Well, none of the virtue signallers have had an anthrax shot or a small pox shot...soooo this probably feels like the flu shot. :rolleyes:

I got both of those, and although I did ok, I saw some of our previously healthy colleagues have a bad outcome. I felt then like they rushed it out, just like I'm feeling now that it's getting rushed out. That's why I'm waiting.

There's plenty of opportunity to get this vaccine, unless you're in NY I guess. However, I'm waiting too. Will I get vaccinated? Sure. But I also have this sneaky suspicion that we're going to have to get this every year. Which is fine I guess.

They moved up the schedule and we are getting the first shot next week.

We've been binned in with 1A, 1B, and 1C; but the command doesn't have their own stock like what I'm seeing at the TSOCs. We have to go through Walter Reed with everyone else. Even now though they are only doing 75+ at Walter Reed for 1B and all others are a wait till the end for anything left
 
The UAE gov't to its employees: get a PCR test every 7 days, that you pay for out of pocket, or the free vaccine.

I figure I have about 3 weeks before the same applies to us.

Yep, or/and...

In order to travel, in order to renew a driver's license, in order to attend venues, in order to....

I got my vaccine, I understand the science behind it, being in the profession I'm in but....

I certainly see the government using this for their gain, the sheep will get on board, just like masks so they can have "normal" back when in reality, the pandemic proved, we will sacrifice power for safety.

Well, covid did not age well, it all came true. I had OG version, got jabbed, wore masks, still got omicron.

2 years into 2 weeks to slow the curve.

Pfizer x 2, still had the necronomicon or whatever it is called. It was a cold for me, more like the flu for my wife. Our daughter had both the original in December 2019 and the latest, and both were pretty rough. No hospitalization for any of us.

OG for me was the flu like, transformer version was a cold and horrible body aches. Tessalon pearls helped cough, hot showers and motrin helped.
 
Pfizer for me, since my bout with OG in 2020 nearly landed me in the hospital. May or may not have had omicron, as it burned through my kitchen and to-go staff like the second coming of Gen. Sherman while I had a 48hr sniffle and a 30min coughing fit. Never got tested, so I don’t know.

My brother went full Moderna, and he just recovered from his third bout of the shit last month. Sister finally had her first go with it at the same time. Meanwhile, Mom has all the exposure (living with my brother, and 10 days in the hospital with covid patients next door), RA, AND cancer, and the virus is scared of her!
 
Been exposed a bunch of times for long periods to mild and symptomatic people. Somehow nothing. Got J&J in August thinking I'd had to be at an event for work because I was supposed to get a job offer. Event was cancelled, job offer came end of November. Got a second round of J&J a few weeks ago because our Medical Director is a psycho, only for a few hours later to get a call from the Deputy to hold my move in place. Our policy now resembles the NFL...no testing for asymptomatic. If asymptomatic and positive? 3 day isolation and all clear. If mild symptoms? 5 day isolation.

Must be something to running in the sun 4-5x a week and taking vitamins.
 
I'd had 2x Pfizer, then picked up a dose of the bug in late January, suffered a bit of a tight sternum and it buggered my voice for a week, but that was about it. As far as I am aware, I didn't infect anyone else, which for mine, is the whole aim of the jabs in the first place.
After Drs advice, I got my 3rd Pfizer booster on day 11 (it was already booked in), no side effects other than the obligatory sore arm.
 
Moderna X3 for me. Been safe so far but I think most of the precautions made sense until Omicron. I must say that so much of my work has been taken up by COVID related things that it exhausted me and my family culminating in the disastrous 2021 HBL this past year in conjunction with an upcoming "rotation".

It's just been a nonstop assault of shit rolling downhill that I know we have to deal with but it doesn't make it any easier when everything we talk about at work is COVID.
 
Due to my particular clotting issue my PCP and Hem/Onc advised not getting vaccinated. I have worked through this entire pandemic (aside from the 8 weeks my center was closed for the 14 days to flatten the curve) without getting it. I have been tested a bunch only due to being exposed to patients and coworkers who were positive. I never even had a sniffle. Thank God. It has to be the shit ton of vitamins and large variety of essential oils I use. Plant Therapy is a helluva drug. Oh, and green tea. Lots and lots of green tea.
 
So this is wild:
A team of international researchers, including from India, have found that the COVID-19 virus' contains a tiny chunk of DNA that matched the sequence patented by Moderna three years before the onset of the pandemic.

The findings, published in Frontiers in Virology, has raised new suspicion that the COVID-19 virus may have been tinkered within a lab, Daily Mail reported.

The scientists' team, including Akhil Varshney from Dr Shroff Charity Eye Hospital in New Delhi, showed a tiny snippet of a genetic material owned by Moderna in the virus's spike protein.

But records show that Moderna had filed the patent in February 2016 as part of its cancer research division, the report said.
