on coping with C19 lockdown

I thought this was a nice story - although it surprised me after seeing the title - https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2021/01...de-effect.html

Is it just Pfizer with the bad side effects after the 2nd shot, or Moderna too?

I've heard it from both. One of my partners had COVID-19 this past summer. He said he got the vaccines and after the 2nd shot (Moderna) he was sick again for about 2-3 days - probably a more severe reaction because he had already had the virus. In talking to the nurses at our hospital who were giving the shots (Moderna) they said they knew of several of our employees who stayed out a day or two after the 2nd vaccine, feeling flu-like for a couple days, which Dr Jay also mentioned he had.

Better than the alternative.

Moderna too. The 2nd shot experience as described by somebody who was in the Moderna vaccine trials:

Twenty-seven days later, in mid-September, it was time for my second shot. It was the same drill—tiny, nearly painless prick—but this time, the after effects were much different when I got home from the lab. My arm ached within the hour, and I was so sleepy I knocked out by 9 p.m., only to be awoken a few hours later by a serious case of the chills. For the next 30 hours, I rarely got out of bed. I maintained a low-grade fever and rode a merry-go-round of sweats, chills, body aches, and extreme fatigue.

My wonder is about the other side of the coin: if you don't experience any side effects (other than minor soreness at the injection site), does it mean the vaccine isn't going to be highly effective for you?

So 15.7 million vaccine doses given in the US so far. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations

Cannot remember if I posted this but one of my partners got her second dose of the Pfizer vaccine Thursday afternoon a couple of weeks ago. Friday she was feeling bad enough she canceled her afternoon in the office, fever of 102, body aches, chills, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Even on Monday her stomach was still not back to normal. That's about the worst I've heard of for side effects.

On serious side effects...

From the GA COVID-19 newsletter:

"As of Friday, there have been 165 people with serious events associated with an ER visit out of 12.2+ million people who have started the vaccine series (or 0.000013%)"

Cannot remember if I posted this.

Hmmm, I see, what other side effects have you experienced?

meanwhile, in Oklahoma.....

Only about 2,000 people speak the Cherokee language fluently. The tribe is saving some vaccine doses for them

Friends, your hair is not that complicated or critical, you are not a super model.. go to walmart and buy one of those electric trimmers and have your wife work some magic on your thinning crown. No one will know the difference.

Please end the drama, 11 months is enough.

Or if you don't have a wife with sufficient dexterity, grab a hand mirror and cut your own hair....especially if you work from home so nobody can see if you messed up the back of your head.

I can't get to the back of my head so I hand my son the clippers and he takes care of it. 4 on the side. 5 on top. Real easy.

I am super picky, so my wife is the ONLY to have touched my hair in over 30 years. She does it parfait.

You have whipped cream in your hair?
