Talked to dad
He's on his way to get the second virus shot. He wanted to say goodbye in case he doesn't come back...
Anyhow, found out that he received a 3 page form to fill out from the government with terms for paying back his economic impact "loan". I think a lot of people are about to learn the hard way that nothing is free where government is involved. |

I got my first Moderna shot yesterday morning. My daughter didn't think I should because I may get more sick from the vaccine than the virus.
I will take my chances with the vaccine. My research found there is only a .03% chance of a reaction from the vaccine. My chance of surviving covid is about 97% according to Louisiana death to confirmed cases numbers. I can't find a breakdown of ICU admits for my age group. I like the odds with the vaccine more than without the vaccine. Besides, I don't want to lose my sense of taste. I enjoy eating a nice meal. |

My wife was one of the first to get the Pfizer vaccine here in PA. She works at the local hospital literally on the COVID floor.
Both shots and nothing went "wrong". |

I'll take my chances with the Rona. The shots are not going to keep anyone from getting it, especially as fast as it has mutated. Every time I ever had the flu, I had the shot, and still got sick as hell. People are being used as guinea pigs for this, so not interested. Everyone better go ahead and realize that we are going to be living with this problem for the next year or ten.

I'll get it as soon as I am both eligible and can find it. I have had the disease already and I DO NOT want that shit again.

Notice I did not mention myself getting the shots. I'm 99.99% sure I had it late December 2019/ January 2020. I was sick as hell but survived.
I hope my wife isn't a guinea pig or has been CCP compromised. Why is the vaccine so important to get, why do you have to be tested to see if you actually have the wu flu? |

Testing verifies presence of the virus and rules out things like the common cold or influenza, and gives researchers the vast quantity of genetic sampling they need to not only track the progression of the disease through the world but also to spot those pesky mutations that can only be identified by genotyping the bug. It is impossible to develop an effective vaccine unless you have that genetic code to work against. |

There is one consistency with covid and any other illness: big pharma always wins big.

I'll let y'all know if I die from the vaccine.
First human trial was in 2009 for Rabies. Another trial ran from 2012 to 2016 for prostate cancer. https://www.communitymedical.org/abo...act-or-fiction Quote:
