    Team doctors thought I had it last February when Gary,CJ and me got deathly sick on our road trip. Anti-bodies test proved I hadn’t got it.

    20 hours since the shot. No side effects whatsoever. Woke up feeling like I had a charley horse, that’s it.
    One thing though, my phone is getting much better signal when I hold it next to where they gave me the shot, interesting.
    Halfway there FAMS!

    i had every symptom of it. literally every one. so did my wife, my co workers and a few friends. literally within a couple week span.

    here is a true scenario for you:

    i have a friend (mitch) and his wife (carol). they live at home with their 2 sons (Brandon and Cameron), Cameron's girlfriend (Samantha) and their daughter. well, Brandon tested positive for covid. they all got sick with the exact same symptoms as Brandon within 12 hours. so they all went to get tested. literally everyone else tested negative. Brandon was the only one to test positive. how is this possible? bad testing. has to be. either he tested a false positive or everyone else tested a false negative.

    also, my mom worked (retired) from Kaiser in their microbiology lab (for 20+ years). she said the machines they use for testing covid run in cycles (i cant remember what the machines were called. she told me, but i forgot). they give out false tests all the time.

    All valid concerns.

    #2 is the one that really gets me. A major argument in favor of other vaccines is the value of herd immunity--vaccinating nearly everyone so that those who can't are still protected. But if a COVID-vaccine recipient can still spread the virus, that seems to eliminate a lot of the upside.

    Things had moved into conspiracy theories and other interesting topics. Really didn't belong in the main forum anymore.

    That’s simply not true. Herd immunity to a disease happens when there are enough people who have obtained immunity, either by having the disease or by getting vaccinated, that it can’t spread readily because there aren’t enough potential hosts to keep the spread going. Immunity doesn’t have to be perfect for that to happen. A recent study has shown that the real world efficacy of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines is about 90 percent. That’s far in excess of what would be needed to stop community spread if most people were vaccinated. Beyond the 90 percent overall efficacy, the vaccines have been shown to be virtually 100 percent effective at preventing serious illness. People who don’t get vaccinated are not only putting themselves and their loved ones at greater risk, they are lengthening the duration of the pandemic and all of the death and economic impacts that go along with it.

    Maybe you'll change your mind if you get Covid-19. Of course, then it will be too late.
