Covid-19: Vax Americana

After Jinavirus we need to start worrying about Nijavirus.

US health officials are monitoring more than 200 people for potential exposure to monkeypox, after an individual who contracted the disease in Nigeria returned to Texas in July.

 

Certainly worked well for Aleksandar Katai (and his wife) last year!
It managed to get Sen. Tom Cotton to talk about him!
Oh, wait.

Lest we have forgotten (not that anything else has happened in the past 14 months or so), from CNN:

The Los Angeles Galaxy "mutually agreed to part ways" with midfielder Aleksandar Katai on Friday after the MLS club learned that Katai's wife shared "racist and violent" social media posts.

Today we stand at 49.1% of the US population fully vaccinated.

For reference, Ecuador today is at about 45% with at least one dose. The new govt there has a 100 day plan of 9 million** (51% of the population) fully vaxxed by Sept 7, 2021. It looks possible.




**Over 1 million vaccines were donated by the USA with another million coming later.

 

You have to assume that people who have had one dose are thinking about a second.

If the danger is great enough, the backtalk stops. And the danger is great enough for seniors who get COVID-19.

 

Why?

 

My home province now at 65% of adults fully vaxxed and 61% of those 12 or older fully vaxxed.

We're about 82% with one dose and inching towards our goal of 85% but the last few percent are proving very difficult.

We're seeing an uptick in numbers again (Delta driven), but 94% of new cases are among those not yet fully vaccinated.

 

Because it's a commitment.

 

In what way? Nobody puts a gun to your head and forces you to take round 2.

 

Wow. If he didn't stand straight tf up and condemn her, wife or not, he has no business in my country's league. Glad to see him gone back to the Eastern European shithole he came from.

We may not be on top of the table, but you'd best bet your ass United would have vetted that sonofabitch and his ********piece and he'd never have made it to the Benz...

 

I think it's fair to assume that if you were non-trumpy enough to get the first dose, there really isn't a way for a conservative to slither round and convince you that you ought not get the second...

 

old people dgaf who wipes their asses. This should kind of be expected.

 

Maybe the ones that didn't get the vaccination are dead.

 

Let's check with Roby

 

Well my wife has not been mobile for almost 20 yrs so I have experience in that. You do what you gotta do!

 

I've known a few people who got dose #1 and decided not to get dose #2. The most common reason was unhappiness at the side effects of dose #1 and the conventional wisdom that the reaction to dose #2 is usually worse.

 

A conventional wisdom that, by the way, is false: I had mild effects after dose #1, no effects whatsoever after dose #2.

 

Fair enough... I decided that the side effects wouldn't be as bad as having COVID itself, so I went for both with few concerns about effects. I hope the people you know are still alive.

Had some pain after the initial shot, but nothing after the second dose.

 

Everyone is different. As I said previously my sister and her husband both got full blown Covid after their second AZ dose. It was like a bad dose of flu.

 

Which Vaccine did you have? I've had one dose of Astrazenica and am booked in for my second dose in 4 weeks.

 

I had Astra-Zeneca too, but, according to the people I heard about, the side-effects have a wild range of variations. What I wanted to point out was that the assumption that the second dose always have worse effects is undoubtedly false, because I, for instance, had no effect from the second dose. But I know people who had, with the same vaccine.
