Got my second dose of Pfizer a bit ago. First dose just made me a bit drowsy for a day. We'll see what the second does. My nurse is an older gal who lives on a farm. She says if you're going to get the vax, get the Pfizer. She's fully vaxxed, but understands why people have some reluctance. She also is pissed that this medical issue got turned into a political mess. Sore arm where they stuck me and mild fatigue. Second shot reaction probably a bit less than the first. Neither was anything to be concerned about. I look at it kind of like I look at our boat insurance policy. There's a 99% chance we'll never use that boat insurance policy, but a guy never knows. You better hope it’s like a boat insurance policy…. |

You better hope it’s like a boat insurance policy…. Yep, and you better hope you don't end up on a ventilator and regret not getting vaxed. It's a complete and total crap shoot at this point. It sure would have been nice to actually have medical people without a political bias give us actual science that hasn't been manipulated to achieve an agenda. |

Yep, you as well better hope you don’t end up on a ventilator. Plenty have being vaxed. www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/vaccinated-michigan-couple-die-minutes-145200142.html |

Yep, sure enough. Like I said, it sure would have been nice if we were given unbiased, medically guided information. The preponderance of evidence would suggest that statistically you are less likely to die of severe complications when vaxed. There are no guarantees. If I knew I had Covid in the last 6 months or so, I wouldn't have gotten the vax. It seems like if you can get through the political noise and focus on the science, that having had Covid recently and being "ok" is far superior protection to the vax. I've said it for quite awhile now...there almost has to be some genetic predisposal/marker/whatever to getting a really bad case of Covid. Kind of like the stories you hear about incredibly healthy, active dudes who eat healthy all the time and exercise daily dropping dead of a massive coronary in their 30s. It's all in the genes |

It sure would have been nice to actually have medical people without a political bias give us actual science that hasn't been manipulated to achieve an agenda. . I was thinking about how masks don’t work and then work. How we need two weeks to flatten the curve. How 50% vaccine gives herd immunity. How 70% vaccine gives herd immunity. Now we need 90% for herd immunity. How the vaccine is losing efficacy in Israel. How vaccinated people can now get the disease and spread it, but non vaccinated people are at fault. I no longer know who or what to believe. We have a senile President giving orders and an aging Dr. Fauci giving medical advice. |

So make it through and come on out! Lol! |

It's all in the genes I am beginning to think that for healthy people, the best thing may be periodic exposure to small doses of the virus. Maybe they will figure this out with vaccine, but the current vaccine is losing efficacy. How many of us have not been exposed? |

I no longer know who or what to believe. We have a senile President giving orders and an aging Dr. Fauci giving medical advice. Me either. I spent a fair amount of time reading and researching both sides of the vax debate. The conclusion I came to was that doing so was the right medical decision for me. I don't believe in vaccine mandates or firing people who refuse to get vaxxed. If you don't want to get the vaccine, don't. My wife says she isn't getting it...fine with me. If you choose to get the vaccine, fine....it's your decision. |

I will change the direction of the thread. I hear United is firing 600 people for not getting vaccinated. A few have filed lawsuits.
200 Minnesota medical professionals have also fired a lawsuit.

So make it through and come on out! Lol! I have had benign pre-ventricular contractions for at least 20 years. Basically an occasional "extra" heartbeat. Living as stress free a life as possible helps to keep them check. They are also part of the reason I made the choice to get the vax. So is the fact I've gained some weight back and my BMI is wavering between "overweight" and "obese" We won't be visiting AZ this winter, but maybe sometime in the future  |

I will take you golfing and my neighbor has a grocery bag full of dope. What the hell? Lol |

Also, I can't and won't golf. I would like to get to AZ at some point, but it will likely have to wait a few more years |
