Its getting more normal here too but people are still masked indoors, considering the new Delta variant that might be wise. About 50% are masked outdoors but it used to be at about 90%

Screw normal baby, I can't wait for mRNA to turn me into a gene-spliced mutant! A mask 'd still look cool.

One friend of mine said he had really vivid "fever dreams" after the second Pfizer jab.........

I had "mini-COVID" after mine and I thought it was kind of cool. It was like a minature dollhouse of a potentially fatal disease and the freakiest was when I was drinking coffee and my sense of taste went out and then came back and then went out etc. etc. so my coffee kept alternating between coffee flavor and warm water.

Remember Thick Beer = Thin Blood ..Or I just made that up but it sounds good.

The day offer my 2nd shot in mid-March I just had a general feeling of malaise, like you feel when coming out of a bout of the flu. No energy, achy and mildly depressed, but then again, I am in Cleveland after all, and the long winter and endless gray skies contribute to that too. Vitamin D is de rigueur in these parts.

Mostly though I just felt an enormous sense of relief.

I felt like shit after the first dose of AZ. Fever that lasted 24 hours then suddenly went away.

Yellow Fever shot did nothing to me, second shot of Hep A felt like I was punched, I seem to recall a reaction to the Japanese Encephilitus shot but AZ felt worse. Heard the second shot is a piece of cake.

Just got my 2nd Moderna. I think I've gotten every vaccine they've put out. Worst reaction by far was the Typhoid shot for Papua New Guinea, had to panic drop drawers in an alley in Montreal. Was SUPPOSED to get Anthrax on my last gig but I fell through the cracks and didn't bother reminding anyone.

I am now fully vaccinated having done 2 x trips to the UK from Tunisia recently (at great hassle and expense!) It was particularly tricky as I had to persuade them to give me my second jab at 22 days, but rules tend to be they want an 8 week gap for Pfizer on the NHS right now.

Got the Pfizer, no side effects apart from painful arm at injection site for the first one. Very happy to now have at least the potential for some travel in the future...

8 weeks? It was 3 when I did Pfizer but after I waited the 1 week waiting period after my second dose I had a routine allergy shot and my blood pressure spiked, so I am starting to think the 8 week period is better than the 3 week period.

When I got the second Pfizer shot I had "mini COVID" and it was really weird. Had all the symptoms but really mild or fleeting, like I would be drinking coffee and suddenly it would taste like "hot water with a little milk" and then it would taste like coffee again. It fluctuated back and forth like this for about 1 hour when I had been 16 hours into my second dose.

There might be a third booster dose too for Delta and other variants. Israel is claiming Pfizer is 64% effective against Delta while 95% effective against the others.

Those numbers are a bit off. The Israeli study was apparently not very well done. There have been a bunch of studies done in other countries that showed it's less effective than it is against the original strain, but still more than 80 percent. There was an article on this in the NYT a couple of days ago, but I can't be arsed finding the link. Apparently calculating the effectiveness of vaccines in the population (i.e. not in designed clinical studies) is not that simple.
