Very cool, great to have you posting ITT. Areas near me are begging for people, too much vaccine not enough people to give it to at this point. I have the second dose of an on-site clinic scheduled at work on Monday and Tuesday (Moderna). No adverse reactions last time other than a few people coming to tell me their arm hurt the next day. Although I know several people who have had short duration flu symptoms, most of them had also tested positive w/in the last year. In my own small sample, it seems post infection immunity (whether they knew they had it or not) might play a role in the cases of vaccine sides. That also seems to fit with symptoms being more prevalent in 2nd dose since antibodies would already be present. While I have not been vaccinated (my own post infection immunity experiment) I try to explain to people the risk of the vaccine vs the greater risk (while still low for most) of the virus. I hope there is some good that comes from this in terms of preparedness for the next one, which might not be as “mild”.

It's odd, in the UK they stopped doing regular tetanus jabs for adults (still do it for kids). If you get bad road rash or step on a nail they'll probably give a shot otherwise it's not done. The reasoning is that it's become so rare. Since it lingers in soil that makes no sense to me. One of those "it worked so well, we stopped doing it" mistakes I think... Interesting you guys in US are doing it proactively

I tell it like it is, if you want smoke blown up your ass or something sugar coated. I suggest you get a Hooker and a powdered donut.

I’ve heard the same thing from a vet years ago about rabies vaccine for dogs, he said probably need two in their lives 5-7 years between. They have 3 year shots now. Rabies is nearly 100% fatal in people though if untreated soon after infection. There have only been a handful of people survive if prophylactic vaccination isn’t done soon after the bite/scratch. One survival case was a young girl in Wisconsin that I wrote a paper on. You can actually get rabies just handling a dead bat. They use their claws to preen themselves with saliva, and a scratch from the claw of a dead infectious bat is enough to do it. I used to be pretty careful handling animals when I trapped for fur, there’s more than a few diseases you can get from raccoons, coyotes etc. while trapping, skinning, fleshing etc.
Tetanus is typically scheduled every ten IIRC, but they’ll do a booster in 5 if someone gets a rusty metal gash.Last edited by Plateauplower; 05-08-2021 at 08:22 AM.

Rust doesn't cause tetanus, the reason people associate with tetanus is because people step on nails on the ground. Tetanus can live in soil for many years and can be transmitted into any wound if you come in contact with it.

My daughter woke up with a cough and sore throat last night/early this morning. We were supposed to go visit my wife’s mom and grandma, but instead will be getting my daughter a rapid covid test so the rest of us can continue to do our stuff (work, school, etc.). If it turns out she tests positive, I’d probably get vaccinated today because I caught what I believe was covid from her in January of 20. She was the outbreak monkey being the first to have symptoms and everyone but my son had symptoms afterwords (wife’s 93 yo grandmother was later hospitalized with “pneumonia”).

Had my vaccine yesterday. I thought long and hard about it because normally I don't like interferring with my body's natural ability to take care of itself. But I don't want to take 2 weeks off work if I get COVID and I'd feel really guilty if I passed it on to my parents. In the UK most people over the age of 35 seem to be getting the Oxford AstraZeneca shot, which I'm more comfortable with.
Anyway after getting the shot I went to the gym and did some squats and deadlifts - felt fine all day. 12 hours later, all of a sudden it's like someone flicked a switch and I had chills and my shoulder was really painful. I went bed and don't feel 100% today, but suspect I'll be over it by tomorrow.
The injection site in the shoulder has a dull ache, and last night my whole arm felt kind of heavy. It's kind of like a cross between DOMS and if something struck you really hard in the shoulder and caused a bruise (although there is no bruising).

Minor cold it is. She was tested Friday through school with a non FDA approved saliva test and I scheduled a rapid test today for her. I had to do the swabbing in this little “hut” in a CVS parking lot, but came back negative about an hour later. First cold of the year for us, son is a little stuffy but wife and I are fine. Just had to get that negative result so if we keep them home they can go back when they are not sick.

There's plenty of experts on the other side of the spectrum, mostly suppressed by the media. I don't think anyone is truly denying the dangers of covid-19, but what most are debating are the avenues govt has taken to corral a virus. Now we're looking at a financial collapse and hyper inflation. inb4 that can't happen to the USA.
