Got the 2nd Moderna vaccine early Weds. morning,

[duforsure]

Weds. was fine, but Thursday morning was sore, tired , and ended up sleeping 6 hours. Feeling better so far this morning after sleeping some last night, and not sore now. Now with Abbott lifting the covid restrictions I will not do business with places that allow no masks. Too many unknowns with variants around , and I'm in a higher risk group of serious problems if I were to still get it. Until the vaccine rates are a lot higher I won't risk it. Abbotts going to get people killed, and hopefully I won't be one of them.

1. Got my first Pfizer shot Wednesday in Houston. Arm hurt like hell but Tylenol knocked it out.

And wow do I feel ya!! So many covidiots down here and Padre spring break starting next week. I’m still hunkering down. Also high risk.

2. I just got my Round 2 yesterday

So far no soreness (Round 1 pain kicked in that evening).

I felt sleepy and turned in last night but that's normal for me.

Not feeling out of sorts thus far, I wonder when I should expect nastiness to show up

3. Krugman hints at a lovely analogy .....

Abbott is spiking the ball on the 20 yard line.... To 'own the libs'...

8. I thought it was to change the narrative from his failed response to the power outage...nt

4. Your experience sounds

much like mine! I'm fine now.

Glad to hear that you are doing better!

5. Congrats!

Today marks my 14-day "anniversary" of getting the second dose. (Yes, I had an almost identical reaction on the morning of day 2). My immune system should be prepared to fight off the virus. Still awaiting the CDC to announce its revised guidelines for post-vax. And I have my shot-card tucked safely away for when I do feel ready to travel again.


Who would have ever suspected we'd be celebrating getting a vaccination? I try very hard not to make my news sound like I'm gloating, especially since so many relatives and friends are still waiting for the first vax. They don't begrudge my high-risk eligibility, nor my persistence and ingenuity in getting the first appointment. I just hope their turns come sooner rather than later.

6. DeInsane here in Florida thinks 50% of the population

should be enough to get vaccinated - I had no idea he was an immunologist and infectious disease expert as well as an ASSHOLE.

11. Sure, because he knows there will be a lot of anti-vaxxer Trump supporters refusing the vaccines

He adjusts the science to please these idiots!

7. heard very similar reactions from lots of people.

Varying in intensity from sicker than a dog and missing work to

minor aches and pain or nada. Glad your feeling better...

9. I got my first shot of Pfizer with no problems, just a bit of a sore arm.

It seems to me people are having more problems with the second than the first. I'm curious if you have a good working immune system would your reaction to the vaccine be less? And if you have a poor immune system that the injection will effect you more? If that makes sense.
questions questions questions...

10. My 2d Modernization is scheduled for 3/20. Stay smart...

sounds like you have a handle on it, but real effectiveness takes a few days, maybe as much as 2 weeks for full protection.

Stay strong and smart.
