Viruses / Vaccines

Its not really i feel  ok about it. But i feel  like  no choice. On the scale of life. I have 4 kids and  dont  like how the  present and future looks

Sorry my post was not meant to be your wrong and I am right with our ways of thinking but to say you are ok never seeing a live show again is a long ass time.

Could not imagine being ok without seeing live shows again. I will be at every PJ concert I can attend from here on out. 

I am vaccinated.  Covid is here to stay.  I am going to concerts.  If I die I won’t be alive to know it.  The world will keep spinning.  I will have joined the ranks of the billions and billions that have come before and won’t be spending the rest of my days hiding from people.

Does anybody here that is vaccinated (which seems to be everyone based on that poll I posted a week or two ago) actually ask others if they are or aren't vaccinated? For example, your friend invites you over and there's a few people there you don't know. Are you concerned with whether or not they're vaccinated? Or are you asking the friend if there's going to be non-vaccinated people there before you even decided on attending? One of the primary reasons I got vaccinated was so I wouldn't have to be bothered with that stuff. 

Sure I do.  I want to know if they are a mouth breathing moron or not

Yes I ask.  Too many children around that can’t get vaccinated and with breakthrough cases/new variant no one is really 100% safe. My sister-in-law said she won’t get the booster shot so I told her I wouldn’t be seeing her probably for a very long time.  I don’t believe it’s intrusive to ask.  Wouldn’t you want to know if this was a plague or Ebola? When it comes to pandemics I don’t think prevention should be a choice.  

If you can still get it vaccinated or not, I don't see the difference in hanging out with someone whom is or isn't vaccinated.

Well in my case all the little relatives are under 12 so not vaccinated.  There’s a reason they’re telling us to get boosters which tells me if you don’t you have a higher chance of being reinfected/having a breakthrough.  I guess instead of giving us mega doses to begin with better to be safe than sorry and give booster later if needed.  IDK. This is a first go round for this disease which is why it should be taken more seriously and those trying to save all of us should be cut some slack. We have no clue what’s next so how can they. 

Yes, this is so important to remember. The guidance changed as scientists gained a better understanding of the novel (new!) virus. Remember wiping down packages and groceries?

We get a flu shot annually -- as I think I mentioned before, I missed one year out of the last thirty or so, and ended up regretting it. So I will not be surprised if a covid shot is needed annually for a while, until the virus evolves into something more benign like a cold or immunity is better understood, or established, or whatever.

Reading this the first picture that comes to mind is when Jeff got his copy of Gigaton and was spraying and wiping it.  Did he also have gloves and glasses on?  And didn’t someone drop it off at his door and then left it?  It seems so clear in my mind but I can’t remember it all. (God hope it wasn’t a dream)
So thinking back things have gotten better for those of us who’ve followed the suggested guidelines.  With so many being vaccinated and so few having severe reactions to those vaccines wouldn’t you think even the simplest minded people would finally understand that it’s safe?  I mean I know the answer but doesn’t the real news ever get to these people?  I’m starting to think they’re either aliens or they were abducted and tampered with cause it just doesn’t make sense. Just kidding about the alien stuff

if even they boo trump for saying to get the vaccine, that tells you something. they are too far gone on this issue, they won't even follow the turd on it. 

You’re right.  Didn’t he even tell them to get the vaccine?  They are in their own little world.

I don’t know that I would call it hiding. I figure people weigh the risks for themselves and make their choices based on that.

I hope that is all you get. I got both shingles vaccines last year and had no side effects besides the sore arm. So I hope the same for you. Good luck. 

Same here. I was good after two days. But OW!
