Coronavirus

I didn't actually watch so I can't comment on jf it was square or torx style.

I think they only stop pushing it in till they hit bone also hahaha. I've had 1st and had a sore arm but no symptoms. my 2nd is scheduled. Wife got 2nd Tues and had a fever that night but went to work next day. Said she felt chills but no cold like symptoms. We are both in our 40s. She is a nurse and one of the last at the hospital to get it but encourages everyone to get it. She's seen a dramatic decline in cases since the vaccine has ben distributed here. Be safe and wash hands. We still wear a mask if gonna be around people but mainly looking forward to family gatherings more than anything.

Seems to still be some debate whether getting vaccinated "stops the spread". Folks that don't think it helps should do a web search for R0 or R-naught and check out the science of transmissiblity and how things like vaccines or even masking can stop a pandemic in it's tracks. For something like Covid it does not even matter if 10 or 15 out of a hundred vaccinated people get sick - if enough people get their shots the pandemic is OVER.
Now if a disease has a transmissibility like Measles, which has a R0 of 12-18 (meaning one person can infect 12-18 people) you need to have a very effective vaccine in a large majority of people to prevent outbreaks.

Got my second Covid shot today. I asked he nurse if I would grow any extra toes and without missing a beat she said: "probably not, but if you do let us know, we will need to update the info on the microchip that we injected."

So far I feel fine.

Might as well be torx shaped if they're gonna make it weird.

actually it's security Torx, so the blood can squirt out thru the hole

Illinois is so broke... they suggested I bring my own band aids... and a tourniquet was highly recommended in case the lunch lady they had doing the injections was having a bad day.

I don't know why I didn't think of that!

Everyone there already has their own needles, right?

Not the fancy hooked, barbed safety torx one that is required.

Even if you hate needles, the shot has got to be more fun than being on a ventilator. Or having "brain fog" for 6 months after you recover.

Got my shot of astra-zeneca yesterday. I feel fine. Needles are a hell of a lot sharper than 40 years ago....
It only felt like having an arm ripped off...

Sounds like that one required some Flex Tape.

My niece's husband is throwing a fit because the Army is forcing him to get the vaccine before he gets deployed. He keeps yelling "They can't force me to take a vaccine!"

I simply pointed out they can, they already did, and they have been for 100 years.

He keeps yelling "They can't force me to take a vaccine!"

He’s funny.

Yes, you have to read the fine print in those employment documents you sign
