anectdote time. i'm about 24 hours post second moderna shot right now and last night was pretty rough. about 12 hours after getting the shot i began getting the 'sore skin' and loopy fever feeling and went to bed with extreme chills and sweats. that peaked around 16 hours post-shot and has been fading since. my shoulder also hurts considerably more than the first shot did; sleeping on that side was difficult to impossible. today i still feel light-headed and weak but that could also be lack of sleep.

The reason to get the shot on a personal level is that it greatly reduces your chance of ending up in the hospital or dead and at a community level it helps reduce the R_0 and get us out of the pandemic. Tieing the shot itself to removing restrictions is terrible policy.

Government: you don't have to wear a mask anymore then! Guy: oh great, I don't need to get a vaccine anymore! Why would you eat your vegetables if you're going to get ice cream for dessert regardless?

Louisgod posted:well no poo poo, anybody could've told you this like at any point last year Sure but it is important to remember that it isn't a failure of government, but a failure of the governed, when stated goals of the government fails. That isn't to say the GOP and their electorate are without fault, but I think they are lining up the excuses for inevitable failure.

"CNN headline, CNN.com front page posted:"If you’re vaccinated and you're outside, put aside your mask," Fauci says CNN article posted:“We’ve got to make that transition,” Fauci said. “If you are vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask outside. It would be a very unusual situation, if you were going into a completely crowded situation where people are essentially falling all over each other, then you wear a mask. But any other time, if you’re vaccinated and you’re outside, put aside your mask. You don’t have to wear it.” What do you think people will hear? That said, last July I wore a mask when I was out walking 1.5 miles to the bus stop to get to Wal-Mart to pick up a prescription, and I was so sweaty and the mask was so sweaty by the time I got there, but I ran into bicycle riders one or two times on the way when they were coming up silently behind me galenanorth has issued a correction as of 17:59 on May 13, 2021 |

I'm reading through the reddit replies on the outdoor mask thing and they're ready to treat people who still wear a mask the same as an anti-masker because we're pushing them further into their beliefs or whatever. It's all so stupid and I'm so tired.

You might ask how you know if someone is vaccinated. Well, the answer is easy - if they aren't wearing a mask, just assume they're vaxxed.

I’m a dude and gave up on leaving the house unarmed when people started getting crazy about masks, so I’ve got a different, privileged perspective. Maybe it’s time to start MaskGang for mutual defense.
