    Yes I know of couple nurses that had it and were vaccinated. I don’t know any other details regarding testing for antibodies etc. I know they felt pretty terrible after each dose.

    Second dose of the vaccine was a little rough compared to the first. Not terrible but not great either.

    My wife said her arm hurt a little 15 minutes after the shot.

    Let's just hope the government doesn't decide it is transmitted rectally... and they say we have to plug the source.

    They don't know that it won't. They're already talking about maybe a "booster" for some of the mutated variants.
    Mark my words- the current vaccines won't be very effective as the virus evolves. And it's evolving pretty quickly.

    I think it's a difference between the generic engineering along with 2 doses of the vaccine v how your body would naturally fights C-19. The latter, antibodies seem to wear off somewhere around 3-6mth. The former, is still in the data gathering stage...

    They need to stop advertising "vaccination sign ups", ain't anyone signing up for ****.

    You want the vaccination? Don't count on your local government scheduling, appointments are not available.

    With the survival rate of this thing i think ill take my chances and let some older and high risk people get it first. Out of the kindness of my heart.

    Wife just called. My son has to home school for the next two weeks due to possible exposure at school. Sounds like the whole school may be doing this. Just wonderful.

    As all the Dems Gov tries to send kids back because Trump is gone, you will see more of this. My wife's middle school has 1000 kids coming back next Monday. I like what the principle stated "Don't even try to worry about social distancing, it's impossible"

    Our school has been open all year in Arkansas. I have a feeling that will change soon and go back to full time virtual school.

    Our schools have been opened in person since the fall with the exception of a period between Thanksgiving through New Years. That was actually done due to faculty infections causing severe staffing issues. We really haven't seen massive infection/spreading among the kids like anticipated.
