A couple weeks ago I told my parents that I wasnât going to see them until they got the jab when they told me they might not get vaccinated. Told my sister and BIL the same thing. Now they have all had the J&J shot. My parents reported back that they werenât happy and felt blackmailed.
Life is really coming full circle when I am lecturing and tricking my parents into being responsible.

Good. Weâll need social pressure like this to increase vaccination rates.
78% of U.S. seniors have been vaccinated, and the number is still climbing. This is higher than I expected, and I think part of it has to be deplorable grandparents responding to ultimatums from their kids.

My friend who works in a salon (and has faded covid despite confirmed exposures by being really diligent about masks) said customers are starting to complain that they shouldnât have to wear masks if theyâve been vaccinated.
I said maybe you can consider a couple days a week being âvaccinated daysâ where only fully vaxxed people are allowed at the salon.
She said that would be amazing, except literally every other employee of the salon refuses to get the vaccine. (Or they want to âwait until we have more informationâ which is indistinguishable imo.)

After effects of shot two have been such a weird experience.
Like I had one day where I felt like shit (fever, nausea, chills etc). Today and yesterday I have this weird malaise that I canât quite put my finger on. Like Iâll feel okay for a few hours and then all of a sudden crash and feel really strange. Iâll just be really tired and things will all seem a bit fuzzy. Then, I feel fine. Itâs a real up and down experience.
Figured that Saturday would be the end of it but itâs not.

Are you from the medical field? you remind me of all these guys that got air time early in the pandemic who got to voice their opinions but they knew that they wont be hold accountable for what they are saying especially after it became clear that herd immunity wont be a thing and then the 2nd wave hit us harder than all these experts anticipated.
Well having natural immunity without serious consequences is better than nothing. I still havenât heard of serious second cases (but variants?).
I took that to mean
His wife of she goes on the trip. And seemingly implied not his wife if he doesnât. We wonât tell.
This is what freedom looks like when every other person is an asshole.
Like how long are the side effects of the covid vaccine supposed to last? Thought it was supposed to be max 2 days.
Right now, I feel as though I have a severe hangover. Hoping that I donât have to miss a second day of work.
Mine lasted about a week for the second shot but that was just some parts of it.
Holy crap thatâs pretty nuts.
Looking that way with me too I guess.
Long COVID vaxers ITT

i got jab 1 a week ago and iâm having weird joint pain, headache, and possibly mild chills since last night. kinda late for a vaccine reaction. 
Basically what Iâve been doing since Friday. Guess things will get better soon.
Yeah, Iâve been saying this for a while, mrna vaccines are going to be like the invention of antibiotics. I wouldnât be surprised if it didnât lead to a broad-based highly effective flu vaccine as well. Not like the shitty flu vaccines we have now.

Iâm completely fine with 100% no mask after everyone has had an opportunity to get vaccinated, probably June 1 or so in CA. No need to keep punishing businesses and everyone else. If people donât want to get vaccinated fine, let them get covid, but the rest of society shouldnât be punished.
