Especially dispiriting that it's someone from the cast of The Trump Show that gets them to turn, even though it's someone who has been demeaned, derided, and excluded by Trump himself repeatedly. They don't even have an awareness or analysis of who is trustworthy by Trump's lights, apparently vaguely remembering that their names were in the same news report a few times is enough for belief by association. Homeopathic reliability.

Also the noises of satisfaction and agreement when Christie assures them that "Politicians screw up almost everything we touch. We really do. We just do," and avers that his own personal idiocy and incompetence are the reason that they should listen to him. And they do!

Precisely, even though earlier in the group they had each said that including Trump himself in the president's PSA wouldn't have convinced them either. It's infuriating.

Any advice or ways to prepare for the onslaught? Or just ride it out? The nurse giving me the jab said it would peak about 12 hours later, so I should drink plenty of water and take a Tylenol before bed.
I took tomorrow off in preparation, just in case, glad I did so.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 28 April 2021 19:29 (three years ago) link
that's really all I did, was just wait it out. I didn't know what was coming so I was late on the Tylenol, but you can be more proactive with it. taking the day off a smart idea. everyone's reaction is diff but for many people it just kinda.....abruptly backs off all of a sudden.

My wife got her second Moderna on Monday afternoon, and was generally fine until the next afternoon, when she got really achy and tired. A nap aside, though, it was manageable with acetaminophen, and she was pretty much all better by this morning. Super psyched to hang out in small mask-free gatherings outside.

My email from CVS said to drink 16 oz of water an hour before which I did. And I drank a lot of water after. I did get a Pfizer shot though.Anything I felt was so mild it was hard to determine if it was a side effect or just how I usually feel much of the time.
― Notes on Scampo (tokyo rosemary), Wednesday, 28 April 2021 19:53 (three years ago) link
Don't take Tylenol before the jab. Indulge freely afterwards.

2nd Pfizer dose next week. Was very impressed with the efficiency and friendliness of med staff, coordinators, and recipients at the Microsoft campus getting shot 1. Working to keep that happy relief dominant over the fearmongering re: variant spreads, WA resurgence, and effectiveness. One nice thing living here is that developing this protocol will help speed future inoculations. I'd expect this to roll into the regularly scheduled flu vaccinations at work.

I'm about 24 hours post Pfizer dose 2 and so far so good. Felt a little "weird" this morning when I woke up but that could have just been pre-coffee reverie.

My Pfizer dose 2 side effects mostly felt like a hangover, tbh. Tired, achy, bad headache. Took a few days to feel back to 100%, but the worst was pretty manageable.

there's no dodging the side effects if you get them as far as i can tell. but i haven't met ANYONE who has had them last beyond a few days.

Yeah, that second Moderna shot knocked me on my ass. I was fine all day yesterday, popped a couple of Tylenol before I went to bed - just in case. Woke up a little after 1 with waves of nausea and a wicked headache. I don't know that I ever had chills or a fever, but I tossed and turned all night and couldn't shake the headache or the nausea. Finally fell asleep for a decent chunk of time around 7:30 this morning, very glad I took today off. Was mostly better as today went on, but then a second wave of nausea hit me earlier this afternoon. It's mostly subsided now, but it came on quick. I've definitely felt worse and been for more sick, but I was surprised by how quickly it all came on.

what I really think ISN'T helpful is vaccinated people constantly telling others "remember, you can still catch and spread the virus!", as if there is no reduced risk at all of doing so by being vaccinated. one of my friends has been doing this for two months, and it's completely understandable why he wants his friends to wear a mask, but him constantly misappropriating what we actually do know (that it seems to reduce transmission, even if it doesn't 100% eliminate it, which practically no vaccine does) isn't helping.
to be clear, I don't care about masking, and I will always do what my host wants me to do. if my host is vaccinated, we're outside, and wants me to mask, I will (I probably will already out of habit). if a business wants me to (and most of ours still do), I will as well. it's probably not a habit I'm breaking any time soon as people don't know I'm vaccinated.
but y'know, constantly saying that nonsense doesn't prevent transmission isn't going to help some of the more gullible, on the fence folk see the value in getting a vaccine.
(Not to mention it infuriates me how people can't see the difference between the statements "It's possible that you might be able to transmit the disease after being vaccinated, we're evaluating" and "You can definitely spread it, this is established bedrock!"
