Three weeks after my second dose and I don't feel so go... *vomits George Soros dogecoins*

Last person to get vaccinated wins.

Feel a bit better this morning.
But yeah that thoroughly kicked my ass.

I've seen a lot of comments of the 24 hour flu 12 hrs after getting the AZ. Putting that immune system to work!

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu Apr 29, 2021 6:12 pm

Pretty much only know 1 person that wasn't that affected by it, and she's wondering if she got a placebo lol

I got Moderna and felt nothing both times. But half of my coworkers I vaccinated got really bad flu-like symptoms with their second doses for both Pfizer and Moderna starting around 12 hours post-dose and lasting around 24-48 hours.

I haven't been able to help at the clinic since J&J/Janssen vaccine was approved in the US, though.

Yeah I had that on my first dose with AZ. Everyone I know who’s had it had similar issues.

It might also be because we are old.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Apr 30, 2021 4:40 am

48 hours could be an issue for me. I scheduled a nerve test for my feet (I have some paresthesia issues I'm trying to get to the bottom of) almost exactly 48 hours after my second dose is scheduled. I scheduled it before scheduling the first dose of my vaccine, but then I took what I could get when I could schedule the vaccine and just kind of thought of the potential issues there afterward.

Don’t worry beforeward will make sure it’s ok for you

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri Apr 30, 2021 2:34 pm

In a week I will be able to sign up for my first dose.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Apr 30, 2021 3:04 pm

I'm going to be the last of us to have it!

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri Apr 30, 2021 3:18 pm

We’ll see. No idea what the turnaround is from “sign up” to “needle in arm”

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Apr 30, 2021 5:35 pm

I can go to a non social distanced, no mask gig in Liverpool if I want to.

Look. Just let me know when I get to spit in your face without repercussions other than abject horror from onlookers. OK?!

News today is talking about a 3rd jab for over 50’s. Not even Oldbez is that old though.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed May 05, 2021 12:06 pm

Maybe I'll get that old before LPTDW hopefully.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Wed May 05, 2021 1:21 pm

Hopefully we’re also done worrying about covid by then

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Wed May 05, 2021 3:28 pm

We r never going to stop worrying the vaccine's don't work there's never going to be anew normal, the governments want to keep their sheep locked up in their field

WAKE UP SHEEPLE

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 06, 2021 12:25 pm

Looks like most old people around here have quit with masks. Got their second jab so fuck the rest!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu May 06, 2021 5:31 pm

To be fair, they've been hesitant to say whether vaccines prevent transmission, but I think the evidence is mostly pointing to they mostly do. Still the double dose vaccines are only 95% effective at preventing catching covid so they wouldn't likely be more than that at preventing transmission. They really should still wear masks in mixed company. Chances of spread between fully vaccinated individuals is probably negligible (not that it won't happen at all, but too infrequent to require modifying behavior), but from a fully vaccinated person to an unvaccinated person is probably high enough chance to warrant some caution (i.e. masks).

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu May 06, 2021 5:56 pm

Yeah I plan to wear masks in public until we've reached close to heard mentality

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu May 06, 2021 7:05 pm

Birth control pills + condoms together are more effective than either one alone !

EDIT:
apologies to the catholic

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu May 06, 2021 9:57 pm

Fei book your vaccine

They've been cautious because at least 30% of the population is comprised of idiots that will be even more intransigent to taking reasonable precautions for people who legitimately cannot get vaccinated.

Your assumptions are probably close to the reality that we're not able to claim from available data just yet. The likelihood of transmission is likely very low, but yeah, even if we assume that 5% of vaccinated people can be infected, it's not unreasonable to infer that most of them are probably also capable of transmission (even if it is not a severe form of the disease which, fortunately, the approved vaccines seem to protect about as close to 100% as current data allows us to approach statistically), no place on the planet is anywhere near the level they need to be at for population-level protection.

got a vaccine appointment innit

I think that’ll be me.

This is a weird turn of events innit

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri May 07, 2021 11:28 am

My vaccine’s not until well over two weeks from now. You can do it, Damien!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri May 07, 2021 12:07 pm

Using a calculation site, this is what I get

Based on your profile, you are in priority Group 11. Given an uptake of 100%, there are between 3,391,902 and 10,087,290 people in front of you in the queue for a first dose of COVID vaccine across the UK.
Given a vaccination rate of 3,032,208 a week and an uptake of 100%, you should expect to receive your first dose of vaccine between 27/05/2021 and 06/07/2021.

That second date keeps moving back....

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Fri May 07, 2021 12:09 pm

Probably hoarding vaccines for Tory ridings innit

(This is happening here too, and johnsun and ford are basically the same person so it wouldn’t surprise me)

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri May 07, 2021 1:05 pm

The Quebec system is actually alarmingly well-designed. It was one of the best government websites I’ve ever used, and apparently the experience people have had when actually going has also been very positive.

Vibing_V · Post by **Vibing_V** » Sat May 08, 2021 10:19 am

We're rushing through the 40's. I'm hoping to get my invitation to book around a week from now. (Then hopefully only another week or less until the actual appointment.)

Wouldn’t have bet on me being the last unvaccinated among us back in January

Watching everyone else in my age group book their appointments and I haven't gotten my invitation yet......... this is seriously fucking with my mental health.

Is Vibing_V the last SG regular to get vaccinated?
