    What rubs me the wrong way is that there are LOTS of eligible Trumpers around here who need the vaccine but are absolutely refusing to get it.  I don't feel the least bit guilty about jumping in line and taking one of their dumbfuck turns.  My county went from not being able to schedule an appointment 6 weeks ago unless you were 65 & had cancer to supply now far exceeding demand.

    Exactly. And it's only going to get worse and be the reason herd immunity will be tough to reach. Not trying to be a rain cloud, but everyone's elated by how well we've been vaxing (and we certainly have!) but the marginal return on that is going to slow down big time (as it has already started). Messaging, communication, and outreach need to ramp up big time.

    It won't be long until everyone else stops wearing masks and those antiva people are going to be in for a nasty surprise.

    Pfizer here in Toronto
    Canada’s hotspot. Hope you are holding up through the lockdown. 
    Glad to hear you got the vaccine. Thoughts are with my fellow Canadians out east. My wife’s family lives up highway 69
    Trying to stay positive here. Trying to not let the people who are constantly focusing on just the negative get to me. I have my health, my family,  a job and the hope that we will make it through this even if it means putting other things on hold for the short term.

    I read that US is holding tens of millions of AZ vaccines, which aren't even approved for use here. I have no idea why we aren't exporting these. We have enough Pfizer/Moderna for the whole country and we also will resume J&J soon. We are also soon going to run out of willing vaccine takers due to the massive MAGA/Antiva presence.

    Correct. It’s around 20 million or so

    Somehow our Philly teams have managed to play against all those Toronto teams in playoff series. A couple rough endings for us...

    Staying positive is the only way! Keep your chin up pal.

    12 days past my 2nd Moderna injection and I still struggle with some fatigue.  I'm not anti-vacc, but I'm wary of them.  And I think for good reason.  Sure would like to feel more normal again.

    That's crazy.  I had zero side effects, not even sore arm.  Still worth it, my friend.  Now you can hang out on corners with your MAGA flags and not worry about it.  When in Rome....

    Just the thought of doing that lifts my spirits!  I wonder, if I were to happen to see Marjorie Taylor Greene and I ran up and kissed her on the lips, do you suppose she would mind? :heart:

    Got my 1st Pfizer dose yesterday.  Arm is pretty sore but other than that I feel fine.  Hopefully it's the same for the 2nd dose in 3 weeks...

    Got my Pfizer #2 yesterday.  24 hours later all I've experienced is a sore arm.

    My wife had a tough 24 hours after the first AstrZeneca shot. Spent much of the day in bed with very little energy. Much better today though.

    No vaccines would be needed, just a lobotomy!
