Covid vaccine

[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?

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

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.

[bigdave]

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.

[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.

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

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.

[Bunk Moreland]

My county put out yesterday that all businesses have to start verifying employee vaccine status, and all non vaccinated people have to check back in every other week, and have greater restrictions placed on them, like more distancing, self quarantines, etc. could come down to mandatory vaccines for employment, which, good.

Gay Sweden reporting in:

Ain't got shit and wont probably be getting shit for a while.. even though my ass is essential worker (in finance...go figure).

Most boomers are on their first.

The rate is... not great..

[artskool]

Random timeline update: I've been fully vaccinated for a few weeks now. Spent some time with friends in NYC for the first time in over a year. One of our homies doesn't want to get vaccinated, so he wasn't invited to join in beyond a walk at the park. Would love to see more of him, but the rest of us have kids, and I'm not comfortable additional risk factors. Not to him either. I can't believe there are people out there skipping it, it's such a relief to start to get back to normal.

[butterballs for jerry]

got both Pfizer shots

first one I felt a little weird, but nothing bad

second one I got at 330pm, no ill effects until 330am when I woke up freezing cold. couldn't fall back asleep, called out of work, and by 8am all of the shit had hit the fan

chills turned to intense hot flashes constantly, my lower back and thighs were always at about a 2-3 out of ten on the discomfort scale, if I tried to eat I felt nausea, and I couldn't stand or sit up straight for more than 2 minutes. tried to watch TV and play video games but I was incapable of feeling joy or amusement. watched The Mask and I gotta say Cameron Diaz was crazy hot back then, and her first line is about riding something bareback, that's all I really took from the movie

woke up at 8 the next morning and still had a slight headache and my eyebrows hurt (?), but after working for a while everything else cleared up. I will say that eating warm food for the next two days was rough, I felt like I had a fever again and would get nauseas when my body felt warm.

I hope the booster doesn't do any of that shit, I am very hesitant to go through that again, I haven't been that sick since I had pneumonia in middle school.

Definitely stoked to not need a mask this hot ass summer walking my dog.

[matty_c]

Can’t even get it here yet, I think the government messed up the rollout or something

I saw on news the rate is not great here either
I think with the the more people don’t take or get access to it then more people will think that we don’t need it and just want to keep borders shut
Pretty stupid reasoning, it’s saying they want to keep borders shut till this time next year aka elections
Unsure if local airlines will have any workers left by then

Just an example but 6 month wait on new cars and second hand cars are worth more than pre covid, just supply and demand sort of thing
Can’t even go buy a caravan if you had the cash, 12-18 month wait on new builds just no stock cause people that would have been travelling the world are just seeing Australia now

That’s sick you guys got the vaccine yeah you’d be so hyped to get out without a mask
Fuck yeah

[TheBoognish]

Just got my first Moderna shot. Didn’t even feel it.
