Are you willing to get the Covid vaccine when offered? (5 Viewers)

What's going to power the chip once it's injected? Legit question

The salts/electrolytes in your body could potentially let your body serve as a battery of sorts but I don't think that's what's happening with this chip.

if I go somewhere, I always seem to get sick during the holidays. Either from being worn down from the drive, or the germ-y kids running around. My sister in law has had a cough for two days now. Of course my first thought is covid. Everyone else seems fine, except me - starting to get a sore throat. But I think I'm just run down from the long drive+ lack of sleep+stress etc. hopefully

That’s how it starts. Take care of yourself.

Moderna booster yesterday from Sam's walk-in.
No line. Actually nobody at all wanting vaccination but the place was packed with shoppers.
I went to Rx Express pharmacy first but they weren't doing vaccinations. There were 7-8 employees and 3 customers. None were masked. I felt like the ivy league student who walked into the redneck bar and ordered a seabreeze.
No effects felt as of yet. Minimal injection site tenderness

Yeah I felt very little effect from my Moderna booster.

Yeah I felt very little effect from my Moderna booster.

My dad got his a week ago. Felt slightly run down but not much else.

I felt just like I did after my second shot. Fever, aches, headache, etc. for a day or so.

Weird how that works.

Paper out of the UK: Myocarditis instances higher in Males under 40 after many vaccinations than it is from covid infections.

Very credible doctor/professor's thoughts on the matter.

I'll have to read the breakdown later.

but from the abstract...

We estimated an extra two (95% confidence interval (CI) 0, 3), one (95% CI 0, 2) and six (95% CI 2, 8) myocarditis events per 1 million people vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively, in the 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273. This compares with an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) myocarditis events per 1 million patients in the 28 days following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test. We also observed increased risks of pericarditis and cardiac arrhythmias following a positive SARS-CoV-2 test. Similar associations were not observed with any of the COVID-19 vaccines, apart from an increased risk of arrhythmia following a second dose of mRNA-1273. Subgroup analyses by age showed the increased risk of myocarditis associated with the two mRNA vaccines was present only in those younger than 40.

but from the abstract...

Yes, it's very clear, repeatedly, that myocarditis instances are higher after covid infections than they are after the vaccinations assessed. As well as that in the abstract, the discussion starts with:

First, there was an increase in the risk of myocarditis within a week of receiving the first dose of both adenovirus and mRNA vaccines, and a higher increased risk after the second dose of both mRNA vaccines. In contrast, we found no evidence of an increase in the risk of pericarditis or cardiac arrhythmias following vaccination, except in the 1–28days following a second dose of the mRNA-1273 vaccine. Second, in the same population, there was a greater risk of myocarditis, pericarditis and cardiac arrhyth - mia following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Third, the increased risk of myocarditis after vaccination was higher in persons aged under 40 years. We estimated extra myocarditis events to be between 1 and 10 per million persons in the month following vaccination, which was substantially lower than the 40 extra events per million persons observed following SARS-CoV-2 infection​

and it ends by saying:

Vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 in adults was associated with a small increase in the risk of myocarditis within a week of receiving the first dose of both adenovirus and mRNA vaccines, and after the second dose of both mRNA vaccines. By contrast, SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with a substantial increase in the risk of hospitalization or death from myocarditis, pericarditis and cardiac arrhythmia.​

I don't know how you could read that and get the opposite impression. Maybe by just focusing on the under 40s and ignoring everything else? But even then it's not saying the risk isn't higher from infection, it's just saying it may be more 'finely balanced' in terms of mycarditis events, while also noting the substantial benefits of limiting spread to the more vulnerable.

Yeah I felt very little effect from my Moderna booster.

Likewise. Only a sore arm for a day.

Tunnel vision imo. That happens when you focus on a narrow subset of data to try and support a conclusion. Not dissimilar to why some focus on narrow data to try and discount the effectiveness of mask usage.

 

[Eeyore]

It's so simple to demonstrate the effectiveness of a mask but people don't want to accept it.

Squeeze a spray bottle and take note of the pattern.

Then put a mask over the nozzle and spray it again. If people can't see the difference then you know that there's no point in discussing anything with them.

I think I was just really worn down. I had a mild fever and sore throat, but after catching up on my sleep I felt much better. Almost back to normal

I like that a lot.

....and a "gator" wrap (or whatever those things are called) or cloth decorative "face covering" don't count as a mask.
IF, you insist on wearing one of those, do so over a surgical mask (preferably Level 2 or Level 3, if not an N95 or KN95.
