I thought it might be helpful to have a separate topic related to the vaccine.  If this is too much duplication, mods please delete this thread.  I thought it would be good to talk about who can get the vaccine, where they can get it, what side effects people are seeing, and in general what is going on with distribution.

The CDC has published vaccine distribution guidelines, and if you care, they are worth reading.  They are dividing the timeline into:

  • Phase 1 - Potentially limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine doses available
  • Phase 2 - Large number of vaccine doses available
  • Phase 3 - Sufficient supply of vaccine doses for entire population

Who you are will determine if you are eligible for a vaccine in the various phases.

Phase 1 is divided into a Phase 1a and a Phase 1b:

  • Phase 1a - Mostly healthcare workers
  • Phase 1b - Other essential workers, people with higher risks, people over 65

If you are eligible to get the vaccine and they have in in stock and you want to get it, it is important to go get it.  Both of the first two vaccines can spoil, so if a dose is sitting there and you aren't there to get it, they might have to throw it away.

Both vaccines require two shots.  It is important to go get that second shot.

Who fits in phase 1b and who has to wait until phase 2 might be a sticking point.  The "people in higher risks" category includes a lot of folks, maybe more than you would think might be in that category.  Hopefully we can quickly get to phase 2 so that we don't spend too long arguing about who is or is not in Phase 1b.

Anyway, I'm interested in everyone's experience with the vaccine and especially getting the word out for those that can go get it, so that every dose ends up in an arm rather than in the trash.

Hey so can you help  me out with some advice? I initially got vaccinated with J&J in March and participated in the Texas cares study where I found my antibody count at 315 in August. So in late August, I got a Moderna shot by lying and saying I wasn't vaccinated. So now I'm reading that it is a good thing to change up like I did, but here is my question. I held off taking the second Moderna thinking that my antibody number is probably better and I can take second Moderna later to keep the count up. My next covid test for the study is next month, should I hold off after getting that info or should I get the second shot now?

Also, I'm hearing that the booster isn't going to be Iike the first shots but  that they are going to be different, I should get the second now, right?

I would get the 2nd now if you are 4 weeks out from your first.  For anyone who got J&J, I would just start over with Moderna because it's so much less effective.

Liver and kidney failure. She had to be careflighted from Tyler to Baylor Medical ICU in Dallas. She recovered but it was very serious and she almost didn't survive the first couple of days. Around 33 years old, very healthy/fit, and no health issues.

I was being a smart ass, because that's what people do. And it's infuriating. Take one out of context clip from a 180 minute interview and use it to prove their point that vaccine = bad and baby Jesus offers better protection. 

I'll edit to add the "both sides" clause. Dudes like Rex Chapman do this kind of shit all of the time, as well. Context is completely lost in the world we live in, unfortunately.

Speaking only for myself and what I would do, I'd just finish the Moderna series and act like JNJ never happened moving forward. 

 

LOL at the Texas Cares study though.  Unless they make some changes to their survey questions about what vaccines an individual has taken, and provides a lot of off the label options, their biostatistician is going to lose their fucking mind when they get their hands on the dataset.

BIG sample, yada, yada.  There's likely to be some followup surveys by email if they do any significant subgroup analyses and don't have enough clarity in the collected data.

If their stats people can't handle all this, they need to pack up their SAS programs and move along.

It should be a pretty compelling set of data once they complete the data collection. Went to their website and looks like they have updated the survey tool to consider booster admin.

Can I participate if I have received or plan to receive a COVID-19 vaccine booster?

Yes! Our survey has been updated to capture booster information. For most accurate results, it is best to wait at least 14 days after your booster to get your antibody test.

Let me help you out with this because you don’t know what you’re talking about. 
 

In very rare cases, a vaccine that induces a strong immune response can, In theory, cause such an inflammatory response that essentially a cytokine storm results. You could then end up with SIRS which can cause multi organ failure, such as what Immortal’s friend might have experienced. It’s safe to assume that when she showed up crashing they worked her up for an infectious cause and based on the timeline and presentation that was Doctors diagnosis. Most of the most serious reactions (GBS, tranverse myelitis, thrombosis) are not surprisingly related to similar perturbations of the immune system after vaccination. Again, extremely rare. 

Maybe you should stick to things you know more about, such as “accidentally” hanging out with groups  of old racist buddies in your spare time.

Whatever. You are here to provide us with anti vax propaganda and you continue to do so on at least your third handle. Nobody should listen to one word you say since you have already helped kill thousands of people with your bullshit.
 

Maybe you should just go shopping at the nearest wal mart in San Antonio since you claim to prefer that to shopping at HEB.

Anybody that neg reps a scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off is obviously having a shitty day.  I'm not saying you need an encyclopedic knowledge of John Hughes' films, but his first clue I was being farcical was the term 'heartless wench.'  I mean, I get we're all trying to get vaccine information/disinformation crammed into our narrow narrative, but c'mon...it's Ferris Bueller.  Live a little.  Immortal seems funny sometimes, other times he seems like he's an even less fun Edward Rooney.
