Jason Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 3 hours ago, Jason said: Oh man, if you had any doubt about whether all the drum banging about "wait your turn for your vaccine" has gone absurdly overboard, I was just talking to someone on the Los Angeles subreddit who was upset because they thought they don't qualify under the health conditions category despite having two preexisting conditions. A little digging and it turns out they fucking had open heart surgery as a kid yet somehow thought they didn't qualify under the LA County medical conditions eligibility list, which includes heart conditions. Finally managed to convince them that they don't need a doctor or someone with the county to explicitly affirmatively say that their heart issues do qualify and to just fill out the form but yeah holy shit I think we really are at the point where all the fine-grained hair splitting about who does and doesn't qualify is now doing more harm than good. The LA County website says "Heart conditions, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathies (but not hypertension)" and I think what finally got through to them was that the stuff like heart failure and coronary artery disease are just examples and that if their situation didn't qualify that they would have listed it along with hypertension as explicitly not qualifying.

Joe Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 @Jason So I had been wondering why I thought it was 2 weeks after the second shot when all the data about Pfizer actually said one week. Turns out that Moderna is 2 weeks after the second shot for full effectiveness and Pfizer is one. I had no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I was at a crawfish boil yesterday and was really disappointed to hear literally every one of my friends there say they weren’t planning to get the vaccine. One of them did say “When I heard you got it, it did make me think it’s probably fine since you aren’t a follow the leader kinda guy” 😂 Most of it was the “seems rushed, I’ll wait and see” stuff. The Biden admin really needs to do more work to explain the process, explain why vaccine development usually takes longer and why the Covid vaccines made it to market at the speed they did.

Jason Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 This is why rushing to reopen right now is so dumb, this time next month that "at least one dose" figure is probably gonna be at least 50% at the rate things are speeding up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marioandsonic Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Tomorrow is my second dose.

I guess I'm assuming that the most you're susceptible to that stuff is before you've heard anyone you know being vaccinated and there's diminishing returns on what anti-vaxxers try and claim as you see more and more people get it and turn out fine.

Jason Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Interesting, apparently a bad reaction to the first dose may be an indication you had a previous COVID infection.

Everybody I know that had a bad reaction to the first had either a confirmed or probable infection prior. And it makes sense thinking if the vaccine as basically the booster shot at that point. My parents had a particularly unpleasant first dose and they were only a month past their infection. 1 hour ago, Chris- said: Nah, man. “Wait and see” is the opening of the anti-vax rabbit hole on social media. These people all have kids that they definitely vaccinate. It seemed mostly just basic ignorance. I do think I saw of the unfortunate effects of lifting restrictions which is that getting the shot makes no change to their day to day lives. States with more restrictions will have better tools to incentivize the population to get vaccinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What worked to barely keep cases under control before is now too weak to even mildly contain the variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
