Covid vaccination status?

[SectorZ]

I'm guessing the single dose (J&J) one will count as "both shots". I will be getting it in the afternoon (after school) at 3:45pm on Friday.

Usually on the vaccine reports that states put out it's just a separate category. More importantly for you it means fully vaccinated.

I got the J&J shot yesterday randomly walking through a supermarket. Turns out they had extra doses and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Other than soreness and some muscle aches, nothing to report. The blood clotting thing has my hypochondriac side on alert though...

The day after pretty much all the Nationals' players received that vaccine (although I note Roadgeekteen's comment that all the clotting issues have apparently been in women, so hopefully that holds true in this particular instance).

This is going to get people killed.  6 people had an issue and none of them died.  Or we can not vaccinate people and assuredly people will die.  Not to mention this will create vaccine hesitancy among people who were already on the fence.  Idiotic messaging.  It's tough to follow the science if the scientists in charge of this shit are that bad at math.

There are two sides to the coin. If it didn't become a big story and people thought it was being covered up, that would also reduce their trust in the vaccine. Ultimately, I think it does pay to be cautious. If the issued are looked into and resolved, trust in the vaccine and the process will increase.

They need to emphasize that the mRNA vaccines are completely different.

This is quite a bit lower risk than birth control pills and blood clots

Like I said, it's all about the messaging.  They could very easily have said "Yes, we have seen very isolated cases of side effects which are to be expected in any vaccine.  We will be diligent in monitoring any and all adverse effects, but at this time, there is no indication that such effects are prevalent enough to make us doubt the vaccine's effectiveness."  But no, they spaz out and pull something that will likely save something on the order of 5,000-10,000 lives.  I don't get it.

I would argue it's the government bureaucrats in charge of this stuff. The government is stupidly risk averse. They're more afraid of lawsuits down the road than COVID.

How would you feel if you were one of the people that got blood clots? It makes sense to review it. It's not like people don't have other vaccination options, and many of the highest-risk people have already been vaccinated. No idea where the 5-10K number comes from.

Also, side effects and effectiveness are two totally different things. I wouldn't assume any adverse side effects are related to the vaccine effectiveness in any way.

For fuck's sake...

So I guess on Friday I will be given something else.

I'd be unhappy if I were one of those people.  I'd also be very unhappy if more people died than needed to.  I came up with that number from something I read the other day saying if we maintained the pace of our current vaccinations until herd immunity, we'd save another 30,000 lives.  J&J vaccines are a subset of all the vaccines, hence the 5-10K number.

Also, side effects and effectiveness are two totally different things. I wouldn't assume any adverse side effects are related to the vaccine effectiveness in any way.

Maybe I chose the wrong word, but when I said effectiveness, I didn't mean "efficacy".  I meant that it was doing what we were trying to do, which is get this country back to normal as quickly as possible.

Take some time to look into it, yes, but these blood clots have affected 6 out of 6.5 million who got the J & J vaccine, or .00009%

Meanwhile, COVID-19 has killed 562,000 of 331 million Americans, or .0017%.

If Pfizer and Moderna can make up the difference, great. If not, it's still a better bet to get the J&J vaccine than none at all.

I just got home from getting my 2nd Pfizer shot. Will let you know if I get any side effects. My wife ran a fever and felt like she had been run over by a truck for several hours, beginning about 6 hours after her 2nd Pfizer shot.

You could say that about the other widely-used medications that cause blood clots and potentially fatal side effects that are still taken by tons of people. Again, birth control. 1 out of every 1000 people who takes birth control has a blood clot. 6 people isn't necessarily enough for a causal link.
