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 the shot? === The shots are not infallible, about 95% effective for the Moderna and Pfizer. That certainly improves your safety a great deal but we're not totally out of the woods until some large percentage of the population gets vaccinated. That's not going to happen until May/June at best. Until then it pays to take reasonable precautions. Using that logic, it will never be safe because a third of the country may 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 would greatly reduce the risk for people who *are* vaccinated. Of the 33% who aren't, some will eventually fall into line, and some will contract Covid. Of those who contract Covid, some will acquire immunity that way, and others will eliminate themselves from the gene pool. I think that eventually "proof of vaccination" will become a common requirement for many activities, just like proof of small pox vaccination was common 70 years ago. Fretwell's naive libertarianism is creeping out. I agree that proof of vaccination should be a requirement. This is strange from a guy who thinks proof of citizenship shouldn't be necessary to vote. It is harder to check out a library book than it is to vote. BTW it is going to be your liberal friends at the ACLU that fights a Covid ID law. Blacks and Latinos are some of the strongest opponents to this vaccine. They keep pointing out Tuskegee. This is not a Tuskegee offense. We want everyone vaccinated. Even libertarians. You are not trying to convince me. I am just repeating things I hear people of color say on TV. I would get the shot if they made it easy. I knew this was going to be a cluster****. We trusted the government to do it. The "government" did a fine job for me. It announced an internet and phone sign up system, I logged on, got an appointment, got vaccinated. I assume as soon as the shots are in plentiful supply and don't need special refrigeration (the next generation for all of them), it'll be a walk-in to your local pharmacy, as it is for many other vaccinations. Don't want to get vaccinated? Stay the **** home... What about those poor folks for whom getting an ID to vote is far too onerous. Should they just 'stay the **** home'?
