Equally anecdotal, but everyone I know personally over the age of 60 had symptoms, except for one, who got the Pfizer.

most of the folks i know got moderna/pfizer in NYC/Nashville with the earlier ones going Moderna and tending to be more symptomatic

Still so sleepy today, as well as a tiny bit achy here and there, but otherwise no symptoms, hope that’s Positive enough for thread.

had second shot yesterday, arm started hurting pretty bad within a few hours, went to sleep at my normal time, could NOT wake up like normal, slept for ~12 hours, now feel fineish? An ideal way to deal with side effects imo!

so happy everyone's getting all their shots! feels big to me! also terrified about how many people just blankly refusing to do it but, like, wrong thread for that!!!!!
― Clay, Thursday, 22 April 2021 00:39 (three years ago) link
cases appear to be slowly decreasing in the US after steady increase - but not a huge amount (something like 3.5% in my spreadsheet calculation). that trajectory seems to be continuing this week. cases too high to celebrate or declare definitively movement is starting but hoping this means the vaccination is stemming the tide finally.

Was in a two-hour queue winding around hospital corridors after midnight, but I knew two couples elswhere in the queue, so we ept passing each other, and the solo schoolteacher in front of me also had a couple of acquaintances wend past him, so it did feel moderately vibey and social
Not picking on this carefully equivocal post, but the "everyone" wording I see a lot these last weeks from Americans, just about eligibility, is a real gut-punch.

Yeah I know people who've come from another country to get vaccinated. One has dual citizenship, one is here on a visa but someone worked out how to fake domestic address (by sending them mail, in case you were wondering). Obv it's only available to those with the ability to travel internationally, it's not a real solution.

Got my 2nd pfizer this week and finally getting to an opticians tomorrow. Have needed new glasses for years and made do since lockdowns. One of my distance pair is held together with insulation tape, the dog had my reading glasses in his mouth once and one of the lens is scratched. My best ones slip down the bridge of my nose every time I get a sweat on. Lol having crap old glasses is not good.
