Are you noticing improved 5G coverage post-injection 2?Just got home from getting Pfizer shot #2. Nurse told me she put two chips in mine because I wasn't supposed to ask about the chip.
Kinda curious how this goes. First shot I had no symptoms. I kept my schedule pretty light at work the rest of today and all day tomorrow.
I held a strong magnet on the injection site during my wait time. That's supposed to make the chip(s) ineffective.
Not quite yet but I'll get there this week. I'm less than a pound away but I gave up booze for lent and fully plan to bounce back up over 208.7 on Easter before getting back on track.
Indeed you did find where I got that info, wow. Thanks for diving into that and clarifying, it really helps. Easter weekend I'll be at 11 days post 2nd Moderna shot and I was going back and forth on being so close to the finish line, so why even push it, especially with an 89 year old parent. But I now feel like we're alright. I'm also not over the top concerned anymore (6 days after my 2nd shot).
I read someplace that younger people (i.e. people with more robust immune systems) are more likely to experience reactions.
Sample size of one, but my wife is immune-compromised, and she had almost no side effects for her two Pfizer doses. Supports your "someplace".
It isn't that they are being extra cautious, it is that is the timeframe used in the trials that shows the 90%+ efficacy. They didn't test other timeframes.
So by her numbers, Pfizer isn't into the 90's until 10 days after the 2nd shot. But they tell us we're good a week after (totally fine). Meanwhile Moderna says we're good 2 weeks after. It's all great, I'm just curious. Moderna and Pfizer seem so similar, I guess it makes me wonder why one would be basically a 4 week total timeframe for the two shots, while the other's 6.
Moderna is 24-41 days to receive the second dose

Calling it: Negative news about the risk of variants are scaremongering media exaggerations to drive clicks & eyeballs. Any time they quote a responsible researcher about variants, they largely ignore or downplay the 90% of what the researcher said positive, and focused in on the 10% "maybes" and "possiblies" to spin a scare story.
I’ve been saying this for months. Scientists can’t give a definitive answer on things without...having a definitive answer, and our crappy clicks for pay media system has in turn taken advantage of that to scare up web traffic. Same reason they shot out the headlines that Johnson and Johnson was only 65% effective for covid when in fact it was 100% effective against death and serious illness. It’s infuriating beyond belief.
So I posted this on my FB at the same time and it's been quite comical. Thankfully, only two tin foils have checked in.Getzlaf15 said:
I think that is true and people reporting without full studies and information. This thing is going to mutate though and require booster shots at some point. Maybe not indefinitely as this fades into a more common cold type illness and it no longer is "novel" to us.
Replace “lie” with “negativity” and I think this is where we are at today.
there's no county website/app? down here in orange county, i signed up on the othena app. as soon as we were eligible, the wife and i received texts to make our appointments. took less than a minute to sign up originally(in jan) and again, to make the actual appointments. super smooth and easy.
I was tired for days 3 and 4 after first shot. I think she's right.
This is true for most immunologic phenomena. It’s a little hard to reconcile with older people being the highest risk for severe covid, as ultimately the “cytokine storm” immune response its what usually does people in.gruecd said:
My understanding is that the vaccine primarily works by attacking the spike protein that allows the virus to actually attach and infect our cells. And the vaccine does this in multiple ways. So even if the spike protein would mutate to eliminate one of the ways the vaccine attacks it, the vaccine would still be effective. The virus would basically have to develop and entirely new structure to infect us with for it to make the vaccines ineffective.
We don’t know, and it’s arguably unknowable, but:
I knew you were joking but have wondered if they’ve had people either accidentally or on purpose try to get a 3rd dose or doses of two different ones. And if it’s happened what happened to that person.
So when I got my shot yesterday they asked if I had taken another vaccine since my first phizer. Nurse went on to tell me somebody came in for their second phizer and a week previous also got the J&J. He lied to them when they asked, but there is a federal database they are checking up against to see what people have taken.
Had mine the same day and arm felt sore for maybe a half hour until my 16 year old punched me right on the shot spot the next day. As Red always said, dumb ###. Definitely hurt a bit more than normal, but just for a minute.
If I've learned anything from role playing games, it's that taking an extra vaccine shot will make it so that not only am I immune to covid, but I actually regenerate HPs when exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Can't wait.
