    Interesting that the bottom scroll of the game now shows a headline that NBA players don't want to do a PSA for the vaccine because of "apprehension" about the vaccine. Woj also says players "could" receive a vaccine starting in late March.

    NBA is now trying to get medical professionals to convince.

    This attitude is dismaying, to say the least.

    NPR has jumped into the "finding a vaccine location" fray with their own web helper.

    Here.

    I tried it and found a Walmart nearby that had appointments available.

    Had my second shot yesterday morning and yesterday evening I began to ache. Still miserable but feel fortunate to have had both shots.

    Have you read the whole article? Their position makes more sense if you read it through the lens of a minority.

    I haven't even read part of it -- I was responding to BlueDog's post.

    I had my second Pfizer shot Friday morning. 48 hours later, my only significant side effect has been an extremely sore arm (which still hurts). Other very mild side effects have included an off and on headache, slight body aches, and fatigue. All easily controlled by Tylenol. I also haven’t slept very well the past 2 nights.

    I had similar side effects after the first shot. All mild and well worth it.

    Got my second Moderna shot yesterday, about 4:30 PM (first shot was on Jan 24). No symptoms at all for first couple of hours. Arm started to hurt where injected later in the night. Slept well... no other symptoms except for the sore arm. This morning, still only the sore arm... otherwise felt good... even went on my normal 1 hour walk (while listening to the DBR Podcast, of course).

    If I can recall correctly, I think the pain and stiffness in the arm after this second shot is a bit more painful than with the first shot. By the way, I am 71.

    36 hours now since second Moderna and I’ve developed a 100 degree temperature. Second Tylenol cured the headache but the body aches are still with me as I build antibodies.

    My son got his first shot yesterday. My son's disability group had just been downgraded from Group 2 ("high risk") to Group 4 ("everybody else"), which runs counter to the available data, so when we had a video checkup with the doctor, my wife was complaining about that. His doctor asked if we'd be available to take leftover dose at the end of the day on a moment's notice, and we said of course. So yesterday, I was busy when my wife took the call, so she and my son hustled off to the office. It turns out that had more than on spare dose, so she was able to get one, too.

    Neither has reported any side effects from dose number one. I, however, am now suffering from vaccine envy.

    This *might* be due to the injection itself and not the vaccine. My wife got the influenza vaccine in October and her arm still hurts with certain movements. She blames the employee health nurse's technique and/or location of the shot.
    [redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.

    Well apologies if I didn't provide full context. I was just relaying what is basically equivalent to a short tweet on ESPN's bottom line during the game. When I Google it, here's the whole Woj piece:
    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...virus-vaccines

    "Sources describe a number of factors contributing to many players' reluctance to participate, including uncertainty about taking the vaccine themselves, reluctance to advocate its use for others and resistance to extending favors to a league amid the largely unpopular plans for an All-Star Game...

    "The NBA has been working to educate teams and players on the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, including mandatory team seminars with Dr. Leroy Sims, the league's senior vice president of medical affairs.

    "The NBA has done vaccine PSAs with Hall of Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, but there's a strong belief the league's top players -- many of whom who are Black -- can impact many more in Black and Brown communities, which have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic."

    One year, they had newbies doing flu shots where I work. The child giving me mine had NEVER before given a shot in a human. She was acting like she was going to throw a dart, moving the needle back and forth like she was aiming. I tensed, she gave me the shot, and it hurt like no other flu vaccine ever should. Because I tensed. These are intramuscular, like a tetanus, so they are more likely to leave your arm sore, but you should always try to let your arm hang as loosely and relaxed as possible. Then exercise your arm throughout the day after the shot.

    They never used newbies again, thinking they had some complaints . . .

    People need experience. You just don't want to be the test subject. I have a story I will share in the LTE.

    It could be much worse... she could have blamed you.
