I got the first shot 2 weeks ago this coming Monday. It was moderna. I had very minor pain at the injection site which was completely normal for any shot but absolutely no side effects at all.

Today's update.
Death's continue to drop---but now total 555k+ and new cases continue to rise---however, this is concentrated in a handful of states---which includes the ones were I work and live---thank the Lord for vaccines

Yesterday shot causes a slight soreness all day. Went to sleep and awoke wanting to register as a republican.... No that was a nightmare. Feeling fine this AM.

Here’s a pretty concise chart from the CDC that shows age as a risk factor in COVID severity. It partially explains why there is such a disparate attitude toward lockdowns and such.

It will be interesting to see the statistics based on other risk factors as they are distilled.

That's a great find! Good work!!!
Today is the first time that I have noticed the infection rate trend downward---at -4%
But---at the sametime, last weeks worldwide infection rate hit a new all time high
I found this graphic very interesting--especially for parents with young children in making benefit/risk decisions of socialising. As a side note, my wife and I spent last weekend with our Grandchildren for the first time since Feb of last year. Included were a soccer game and two fast pitch softball games---there was a wide absence of masks in all.

I'm liking these odds a lot better after getting the 2nd shot. But 75M is a long way to getting close to herd immunity.Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that more than 5,800 out of 75 million fully vaccinated people in the U.S. have been infected with COVID-19. Of these “breakthrough cases,” 396 were hospitalized and 74 people died. The CDC defines a breakthrough case as someone who gets sick, either symptomatically or asymptomatically, 14 or more days after full vaccination. A few headlines about the report implied, rather irresponsibly, that the breakthroughs happened because the vaccines didn’t work. CNN, for instance, put it this way: “So far, 5,800 fully vaccinated people have caught Covid anyway in US, CDC said.”

Why is that? These shots have proven to be incredibly safe.
Impressive. For, unless I missed it, none of our members have refused to get vaccinated.
