What about this India variant? Should we be worried about it? We shall see. NPR. www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/05/12/995855343/will-covid-19-vaccines-still-work-against-the-variant-from-indiaTogether the data suggests the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines will still work well against B.1.617(India), just as they do for the variant from South Africa, known as B.1.351. In both cases, the shots will likely offer high protection from death and severe illness, but they may lose some ability to stop mild or asymptomatic infections. "These findings highlight the need to increase vaccination rates," Suthar said.

tc..Aug for your second shot......wow.....they're really spacing it apart. Even with the CDC guideline I still wear a mask in buildings(not so much for myself, but for the comfort of others) Fully confident in the vaccine.

Just got my first shot of Pfizer this evening...2nd shot scheduled for Aug 19th. We are a little behind in Canada but making progress. What about this India variant? Should we be worried about it? We shall see. I would be more worried about the Amarillo variant !

I got my 2 Pfizer shots. Only side effect was stiff muscles around the shot and a lil soreness raising my arm. If I still lived at my last address I could have walked over to the senior center. It took longer to wait for side effects than to get the shot. I live in a rural area.
When I got the chicken pox vaccine, it seems I wasn't showing symptoms and already had it so I got the pox and the shingles vaccine. I heard from a few that got shingles and vaccination made sense. I had the German measles and mumps too.
Kind funny but I'm not allergic to poison ivy ... good with the bad I guess LOL

If you have not been vaccinated... you are the problem.
If you have not been vaccinated... get with the program.
If you have not been vaccinated... turn off your computer.
If you have not been vaccinated... go now and get your shot!
Until you have been vaccinated... you are not welcome here. Because, if you're not vaccinated... you're too fucking stupid
to know the difference between right and wrong... too dumb to participate with the intelligent and ultra-talented members of the wonderful forum. Don't be an idiot. GET VACCINATED!
Don't argue...DO IT NOW!

It will probably take a mix of carrots and sticks
To get people off the fence.

Letters we get letters... all I can say is better your hurt feelings than you being dead. Totally and unnecessarily dead. Done. Finished. Over. Deceased. "This parrot is kaput!" DEAD.
Do you know who's dying now? The unvaccinated are dying now. Folks who've made a stupid decision to not get vaccinated...
What is wrong with you!?!?!?!?!
Offended at being called stupid? Then don't be stupid. Stupid is a choice. Stop whatever you're doing and GO GET VACCINATED.

Carrots and sticks, eh?
I have 50 carrots... five bunches of 10.
Take the shot by the end of this weekend and you can have a fresh $10 bunch to bet. Send me a picture of you being vaccinated. Video call me and show your vaccination card. Or.. your word. I will proudly take your word. FREE $10.00 Play...and it's all yours.
Please get vaccinated. Thank you. Now do it.

We are all gamblers on this site . 99% of COVID patients admitted to ICUs are unvaccinated. If I was unvaccinated I wouldn’t like those odds.

Doctor quote: "One of the last things they do before they're intubated is beg me for the vaccine," Cobia wrote. "I hold their hand and tell them that I'm sorry, but it's too late."
(Dell gave you the carrot...this is the "big ass" stick)

CDC need to make an advert with the doctor saying that and blanket the airwaves .

Here’s my unfortunate personal vaccine story that happened to me this week . Because of Covid 19 and me relocating to Florida full time from Philadelphia I missed my scheduled Shingles vaccine this spring . This week I have contracted a severe case of Shingles which has completely wiped me out and will probably ruin my whole summer including an intended trip to Saratoga. I will always regret not getting that shot which was due to forgetfulness and focus on Covid rather than a specific intention. I would therefore encourage anyone who has not been vaccinated against Covid or for that matter Shingles to get it done as soon as possible . Because trust me “ it can happen to you “

Bev- you have my sympathy, that is a very tough thing to go through, I hope that it subsides soon and that maybe they have some better things to ameliorate the symptoms today than they did a few years ago when my friend suffered with it.

Sorry to hear about your shingles, Bev.
Hope you feel better soon. I hear it is painful so hope you are managing to cope.
I'm getting on in age as well...at what age should one get the shingles vaccine?

Terrible news about the shingles, Bev.
Listen Folks, I'm in no shape to bare the loss of any of you. please don't ask me to do it. A buddy of mine died at 3:30 this morning after suffering from this f****** disease for a week. His ignorance became willful stupidity and now he's dead. Gone. No need for thoughts & prayers. Just get your shot!
Ignorance and stupidity... "The intrinsic difference is that ignorance simply implies lack of awareness about something, while stupidity denotes the inability of a person to understand something due to insufficient intelligence, thus leading to the misinterpretation of a fact."
So, ignorance is acceptable because it can be fixed with education. Willful stupidity, however, can no longer be tolerated. Time's up. Get vaccinated now!
I still see 4 votes against vaccinations. Let's get those votes changed. I'm serious about the free $10 bet. Get your shot and let's celebrate together for many years to come.

We are double vaxxed, have never been sick and have never had symptoms. My wife and mother tested negative I have never been tested.
Not downplaying anything, however there will always be a “next” in this situation—-the govt and media need it to keep you cautious and hopefully trusting. Bad at your own choice/risk, pass with your own concerns.
We simply can’t return to haphazard special interest excluded lockdowns and masking. We can’t use COVID as an excuse for trillions of $$ worth of handouts and supplements. Dell can’t curse and bully anyone on to anything either.
Protect yourself and all around you by doing what is necessary— and thank NO POLITICS for fast tracking the vaccines. We all know that the current crew is not capable of pulling it off and that the “science” has been well intentioned yet conflicting..
Stay safe—gamble from home!

Science in quotes... seriously!?! Evolving. The word you are looking for is evolving not conflicting.
'But, but, but in the beginning fauci said we didn't need to wear no mask and then all of the sudden he turns right around and says we do need to wear masks... now which one is it? Is he confused or am I? How can we believe anything he says now?!?'
And what is it exactly that "we all" know? Donny put in the order, yes... that's great! And other than the criminality and complete incompetence, he was terrific.... "we all" know that. 500000 dead Americans because of his greatness. I don't want us to add to the pile just because we're 'conflicted"' about getting a shot that half of the country has already taken without negative consequence.
Curse, bully, or buy... I'll do whatever it takes, if it helps save a friend of mine.

I'm writing this in a hospital parking lot, by the way... 3 pals seriously sick because of a 4th of July party. One passed last night... another being admitted now. 3rd sick at home with what hopefully is a milder case. He doesn't seem to be as sick... that's something, anyway. I'm so tired of this.

Just received a call from my double vaxxed daughter in Texas -- she felt a little ill with a 100.8 temp -- test came back positive. Husband and children seem fine. Not sure if Delta or whatever...she was at my place in FL last week, and has been active in the Houston area, only masking in the airports. We shall see how it goes. What does it all mean??
Sorry to read about your friends Dell--hoping for the best

Dell,
Members being unvaccinated should not be a requisite for posting here. There are many valid reasons for that choice, some that effect my sister and nephews. Please publicly welcome back those members that have chosen that path.

Sorry to hear that Spider. Experience seems to be that the breakthrough infections have positive outcomes. Wishing the best for you and yours.

Please publicly welcome back those members that have chosen that path. Hooper Hooper, I have neighbors who cannot take the vaccine due to the stabilizers (allergic). Take what Dell said with a grain of salt(knowing where the comment is coming from). No need to clarify on his part. Everyone is welcome here, just know(all that read this) that we have your best interest at heart no matter what decision you've made.

I still have those $10 bunches of carrots. Would love to change any of the 4 No Votes. You can do it publicly here on the forum or privately by contacting me by email.
Dell.
PS. If I pushed you and you fell down and scraped your knee, It would only be because you didn't see the oncoming truck. Even if you don't believe in trucks.
Sorry about the knee.
TWO BUNCHES OF CARROTS!! To the first no vote to change to yes!
