• Fully Vaccinated!

    From Warpslide@21:3/110 to All on Wednesday, July 07, 2021 15:09:20
    Hi All,

    I received my second shot today. First shot was Moderna on May 15th and my second shot today was Pfizer. Of course I have to wait a few weeks for this shot to be fully effective.

    Got the shot about 5 hours ago and there is *maybe* a little bit of soreness at the injection site. We'll see if this increases at all. I remember Moderna hurting a lot more and for a few days afterwards.

    Other than that, I have an appointment to get my haircut after work. It'll be good not looking like a sheepdog anymore. Slowly getting back to normal...

    Congrats!

    Hoping for my second shot around mid-August... Got the first one mid-June, and (currently) they wait 7 weeks between the shots to make sure as many as possible get their first shot about... now, before summer vacations and stuff.

    I had both shots of moderna. First one didn't bother me at all, second
    one the next day I hurt everywhere and felt stoned. Woke up fine Sunday, Monday had a fever, Tuesday was fine again.

    Since so many people post when they got vaccinated allow me to post some information to maybe give you a different perspective.

    I'm surprised really, other than a *sort of* sore shoulder, I feel perfectly fine today. With Moderna my shoulder really ached for 3 or 4 days (but that was the only thing I noticed).

    I finally got my first shot this past Tuesday (day before yesterday). It was the pfizer (sp?) one and it was quick and small and my experience has been positive so far. My arm is little sore but no more than any other muscular injection I've ever taken. Immediately after the shot I felt a tiny tingle in my arm that lasted about a second and then moved to the tip of my pinkie and ring fingers then was gone. I sat and read stuff on my phone (they make you wait 15 mins to make sure you don't have adverse reaction. Upon the time lapsing I stood up to leave and noticed everything looked rather vivid like colors were brighter than previous and I felt kind of energized as if I had taken B12 or something. This feeling lasted into the evening and I was wide awake until around 3am (rare for me as usually I am exhausted and asleep by midnight at the latest. I slept from 3am until my usual 7am or so wake up. The next day I felt normal until the evening when I experienced a mild nausea and a low grade fever that passed by morning and now I feel fine and completely normal.

    I just got my second shot last week. My experience was the same as the first. I felt a bit of discomfort at the injection site that went away the next day. I was given pfizer both times. I was open to the idea of taking a different vaccine the second time but they gave me pfizer so I just went along.

    There is some talk now of a booster shot. I'm not sure that will be needed but if these new variants start kicking our buts it might be.

    The rules around masks have been lifted now but I am going to continue wearing a mask when out and about until we can be more sure if they are doing any good.

    Here when I got mine they were discouraging people from mixing and

    variants start kicking our buts it might be.


    If variants start kicking buts, I think you won't need a booster shot. You would need a different
    vaccine that grants immunity against different variants.

    The hospitalary corporation the clinic I work for deals with is not taking any chances. AFAIK they
    are recommendin everybody to be vaccinated both among the workforce and patients, but they test
    everybody within their resources against the virus, vaccinated or not.

    It is funny when patients tell you that they are outraged because they are being tested against the
    virus a few weeks later after taking the 2nd dose of the vaccine. Insurance companies themselves
    seem to be paying for the test quite eagerly too.

    Testing every patient who needs any non-trivial treatment is a huge overload for the workforce and
    it eats away a lot of time. It delays treatments for up to seven days - which sucks because before
    the virus, you'd get _treated_ within 3.

    And still they keep testing everybody, including the vaccinated. No exceptions, despite the work
    overload.

    I think they are also testing natural immunes too.

    What this tells me is that none of the higher-ups in the industry trusts any sort of immunity
    against the virus to be predictable, whether natural or vaccine induced. Given the fact this people
    is who actually has field data, I find it worrying.

    I know I am the official waterparties in FSXNet at this point, but a lot of people just stops being
    careful after getting the vaccines as if they were the ultimate panacea... this is specially
    troublesome because vaccine immunized people can also pass the virus to others anyway. I suppose it
    feels great to think you are indestructible after taking the shots, but don't be the ass who passes
    the virus to others and don't be the ass who dies to a variant not covered by your current vaccine.

    test quite eagerly too.

    The chances are lower but even fully vaccinated people can get covid.

    There is a large majority here who are vaccinated but not all, so there is still a concern.

    Has your country been successful in getting a majority of the population vaccinated? Do the people want to be vaccinated?

    There is still much we don't know, like how these new variants affect things.

    I was surprised that the mask mandate was put aside so soon. I think our government did that because it is popular and politicians like to be popular. It's nice we'll have freedom from that over the summer but I hope we don't end up in another lock down.

    I think the current goal is to get as much people vaccinated as possible down to teenagers 16 years
    old. I don't know what the current percentage of the population is covered but the whole
    vaccination program is moving slowly. AFAIK population at risk is close to 100% vaccinated already.

    The polls used to say that less than half of the population wants to be subjected to the vaccine
    early on. There is a whole lot of pressure so it is hard to say were opinion stands nowadays. Most
    politicians (including opposition) take a pro-vaccine stand, there is a lot of corporative pressure
    to get workers vaccinated, and a lot of "vaccine skepticism shaming", so I expect anybody who does
    not have faith in the vaccine to stay silent due to fear from repercussions. This makes it very
    hard to asses the real mood of society at large.

    My understanding is that the vaccine doesn't necessarily provide an immunity to the virus, but will lessen the chance of becoming infected and will
    lessen the severity of the virus if you do contract it. Is that not true?

    They're running out of time to get kids under the age of 12 vaccinated
    before the school year. My daughter is going into the 6th grade and won't be 12 until October, so she'd be looking at at least until November before she was considered vaccinated, at best.

    These boosters are for the variants as far as I know, so they will be different than the first vaccine.

    I'm going to guess it's like the annual flu shots? I get those every year
    and get them free because I have asthma, and they include new flu
    variants in them each year.

    The chances are lower but even fully vaccinated people can get covid.

    Comparing again to the flu shots, yes it's still possible to get the flu, especially because of new variants, but the main thing is you recover
    quicker when you do get them.

    And that's a big thing, especially when a bad flu would take me out for
    5-7 days before I started taking the shots, and then the flus had a long
    tail of ongoing effects. Now 3-4 days is normal and I'm nowhere near as
    bad, and that tail is shorter and not as bad.

    Flu shots also don't protect from catching colds, but they do seem to help
    me recover from them faster too.

    So I think it's good that people are still being tested. Like someone
    said, folk think it's a panacea and that a vaccine will protect you
    forever, but that seems to be a misunderstanding or an intentional misrepresentation by some people.

    I'm sure this'll be like the flu shots (because it's a flu) and that
    people will need annual boosters to keep on top of it and new variants.
    Will they be able to be rolled into the regular flu shots? I duuno, but
    it makes sense to at least try and give people one shot annually rather
    than several that may need to be timed so that one gets into your system
    before you can take the other one.

    I thought you had to get the same brand of shot both times.. I didn't know you could mix & match. Also that's almost 2 months apart - I thought you had to wait just 3-4 weeks between doses. I got Pfizer both times and it was 3 weeks between the doses.

    If variants start kicking buts, I think you won't need a booster shot.
    You would need a different
    vaccine that grants immunity against different variants.

    We have insufficient vaccines to go around here... and still they dither
    about who gets what, and what you should get. There's been some conjecture
    on mixing vaccines.

    At present the reccomendation is to have two of the same. However there's
    some conjecture, and work going on that suggests using differing vaccines
    will give a strong result immunisation wise. I wouldn't be surprised if the next line o' defense is if you've had one, have a "booster" of a different vaccine.

    One of the Doctors I work with has commented that they are seeing a surprising ammount of
    complications from vaccines in people under 30 - to the point she thinks people under 30 should not
    necessarily be vaccinated - but I don't know how significative the sample is :-)

    The way this has been managed in Spanish schools, I assume if a kid has had the virus, the whole
    classroom has gotten it already. This is because kids don't know about wearing masks and social
    distancing and whatever. There is a school near my shop and everytime they have a break you'd swear
    they are partaking in a contest to see who can pass the virus to most people.

    Are you using some definition of "flu" that is broader than "influenza virus"?

    Will they be able to be rolled into the regular flu shots? I duuno, but
    it makes sense to at least try and give people one shot annually rather

    Moderna is working on an mRNA vaccine for influenza, and hopefully that'll
    have a higher efficacy than the annual flu shot, which tops out at around 60% effective (in a good year).

    But I think I read something about them wanting to make a combination
    vaccine, so they can sell a flu and COVID booster combo shot (and the flu shot would _already_ be a combo shot, since it'd have different items for four strains).

    Anyway, I'm hopeful that the anti COVID efforts will continue helping knock down the flu through related technology.

    It's a Canadian thing.

    I hadn't heard of anyone mixing doses either. Interesting to hear it works..

    It's a UK thing.

    Still, with the timing, I think it largely boils down to, "this is how Pfizer/BioNTech/Moderna/Johnson and Johnson/Astrazeneca tested it, so it's
    the one situation we have reliable evidence for".

    But there are probably a _lot_ of situations that will work fairly similarly.

    Hello JOE DOOM!

    And that's a big thing, especially when a bad flu would
    take me out for 5-7 days before I started taking the
    shots, and then the flus had a long tail of ongoing
    effects. Now 3-4 days is normal and I'm nowhere near as
    bad, and that tail is shorter and not as bad.

    Flu shots also don't protect from catching colds, but they
    do seem to help me recover from them faster too.

    I've had the exact opposite experience. The last 3 flu shots
    (spaced at about 2 or 3 years apart) produced progressively
    worse reactions for me. Since the last shot, now over 5 years
    ago, I have had no major cold or flu. Before covid, I was
    working 7 days a week. There wasn't any illness that would
    prevent me from working. I only felt having a "diffent" kind
    of flu late 2019, and I overcame that in 4 days (Thursday first
    signs of onset, Saturday night 104deg fever, Monday clarity.)

    ..I duuno, but it makes sense to
    at least try and give people one shot annually rather than
    several that may need to be timed so that one gets into
    your system before you can take the other one.

    No thanks.

    Spectre just likes to practice his German from time to time, if you're
    willing to humor him. Sometimes I join in, too, with my, erhm, in-progress German.

    Are you using some definition of "flu" that is broader than "influenza virus"?

    No, I was using an incorrect assumption based on the symptoms. But I just
    read a page on CDC's website that compared them and pointed out
    differences. So I was wrong. :) Sorry.

    Anyway, I'm hopeful that the anti COVID efforts will continue helping
    knock
    down the flu through related technology.

    Yeah that would be good.

    well, the video with Prof. Bhakdi is completly in english. Seems you did
    not even watch a minute of it. Odysee is not a german website, but the
    video description was.

    for you Specre the censorable Youtube version with english description
    and title.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi-4o-pgho0

    these informations are so important, i thought it would maybe reach
    someone and make em rethink about this topic.

    Well that'd be right... I don't recall seeing any video, just the deutsche page, but that could be my antique browser kicking in again... its a pretty old firefox, gets more obstreporous by the day.

    I'm far more likely to watch a video, if the text that went with it proves to be something valuable... hard to tell with what was there. Otherwise I tend to assume its like 90% of the other sensationalist, left/right wing junk :)

    Hi All,

    I received my second shot today. First shot was Moderna on May 15th
    and my second shot today was Pfizer. Of course I have to wait a few
    weeks for this shot to be fully effective.

    Nice. I've got one more week until my second shot.

    I don't know how i should have presented this video with realy important imformation to you so that you would have watched it.

    i would try to get a transcript of that video and post it here, but since
    i am on MagickaBBS i have to work with an editor that does not allow to
    insert long text and also the longer i work with the MagickaBBS editor
    the more it is likely to crash. not to mention copy paste and edit
    problems that move the whole text around. so it is currently quite
    difficult wo write longer texts without the risk of the editor crashing
    here. i need a new BBS system for sure.

    well, whatever i made my point. you obviously dont want to let
    information get to you that does not come from a source you choose to
    believe. your choice. i wont waste any more time now.

    Stephan / Mindsurfer

    Are you feeling okay?

    I know people can get argumentative online (surprise!), but I didn't really detect even _annoyance_ from Spectre's words.

    So your response seems like maybe you're having a hard time or something.

    If so, my condolences.

    i'm good. thanks. i just felt not been taking serious. hard to say what Spectre's first german post was supposed to mean. but we can close that
    topic now. just take you shots or not. watch tv for information or allow yourself to get infos from other sources to.. i wont post about that
    topic anymore.

    I thought you had to get the same brand of shot both times.. I didn't know you
    could mix & match. Also that's almost 2 months apart - I thought you
    had to wait just 3-4 weeks between doses. I got Pfizer both times and
    it was 3 weeks between the doses.

    It's the Canadian way. We call it "the science". But when things change
    (i.e. more supply) then "the science" changes. Yes I'm being cynical, but
    with good reason lol.

    Turns out "the science" is biting some people in the butt. A man from London, Ontario booked a vacation to Barbados only to discover that that country didn't recognize mixed doses as being "fully vaccinated".

    Turns out after all the media hype the Barbadian government has updated it's policies to recognize such individuals.

    A family friend (she's in her mid 70's by now) took the Moderna
    shot and felt miserable, sore arm, and fatigued for over 2
    weeks. Her appetite suffered as she just felt like sleeping all
    the time. She has decided NOT to proceed with another shot.

    Yeah I heard about that. Apparently "the science" hadn't been heard in
    Barbados lol.
