Covid vaccine

[Jagr]

Got second dose of Pfizer two weeks ago. No side effects after either, except for a sore arm after the first. Was pretty worried I'd get wrecked after the second, but hydrated like an absolute mf and was completely fine.

Why is this so fucking hard for people to wrap their heads around?

Because antivaxxers are dumb and selfish. A pretty shitty combination.

Same experience here with both doses of Pfizer.

How will they tell if people are vaccinated or not?

[TheLurper]

Booked an appointment... but I plan on moving in-between the first and second shot... not sure how that shit is going to work.

[Urtripping]

Cannot wait for kids to get the vaccine. Schools in my state have taken a lax stance on enforcing safety precautions and my boss has said, "Kids just aren't getting covid." Yes, they are... they're just not as symptomatic as often and are absolutely agents of viral spread. Beyond baffling to think that children cannot spread a highly contagious airborne virus... Like we would be harvesting the little mutants' blood if that were true.

I feel like people aren't taking their 5-10 year olds to go get tested, especially not in my community. I work at a school and have had one child in my class recieve a covid test (negative, thank god). I don't have the numbers on negativity rates or test administration for elementary age children, but if my little slice of life is representative of the state at all, then we cannot reasonably say that "kids can't get covid." Disappointed in my leadership, to say the least.

In (on?) line now for first dose of Pfizer at Lumen Field.

They can’t tell, and people are going to be so, so shitty about it too, especially to service industry folks. It’s alright, we’ll be back to masking, color tiers, and death by fall because of all the free thinking people like coneklr. So brave.

[Hevonen]

Got my first shot today, fell asleep for 4 hours after but also ate a pretty gnarly pizza so that could've been just that. No other side effects so far!

[mushroom slice]

I got my second Pfizer shot last weekend.  I will continue to wear a mask because I like it. I feel like a ninja. Masks are cool and I’m ugly so it’s all good.

[ihatejulio]

Got my first Moderna shot today. Went on a 5-mile skate afterward. Those 5g nanobots sure did the trick.

[Coastal Fever]

They finally opened to 30+ today where I live, getting Pfizer next Tuesday after work.  Getting hyyyped.

The irony of these two idiots endorsing vaccines after making a living deceiving people is priceless. Actually that's a poor analogy.. I bet their service did have a price tag, and it was probably fairly low seeing that the have been irrelevant for quite a while. Why take the time to do research of something pertaining to your personal health and well-being when washed up "magicians" can lead you in the right direction.

 Didn’t think an old “candy bar at checkout” style video from a comedic magician duos show about skepticism would cause such a fervor but ok.

Also, I thought the whole point of magic shows was to pay money to feel like a silly goose for like an hour. As far as I know they don’t sell tonics or give medical advice afterwards either. I got the vaccine, I’m not worried about it. If the guys with wands and rabbits in the hats make a couple ha-has that convince one idiot on the fence to vaccinated that’s a good thing, no?

[Bucketguy]

Got first dose of Pfizer on the 8th of may here in Alberta. No side effects, quick and easy appointment. 2nd dose is supposed to be within 16 weeks my card says. 

[pugmaster]

I fortunately had no complications with both of my vaccinations.

I do think it is worthwhile to bring up the various sources of information that the general public are exposed to.

Got my 1st dose of the vaccine (Pfizer) 3 days ago and the 2nd dose is on June 5. The soreness is comparable to hitting the gym doing 30 pound dumbel curls with no experience whatsoever.

PS the only antivaxxers I’ll listen to are those who endorse the extinction of the human race

[KoRnholio8]

Getting my first does of Moderna on Thursday, finally!

My uncle’s husband watches these videos and they’re staying over at the moment. :/

I’m rooting for our extinction, but I’d rather not contribute to it in this case. As such, shoot me up with some of that sweet sweet mRNA because I’ve got proteins to synthesize. Conversely, if I’m presented with a big red button I’m told not to touch, the forecast is blinding lights followed by eternal darkness.

I’m still working through some stuff.

I just got a fucking headache reading the comments on that page.

1st and 2nd Pfizer dose here with no symptoms, stayed extra hydrated the whole time.

Both parents had some side effects but nothing major after their shots. Hopefully more and more people get fully vaccinated. Be sure to let your friends know if you have been. Mine have started to sign up after talking with them and showing them I had no problems.

[layzieyez]

Good for you on sharing your experience with your friends and getting them to get vaccinated.

It really is a relief to see more and more of y'all were able to get at least your first dose finally. I know each country is different.

After my son gets his second shot, we can travel (by car) to do some vacation sightseeing since my entire household will be done.

Thank you, I live in New York State so vaccine accessibility has been really good here. Some areas even have pop up vaccination centers at train stations and bus stops(J&J Single Shot). They offer a free bus/train pass when you get your shot there. Little things like that are great for people who are willing to get the shot but don't feel like taking the time or are too busy.

At this point, in CA, if you want a shot and are even the slightest bit driven to get one, they're available. Excuses are just about gone. For people that cant access a clinic, there are solutions for that. Just have to try. A teensy bit.

I will say that in the rural county of 134k people I live in, healthcare is generally AWFUL. Covid response however, has been top notch. Tests were free and available early on, as were vaccines. Pretty cool, but damn that first test April 2020 was brutal

[dofrenzy]

Wife and I got 2nd shots this past weekend, daughters 12 and 15 got their first shots this weekend, here in Massachusetts USA.  Pfizer: the shoulder muscle was hella sore for both shots but OK otherwise.  Lots of hydration.

Last week 3 of us were down hard with a nasty cold.  Our youngest has been full-time IN school at a small private (9 kids in her class), and they did their standardized testing (Math, Science, etc.) a couple of weeks ago.  One of the parents sent their SICK AF kid to school because it was “Testing Week”.  12 year-old got sick first, then our other daughter and me (wife did not get sick).  3 other kids in her class also got it.  No joke plenty of restrictions in place at the school, plexiglass cubicles, at least 6 ft. Apart, take your temp at the door, etc......

Youngest tested negative for COVID so we all just dealt with the cold. 

Gotta say, with mad COVID restrictions in place, 3 of us getting a cold like that after going more than a full year without illness really goes to show how effective the COVID restrictions really were. 

Finally, I’ve been wanting to wear a bandana since I saw The Brady Bunch episode where Bobby idolized Jesse James.

Yeah I dont know which state you're in, CA or otherwise, but CA has been right on with vaccines, much better than they were with testing (which had a whole litany of issues that were really out of california's control anyway.

I'm right up on the north, north coast of CA. I'd heard horror stories about testing down south, but like I said, up here, our rural, community health centers really came through from the get. TBH, testing seemed even worse in Massachusetts when I drove out there last September/October 2020. Couldn't find a free test ANYWHERE in the state. Rhode Island was a different story, but ya, my testing experience in CA was top notch as far as that sorta thing goes.
