    What is up with the WHO calling for a moratorium on booster shots and the CDC rejecting it? Who is more trustworthy at this point lol

    We both got the Pfizer vaccine as soon as they were offered. So far it has been like a mild flu for her. Hoping it stays that way. I really do love this human.

    No judgment intended either way, but was just curious if you're 12-year old got the vax?

    I believe both want to tackle the unvaccinated first before booster shots.

    Fwiw, heard from people we do business with in Israel that they are starting booster shots already.

    Yes. He’s a type 1 diabetic too, so after speaking with his doctors, they were unanimous in their recommendation to be vaxxed. He’s been fine. Made his numbers go high a bit having Covid but no other symptoms

    My 13-year old is asthmatic, so she was vax'd ASAP. She was down for a day after the vax, but she otherwise was fine. We felt it necessary (and would vax our 10-year old if we could).

    The one thing I was and am most anxious about is that viruses can trigger diabetes. With one already diabetic, we were worried that Covid could cause him to develop diabetes since it’s in our family. He and his brother who is diabetic are both celiac, so they have similar traits. Lotta fun over here.

    I'm sorry. I think the most stressful part of this entire pandemic (for me personally) has been wanting to ensure the safety of my children and my parents.

    Having asthma and the potential for the impact Covid can have on your lungs…..very happy you got her vaccinated. Think with my kids situation that’s why I’m pretty passionate about all this. How someone can willingly not accept something that prevents illness is nuts to me. It’s all I think about. I’d cut my legs off to take away his diabetes

    The vaccines don't actually confer immunity (prevent transmission) but simply reduce severity. Vaxxed people are testing postive left and right despite claims breakthrough cases are rare. People are using logic based around traditional vaccines to say everyone should be vaccinated or segregated. Unvaxxed and people researching are pointing out the faulty logic, with very recent science from the CDC and Fauci in fact, only to be ostracized based on a false premise.

    I wouldn't give up my legs, but I'd give an arm. She's a very strong swimmer, much more so than I've ever been. I wouldn't beat her in a race, but I'd at least be able to swim circles around her.

    I have a 12,13, and 14 year old (oldest turning 15 next week).

    All fully vaccinated. All were vaccinated as soon as it was available. Let's get this over with.

    Arkansas has gone from 100 new hospitalizations per day to 2800, about a fifth under 18. They are shipping patients to Colorado.

    Saw an interview with a woman in a hospital with Covid, she was behind plexiglass. She said she hadn't gotten vaccine because she figured she would be all right. She has hypertension and diabetes FFS.

    Not preventing transmission does not mean that transmissions are not being attenuated.

    About 2-5% of all cases have been vaccinated people. I posted the graphic earlier.

    The CDC and Dr. Fauci now say the percent of cases from the vaccinated is less than 0.001%.
    Belay that, it's 0.01 %.
