    I got my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine On Wednesday. My inlaws, who live with us, got vaccinated the next day. So far, so good, no side effects, except some soreness at the injection site, not any different from getting the annual flu shot.

    Now, it is three weeks until the next show, in the meantime, immunity will slowly build up until reaching about 80-90% before the second shot. Israel has given us a lot of real time data, being far ahead of everyone else and serving as a whole-country clinical trial. The important part: People still have to be careful for a couple of weeks after the first shot. Apparently, many are not, which is why in Israel infection rates actually increased in the first days after receiving the first dose. It look like most people think that the vaccine effect is instantaneous and then let down their guard.

    And if you're in Florida where the new strain is raging you pretty much have to continue on with your defensive strategies as if you weren't even vaccinated at all.

    That is if the mRNA was coding for the proteins involved in growing feathers. Luckily, it is not, but I am sure some scientist may be able to help you grow feathers using this state of the art mRNA technology, should you fancy some.

    Good on you. My wife and I got our Moderna's yesterday. It's a good feeling to know that a positive step has been made towards the end of our pandemic.

    It is 21 days for Pfizer.

    This is interesting from the Israel study:

    https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.02.01.21250957v1

    [​IMG]
    This shows the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine after getting the first dose. It is roughly a 4% increase in protection per day after first dose. So, keep that in mind, everyone, it is not DIRECTLY after you get the first dose that gives you protection, it is about 20 DAYS AFTER you get the first dose that you have a good level of protection, about 80%. It is important to keep social distancing and mask wearing until then, at least.

    Got the Modera shot yesterday from the VA. It was so well organized that I had to ask those working there if they were VA employees. It is the same hospital were I was volunteering until about a year ago when they dismissed all volunteers.

    Totally blew me away how well the Covid vaccine process deal was done. Of course once I ID'd myself they had my medical records up so I only had minimal questions to answer.

    BTW I lived to get shot and tell about it.

    Exactly! I go for my second shot and a beer.28 days from yesterday same time.

    28 days that is indicative of some pattern isn't it? Is this COVID Shot a male contraceptive shot that the Government has conspired with BIG PHARMA ? We better ask Q.... .... wonder is the Bildeburgers or the Rothchilds or the Rockefellers are involved in this contraceptive Conspiracy? Wait is it the Moon people? Q will know Q knows everything. Q is a real patriot.

    Good for you. Let's hope that the incoming wave of newly-vaccinated people will help to get the R0 below 1 and keep it there.

    The Trump vaccine? Last thing I heard was that they were created by BioNTech (a German company) and Moderna.

    It is true, however, that operation warp speed is one of the two aspects of the covid response that Trump didn't botch (the second being the China travel restrictions).

    What the so called " warp speed" deal is , is the shortening of the controls and checkout process. Considering the gravity of the virus situation and the fact that the Trumpocoty ignored it and denied it initially that was the least he could say ok to. I am not "thanking " the guy since that gebonee did cause delays in responding with claiming that the initial 15 cases would be done to "0", that the virus would go away by Easter Sunday last year, and that it would be no worse than a cold. "You " just cannot thank someone for deriliction of duty and lying about 99.999999999999999 % of the things that guy mentioned.

    Thank you to Faicci.

    Yeah, if it wasn't for the 400,000 unnecessary US deaths and devastated economy due to trumps lies. denials, stupidity, and inaction, he would have done a great job.

    Have you tried those disinfectant injections yet?

    If anyone of you Trump vaccine gobbling gentlemen could come up with a single example of a vaccine developed in less than a year prior to Trump's ingenious and life-saving warp-speed program, you would have a point. As things stand right now, before Trump's warp speed program it took literally a decade or more to develop a vaccine, under Trump's warp speed program several were developed in less than a year... Coincidence, I am sure, right? LOL

    You all are happily consuming Trump vaccines as we speak, and rightly so, they may save your lives, yet you continue hating and cursing president Trump, solely responsible for the fact that these vaccines are available to you today and not in 2029.

    I can, Its a guy called Sahin and his wife. They live in a town called Mainz/Germany. Both are scientists, Muslims, second generation immigrants from Turkey. They own a small company, called bioNtech.
    Humble people, scientist.
    In January of 2020 they decided that Covid would be a major threat to this world.
    So they set out to develop with a rather unique technology, mRNA, a vaccine.

    In March they had enough data about their product, that they were able to sign on the world wide giant Pfizer, which declined Warp Speed.

    Now looking back, bioNtech is the most injected vaccine, the most effective, against all current mutations.

    If you want to put a political label on it, its the Merkel vaccine, which we use in the USA the most.

    As usual, when it comes the utmost quality, Made in Germany

    Funny, that. Biden casually mentioned that we'd still need to wear masks into 2022. Every day that passes will bring more angry Americans who will utterly BALK at being told what they HAVE TO DO. It's already heating up in Europe.

    Yeah, I'm sure the billions of dollars that Trump threw to the pharmaceutical companies had nothing to do with creating a vaccine in about 20% of the normal time.
    By all means, be sure and genuflect before Saint Anthony di Fauci...

    While German quality is indeed legendary (although I owned an Audi a while back that was kind of a lemon), Herr Sahin and his Frau had never developed a vaccine in less than 10 years before president Trump's ingenious and life saving warp speed program and will never develop a vaccine in less than 10 years after president Trump's ingenious and life saving warp speed program ends.

    Nor has any other drug company ever developed a vaccine in less than 10 years. The common denominator is Trump's warp speed program, not German quality. And that dear gnoib is a CHECKMATE.

    I know you don't want to so I'll do it for you, Thank you president Trump from the bottom of our heart for saving the lives of millions of people like gnoib, for setting up the program that allowed the creation of 3 life saving vaccines in less than 1 year, while before it took 10 years to develop one. And please forgive them their ingratitude, they know not what they say.

    I've had the second shot (Moderna) (Feb 6th), and I'm still being as careful as possible. My understanding is that immunity takes several weeks after the second shot.

    Glad to hear you got the first shot. I had zero side effects from the first shot other than normal injection site soreness. The second shot caused fatigue and body aches and more site soreness than the first shot. These effects started the day after the shot but were almost imperceptible 24 hours later.

    Hey it is the Trump cultists who prostrate themselves before their "god" the great Trumpocity not I. You also appear to ignore the fact that since the Trumpocity was ignoring the virus because he said a " miracle" shall occur on Easter Sunday morning (last) and the virus shall be made no more. So the Trumpocity had to move on a vaccine. I hope that Trump cultists did not spend too much time waiting for their " god" Donnie the Liar to decend from on high of the Trumpistian "Heaven" and create a miracle and smite the virus last Easter Sunday.

    You trash Faucci a honest decent man and scientist yet you glorify a POS who fostered an insurrection. How diseased is that!
