I had Covid, and then got the two Pfizer shots. Had very minor arm ache with both shots, and the second may have given me a slight headache and achy muscles (although those could be from working out).
Getting those vaccinations has taken a giant monkey off my back. Sure I occasionally wear the mask when I am around crowds of people out of respect, but who cares.
My guess is more than half the country if not more has had it and didn’t know it.
What are you going to do in 9 months or when the new Fauci strain is released
I had one shot this week and will get the second one in early March. I want the security of being able to travel without excessive worry about this damned pandemic.
Thank you for sharing, do to my volunteer work I get my second Pfizer prick in 2 weeks...
I do. It's insanity.

Sorry you had the virus. But you can get it again so don’t be too confident. There is no firm evidence that the antibodies that develop in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection are protective. If these antibodies are protective, it’s not known what antibody levels are needed to protect against reinfection. I read an article that said the infection rate was rare around 2% at six months without vaccines. That means that in the US, if no one was vaccinated, around 660K people would be re-infected continually after the first 6 months of the virus being active in the US at any given time.
With 331M people, on record not counting the approximately 11 million we haven’t got charted with the illegals in the country, that’s 342M people. With 10% of the people at this date vaccinated, that means there are over 310M not and if the rate of re-infect is 2% of that, it mean somewhere along the line a little over 6M people will be re-infected after 6 months without the vaccine. And since they haven’t determined the capacity of the vaccine or the need of the anti-bodies, it could be worse.
The mask is good for one thing, it limits the spreading, not stops it. I haven’t seen the stats yet on how far a saliva filled mask can throw the virus with a cough or sneeze. Face it, we’re stuck with this mess for years. Thanks to China’s vengeance. And we don’t have a cure. Just a guess, really.
