A call from the county

I received a phone message last evening from the county health board saying a COVID vacination clinic was being held today between 10:30 and and 12 noon at the civic center. No appointment or insurance needed. They were offering only the Johnson & Johnson brand. I mentioned this to the dental hygenist this morning and she said she'd think twice about the J&J shot.

I think that shot has been connected to an unexpected number of people with Guillian Barre syndrome symptoms.

Per charts on the CDC and NIH websites, the J&J vaccine is only 63% effective (at best) for seniors over 65. Some charts say as little as 47%, I think it was. The differences have to do with regions/countries and maybe ethnicity.
 
I got my second shot with only a fever and sore arm for a couple of days. It was the Moderna one. What should worry you Deb is the Delta variant that is rampant now. Please think more about getting the 2 shot one. My doctor told me not to get the Johnson one due to the blood clotting problem and my history of brain aneurysms.
 
My doc set me up for the Moderna shots at a local clinic. I don't listen to the BS and don't care about side effects. I just want to stay out of the hospitals here because if I end up in one there's a good chance I'll die there. Saw first hand the "standard" care they gave my husband. I'd rather take my chances with the vaccine and stay at home.

Living alone, there's be no one to help if I had a bad reaction.

Living alone, IF you contracted the Delta variant, who would be there for you? Would you phone 911 for help? Would be no different for a bad reaction. Please don't be scared, bite the bullet and go get vaccinated.

We got the 2 dose Moderna vaccination. Only with the second dose did we have a slight reaction, which sleep helped us get over it.
 
I live alone, and I figured I'd be a lot better off with a reaction than with covid. I don't know anyone who had such a bad reaction to the vaccine that they actually couldn't deal with it on their own.

Get your vaccine, Deb. In the extremely unlikely event that you needed medical help, call an ambulance, just like you'd have to do if you got covid or any other medical emergency and needed help.

I live alone also but I can call 911 and get an ambulance here and you can too. Second dose gave me a little temp for one day and a sore arm. That was it.
 
Some articles I've run across lately:

Jerusalem Post: Pfizer COVID vaccine significantly less effective against Delta variant

NASDAQ: How Johnson & Johnson's COVID Vaccine Is Making a Comeback After Encountering Several Problems

Anyone considering the J&J shot should read the NASDAQ article, which states:

Johnson & Johnson also announced encouraging data last week for its single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. The company reported that the vaccine generated strong neutralizing antibody levels against the delta variant and other prevalent coronavirus variants. It also said that the vaccine has provided a durable immune response through at least eight months. The potential protection against the delta variant was especially good news. J&J stated that its vaccine produced neutralizing antibody levels against this variant that were even higher than those found for the beta variant first identified in South Africa. Chief scientific officer Paul Stoffels said: "This adds to the robust body of clinical data supporting our single-shot vaccine's ability to protect against multiple variants of concern."​
​
It is now clear there can be issues with all the vaccines. I had the J&J as soon as it was available here and fortunately had no effects of any kind. I continue to be out and about, travel, go into crowded places, not wear a mask and just use normal health practices.

I've never been "vaccinated" with the poisons my entire adult life and won't ever choose to do such a thing.
Plus I'm the healthiest person I know, never in my life gotten sick from an imaginary virus and that won't in the future.
Also, I do live alone. If I did get sick, then it would probably be from something I ate, so I'd get it out of my system and be fine, the same as I've done in the past.

There'd be no reason for me to go to the doctor purveyors of death so they could tie me down, paralyze me with their toxic biocide petroleum drugs, ram a tube down my throat, lock me in a private room while starving and killing me by shooting more of their poisonous biocides into my body. NO. One of my missions in life is to stay far, far away from terrible people like them who would so such things to living breathing well functioning human beings.

So my point is that willingly having poisons into your body is NOT going to make anyone any healthier nor to protect them from anything - but it IS much more likely to make you sick on a long term basis and even to kill you quite rapidly.

So why do it? There's no good reason at all.
 
I also live alone, Deb. So I felt sick for one day, so what? I am safe from a killer disease.

As others have pointed out, you can always call 911 if necessary, the same as for any other emergency. But I haven't known a single person or heard of anyone (outside of the scare stories on this forum) who needed to summon medical help for a vaccine reaction.

If you value your own life, I suggest you just ignore all the ignorant scaremongering, and take care of yourself, like the big girl you are.

You mean the imaginary virus that killed over half a million people in the US alone? That's a hell of a lot of "imaginary."
 
Hubby and I had both our shots (Pfizer) .. slight soreness a site of injection for a couple of days. Nothing more.

Daughter had sore arm for a few days (Moderna). Sister had Astra Zeneca, and had only sore arm.

I hope you don't put off getting your shot for much longer, Deb.
