the problem is that people seem to think that because this is inevitable then that must mean that its ok and society will just keep on going on as normal

I figured if it gets to a point where someone asks to see my record, it's probably better to have it consolidated. I asked for a third dose.

Though I sort of felt like I was getting tested when the person at the pharmacy asked if I was getting my first shot.

The issue is that this is being presented as everything going back to normal and all mitigation efforts being thrown in the trash when the disease hospitalizes 7-10% of people who get it and this means regular quarterly hospital system collapses.

It’s like the British deciding that V2 buzz bombs were just endemic to London and that it were possible to live “normally” while random houses blew up every night.

yeah, you have a better chance to catch a bad covid infection if you wait till 8 months

you short term in-blood antibodies start fading somewhere between 2 and 4 months, and around 8 months they can be gone.

talking about body stuff with absolutes is hard, but from the studies, 4-6 months looks like the best time to get a booster. good/bad immune systems can shift the numbers, but on average, you should get your booster around 6 months.

I'm no vaccine expert but the side effects show up within 2 months and the injection of the vaccine is consumed and eliminated within 24-46 hrs. I would think that getting it at 6 months vs 8 months should be studied but shouldnt have a huge difference.

Yeah I want to keep it legit for some stupid reason and I have an irrational feeling that booster shots will be a free-for-all by the time I hit the 6-month mark in late October so I'm willing to wait it out until then but not much later

it helps that I'm in the only state in the union that has absolutely no red in it right now on those risk level maps

I'll probably get my yearly flu shot within the next couple weeks to tide over my immune system, as a treat

I think it makes more sense to get it under the booster because then future vaccine passport/records will be complete.

Though I do guess lying to get the first shot and then getting the booster when it's open might be a cute trick to staying one shot ahead.

the behealthy masks are good but if you get their adjustable 94s, the adjustment mechanism is a hole you have to thread the earband through, and the earband string comes out of that hole really easily. So if you have a younger kid don't count on the adjustment thing to ensure a good fit
