Wanna-B-Fanboy

You know what? Biden has been a wonderfully pleasant surprise as POTUS. I was not a fan before... but yeah, I am now. And it's not because he's better than the former guy- he's been remarkably more progressive than I could have imagined.

The bolded part: Absolutely I 100% agree. That is where the system needs to change. Thanks for the clarification.

261 new cases... that's concerning. We had that much when the second wave was winding down. I might be over reacting though, because we had 3400 tests yesterday, we normally have around 220... that might be a good reason why the numbers are high. Yeah. The two part shot is so you are fully vaccinated after the second shot. the J&J one is a single shot and you are fully vaxxed. as with all flu shots- you will have to get annually.

If I were either of them, I would say, "you're full of ****, show me where this is the case or shut the **** up". the onus always rest on the person making the assertion. Also, I am not defending Tracker's statements in any way- just saying that knee jerk reaction is not always the best way to go. Ok, that is a bold statement with a very large brush to paint the entire police apparatus we have here- what are you basing this on?

So much the bolded parts!

to be fair neither @Brandon or @Tracker provided any evidence to back up their respective statements.

Covid Rips through India... Get Vaccinated, wear a mask and maintain physical distancing.

I don't know about buying Microsoft products, but after I got my shot, I went out and got a tattoo.

Wow, I am really surprised to see guilty on Murder 2 and Murder 3. Manslaughter was a given. Nice to see justice prevailing. Just remember... if not for Darnella Frazier hitting record on her phone- this is how it would have gone down officially:

Wait Wait wait wait.... so... you're telling me that Don jr. is not a legit New York Times best seller? That he cheated? You're full of ****! 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

I know! I've been walking round all day like:

Oh boy- here we go... let's hope justice prevails:

They should have Mobile units with the vaccines that only require refrigeration. Get the shots TO the schools and have a quick morning/afternoon vaccine session. Teachers NEED to be vaccinated before the transmission in classrooms becomes a huge problem because of the variant.

Ugh, finally. Someone needed to point out that these GQP members criticizing other party members have NO credibility because of their own mess.

Yeah me too. I just wanted an excuse to post Tyrone.

My Crack Habit agrees!

Oh no, over 200 new cases...

Wife and I just got the shot. I am ecstatic. Astrazeneca from local Pharmacy. The dude at Regent Park Pharmacy was awesome. He walked us through everything, assuaged my Wife's and my own concerns. Told us what to expect and what to watch out for. Darrel is awesome!

Here is a handy poster of the new variants

That's good, but much more needs to be done.

So... vaccine hesitancy seems to be an issue with the vaccine rollout. Has anyone seen any sort of campaign to reduce the hesitancy? I haven't seen any. If that's the case that is a huge failure in the roll out... and needs to be addressed.

From what I have read, it works well against The UK variant and the P1 variant in terms of transmissibility and mild to severe symptoms. The south African variant is where things get dicey. it has a 10,9 % efficacy in preventing mild to moderate symptoms. The good news is, so far it has a track record of 100% efficacy against SEVERE symptoms. ANd that is kind of what we want to do... take the shot so we don't die. Sure there are concerns, but the benefits FAR outweigh the miniscule chance of clots. https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-56665396 Handy little chart here: Here are few more articles: https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/news/astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-blood-clot/ https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca-benefits-still-outweigh-risks-despite-possible-link-rare-blood-clots
