Getting my second shot today.

So, YES, get vaccinated if you qualify. But don't try to jump the line because doses are still in short supply despite the fact that many are leery of taking the shot.
I got my first shot nearly two weeks ago and I'm fine. Just a slightly sore arm for a day and exactly the same as other vaccines I've gotten. I got the Pfizer vaccine which an Israeli study released yesterday said conferred 85% immunity in the first dose. But you still need the second to promote full -- and long term -- immunity.
I've seen some say it's an "experimental" drug, which is not true. The mRNA technology has been developed over twenty years and the vaccines were tested using standard CDC protocols with nothing speeded up and no corners cut.

People in my age group shouldn’t expect to get vaccinated until late summer. Other than an aunt in her mid-70’s, none of my family, friends or coworkers have been able to get their first shot yet. If what my doctor at Kaiser told me was true, then herd immunity may not be achieved until fall at the earliest. Who knows?

I agree, got my first one recently and my second will be a couple more day. Posted the needle in my arm on my social media page and it's like the bitches are coming out of the woodwork ready to jump on my sorry ass.....lol

for my first dose on March 4th.  

. . . a little earlier than I had anticipated, and looking forward to the second. Well, "looking forward" is maybe a stretch, considering what I've heard about reactions to the second shot. Looking forward to being a little safer, more like.

I too am a John, Trick, or my personal favorite. Whore mongering pig. oink oink.

I’m a John for sure .

.....in the family that will get it.  

...get Pfizer covid19 vaccines a few weeks ago with a very little reaction.

Yes, I've missed kissing!

From what I've heard, older people don't have as strong a reaction to the second shot as younger people with stronger immune systems.

There are plenty of providers out there who will kiss, kiss and kiss today without you even having to claim you have been vaccination much less having to prove it. PLENTY of them.

About jumping the line ... I am just 68, but the hospital associated with my audiologist started emailing and calling me to come in for the vaccine.  I suspect they get shipments and due to the short lifespan they cast as wide a web as they can to get people to come in an get the shots before the batches go bad.  I'm sure there are older people than me who are not on their contact list who I am getting in ahead of.  But the shots will go to waste. So I don't feel guilty.

. . . about them casting a wider net rather than let doses go to waste, and in my opinion that's what they should do.

I will get it when it is my turn.

You really?  
I wasn't gonna take it thinking you were not going to.  
OK then let's get the mark of the beast then.  

What's with kissing?  
I never kissed for real and maybe a couple of times for fake.  
Same as dancing. I might have done it a few times, but while doing it I'm wondering the purpose and stuff.

to get rescheduled for my first dose. My first appointment was cancelled due to lack of vaccine availability. Frustrating.

Been there, Done that x2, awaiting the Booster!!!

I've been trying for nearly three weeks but my state's system is so f--cked up.
I am eligible, but there are a dozen sites you need to check for slots.. and if they become available they get filled within seconds. I suppose some people can sit in front of their computers all day and keep refreshing their screens...
I would be happy to register for an appointment and wait a few weeks if I could.

Massachusetts system is a mess. 65÷ & people with issues.. only 140,000 doses available state wide per week.  So no appointments available.  Computer systems crashing.. it's a mess.. it will take awhile..

It's a mess but I got lucky and was able to get a nearby vaccine appointment for next week. It takes a lot of perseverance and a little luck so keep trying.

as the saying goes:   If you have to ask....

I suspect that at least for the immediate future a COVID shot will be required to travel internationally the same as all the other shots you have been required to get to travel between many countries for years now.  

Really old and or very weak and sickly to have got the shot so soon, two weeks ago.
The 46 in your handle must be the year you were born. Hey that’s OK old timer you just hang in there and make sure you get the second shot on time and you should be good to go.  
I’m registered in my state and in line but being relative young and healthy it will be a while but when I get the call I’ll be there. In the mean time I’ll just follow all the precautions and I’ll be OK.
You are correct that it is not experimental. What may confuse people is that the CDC gave emergency use authorization, big difference between that and experimental.

The little troll who shows up every month or so to lob something feeble at me. The 46 in my handle is for the number of times I've shit on your head. So I guess I should change it to 47.
Word has it you are neither young nor healthy.
But thanks for the last couple of lines in which you are actually correct. That is highly unusual for you.
Have a nice day!

Depending on where u live (didn’t look but assuming westcoAst for Kaiser) and how old U are, there are variations in the VA and Kaiser protocols. However your info is probably off about not being able to get it. It really depends on the supply at your VA or Kaiser location. Sure some people have not been able to get it.  

I was able to get around the mass-vax site and went directly to the Curative website to get an appointment at a mass vaccination site near me.  Start with the vaccine finder of mass.gov and choose the mass vaccination site and click on that location.  It will bring up the Curative website for the area you selected.  Bookmark that.  You can check it periodically as an appointments open up due to cancellations, but when they start adding more appointments, you can speed up the process.

I got shot #2 yesterday. 24 hours later no side effects. I feel very fortunate.

I understand ....... folks your age often get cranky, even when people are nice to them, it is part of getting old. The mind deteriorates and you most likely do not even realize it, and that is sad.

That is only a rumor started by young people.  The truth is us old timers are not namby pamby and do not feel the same pain as the coddled youth of America.

My shitting problem is actually YOUR shitting problem, since I do it on your head. Are you into coprophagy or something?
See you in a month or so.
ROFL.
Aren't there some cocks you have to suck in the outhouse?

Two weeks until max protection.

If Fester and all my "bad guys" are doing it.  
I think I will too. I will get the Mark of the Beast too.

I got mine yesterday. No side effects. Looking forward to being back in circulation. 🙏🙏🙏

I see you are having one of your episodes.

Maybe you OD'd on Ovaltine? Or binging on Pop Tarts and Count Chocula? Anyway, you're adorably persistent and I hope you're having fun. See you in a month or so.
Back to the Outhouse with you.

Congrats !

First dose provides tremendous benefit. Felt better post 2nd shot than the first actually.

I have no idea when i will be eligible for a vaccination. I was hoping that my workplace would help secure us some doses due to the nature of our work but they have been slow to get on it. Like all of the good folks out there I will patiently wait my turn, and then pounce on the first provider that makes eye contact, lol.

Awesome you got the vaccination.  

Maybe don't read threads that don't interest you.  Just a thought.

You go, dude.  Old Timer????? What Bull Shit.  Everyone knows criteria for vaccination is all over to board at this point.  

Since I do not travel and I live in an area with a smaller population, provider pick is limited.

Oh fuck, you fuckers are talking about the fucking vaccine, I was talking about tequila. Never mind. lol

I took my first blue pill...  

That I was bragging about getting my first shot on March 4th.  You're right, its no big deal, so I don't know why I was trying to fit in with the Janes.  Lol

Seriously. This Snake lady is wound awfully tight. She needs psychological help based on the things she posts!

So does Snake have a dong or a really loose vag?

many of the rest of us.  He does make a point.  At the top of the Forum page, it says this . . . . .

A vaccine that will allow safer intercourse is not really off topic for this forum.  

I’m going should start a thread on TER. Titled: “When shopping down the bread aisle which types of bread catches your eyes the quickest? The buns, loaves (white or wheat) or the French breads?”  

It must be getting close to the time for you to get your second shot.  
Do not forget to keep you appointment, we do not want anything to happen to you.

I haven't seen a single client in over a year and it's driving me crazy. I got my second dose a little over 2 weeks ago so starting next week I'll be able to be my slutty self.

Are not available to everyone. Older population gets it 1st, unless your an essential worker. I wish being a provider was recognized as essential work. I am waiting for my opportunity to get vaccinated & will when able.  

I felt really uncomfortable going through with  
that. I'm a relatively young guy. There are people who currently need it way more than me. Certainly some older people need it more than I need it for hobbying.  

and has nothing to do with Veterans. A quick click on reviews pretty much supports that.

That’s right, Jensen. Virginia boy and a little over 20 years too young to qualify for the vaccine during any part of phase 1 in the DMV (DC, MD, VA) area. Like another has said, it’s been a year, I wrote the Covid protocols and ordered everything for my employer to keep business going, so I’m fine with waiting longer. I prefer that my mother and older relatives get their’s though.

reading OTM's post about having connections.  Turns out I knew someone that knew someone.  I got my first vaccination yesterday.  Get the second one in three weeks.  

The vaccines are mRNA vaccines.  Not really vaccines but experimental gene therapy.

Good idea!!! More for the rest of us!!!  

mRNA has been in use for a while and beyond the "experimental" stage. They are actually safer than standard vaccines as they simply don't have the virus at all so you don't have to worry that some live virus got included in your vaccination.

Not quite right.  "Gene therapy" is for patients with a mutated or missing gene product (protein) that leads to a disease (e.g., sickle cell anemia). The therapy inserts DNA into cells where it remains for a long time (years to forever). That DNA makes "good" proteins that are otherwise missing or defective in that patient and restores some function that otherwise led to the disease. The disease is partially or completely fixed by the insertion of the "good" gene copies.
.
An inoculation with mRNA inserts a small piece of mRNA into cells (e.g., into the muscle in your upper arm) that make a small piece of a protein that can elicit an immune response. It's not a complete gene nor a complete protein. The mRNA degrades fairly quickly and never gets converted back to DNA and never enters the nucleus or becomes "genomic."

Thank you all science guys
But is Chicken Little right or not?  
Should I get the vaccine or not? Of course most will say yes as it's happening right now.  
But does Chicken Little have a point? I could refuse the vaccine just to go against it and maybe some of us can keep the disease alive and not make it disappear forever.  

The Pfizer and Moderna mRNA injections which are being emotionally forced on U.S. citizens do not meet the legal definition of "vaccine" and are therefore not vaccines. They do not stimulate immunity from the alleged SARS-Cov-2 virus which causes the Covid-19 illness; and, they do not prevent a person who has contracted the virus from passing the virus on to others. Therefore, this mRNA technology cannot promote herd immunity.

I still need to read up on it.  But, if I understand correctly, the Johnson & Johnson single-shit is an actual vaccine that can prevent contagion even with asymptomatic symptoms.  I heard that the efficacy is lower at 85%, but it’s considered an actual vaccine and not a treatment or however you want to categorize the current ones available.

Exactly where is "vaccine" defined in the law (which statute)?  The "mRNA vaccines" are referred to as "mRNA vaccines".  Consider that a new term of commerce and medicine. Where the context is obvious, "vaccine" is a convenient shorthand for "mRNA vaccine."  
.
What is the "synthetic pathogen" in the mRNA formulations that enters respiratory cells and how does it get from the site of injection (upper arm) to the lungs?
.
MS? Lou Gehrig's? AD? Where do you come up with this nonsense?

God bless you. I appreciate reading your medical and scientific expertise (assuming that you have any). For myself, I chose to follow the advice of my physician who I know has 35+ years of medical and scientific expertise, and every other medical professional that I know, and his/their strong recommendation was to get the shots, which I have done.

If you feel the need to get the vaccine that would be the one to get.

My 2 cents - get the vaccine as soon as you can. I’m scheduled for March 3rd.  

So you're going to completely ignore the medical advice of  an anonymous guy on a fuckboard who doesn't have a link to back up his claims?  You must be feeling a little reckless today.  LOL

So happy to announce I received my 2nd shit 2 weeks ago! Happy to be safe for myself and all my wonderful clients!

constipated.  Good for you!!!

While inflammation is the body’s normal response to a vaccine, Dr. Parkinson says it’s surprising how many swollen lymph nodes they’ve been seeing.

a whole cup size, its not going to get my attention.  Lol

...must you reply to every post on this board, pathetic lol!

no sense of humor?  It must really suck to be as serious as you.   I guess its because you drink the homemade cheap stuff, am I right?  

If I run into any B-cups this week on the hooker trail, I'm going to suggest they get vaccinated and then I will book for the next day to check out those swollen C-cups!!  I wonder if there is a way to extend the swelling for a few weeks?  What do you think?   That's the kind of "side-effect" you don't complain about.  LOL

This is very good news for folks into the covid-19 vaccines.

But how do you know you're allergic unless you take it,  
by then it's too late you tooken it.  
So what you get itchy for a while and then you're ok?  

They will have information about if your allergic. You can get some blood tests.

Anaphylaxis is the most common allergic reaction, IIRC. This is one bottleneck of rolling them out, as you have to wait around for 15 minutes after receiving the shot to make sure you don't react.

That’s when one’s rectum prolapses right?  That’s a long 15 minutes waiting for that to possibly happen.  A brutal line to be in too, I’m sure!  Please wait here for 15 minutes, and let us know if your asshole drops out of your body from that shot, thanks.

Wouldn't that actually be Analphylaxis instead??? lol

COVID rates are dropping fast in Wisconsin.  Back to April and late June levels.  It appears the trend is happening across most of the country.

I do not take medicines to prevent what is essentially equal to the seasonal flu, that is nee technology with exactly zero long term studies, with high occurrence of side effects and only 55% to 75% effective rates on granting immunity, with no evidence this immunity will last longer than a year or two. The vaccine was rushed for political reasons and has never been properly vetted. Besides, I have already had COVID-19. Dispute me being extremely high risk it was extremely mild. Catching the virus grants strong immunity to it then the vaccine so I am already better protected than the vaccine could grant. Besides there are already strains of the virus the vaccine does not protect against.  

Err, ex fat fuck. lol

catching COVID-19 was a none issue. I got tested because I was bored and it was free. I was shocked when it can back positive. I  had no real symptoms that I didn't dismiss as allergies.  I still think it was allergies more than COVID-19.  

MILLIONS and MILLIONS of people have already had it which makes contact tracing completely irrelevant at this point, I haven't been sick at all this year,(just like every other year) so I see getting tested as simply a waste of time and resources that could be going to someone else who might have a very good reason to get tested, such as people who live with or are often around elderly, at risk, friends or relatives.  

Did you really have covid?  THey cranked up the tests to avoid false negatives and as a result got a lot of false positives.  They did (I believe) eventually change the positive criteria to two positive tests AND symptoms.

Requiring COVID-19. I have many tests over a six month period showing active antibodies for the disease. So yes I am sure. I have 1 COVID-19 test and 24 antibody test say I did. I never felt sick. Felt like spring always does with my hay fever. But apparently a majority have light or no symptoms who catch the disease. Only surprising thing with my fairly recent fight with late stage cancer, asthma, and diabetes I was one of them. COVID-19 is supposed to hospitalize or kill people like me according to the news. Guess not.

Done and done. Sorry for the rest of the country's slow pace but here in NYC  we are getting shit done. I almost know more people vaccinated than not at this point. Woohoo

Yeah, fewer people in nursing homes needing the vaccines anymore.  Ba-dum-tiss

NY State is 38th place in percentage of population vaccinated, compared to other states.

I already got my first shot for the covid-19 shot (I will get my second shot on the 20th of this month).  

...on Sunday here in southern OR. Yay

until they get to the under 65 group.  Lol

fucking way to go for the vaccine.  Don't they have any place closer where you can get it?  

About 65 million years older by his count I believe. lol

Nah, I'm 67 million years old now...had a couple of birthdays

Update: got my first shot of Pfizer vaccine today...yay!

chemotherapy cures cancer.

I just got vaccinated today. Was given the choice of Pfizer or J&J. VA is offering vaccines to all vets, whether they get care from VA or other providers. Worth looking into if you haven’t been vaccinated yet.

over 60 before I qualified as a vet.  Go  figure.  Which one did you choose?

I decided to go with Pfizer for the higher efficacy, but mostly because the location administering Pfizer was more convenient to me.

On April 1st everyone over 50 can get the immunization.
