Covid vaccine

Got my 2nd shot of Pfizer. Feel good aside from a sore arm and some mental fog. hopefully that will clear soon. Glad this is finally over with.

I got moderna for my second one, and I felt back to normal by the next day.

Also, Burt, I hope you’re doing well, my man. (I don’t know how to @ people.)

[FROTHY]

I wanted to wait for the full FDA approval, but I'll be getting my pfizer today because of work mandates. I wasn't opposed to getting the vaccine, and I didn't have any specific concerns, but I would have felt more confident getting it after FDA approval because of how political and unscientific most of this pandemic response has been. I get the feeling it will be approved early September anyway.

I have been double shot Pfizer'd up since late april. 2 weeks ago had some cold symptoms (headache, runny nose, sore throat) and got tested just as a precaution -- rapid test negative, but PCR was positive. I was a breakthrough infection!

Although I gotta shout out the vaccine for making me only have 2-3 days of really bad fatigue, cough, headache, confusion,  rather than 5-10 days of that, I still had to quarantine for 2 weeks which sucked major ass and cost me so much money. my Quarantine just finished up.

even if you're vaxed, If you have coldlike symptoms, get a PCR test. I was in such denial that I could get it after being vaccinated but I guess it is happening w/ the delta variant.

Are you in the US? If so, which state?

The likelihood of getting a breakthrough infection or re-infected will probably be higher in states that have eliminated the ability to claim unemployment during quarantine since people will just go to work sick if they need the money.

Governors that eliminated covid related unemployment benefits need to undo the damage they're causing.

[bigdave]

Unvax'd* looking more and more fucking stupid and selfish by the minute.


*healthy enough to make a choice, not under 12, etc. I shouldn't have to caveat this but there ya go.

What's the situation with the Delta varient in the US? It's ripping through the UK and even though deaths are way down due to the vaccinations, everyone's getting it and they've been on the rise again.

its getting prevalent. I live in a major city and the 7-day average of new cases was about 200 a month ago. Its currently sitting at around 1500 now. Luckily the vaccine greatly reduces the severity of symptoms for the delta variant. Im not a doomer but its pretty concerning as the cold months are coming up and the shit is clearly spreading. It was nice to have a couple months of summer feeling care-free but shit might get tight around here again.

Is it ok just continue to wear a mask w/o be vaccinated for COVID? Luckily I live where I do not have to do either, so I have not been following any of this lately. It sounds like shit is getting crazy again though. Good luck to all of you in the thick of this! Stay safe

[Billy Bitchcakes]

How is that lucky? Put a mask on and go get vaccinated you idiot

[layzieyez]

Hospital beds are full of covid patients in my area of Georgia. Almost back to where we were at the last peak.

Talk about history repeating if you haven't learned from it.

Idiot? You judge people w/o knowing anything about them? I am lucky because I live in a unpopulated area. That makes me lucky and you an idiot. Stay safe champ.

[Billy Bitchcakes]

My bad, misread what you meant by "i don't have to do either", think it's pretty obvious why from how you worded it. Still though, vaccinations are a worldwide effort. Everyone that gets one is helping, whatever your situation

That dude must be somebody’s doctor. Not yours..but somebody’s. He def wants to give out free medical advice to you.

Cunts are fully getting it in nsw like that delta one I reckon we all gonna have to get it and just say fuck it open up I have been waiting on that phyzer but if shit gets bad here I’m just gonna get the other one

They had on news like if you get the az you have a one in thirty thousand chance of a blood clot but if you get delta and you haven’t had any shots it’s one in fifty that you gotta go to intensive care and get on that ventilator

I reckon our government here fucked the rollout heaps of cunts around my age aren’t eligible for phyzer yet cause the conservative government in charge fucked it’s negotiations with that company no shit it was in the papers that ruddles this ex Labour Party prime minister got asked by all these Australian big dick business leaders to try talk to phyzer and because of that were lucky we have the doses we have
What a cock up

i'm getting my first Moderna tomorrow

i'm nervous...has little/nothing to do with what i hear and see...on the news and in the various media...has to do with reading up on how the vaccine actually works ("tricking" my body and all), which intuitively seems wrong, but what do i know, i'm a skater and a literature professor...........has to do with putting my faith in institutions that i have come up learning not to trust...at all...institutions that most of us in here--in most other situations and circumstances--rightfully have little faith in...

...but, i'm getting it tomorrow regardless and regardless of the fact that i had a bout with COVID a while back--it has taken so MUCH from my family. i'm definitely teaching two classes on campus in the fall though, so it's time....this thread has helped (even the smug bullying here and there)...but i'm still nervous...

[JANUS]

I’m not sure if I would say it tricks your body. If I understand correctly, it uses the mechanisms that your body would normally use to generate antibodies to a specific antigen marker in response to infection. It just seems to accelerate the process by giving you the mRNA sequence(s) necessary to produce the antibodies without the troublesome infection and immune response. As such, I feel it’s more like a cheat code, but maybe I’m just splitting hairs. Also, for the record, I’m not a bio major and I only took the mandatory bio lectures I needed for my program. So my opinions may need to be taken with some grains of salt.

yeah, i get it, "tricked" was actually the language used in one of the descriptions i read...

I think I read the same description lol. I also took issue with being “tricked,” but I felt more stoked on “cheat code,” so I thought I’d share. I hope I wasn’t coming off condescending or shitty.

Get what you can now, please. I, for one, believe it or not, am a fan of your posts. You bring something different to the table, and I like that.

It’s been 7 months since my vaccine. I’ve been out of town for work, staying in the Sacramento area where NOBODY gives a fuck about the virus, vaccines, let alone masks. Patiently waiting for my breakthrough infection.

Us vaccinated folks can spread the virus too, so what's the difference?

NYC. I work remote though, so i really can't blame any institution.

[layzieyez]

Understood.

My wife and I was discussing the loss of covid related unemployment and the behavior of the employees she supervises. There are a number who live paycheck to paycheck that will likely forego testing unless they're obviously infected. The honor system is broken and she has to be doubly vigilant since she works in daycare and kids are catching Delta.

I'm just sayin, if youre vaxxed, you should be good even if you do get infected. If you want to continue being paralyzed with fear, that's on you. I did everything they told me to, which was a big ask for me considering I’ve never trusted the government or big pharma, so I'm done. I'm gonna live life. We're all gonna eventually die anyways.

[mj23]

i was supposed to move out of my apartment today, but the movers canceled because their driver has covid. shit is definitely going around again/still.

(although I suspect this guy was probably unvaccinated, because when vaccinated people catch covid they usually don't get very sick... and from what I hear about most American workplaces, they don't stop going to work either, as fucked up as that is)

[Hevonen]

Had my second shot couple days ago. After the first one my shoulder was really sore and I slept for the entire day and felt a bit feverish the next day. This time there was no side effects whatsoever. Don't even know what I got since there was some mixup, but the first one was Pfizer.

Have you had COVID before? Or may have had it? I read that if your reaction to the first shot is pretty severe you may have already had exposure to COVID.

i appreciate this--i will have to read up. i had my first shot of Moderna on Sunday, and yesterday was pure hell--the worst headache all day, laid out all day, fever, etc. i did have COVID back in October. feeling considerably better this morning, just a little lingering headache, but i can tell i'm going to be laying on my ass still today.

if the second shot is supposed to be worse, i'm going to need to drag myself there to go get it
