I've had both doses and next week will mark two weeks since my second, but I feel like I'm going to be wary going inside to eat at a restaurant for a very, very long time. Anyone else feeling the same way?

But I suppose it all comes down to personal risk tolerance in the end. My company is going to schedule some get-together at some point I'm pretty sure. I've avoided the previous ones due to not being vaxxed but I'm sure the pressure on me to show up to the next one will be large now that I actually am vaxxed. So that kinda sucks because I'd rather not.

Yeah that's why I've avoided telling anyone but a close few trusted people that I've been vaccinated

I'm holding out as long as I can so I can say "nah I'd rather not" especially to large group gatherings

Has anyone experienced double dip side effects? I got my second dose last Wednesday, Thursday was a nightmare but I've felt tip top since then. But today I've felt like I've had a low grade fever, a sore throat and my body feels fatigued. I thought it was allergies but a pill didn't seem to help me

Maybe I have something else but wanted to know if anyone else experienced this too

My brother-in-law (who is a 26 year old man btw) posted on Facebook (lol) that the vaccine was created by Bill Gates to reduce the population of the world by making people infertile.

Someone responded "This is dangerous misinformation. You own a grocery store, you owe it to your employees to get vaccinated."

BiL responded "BLOCKED COMMIE - guess the Soros checks are clearing again???"

He'll never get a vaccine, there's literally no way to discuss things rationally with someone like that.

Full approval means more places can mandate the vaccine without fear of legal repercussion, right?

I think *that's* the real key to boosting vaccination rates. Oh, you wanna go to an NFL game? Get vaccinated. You want to fly? Get vaccinated. You want to work at a job that includes face-to-face interactions with the public? Get vaccinated.

I don't know what the laws are on vaccine mandates, but generally it's corporations that push this so basically yeah what you said in the second sentence

I'm really waiting for the next chud talking point: "Oh yeah the FDA only granted it under political pressure because of BIDEN therefore I won't be taking poison thank you"

I mean... these pictures do not even do it justice to just how big this thing is and how many people have died from this (now pretty much completely preventable) disease


(the above is a panoramic view of the whole thing taken from just off the Washington Monument. I don't know if it captures the scale of it but I tried)





700,000+ flags. A lot of them have names, pictures, little notes to the deceased. It's like wandering through Arlington Cemetery with just rows and rows of white flags and inscriptions

I feel like I have a breakthrough case but it doesn't seem terrible (but I'm not sure what else it could be).

I woke up this morning and my body temp is slightly higher than normal. It reminds me of when I got the shot (Moderna) but on a much less worse scale. I've been kinda warm and tired all day, but my head and everything is fine. Woke up stuffy but I took an allergy pill and that cleared up
