JeffLeonard posted:Thanks. I'm not sure of your age, but I am assuming this fellow is under 40. I'm not sure what the deal is with the other posters quoting me, but under 40, fully vaxxed and dying from Covid is an EXTREME long shot. Yes it sure is. Approx 5 thousand have died in the US under 40 since this whole thing began, when there were no vaccinations at all. I know this because I tried to talk someone into getting vaxed who is late 30s. I was surprised at how low that number was. Of course I'm totally pro vax and still mask etc Spinz fucked around with this message at 22:35 on May 8, 2021 |

Buckwheat Sings posted:Long term effects are still unknown. Its also scary that the lungs of someone who got covid looks like they took a shotgun blast compared to a smoker. Same with their hearts. Absolutely. I have hardly been outside since March 13 of 2020 besides solo exercising, never unmasked etc never to a grocery store, restaurant ANYTHING

CaptainSarcastic posted:I don't know for sure how it works, but there may be a critical threshold for how many or how rigorous the reports need to be for inclusion on the list of side effects. Like, a metallic taste in the mouth is apparently a rare but known side effect that as far as I know doesn't show up on official side effect lists. Wow I got that after the first shot but not the second!

Drunk Driver Dad posted:I'm about 1.5 weeks post 2nd Moderna dose. I got a bit of a fever and the usual tiredness after it. I've been trying to get back into my lifting routine and my knee has been hurting and giving me a lot of poo poo, and my back is as well to a lesser degree. I normally don't get this kind of thing, and haven't even been trying to lift hard/heavy. Do you guys think it's possible I just have some extra inflammation from the immune response to the vaccine that's causing this that will resolve itself eventually? I have no medical background. I do think it's possible take it easy. If it is some kind of inflammation it will resolve itself and it won't take months or anything, just a few more weeks, that is my guess.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:That's dumb and not what it is. Bodies don't actually fall apart in your 30s so bad you can't do any physical activity, it's usually from inactivity and other lifestyle factors that people like to blame on age. I was just trying to figure out if it was vaccine related or not. Serious post you should post your question in the little goon doctor subforum. It's slow but many genuinely knowledgeable people post in there I'm serious, and it's obviously really bothering you take a look you have nothing to lose. And also in here this thread is specifically about vaccination https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3963826 Good luck goon!

Yea I think that could have been meant well. I was glad to see it too. CMON people. This morning I went to the cspam covid thread and in 5 minutes I was starting to get chest tightness from anxiety. I had to leave. Living in Georgia and seeing grieving families- the frustration at the cognitive dissonance (if that's the right term) I can't imagine how hard that is and I know I couldn't handle it. I'm glad that burden is being shared so Fluffy Bunny gets a break and I look forward to seeing everyones posts in here.

How can they continue to get it wrong swinging wildly one way and then another It's a little too soon who knows what's going on in the background gently caress I've lost all faith in yhe CDC and WHO. I don't know where to get good science information and I certainly don't have time to comb through a million articles!! Or the passwords etc. Another reason this thread is so valuable!

For the most part we're not going to be able to change anyone's mind on an individual basis. The only way I see that happening realistically is like you know withholding visits from your children or something.

Rescue Toaster posted:Looks like retailers such as costco are following the CDC and saying as long as you promise you're really vaccinated (nobody will question you and you don't have to prove it) you can go without masks now. I expect this will be the norm everywhere in the next month. My understanding is a half mask respirator which is like $50 will protect you. Of course I'm not at all saying this is okay in slightest just that you don't need some thousand dollar thing to go to the store

Facebook Aunt posted:Got pfizer yesterday, only had a bit of a sore arm but I kept moving it so today that was gone. Sitting here feeling smug about no real side effects. Then I noticed on thigh is sore. I didn't do anything unusual with my legs yesterday, and if I had it would be both thighs, right? Doublecheck the side effects list and "muscle soreness" is there. Kinda expected that one to be more general than one large muscle in my thigh. ??? I'm glad you got vaxed The side effects seem to be all over the place I think it's general inflammation so I think nothing's off the table I think I had side effects in my gums for goodness sakes

Skrill.exe posted:When you go to the airport you need to put all of your liquids in a little baggy. They all need to be in containers of 3 oz. or less. Then you wait in a big long line to be fondled by an agency specifically set up to fondle air travelers. You take your shoes off, belt off, and put your electronics in one tray and everything else in the other. They put you into a big glass tube where the person can see through your clothes and peep your wiener. You exit the tube and put on your shoes/belt etc. When you bought your ticket you paid an extra $10 to cover the cost of this service. All because 3,000 people were killed 20 years ago. Yep Osama bin laden won

wilderthanmild posted:The 1 million lottery in Ohio is working pretty well as our vaccination numbers are picking up again. I'd wished they'd done more prizes rather than just 5 million dollar giveaways. Something like 250 20k prizes or 100 50k prizes seems like it would get more people in the door than just a few million dollar winners. You are completely right and the key is they would misunderstand the odds but it would be greatly in the favor of people being interested and getting vaccinated. You could have so very many 50k prizes and that's life-changing for the majority of people. (50 chances out of say 3 million or whatever isn't much greater than one chance out of 3 million or whatever but a lot of people will think they have 50 times greater a chance to win, and that is what they would focus on rather than the overall longshot odds) Spinz fucked around with this message at 20:25 on May 20, 2021 |

We had half a million at the very minimum die India is on fire Being anything but extremely grateful for safety of those who are vaccinated in the US is heinous. Hand wringing over a tiny bit of breakthrough cases just feels wrong to me. It's sad on an individual level but the focus should be on trying to get the ignorant vaccinated and now saving millions if not billions in the rest of the world.

I'll always regret more people didn't sneak their phones in and then blur out faces and show dying people frankly. Anyway poor India oh my God

Fluffy Bunnies posted:You're wrong and this is why breakthrough cases are such an issue. I've been vaccinated for a month and have no intention of living my life any differently than I have been for the past year for a very long while, because every other dicknoser and non-vaxxed liar are doing the same. And I don't want to be part of that what is it, like 0.03% who get breakthrough covid? Whatever it is, I'd rather bank a few more months of being cautious and watching other idiots get covid through their vaccines than be one of those idiots getting it. Argh I'm more likely to hurt myself or someone else driving on the freeway now

You absolutely have the right to still wear a mask and I will not judge anything you do. I still wear a half-mask respirator inside buildings just because I bought one a while ago and I own it and then I don't have to worry at all. What I object to is telling other people that are vaccinated that they should continue to quarantine and wear a mask always. It's a waste of time and not where the focus should be!!

Purgatory Glory posted:Our news was talking about the incentives that the US has put into place like lottery, super bowl tickets etc. They talking about the efficacy of these programs and whether they would work. There people who actually think that the lottery thing is bad because it could trigger gamblers if they are automatically entered into a draw. Give me a break. If that's holding up even 10 people from Getting vaccinated I choose to throw the gamblers into a pit of some sort. Well it could frankly but who gives a poo poo. Degenerate gamblers are barely human. (I was one, am one, depends how you look at it. Stopped about 10 years ago)

Also it really matters that you don't have to take any action to be entered. At least it's that way in California. It would be the ACT that is really triggering if you're going to get triggered like if everyone got some kind of scratch card or whatever you had to do something. Someone that much on a knife edge is going to get triggered anyway the stuff's everywhere

satanic splash-back posted:Something the glass-half-empty crew misses too is the fact that pretty much everyone said this isn't going anywhere quickly, and you might just have to accept this is a danger of leaving your home. There's a lot of dangers that can leave lasting damage from leaving your home. Lyme disease from ticks, the plague, cancer from exposure to chemicals and other things. Exactly. I'm trying to be a beacon of hope here. Driving your car is more dangerous if you are fully vaxed in the US and under what 70? 75?
