effects. Still masking up when we go out, keeping away from other peeps, sanitizing our hands with the spray bottles we keep with us, and washing our hands when we get home. I visit the supermarket when needed between 7 and 8 am, when it is least crowded. We did visit a local Thai restaurant this past week; tables were at least 10' apart.If you are still acting like you did last year, why bother with theshot?===The shots are not infallible, about 95% effective for the Moderna andPfizer. That certainly improves your safety a great deal but we'renot totally out of the woods until some large percentage of thepopulation gets vaccinated. That's not going to happen until May/Juneat best. Until then it pays to take reasonable precautions.Using that logic, it will never be safe because a third of the countrymay never get vaccinated.How much are you going to give up to keep them safe?===67% would be a huge improvement from where we are now and wouldgreatly reduce the risk for people who *are* vaccinated. Of the 33%who aren't, some will eventually fall into line, and some willcontract Covid. Of those who contract Covid, some will acquireimmunity that way, and others will eliminate themselves from the genepool. I think that eventually "proof of vaccination" will become acommon requirement for many activities, just like proof of small poxvaccination was common 70 years ago.
The reason the shot hurts so much is they implanted a tiny
programmable chip with all your personal data and a GPS. Ahhh,
the miracles of modern medicine.
