More than a year after COVID-19 surfaced in the United States, the pandemic rages on, with 433,000 deaths and counting in the United States as of early February. While the situation remains dire—we can only hope the virus is past its peak—there’s finally a light at the end of this long, dark tunnel.
Two vaccines, produced by Pfizer and Moderna and both in the form of a double dose, were authorized and recommended to prevent COVID in December. While the rollout is moving slower than expected—as of the end of January, about 25 million people had received at least one dose of a vaccine, almost a month behind the projected timeline—there’s reason to believe that the dissemination is gaining momentum. Three more vaccines are in the midst of large-scale clinical trials, and the President Joe Biden’s administration has named combating the coronavirus its highest priority.
For the latest vaccine information and recommendations, bookmark the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention site and check it often. But since you likely won’t find any running-related answers there, we turned to three experts—all medical professionals and runners—to help fill in the gaps. Keep in mind that the virus and vaccine are both rapidly evolving situations, and that the information offered below is meant to supplement rather than replace personal advice from your physician.
What Symptoms Can I Expect From the Vaccine?
As with any shot, reactions to the COVID vaccines vary from one person to the next. Christine Firth, M.D., an internal medicine specialist in Phoenix, says that symptoms are generally not severe, and that some people don’t experience any. Firth says common side effects include pain and/or achiness at the injection site (possibly more severe than that of the influenza vaccine), general malaise/fatigue, body aches, headache, chills, fever, and joint pains...

The claims you have made have already been fact checked and the lead author of the study states the following:

I don't think the Covid death rate is that low when you consider its persistently high R nought. That it has killed over 400,000 Americans in a year is evidence enough of its pathogenicity. What's more, it's mutating and becoming more pathogenic. There's no telling what we could be dealing with in years to come.
It wasn’t an mRNA vaccine. these claims have been fact checked. the lead author of the study in question here has weighed in. See post 41 in this thread.
Thanks.
I’m 80 and wife 79. In Illinois these ignorant, incompetent and corrupt politicians haven’t even begun to figure out how to approach figuring out how to distribute and administer the shots. Get on lists is about the best they can do.
“When I get both shots, if a public venue sees me inside without a mask, and they ask me to wear one, I’ll just show them my vax card or my drunken checkerboard code on my phone. If that doesn’t satisfy them, that’s the last they’ll see of any business from me.”
There will be millions of us doing what you posted above, after our second vaccination.
It’s probably a long shot like everything else, but try CVS for a few days.
