I have an extremely healthy immune system. I have not been sick at all for over 20 years. I did get both Pfizer shots back in March.

Tuesday morning I had a fever so I knew something was wrong. Went and got a rapid Covid test and tested positive.

Today is day three of quarantining my fever is gone and all I have is a small headache. Thank God I got the vaccinations. Only seven more days of quarantining. Stay safe out there.

Did you think that there would only be 2 shots needed when there are several lines (not 2) on the card?

But, on the other hand, we know the effects of Covid for sure.

Does that mean that only two boosters will ever be necessary for Pfizer and Moderna since there are only four lines on the card? (or is the card trying to tell me I don't need to make any plans for 2023 and beyond?)

:agree:

Wife has a close friend, who was a no-vaccine-er, in Texas visiting grandchildren and got COVID. Texas didn’t have a hospital room for her and was going to send her to New Mexico, just before they sent her a room opened up (maybe someone didn’t recover?). Now, like many others in her condition she’s telling everyone to GET VACCINATED. We haven’t heard if her grandchildren are ok. What if she recovers and a grandchild doesn’t, I couldn’t live with myself if it were me.

Get Vaccinated if not for yourself but to protect those who can’t (12 and under).

cj1040 08-19-2021 08:04 AM

Boosters...doing whatever it takes
 
Of course we will get boosters....we want to do our part to stop this epidemic. Two of our 5 grandkids are too young to be vaccinated and we care about protecting them even though they are not in Florida and wish others would be more concerned about their own social responsibility.
It is just a tiny shot for heavens sake and FREE ! We got our flu shots this week and that actually hurt !!!!
So many stupid people out there...just disgusting

I wonder if you are vaccinated, and if not how old you are. I wonder.

Flu shot next month, covid booster in October for us.

The current surge of cases and hospitalizations that are overwhelmingly non vaccinated would suggest what to the non vaccinated?

Ralpha 08-19-2021 08:21 AM

I’m happy to say I have gotten my booster due to pulmonary issues.
We should be thankful that we have vaccines to checkmate the virus. I will gladly get booster shots whenever it’s necessary.
We are seeing what happens when ignorant fools who refuse to get vaccinated. They end up getting sick and/or die as well as spreading the virus to others. Personally, I don’t care what happens to them, but I have disdain for those who refuse to get vaccinated because it infringes on my health.

There are many -_________ every where. I will get the booster.
Those who choose not to get vaccinated and get covid should pay for their medical Bill's. God forbid if there is a major accident like a bus crash and the hospital has no room for those injured. Move those covid patients to the parking lot

The card was designed to be alyout paper record of the initial vaccination and as a reminder when to get your second shot.

I haven't seen how they will document any boosters.

davem4616 08-19-2021 08:41 AM

my wife is in active cancer treatments....she's getting the booster asap

other people don't want it...that's their choice

I expect that it will be a yearly event. I get teh flu shot and I will get this booster

Gizemo33 08-19-2021 08:48 AM

Topspinmo, please stop with the misinformation. You are spreading misinformation and that causes DEATH. By not getting booster shot you are increasing the chance of getting infected and spreading COVID-19 and the variants.

Believe the science, get vaccinated, social distance and finally wear a mask!!!!

I'll get the booster if my risk factors warrant it. Got the first two. Several surviving members of my family developed or triggered long term medical problems because of Covid: type 1 diabetes in a 10 yr old, weird sense of taste and smell, breathing problems.
Do anything you can to help us stop the virus army.

Soooo, the no-vax crowd knows more then the CDC and FDA, scientist, doctors, etc. If not saving yourself, please help the rest of us save your grandchildren.

When you say “save your grandchildren”, do you have any idea what the Covid death rate in children is? Since the onset of Covid, over 4,000,000 children have contracted Covid and fewer than 400 have died. During that same timeframe, over 70,000 children have died from other causes…

Those who take the Covid-19 “vaccines” are MORE susceptible to the Delta Variant and have a HIGHER risk of severe disease or even death. This information comes from Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the very mRNA technology used to transmit both the Pfizer and Moderna injections.

People who are vaccinated against Covid-19 are NOT more susceptible to the Delta Variant. EVERYONE is more likely to catch the Delta Variant because it is more contagious. Always link your source. This is incorrect as it stands.

If you have the vaccine and catch the new variant you are safer from death or hospitalization. LORD...I am tired of preaching this ****.

Just because an "Individual" disagrees with it, does not make it incorrect!

ANY basis for this assertion other than the word of one, single individual?

With hundreds of thousands of infections every week, tens of thousands of patients currently hospitalized, and thousands of deaths each week, where are the reports of these vaccinated individuals being MORE susceptible and having a HIGHER risk of severe disease or death? Roughly half the US population is vaccinated; if the risks were higher for vaccinated folks then you would expect roughly half the hospitalizations and deaths to be from vaccinated folks. None of the US statistics show that to be the case.

Is this simply wishful thinking from those who want to discredit the vaccines?

Antibodies ???

This is a whole other COVID related topic that no one seems to be discussing. There are no CDC recommendations/
guidelines for antibody testing. What about quantitative antibody testing? They seem to just want us to keep adding more antibodies to our system no matter the level of antibodies in existence. The antibodies from the first shots, or from previous COVID infections, are maintained or decrease at different rates for everyone. Maybe someone has no antibodies remaining while someone else may have 98% of the antibodies remaining. I have a bit of a problem using the "one size fits all" method of vaccinating or boosting. It's like saying everyone with diabetes should take the same dosage of a specific medication. Or like giving everyone with cancer the same treatment.

Schools are just starting back in person learning, if this madness continues the death rate will climb. Shame on you for trivializing, saying fewer than 400 have died. FOUR-HUNDRED children are dead that didn’t have to die, because of the “non-vaccinated”, it should be a crime.

According to the NTSA in 2016 motor vehicle crashes accounted for 4,074 teenage lives lost. FOUR THOUSAND and SEVENTY-FOUR children "are dead that didn’t have to" because people drove cars. See how easy it is to play your games?

Professor 08-19-2021 11:10 AM

Just don't get it if you don't want it. No law says you have to. For those of us who are immune compromised that will create less competition for the booster.

I doubt a covid shot was reason the 10yr old got diabetes, I'm sure it's the same reason any diabetic gets it...the pancreas stops working, as did my 3yr old grandson....it happens.
