MakaVillian posted:Got both doses at the Telus Convention Centre. First one had a long line through the Plus 15s but still moved fairly quick, took about an hour from getting in line to leaving after the 15 minute waiting period. Second one, I pretty much walked right in and got the poke. I was impressed with how organized it was both times. Amazing how if you give the Health Care system enough resources, everything works pretty well! Telus has a vested interest in pumping as many people as possible full of that 5G.

I got Pfizer again which I was glad as people with Modena as their 2nd seemed to have worse side effects It's the next day and I'm feeling a bit like I'm coming down with a cold or flu, but confident I'll be fine tomorrow!

I had Pfizer then Moderna, as did my partner. I had a sore arm for ~3 days but not debilitatingly so, and a brief bout of dizziness about 24 hours after the shot. Partner had the same arm, and had a rough first night with a lot of flu symptoms, but those had dissipated by 24 hours after the shot. e: this was after the Moderna. Our first Pfizer shots were side effect-free. Muscle Tracer fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Jul 12, 2021 |

Had my second Pfizer shot and felt pretty fine the next day. Was worried that I got a placebo for a bit after reading about other people's reactions

Arabian Jesus posted:Had my second Pfizer shot and felt pretty fine the next day. Was worried that I got a placebo for a bit after reading about other people's reactions Pretty much me. Husband got Moderna both times, I got Pfizer both times. It’s been 12 hours and so far no symptoms at all except for the usual sore arm. Had some anti-vaxxers hanging out by the entrance to the drive through one for my husband. Screaming “gently caress YOU” to drown them out at the top of my lungs was cathartic. I was also amazed at the efficiency of the “hockey method”. I went early to my appointment cause nobody was in line, and the time from the front door to being stuck with a needle was literally a minute and a half. No exaggeration, I checked my phone! loving awesome when the health care system is actually funded and organized.

Just in case anybody is worried about second Moderna for some reason, it did indeed suck a lot, but symptoms for me and everyone I know have been limited to just 24 hours.

Basically my experience. Moderna was my second shot which I got on Saturday afternoon. Yesterday was pretty rough with a variety of things like chills, aches, and nausea. Not the worst I've ever felt but not pleasant. Last night I had some night sweats, but today I'm more or less back to normal besides feeling a bit tired.

I went to a local Shoppers Drug Mart again for my second shot this morning. It took longer to fill out the consent forms than it did to get the shot. First time I was waiting in line for 40 minutes as there was a backlog and they can only handle one vaccination at a time. This time it was in and out in 20 minutes including the 15 I had to wait after the shot.

Remembered this article recently: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/travel-rules-covid-19-vaccinated-1.6094133 “Although vaccinated Canadian travellers are now exempt from quarantine, they're still required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test before returning to Canada and must take a second test upon arrival. The federal government covers the cost of the arrival test. However, travellers must arrange and pay for their pre-arrival test, which could cost hundreds of dollars, depending on which country they are departing.” Sorry I don’t know what DK means (Denmark?) but this is the last I could find.

It's a real crapshoot though. After my second Moderna jab the symptoms were pretty minor: Sore spot on my arm at injection site, a couple days of persistent fatigue, and that's it. I lucked out with no fever, chills, or anything more severe. Account for self reporting bias and I'm sure the minor or no symptom cases outnumber the severe ones, just as the clinical trials have predicted.

I got my second Moderna on the 14th (of June), started feeling lovely the morning of the 15th, and then was knocked out for pretty much exactly two weeks. Super nauseous, weak, alternating between hot and cold flashes. Went to urgent care on the 21st and was told I was dehydrated and to get my electrolytes up. Went back on the 24th because I felt just as lovely but was also peeing every 30 minutes, this time I got some super-gravol which helped. Started feeling like a human on the 28th and then normal shortly thereafter. It is also entirely possible I got a stomach bug at the same time as my vaccination, but it's more fun to blame it all on the vaccine.

I think the side effects are a total dice roll. Some people feel absolutely nothing, some have mild symptoms, and some get knocked on their rear end. GF and I got Pfizer for both our doses, and we were actually shocked that we shared almost identical experiences both times. First shot was a mildly sore arm for a day, second shot was the sore arm again with a general feeling of laziness, but the latter could be cause by so many other things.

It dragged on for like 2 days for me (started 24 hours after I got the shot, ended 48 hours after that) but it wasn't that intense.

Got Moderna for both shots, second shot was on the 8th. First shot was arm soreness and general lethargy. Second shot gave me flu-like symptoms, primarily muscle soreness, joint pain, and chills so bad that I can't remember the last time I shivered so hard. The worst symptoms lasted maybe a day and a half. Oh, and I also got a pink, puffy rash just below (not around) the injection site on my bicep instead of the deltoid. That lasted a little longer, and is pretty much gone today. 10/10 would do again.

Man I missed out on all the cool side effects My first shot felt like a placebo, my second shot I felt a bit crappy and low energy that night, and was fine the next morning. Double Moderna. Fully expecting my wife to get utterly waylaid however, her first shot made her feverish the rest of the day. We intentionally booked our shots on different days to make sure at least one of us would be healthy and able to offer aide to the suffering partner.

For some reason young women 18-30 have started to really, really not like Justin Trudeau. 18-29 Men: Singh vs Trudeau: 55 to 49. Not too far off. Men like Trudeau fine. 18-29 Women: Singh vs Trudeau: 56 to 29. That's a 20 point plunge there for some reason.  From the latest abacus data released this morning https://abacusdata.ca/party-leaders-canada-abacus-july-2021/

It's because Trudeau's beard game is weak. He cannot hope to compete with Singh and so he shaved it off in shame. The bald guy is polling even worse. Women notice.

FYI in terms of Variants of Concern https://www.narcity.com/covid-19-vaccines--variants-new-study-shows-vaccines-are-very-effective-against-4-variants even one dose has a huge effect on your chance of hospitalization/death. A big danger of COVID has always been it's novelty, because the standard pattern is that exposure in infancy/very young helps prime your immune system for a response, which obviously no one had for COVID. Even with variants, the evidence so far is that the vaccines are really working, so as long as we keep it up, our death rate should be much better even with the spike in cases from reopening. Don't be stupid, but understand the risk in context.

I've done online market research for a decade and I just started a new gig that focuses on phone surveys and the idea that someone would stay on their phone to answer a 25 minute questionnaire for little to no reward has blown my mind.

Beelzebufo posted:FYI in terms of Variants of Concern So this is positive news but I think it's really bad for outlets to be reporting on pre-print non peer reviewed studies. I assume they found it on arxiv or something. This is not all the way through the scientific process yet. It's probably fine in this case but I don't like it. This is how you get incorrect information blowing up in the press and retractions or updates don't put the genie back in the bottle.

PT6A posted:One other thing I found that was curious about the census language questions was that it only asked about languages-other-than-English-and-French being spoken in the home, not whether you could speak and understand them -- but it did specifically ask if you speak/understand English and French regardless of whether it's used in the home. Probably a workforce stat. English and French are the language you will probably use country wide while working even if you do not speak it at home.

This happened to me by accident once. Got a call to do a survey about local radio stations that started with the guy asking me for a list of ones I knew. Trying to be helpful I gave him a list of about a half dozen. They survey design had about 5 minutes of questions for each radio station you mentioned, and I felt bad for the guy so I just kept going.

In the least surprising anecdote ever my dad does this because he used to do phone research himself and feels like he had to and/or feels sorry for the people calling. He is also nearly 90 years old so the surveys take 10 times longer than they should and by the time he’s done the surveyor is probably the more annoyed one.
