... and in spite of it's smaller size, it has twice the transmission range as the first-generation model.

I don't even need to use my cell phone anymore to call mom. I just tap my ear and start talking.

Our whole family just threw our cell phones away.... Yessss!

I do feel a bit chilled after this morning’s vaccination. Could be a side effect. Or maybe I just need a sweater.

13. I got the Pfizer jab, and it was painless. Actually, still is, 4 1/2 hours later

Ok, I'm a little sleepy but that could be because Sophie Stinky Toes insisted on waking me up, several times last night, because she needed some emergency scritches. Or she was telling me the raccoons were stealing the feral cat's food. Not sure. I was groggy.

I know several people who had an incredibly sore arm. I guess I'm lucky!

15. I still feel absolutely zero discomfort.

My arm isn't tender. No headache, which understand is another reported Pfizer after effect.

I have started to wonder about something. If someone has been an asymptomatic carrier, perhaps they will have the same "non" reaction to the vaccine.

There's a high chance I might be one of those. Back when it first hit, my brother actually contracted Covid-19. He was at my house, several times when he was in the highly contagious stage. I sailed through last Winter with just one VERY mild head cold. So, did I catch Covid but remain asymptomatic? I guess I'll never know. I do know that I've never had the flu, or if I have, again, I was asymptomatic.

Anyway, that's my own little theory, based on nothing scientific, about why some people have no vaccination side effects, and some have them in varying degrees from mild to awful. When my brother got the Moderna vaccine, he spent 36 hours suffering the same way he did when he had active Covid.
