How are you feeling Doc? My wife got the second Moderna last Monday. She felt pretty achy and woozy if she was up and about too much Tuesday. Got better each day after. All in all from what I've heard, she wasn't too bad off.

After the first Pfizer shot, my arm was sore the next day, very little soreness the 2nd day, and no soreness after that. So far, this one doesn't have any soreness at all.

Supposedly older folks have lower immunity, their bodies can't fight back as hard against the vaccine as younger people. Therefore the symptoms of the vaccine are lessened for elderly.

I can't wait to get mine. The earliest phase I can hope for is the Stage where Arizona does people with pre existing conditions or whatever. Which seems to be the second-to-last priority, even after 55 and older! (A little surprising?).

Things I look forward to stop doing once I get the vaccine:

- Washing my groceries by hand using disinfectant
- Being yelled at to wash my hands every time I walk in the door of my house
- Giving people "elbow bumps" (I miss my aim half the time and almost fell down once!)

It does seem odd that people with underlying conditions are that low. Presumably they're at higher risk than healthy 55 year olds. My step daughter is in the same boat here.

Hey, I spray my shopping packages wtih anti-bacterial spray! I'm finding that few people do it though. My take on it is that you only have one life, so why take a risk?
 
It is kind of an interesting case study in concepts of major catastrophic situations vs. capitalism.
There is a lot of room in between "Everything they do related to covid should be done for free" and "Everything they do related to covid should maximize profits as much as the market will bear".

My biggest concern is the 2nd and 3rd world countries. I hope all interested humans get a reasonable opportunity to get the vaccine ASAP.
 
A naive outlook Issac! My cynicism POV says this whole thing was manufactured to foster dependence, obedience and first and foremost, profit.
 
I would call it a compassionate outlook. Note: I didn't say I thought all interested humans would get their opportunity, merely that I hope they do.
Hope is a far cry from faith. LOL

I'm actually with you on that POV - especially obedience and dependence.
 
I had my vaccination yesterday, and felt fine all day. Then during the night I got really bad shivers, a bit like when you get the flu and can't stop shaking. Kept going to the loo too, like Uncle. Had a bad headache this morning, and still got it. Slept badly. However, although I feel a bit grotty, it is no worse than having a cold and I will be better in about a day. I am a little down on energy, say to a 7/10. My arm doesn't hurt at all.

The nurse said that the older you are, the less likely you are to feel bad symptoms. @AccessBlaster mentioned about the immune response earlier in the thread, where older people have weaker immune systems, and therefore a less severe response. So, I am kinda pleased and kinda not pleased that I have had medium level symptoms from the vaccine!
 
They have to be careful with youngsters their immune systems are the opposite of older folks.
 
Why is it bad to call the Covid-19 Wuhan, but it's perfectly ok to call the variants UK, African or some other country?
Asking for a friend.

Once you give up your freedoms, they are never coming back.

Easy to reproduce these "freedom tickets". Can't crush the human spirit. Soon we will all be free!;)

Interesting artical about what government can and can't do. It's a bit longish, but worth the read.
