For me, it'll have to be a helleva lot higher then <1%.
And I wouldn't trust any numbers the media is reporting for deaths. We all know they have been inflated.

Did we all freak out over the last 10+ viruses which hit the United States of America? Uh, that'd be a big no.

Covid has done nothing but cripple this country.
The sad fact is, it has also crippled people to no longer think for themselves and follow along like sheep.

The media/government leaders have sure pushed the fear into the common citizen, with little or no resistance.

It sucks that this, like most everything, has become divisive.

Get the vaccine or don’t. But there’s no need to insult the people who don’t agree with you. If their choice hurts them then it’s no harm to you.

I made my choice for my own reasons. I’m confident enough in my decision that I don’t have to insult people who disagree for their own reasons.

I'm on my second Costanza. Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

It is now widely believed that a third Costanza will be necessary in 6 months followed by a booster annually on the day of Festivus.

Critics believe this is an effort to boost profits at Vandelay Industries pharmaceutical division.

have not gotten experimented on with a shot yet, prospects looking slim, as on the news tonight, they are claiming a 3rd shot in 5-6 months, and they yearly after that. never ending in my mind. I think they knew this all along, as on the news where they showed the shot record, there were like 6 spaces, which I think is a lot for only 2 shots.

Got my second Phizer vaccine on Monday. i had no adverse reactions after the first dose, but the second was a different story. My experience was very much like the OP. i was totally miserable on Tuesday and much of Wednesday. Chills, fever, soreness, aches, slight coughi Feel fine now though

Been well over 24 hours post 2nd Pfizer administration, and have not experienced any adverse reactions at all. Even went to aikido class yesterday evening. Arm's not even sore any more.

There's only 4 lines. It does look like 6 if you see it quickly, but the two top lines (for the two initial injections) are double-rowed.

About three hours after I wrote this, got a little dizzy and nauseous, headache, fatigue. Just like a bad flu. I was able to knock the symptoms back with some Chinese herbs (somehow appropriate). Feel pretty much OK today, except my arm hurts again.

So, anyone going for their second shot, be wary for the delayed blowback.

I got the Moderna variety. First dose nothing at all. Second dose four weeks later some slight fatigue for a day. After that nothing at all.

Each dose took a 15 minute trip a few miles away. Drive in and they came out to the car. Second trip I brought the Nat Guard folks cookies and got great treatment.

Second yesterday. Feeling a bit punk today. Didn't sleep worth a damn last night. The only difference from the first is the sore arm started almost immediately. Today its the sorest arm as a result from a shot I've ever had.

I now know I will take the mark.

Glad somebody else got it.

Got my second Moderna shot several hours ago. So far no reactions or sore arm. That said the nurse decried their stock of syringes which were a much larger gauge than normal. Yes I could feel this "spike" going in. Gesh

We'll see how things are tomorrow.


...and NO, I don't look anything like George Costanza.

Got my second shot two days ago. A little arm soreness as the first and second day went on, but knocked down by a couple of ibuprofen. No chills, fever, headaches, or other side effects they’ve mentioned.

2nd Pfizer Wednesday. 10-12 hours later arm hurt like hell, more than first shot. Lousy night sleeping but then faded 24 hours later. That’s it - much less than my parents experienced on their 2nd moderna. Whatever, done for now until they decide boosters and 5G are required

Part of the test group now for all of this.

Weirdly my arm isn't as sore after the second Moderna shot as it was after the first. No other side effects thankfully.

I hear we oldsters suffer much much less than younger folks with these shots. My 95 yo parents had zip issues with theirs.

The 2nd Moderna vaccine kicked my ass. I was fine they day of but the next day my arm felt like I had been in a high speed mountain bike accident. My arm was damn sore and even a light tap on my arm felt terrible.

It took me 2-3 days to get close to my full energy level. I suppose one of my kids bringing a bug home and getting me sick the day after my shot didn’t help either.
