Thank you for your kind words. And All the best to your daughter.
A delightful response! Thank you.
Thanks. She and I were talking about it today and at her age I’m concerned about everything.
Again, thank you.
Of course. And after vaccination — go out and live life. This year has been taken from us — probably didn’t have to happen this way — so reclaim your time and your life!
To quote Ronaldus Maximus — it would be a very American thing to do.
Are you saying that because you have been vaccinated and will not ‘catch covid19’ there is no chance you could be treating active covid cases and take virons home with you to unvaccinated family members?
Nice write up. Reads very much like a scientific report. Detailed. Clear.
I am saying that the chance is so remote as to not be worried about it. I am also saying that asymptomatic spread is not a thing. I think therefore it would be difficult to infect a love one without generating the viral illness.
So, yes, I suppose this is what I am saying.
Up yours, uh, I mean, thank you for this update.
But seriously folks, I’m leaning towards taking it, because of the people in my life who are at risk. And I’m not a flu shot person.
My two cents . . .
Thank you for this. I too have recently recovered from Covid and was pondering as to whether I should get the vaccine. Had heard about the antibodies lasting maybe only 3 to 4 months, but that T-cells can last for years. I am leaning toward not getting the vaccine at this point. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
That’s what I like about Free Republic: the opportunity to be exposed to articulate, well-reasoned alternative views.
Thank you for the excellent and succinct explanation. And thank you for sharing your personal experience, Attila.
Thanks and I realized I misspelled it after I sent it :-(
Say no more, squire, wink wink, nudge nudge!
Oh my, so comforting to know you’re human ... and probably end each day exhausted from your attention to your patients.
I had it yesterday. Almost no side effects. Less arm pain than with Shingrix or tetanus. No fever etc.
so happy to get on with this.
Sadly, I am under no illusion of my imperfections the linger around even at the end of a long day. Sadly, I still have charting to do. I might get to bed around 1 AM. Being on free republic is all at once my therapy, my escape, and worst of all, my procrastination
I hear that Shingrix is quite an experience.
I am an internist in a 350-400 bed hospital. Also see geriatric pts. I see pts on both the covid floor and covid icu. We run 30-50 covid pts in our hospital. Received shot yesterday. Only very mild arm soreness.
Immortalized cells...is that what was used? What’s the difference in terms of ethical concerns?
