Unfortunately most people do not read past the headline or chyron, hence my concern.

If fully vaccinated it is considered safe to:
*Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or staying 6 feet apart.

*Visit with unvaccinated people from one other household indoors without wearing masks or staying 6 feet apart if everyone in the other household is at low risk for severe disease.

*Refrain from quarantine and testing if they do not have symptoms of COVID-19 after contact with someone who has COVID-19.

The case graphs are trending downward so there is some light at the end of the tunnel as more vaccine gets rolled out. In Ohio the amount of vaccine sitting in the fridge or freezer remains quite high. Hopefully that changes soon.

It's crazy. One year ago my life significantly changed and hasnt gone back to normal yet. I have an immune deficiency and I work in healthcare. I went from everyday in a nursing home seeing patients to a corporate job at a desk never seeing patients. I never thought it would be a year and I wouldnt be seeing patients again. One year ago today was my last day in the nursing home. I was very lucky to be able to make the change within my company or I would have been in a real bind like I know so many others were and still are. Work for us in the nursing home industry has been so stressful over the last year though. I just cant believe its been a year.

Social aspects of my life completely changed as well, like the majority of us, and still hasn't returned anywhere close to normal. I have been lucky though that me nor anyone in my family (except for my brother in college, but no one in my household) came down with COVID.

I have been vaccinated but it doesnt give me the full protection like most people. I have been lucky enough that several of my close family members have been vaccinated, making it much easier to be safely around them.

What a crazy year.

Anybody had the Pfizer 2nd dose yet? Mine is scheduled for a week from Thursday. Interested to see if the side effects are as pronounced as the Moderna vaccine. I'm 45 but my work-field allowed me to get on the vax schedule.

Had no problem with first or second dose Pfizer.

I have had both doses of Pfizer. After second dose I had a headache for abut 4 days that I believe was related to the vaccine. No other issues.

It may be necessary to get the vaccine in secret if your news comes from Fox.
Just tell all your friends you didn't get it (even if you did), and you'll be fine.

I'm 46 and got the Moderna. Very little side effects for me. Maybe a headache a few hours after, and then tired for the next 4 days. Got mine at the same time of a group I know in a similar age bracket. Side effects ranged from vert little all the way to feeling like had the flu.

I was also told that if you don't have a reaction to the first shot, you shouldn't have much of a reaction to the second.

A headache for 4 days sounds pretty crappy. I'm still getting the vax regardless, but 4 days is a long time for a headache.

I generally have zero reaction to flu shots, other immunizations, so I'm hoping that holds true for me on this one.

Had Pfizer, 1st shot, no issues at all. 2nd shot, no issues that day. Next day from about Noon to 6pm, I had a mild fever. Just felt like taking a nap. By dinner I was fine, and have been ever since. That was 4 weeks ago.

I am not 100% sure it was related but the timing of it and the way it presented (differently than normal headaches I get) made me think it was.

Either way a small inconvenience in order to get vaccinated. My fist shot I had no adverse effects.

My daughter (23) had the full gambit of side effects for 3 days. Fortunately for young adults they have a very robust immune system, but obviously not ideal circumstance after the second dose. For some reason side effects have been worse for women as well.

Also, one year anniversary for Dr Fauci’s famous quote of masks don’t help the healthy from getting the virus. That one didn’t age very well.

My mom in her 90’s got the second shot with no side affects. The wife’s niece is in her early 30’s (got shot early because she’s a doctor) and it wiped her out for a day. Some of her coworkers needed the day off after the shot, but she fought thru it taking both Tylenol and Advil. I’ve heard the response is often much tougher on younger folks.

I get my second shot the same day as you, BTW. Maybe one advantage to being older? I’ll take whatever I can get.....

I have a friend who is the COO of a company that owns nursing homes. He said 50-60% of the staff needed at least one day off after their 2nd shot.

YIKES! We aren’t kids anymore, but the wife scheduled off for the Friday after our second shots. Just in case.

If you want to mark this thread anniversary with some fun, go back and read the first 50 or so posts. We (society, as represented by the fine Musketeer fan base on XU Hoops) knew then that this was only deadly for sick/elderly, kids are largely unaffected, and yes, hydroxychloroquine provided some treatment benefit. Then politics and the news happened.

Wow, did it really take 50 posts to become political? (sarcasm of course).

Just two weeks to slow the spread.....

I haven't listened to all of this podcast, but the first 15 minutes were pretty startling, if this guy is correct. GIFFMD, do you know if this guy is legit? He says washing and santitizing your hands is always a good idea, but it won't stop the spread of the virus because it's respiratory. He also said trying to stop the spread of a respiratory virus is like trying to stop the wind. Predicts 480,000 deaths in the US.

Pretty solid prediction from a year ago. Seemed nuts at the time but still under shot.

I was hoping someone would pick up on that one. It is staggeringly accurate - and based on simple principles know long before COVID.

Had my first dose of Moderna today. My arm is a little sore, but the process of getting the vaccine was extremely quick (no wait), and check in didn't take long at all. The pharmacy was awesome and so were the employees.

However, several hours after receiving my first dose, I went to the bathroom. Briefly glancing at the mirror, I noticed something odd. So for those concerned, yes, The Deep State is involved in this. Here's a straight shot mirror selfie:

Thank God I've researched things for myself, realized that Dr Fauci was totally wrong when recommending people don't buy medical masks (to save them for medical professionals, which he later admitted), and that Dr. Amy Acton was kicked from the governor's team. (I thought about bringing an AR-15 to her house myself, this is about freedom and liberty). WAY OFF on her estimates.

Dow is looking good.

My wife for her first Moderna shot yesterday. I get a J&J one shot vaccine tomorrow. Luck of the draw.

Heading out shortly to get my 2nd Pfizer injection. Just hope I don't get the one that turns me into a flaming libtard.

Apparently the vaccine cures the "long-covid" effects: Some long-haul covid-19 patients say their symptoms are subsiding after getting vaccines - The Washington Post. Either that or "long-covid" is psychosomatic bullshit.

I'm going with the latter, since no vaccine has ever cured effects of a disease.

For those of you who’ve gotten the vaccine, especially the J&J shot, does your vaccine card have a sticker on it giving detail of the vaccine, like lot number, manufacturer, etc.? I got the J&J vaccine, but they hand wrote the information on my card. Every other card I’ve seen from friends and family has a sticker on it.

I’m concerned that if I have to show mine anywhere to provide proof of vaccination, like at an airport, it might be looked at as fake.

What is even MORE asinine is that you would need to have that to show in the first place.

I’ve seen this first hand, but “cure” is a strong word. I couldn’t read the article to see if it mentions the word “cure” but I have seen symptoms improve after the vaccine. There are several theories on this ranging from viral reservoirs, immune activity, and placebo effect but long covid is not bs.

Edit: I should also mention that many people that have had improvement of symptoms may likely see symptoms come back at some point.

Some places that use single dose vials place a sticker to save time. Most cards have handwritten lot numbers since most vaccine recipients have received doses from multi dose vials.

I think I understand for the most part. However, isn’t vial sharing forbidden? Or did they void that with this vaccine?

Vial sharing is discouraged esp with different lot numbers (but still happens). What I was referring to was that there’s only one sticker on a vial and 10+ doses. So doses administered in that vial are handwritten on the patient card.
J&J has a lot of single dose vials so they use stickers from that vial.

We get the second Pfizer shot Thursday. The card has a sticker with the lot # and the date is handwritten. I must admit, the experience for the first shot was very well organized.
