To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues

[Name Redacted]

What if in the future we are all warring factions of people who received different doses of vaccine? Eventually Pfizer people who would obviously rule the world and gather to watch Modernas and Jansens fight in big arenas with lions and tigers and stuff. That’d be pretty cool eh?

[RootSkier]

As a Pfizer recipient...I approve of this plan.

Why were they flying? Even if I were very flush and could go where I wish. I don't beive I would have been getting on commercial Airlines.

I read the post as Not working but still traveling. But I could have been wrong. Most of my professional friends usually travel as part of the job/. None have been traveling the past year. Just like 9/11/22001 but it just goes on and on.

Coincidentally, I've been joke pitching a movie script where one of the vaccines has a latent side effect of death, whereas another confers immunity (and possibly super powers), and stealing some body part from the latter group could save the lives of the former - but obviously, kill the "donor".

You overlooked the large contingent of heavily armed Prepper Anti vaxers.

24 hours out from Pfizer. I was tired yesterday. Took a nap in the afternoon, and an unusually long for me nights sleep and feel good so far. That said my arm feels like Mike Tyson delivered a knockout charlie horse blow...!

Yup. Is it odd that I have over a dozen friends who are currently or retired commercial pilots or flight attendants or does everyone know at least a couple? Maybe because I'm from Seattle what with Boeing and all (though some hub through SLC or MSP). Have a lot of friends who are Boeing engineers too.

Sry if already posted. I’ve been offline a bit. Here’s an NPR piece about the large study underway to answer whether (some of?) the current vaxes stop covid spread/shedding by peeps that’s are vaxed and later exposed/infected. Results are not expected for about 5 months.

turns out that in real life those guys couldn't go 5 days without a haircut before crying and begging the gov't to make it stop

This is truth. Begging for organic food in jail too.

From my experience everyone knows someone in the industry.

...or think they do. Here's a real conversation I had with someone literally minutes after meeting them:

What do you do?
Pilot
What route do you fly?
It doesn't work that way
My brother in-law is a pilot
Which airline?
He doesn't do it for a living. He says that isn't "real" flying
Oh
Yeah, I went up with him once and he's the best pilot in all of Alaska
Uh huh
What airplane do you fly?
Airbus
So you don't really fly it
I guess not

[Adolf Allerbush]

Getting COVID outta way early, I mostly felt safe rest of 2020.
I still had antibodies November 2020.

One of my friends got it in February and like you still had antibodies into the winter. He'd donate blood as frequently as possible to get the antibodies test covered.

I'll echo what others have said, hopefully you don't have a hard time with the vaccine...I know my the friend I mentioned earlier is worried as well.

That's fantastic.

All I got in my head was a big oh really, guy?

I've got tons of them. Occupational hazard.

Just announced: All WA residents 16 and older eligible for the vaccine as of April 15th. Yay!

Great news. We'll just have to wait and see how big of a clusterfuck it is.

You guys beat me to it! Still happy to volunteer this weekend and will be ecstatic if I get the jab ahead of April 15th.

Yes, on a positive note, if you get the vaccine (and I can't for the life of me think of any reason why you won't), you'll be getting it sans aforementioned clusterfuck. Seattle will be or, at least should be a bit of a mess for a few weeks, I would think.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Still no side effects. In fact, I feel great. I'm killing it.

T+11 hours after 2nd Pfizer stick
Injection site is a little tender. Was kinda sleepy but that’s likely the brownie. A little achy but that’s likely because I skied five of the last six days.

Cell reception improved by two bars almost immediately after the shot. Thanks George Soros!

8:55am I get my first jab of moderna. Best part 7 min from my home.

For WA mags, I have seen at least one place (Kaiser) where to schedule a vaccine it just asks "are you eligible for the vaccine," not are you currently eligible for the vaccine. I don't think there is anything ethically wrong with scheduling a vaccine appointment prior to April 15 for a date April 15 or later to make sure you get in the queue. When checking, I noticed lots of available appointments open if you are eligible today so not sure the clusterfuck with materialize.

J&J hangover is real with fever, aches, and exhaustion.
