I’ve a few HCW friends that have received both mRNA doses that previously had covid. One had pretty severe “mild” symptoms; basically everything we hear about except pulmonary/O2 saturation issues. She felt horrible for almost 3 weeks. She said that dose one and two were very mild for her and felt good enough to take a 4-hour long walk the day after the second dose. Another had covid between doses with generally all mild symptoms. She was functional the whole time she had covid and was able to care for her husband who she infected and was laid up for a week with more severe “mild” symptoms. She said that the second dose was much worst than any of the symptoms experienced in her household from covid. Lasted 2 days for her.
N=2.

One can argue pro and con re restaurant workers or people with 1 high risk conditions or any other category you can think of--but what's worst in this scenario is changing the rules all the time, which just slows everything down. Besides which being eligible for a shot and getting a shot are two different things.
I do think people who can get shots should do it. As long as they don't lie or use personal connections to get ahead in line, it's no one's duty to decide that someone else is more deserving and skip the shot so that theoretical someone else can get it. The last thing we need is a 4 way stop where no one wants to go.
There was an article the other day about people they called "vaccine dumpter divers" who wait outside vax sites to see if there are any left over since they can't be saved. Personally I have no problem with that but the article made it sound nefarious. Again... we need to get people vaccinated.
I think there is no question at this point you have to throw some of the categories out the window and just go. Classifying by age is the easiest. We had months and months to identify and classify people and get databases up and running so we could smoothly inoculate by risk category or however else but nothing was really done other than some confusing charts a fourth grader could have drawn up. So we have to plug our ears and eyes and think about the greater good. Fair and equitable has never been a value Americans hold near and dear, but one shared value ingrained in all of us is we fucking hate line jumpers. Lol.
We really should vaccinate all the good looking people first. Seems like a good way to clean up the gene pool a little.
And while we're at it, can we just vaccinate the Olympic athletes so we can watch the games this summer? Enough with all this rigid thinking about who gets what when. We need the games to happen FFS.
Eye on the prize. Most people inoculated in shortest time with some sort of structure for priority ...and not get distracted on people who are undermining the priority as they are not a threat to the overall mission.
Non-adopters worry me than a few gate-crashers, but yeah admittedly, the line cutters are gauche.
got my second round of pfizer this morning. arm is sore and i feel dead. just so drained. fkn worth it though. now i can go track up vt with the ecrc boys and eat soup.
Article in the WaPo today about how different states are doing. Not that useful of an article but I loved this quote--"But speed, said Jennifer Kates, a senior vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation, is not the only measure of a state’s vaccination success. Also essential is making sure that those most vulnerable to death or serious illness are prioritized and that disadvantaged communities are served alongside affluent ones.
“That’s harder to do, and it can take longer,” Kates said. “It’s coming up against speed, and it’s creating a trade-off.”
Yes it's hard. No, taking longer is not an acceptable trade off. Way too many people in California weighing in on this vaccine thing.
And one of the comments after the article was great--basically that equity is more important than saving lives.
I'm moving to Idaho.
