"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust

Aunt bragging time - this is the vaccination program in Minnesota Niece Elizabeth has been working on: https://kstp.com/news/walz-visits-mo...field/6088553/
They are using transit buses to take the vaccine to people instead of having people come to the vaccine.
Well, world-renowned epidemiologist Joe Rogan doesn't think young people should get vaccinated.
Wait, hold it, I goofed. He's a comedian.
Unfortunately, his podcast is reportedly listened to by millions. And here we are.
Larson was a visionary. Everyone's an expert nowadays.

Took my kid yesterday (Pfizer) and wife today (Moderna) for their second jabs. Kid had no trouble. We'll see about wife.
Looking forward to having a life again!

Pfizer dose one was a breeze (nothing but a slightly sore arm for both my wife and I). Pfizer dose two was a different story. My wife was exhausted, achy, feverish and nauseous. I received my shot the following day and traded the nausea for a severe headache. We each made it through our challenging recovery day and were feeling fine within about 24 hours. I'll admit to the side effects being worse than I expected. After being in bed all day yesterday, I also will admit to having feelings of euphoria as I walked our dog through the neighborhood today and thought about upcoming travel opportunities. We're off to visit our grandchild and my parents next month! By all means, get vaccinated if you haven't. Something tells me there's no need to say that on this forum.
The 16 and 18 year olds survived their first shot of Pfizer. We are now 48 hours out and seem to be back to normal. Nothing but "I just feel like I got hit by a truck." That's about it.
"That young man has an extra step on his ladder the rest of us just don't have."
I’m a week out from getting my first finally. Still getting somewhat wishy washy guidance about my pregnant wife. Our medical system actively recommended against getting vaccinated during the first trimester based on the lack of trial data but that seems to be shifting as she progresses so we’ll see on her.
Our 26-year-old son got his second dose of Moderna yesterday. Has a headache and a very sore arm. I'm a bit surprised, since he tested positive for antibodies back in September, and I thought that maybe the first shot would be the one where he'd have a significant reaction.
The side effects some folks feel during the first few days after vaccination are due to the microchips being slow to latch onto the arm bone. Once attached, the symptoms should go away. 😜
