Who Among Us Is Getting The Vax

[kidrock]

Sorry to hear that, kr. Sending a prayer or two that you and the Mrs. didn't contract the virus and if you did you are asymptomatic. Keep me posted, Kid.

Our family has really locked down since Christmas. My sister and her husband started having symptoms the Tuesday before Christmas. By Sunday following Christmas her husband was literally at deaths door. My sister had what could be likened to a bad cold but her husband was in ICU for nearly a week. His lungs were functioning at around 20%. He was in very good physical condition prior to contracting the virus and the doctors said that is the only thing that kept him alive. Luckily he's doing well now and is involved with daily respiratory therapy and should make a full recovery.

As you might guess all this scared the whole family $hitless but we're still undecided as to whether or not to take the vaccine. The vaccine is reportedly ineffective on the African variance which is a bit scary.

Please be the first in line to receive it, okay. Your obsession with Larson appears to be unhealthy.

Thanks for the prayers CIRF, My wife and I are hoping for the best and so, far no symptoms but, It's early. The wife and I are also praying for a neighbor he is a very nice guy and a race fan to boot.

Sorry to hear about your brother in law. I'm sure that had to be scary for everyone. Covid is not to be taken lightly and you don't know it until it really affects you or someone you really care about. You always gotta love it when some say it's no big deal.

My wife has had her first shot but, were not sure how much protection she has from the vaccine since she hasn't had the second shot yet. I'm still undecided myself. This might help make my mind up. I'm in a wait and see mode. The worst part is I'm so busy with work I didn't need to be quarantining but, have to for the betterment of all.

Time will tell. If this virus mutates to the point that it really does put someone who is healthy six feet under, the Government will force everyone to take it to stop it. But one person out of a thousand who has issues to start with, I will decline and let others who are in fear of death have it. The question could get to the point, when are you forced to take it?....... What I'm watching for, could this be part of the Mark of the Beast. With an Antichrist President, a Voodoo Vice President (her first name has 6 letters, her middle name is Devi- short for Devil, and her last name has 6 letters- which is "6 devil 6", which is a woman in the wilderness), what actions they will take to force the Ungodly agenda, for Israel is now in play for Prophecy to take action.

Good post NorthAlabama . so sad the people struck with ''fear of death'' , so scared so fearful of it! terrified of the unknown! You more than correct though ones in utter fear of ''death'' will surely except the shot, and well dam guy the whole mark of the beast you stated, dang that could follow shortly after all this vaccination is complete, i'm more than sure all this is far from over yet, aye you stated it the prophecys are being played out........

Hoping your neighbor's situation turns out okay, as well, Kid.

I've read in some of the different sections of this message board how it's a good thing that the elderly are stricken down by this evil virus. The thinking is that those old fogies are gonna' die soon anyway, why waste resources and care on them. It just drives up the cost of healthcare and further depletes medi-care funding. Dying quickly costs the all important younger folk less................until it's one of your own loved ones.

Thanks CIRF, Yeah I remember when that was said about the elderly and your right as long as it's not their elderly grandparents, parents, brother, sister that are dying. It's like my neighbor he's such a nice guy and we look out for each other and my wife and I let alone his family want him to live as long as he can. One day this past fall the neighbor behind me had someone come up pick up the leaves out of her yard and he just blew them into my yard and Vern saw it and went over there and told the guy it was pretty disrespectful what he just had done. Funny thing happened the wind picked up later in the day and the leaves were pretty much gone out of my yard.

I see mostly ALL teen youth do not wear a mask nor follow any rules trying to prevent the spread. I visited a church a few days ago where the teens were isolated because of their actions. The preacher and some males wore no mask but every person of age did. This theory that "my rights is being done away with if I wear a mask" is twisted. Wear the mask when needed, stay your distance, and be a good neighbor to your fellow man, do what helps.

Well, it's all moot anyway, since there's only going to be enough to vaccinate 300 people.

As for myself, I was thinking of getting it, but if I have to take 2 million shots in the arm, I'm having second thoughts. Say, wonder if there's a vaccine that prevents dementia?

some foolish gullible semi conscious partially aware of thee self beings of nature... you a dam fool if you trust the governors that govern "your government" gullible fool if you even trust there's a chance this crap could even be real! . But aye for the ''best'' of man kind....... fu*c* blinding ignorance ....... no illumination of a thousand points for any you....

My wife works in healthcare and got her second shot last thursday. The next day, Friday, she was nauseous and had a headache. She had to stay home from work but was feeling better later that day.

I'm going to get the shot when I get the chance. I feel like I've been gambling not getting 'rona since I take two trains to work everyday in downtown Chicago.

The trains are starting to fill up again. Next week, they are adding more cars to accommodate more people returning to work

Glad to hear your wife bounced back quickly. We've heard of a handful of people in our circle of friends that have had some minor side effects. We consulted our doctor and he is convinced that the coronavirus vaccine is no more risky than the regular flu shot. I've never taken the regular flu shot so the rona vax will be my first experience of any kind if we decide to accept it. The wife gets a flu shot every year but she can't miss work if at all possible to avoid it.

We're not in an at-risk age group or a health care worker so we'll probably be way down on the priority list.

Take care up there in chitcago, dmr37! Things get a little cramped on those CTA trains.

Does one have a choice which vaccine one gets? With 3 different kinds, soon to be, with different success rates. One might windup getting the newest lower % one, soon to be on the market which is "to prevent one from kicking the bucket, not prevent one from catching covid" on BBC. Science maker Anthony Fu--ey has changed directions like the wind changes, no mask, mask, double mask, don't double mask, it makes one's head spin.

Why take a shot for a hoax?

The only vax we've heard of in our immediate area is the Pfizer. It supposedly has the highest efficacy rate at 95%.

As far as having a choice we've been told by those who have been vaccinated that if you have a preference you may have to wait for the vax you prefer. Supposedly, the distribution points in our area take whichever vax they get from the federal agency's that supplying them.

PBS News Hour brought up the same issue that BBC did, I have been misled in thinking wrong. In these test, a person is given the two doses, waits in time, then their blood is taken to be subjected to a man made covid ? and the results is in % based on what happens on a dish or in a vial which is still unclear to me (what % it kills and is not a human trial). The question is now, is it to prevent one getting the covid or is it to prevent a bad death from covid? For the news are saying now, one still can get the virus and spread it no matter if one has had the shots or not (lowers the level of the virus in the body and not likely able to spread the virus to others as easy). I was under the impression that it prevents one from getting the virus, but that was reported in the past not to be true.

According to the Mayo Clinic you are correct, NA. None of the vaccines are capable of preventing you from contracting the virus nor do they prevent you from getting sick, but according to Mayo the symptoms are vastly less acute and the chances of dying and/or having permanent detrimental health effects from the virus are reduced by at least 95%.

[STRONGERTHANDIRT]

So, what you are saying is there is no vaccine to prevent the virus. I guess this will be our way of life from now on?
