First dose of Pfizer on Thursday. According to most on this site, I am high risk, if I tested positive. I also realize that I probably have 10 to 15 years on this earth, but that could change in a heartbeat or no heartbeat, tomorrow.
I would have taken J&J vaccine. At least J&J states what could be the % for the evolving strains.
I also have no illusions that any vaccine will keep me from contracting Covid, or a variant. Then again my everyday life has not changed since last March. I still shopped, at small businesses to help them keep afloat, went to restaurants when they were open, ordered takeout when restaurants were shuttered, in hopes to keep some working. I played golf every chance I got.
Saw my family when possible, even though they are exposed everyday in healthcare.
Do I feel any safer by getting the first dose, not really. Two of our kids feel the same way, Doctors at their facility were required to be vaccinated, yet their life will remain the same, especially since there is no guarantee on how long the vaccine will last, or how effective it is on those that don’t have to guess they are exposed everyday.
Only time will tell.
