No harm, no foul. Scary for the recipient though.

Worth knowing that major overdoses are not necessarily harmful. I would not be surprised if they were understating the potential consequences.

Now they saying to wear a mask again. I think they should say this instead:

Kids are going back to school in 2-3 weeks but kids under 12 can't get a vaccine. But they are required to go back to school unvaccinated and risk catching it?

My wife had Pfizer #2 48 hours ago. She has been dead tired, feverish and sore.

Or . . . we could say, if you are concerned about COVID, get the vaccine, if you are not, you accept the risk for yourself, and we all move on with life.



Kids 12 and under have statistically next to zero risk from COVID. If the concern is for their health, no reason to mandate either wearing masks or getting a COVID vaccine.

Who's more cowardly - a vax dodger, a DRAFT dodger, or a MASK WHINER?

Because apparently these days getting a shot or wearing a mask is both more risky than going to war, AND more of a "Violation of My Constitutional Rights"...

I do get vaccine hesitancy, especially without full FDA approval. I myself hesitated until just last month over that. But when I saw that half of America had got it, and that 95+% of hospitalizations and deaths were now among the unvaccinated I realized it was time for me to stop being a COWARD about it.

The same people who fear the vax so much are the same people who'll label a draft dodger a coward.

So what's THEIR excuse with THIS?

Do they really think going to war is less risky???

Man, right as I'm getting excited about returning to small-venue Rock shows, I'm reading in my local paper that we're going down the crapper again...

Dammit.

My wife is a pharmacist at a hospital and she recently told me they now have about 80 COVID patients.

I have bought Roger Waters tickets for July 8th 2022. Fingers crossed.

Wishing you good luck. I had Charlie Daniels tickets for last June, canceled due to COVID. Then he died.

Agreed. "I'll take my chances" should include taking your chances dealing with the disease on your own!!!

Probably not as much as me- it is my career-lighting op/tech in UK- officially the country is now allowed to do gigs, still another couple of weeks to my first 'proper' gig-been a crazy last month as events 'go away' and others pop up. The old adage "you didn't do the gig until the cheque clears" has never been truer.

My cousin's band has made a pretty good side hustle over the last 30 years playing bars, the local casino's, corporate events, weddings, street festivals, art fairs, etc.. He hasn't done any of that in a long time now. He is just a few years older than me (56), and he has decided to just hang it up. Just not enough work out there anymore.

I do not blame those who refused to be vaccinated, nor consider them cowards or traitors.

Consider that...

For four years they were lied to, nonstop by the media, their Congressional representatives, tech corporations and public servants about their President.

For the last year they were lied to, nonstop, about treatments, origins, efficacies, masks and more.

Only to see the tune change at regime change.


Why should they trust anyone? The average person might not be that smart, but they do possess common sense, and the ability to sniff out liars. That they refuse to be vaccinated is not on them, but on the media, the tech corporations and the Congress. This is their disaster that they created, not one that the people are spreading because "conspiracy theory" or ignorance.


They frankly don't know what to believe anymore because their trust in the system has been destroyed.


I say this having been vaccinated myself. This is a personal decision, not one you get to demand someone obey and do as you insist. And if they do not, you do not get to look down upon them and hold your nose high. Consider why they have chosen their choice, instead, and look for the real truths rather than slap a quick label on them.

Ok, this is getting a bit too political.

Talk COVID and try to leave the politics out of it.

When I got my first Moderna shot, my arm was sore for a few days, and I was a little tired for about a day, but that was it. Second shot was similar, but not quite as bad. For reference, about a week ago, I got a shingles vaccine shot, and it was a little worse than the Moderna shots, so I don't think there's a lot of difference between the COVID vaccines and other similar types of vaccines, and it just affects different people differently.

I'll be getting my second shot (Pfizer) on August 7th. Wish me luck!

Hope all goes well for you PM.Getting my second shot Aug. 18th

me too on the same day, my first one was Astrazenica though
