Looking forward to getting my second shot, judging by how many people
were "in line" and how quickly the spots were filling up, it seems like I'm not the only one looking forward to moving past all of this.

Here in the states it really feels like 50/50 of people who WON'T get vaccinated. With those numbers, this thing isn't gonna be DEFEATED by any means.

I have heard than in Israel they already have a virus variant that is stomping over vaccine induced immunity. I think it is a so-called Indian strain.
Lots of people is acting as if they are immortal just because they got
the two shots. If anything, the vaccine should be considered a
bulletproof vest. It may help you if you get exposed to danger but you don't want to test how good your protection is with real fire.

Here there is some hesitancy about mixing & matching doses.
If you received AstraZeneca as your first done, you can choose to have
it as your second, though the recommendation would be to get an mRNA vaccine instead. (Ontario stopped offering AstraZeneca as a first dose
in May).
And due to a shortage in shipments of Pfizer, if you received Pfizer as your first dose you may get Moderna instead as your second, at least
until supplies stock back up in a couple of weeks.

I don't know why one would WANT to mix vaccines... hmmmm.
Well, I guess if it was the only thing available and the professionals were telling me its safe and effective - I just haven't seen or heard about that at all.

Yeah, like a shot to the head . . . no vest there. :-)

I do wonder how close it is to being the risk of dying if you catch non-pandemic influenza.
As it is, I'm trying to take as much advantage as possible with masks still being socially acceptable to wear, since hopefully it'll help me avoid getti a cold or flu for (at least) a couple of years.
I don't know why one would WANT to mix vaccines... hmmmm.When I got my first Pfizer shot, they were clear to point out on the reminder card that I must get the Pfizer second shot and not to get the Moderna if I got the Pfizer.
They change the rules here in Canada based on supply. When all vaccine supplies were low they told us it was better to extend the second shot
out to 16 weeks vice the 3 weeks recommended by the manufacturers. Now that we have more supply all provinces are allowing re-bookings of the second shot to a much sooner date. So I guess 16 weeks being better is
no longer "science".
Now with Pfizer supplies low they are telling us mixing and matching is fine. Before, they told us not to.
I got my notification the other day that I can now re-schedule my 2nd
dose (it is currently scheduled for September). I looked. No Pfizer, which was my first dose. Only Moderna. I'm not going to mix. It may
be fine, but just like the 16 weeks thing, the "science" on mixing vaccines may change again once Canada gets more Pfizer supply.
I'm just guessing here, really - but I think they are both just trying to ge people vaccinated no matter what... and sure, that COULD mean some negative
I agree, they want people vaccinated no matter what as fast as they can. However, I doubt the reason is politicians care for public health (they usually don't). Knowing how these things work, I'd bet my balls a lot of politicians is getting bribed to promote or enforce vaccination
programs. Therefore they don't care if the timing, mixing or whatever breaks the effectiveness of the vaccine or not.

vaccines certainly are a LOT of money - in America, we didn't have to pay a penny for a Covid vaccine. I'm sure that theres people getting [more] RICH from something that they want 100% of the population to get...

Oh we had to pay for it - or at least our kids will, in the form of
TAXES. Money was paid for those vaccines - have no doubt about that!
