I get my second vaccine shot 2Feb @5:40pm. I’m pretty much expecting the same thing which is the next day ruined. But now that I got one behind me I can deal with the spinning head thing for a day and stay home if need be. It was unpleasant but not that bad and it seems my reaction was not that common compared with a more significant amount of people who have had it now

Are you being forced

[walrus]

No not really I’m sure my job will make it mandatory at some point but at this time I’m doing it voluntarily. What else does one do, sit around keep bitching about the virus or try to do something about it

Thanks for completing today's check-in.

Depending on your answers, someone from CDC may call to check on you.

If you had symptoms or health problems following COVID-19 vaccination that concern you, please contact your healthcare provider. You can also report to the

Hey I don’t know what you guys are doing in the Uk but after your infection they use texts to send you a questionnaire on side effects. I’ve been getting them to this day. I didn’t copy all of it as some contained a link with my info but it allows you to report anything serious issues you had and request someone contact you.

I have booked my dad for his first vaccine next week and I may get one as well if they offer me one when I take him.

Well what a coincidence friends!


WHO Information Notice for IVD Users 2020/05
https://www.who.int/news/item/20-01-...-users-2020-05
This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity.

WHO advises laboratories around the world to reduce the cycle count in PCR Covid testing, which will result in fewer positives

And on the very day Biden is inaugurated.....MAGICAL!



Life is already getting better folks

Did I hear your lockdown is being extended? Many years ago I read a book about viruses. It was written by an MD who specializes in such things but he wrote it for laymen. Gotta be honest it was a while ago I read it can’t remember a lot but it left me with a deep respect for what viruses can do and how they mastered the art of survival. It ran through a few scenarios of future pandemics, I don’t recall him writing what we are seeing today but some of his possibilities were very grim, I think he left out the whole economic and political impact as that wasn’t the point of the book but viruses have really shed all unnecessary shit as they evolved and are very efficient at doing what they do, as we see. The mutation stuff is pretty amazing. So I think by now, I’m over 10 past my first shot, I think my body should have developed antibodies by now. I’m like 10 days or so away from my second shot.

I think one aspect that may hold some people back is the fact behaviorally nothing changes even when you have both shots. You still gotta wear masks, social distance, maintain the stepped up hygiene. I think I read for air travel and cruises you still need to undergo a covid test. I’m not complaining I’m just explaining. That’s how it is. I mean there is a possibility I could be fired if the catch me without a mask at work. I haven’t seen that happen but I know they sent out an email about it. It’s just weird how it changes nothing in that regard. I actually asked our MD how a vaccinated person could spread the illness. Is it long on me or in my nose and shit and I’m immune to it but I can still breathe it out on others? He said “we just don’t know” yup, that’s the answer you get. Well that’s the answer I got anyway. Just weird.
