Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
US out of UN, UN out of US
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

Good news! We don't have the J&J shot here in Canada because it hasn't been approved yet. I'm currently waiting for my second shot of AstraZeneca.
That's good to hear. Glad you're not running out willy-nilly to tempt fate.
I'm about two weeks past "full vaccination," having received the Moderna vaccine. No side effects here but a sore arm for a day. I'm looking forward to resuming something resembling a normal life, only with masks on occasion and working from home. (They'll have to drag me back to the office and I'll probably leave nail marks on the door jamb.)
Yay!
I heard from someone who got the J&J vaccine that they also felt a little under the weather the day they got it. Then? Nothing.
I got my shots too. No side effects. Zilch. Nada.
XOXO
Congratulations.
We get our second Biomtech next week, so by the end of the month we are considered immune.
Still under lockdown here in Germany though :-(
Wonderful news! I'm very pleased for you. My husband and I are waiting for our second shot but we're already feeling so much better with an added layer of protection.
I'm three months past my second Pfizer shot. Never had any kind of reaction to either one. No matter which shot you had, the main benefit of them is you won't die even if you do catch COIVD-19.
I also made a copy of my card to carry with me. Today it was announced you don't have to wear a mask or social distance if you're vaccinated. I can hear the "prove it" coming.
YAY!!! I'm so glad you are now vaccinated. They say Hawaii should maybe reach 70% vaccination by June. Fingers crossed.
So glad to hear that you got your vaccine, Infidel! I had a very, very painful arm and some flu symptoms after the first and a pretty sore arm and some flu symptoms after the second. As I said at the time, a helluva lot better than being dead. My sister had her vaccines, too, and for the last few weeks, she's been coming over twice a week for dinner. We were saying just the other day how weird it is that it feels so normal for her to be here.
My biggest sense of relief was that my son got vaccinated. He lives in NYC and COVID hit him pretty badly the week after he moved there. I was so worried about him and knowing he was vaccinated allowed me to finally relax a bit. The only problem, according to him, is that I am team Pfizer, and he is team Moderna, so he can no longer associated with me. (I don't know who raised him!)
Debra: Sounds good -- you're in the home stretch.
Bluzdude: Sounds like once the vaccine protection is in full effect, you can even drop the mask in most situations -- though I'll wait for more detailed information on that. Hope you can avoid going back to an office.
Sixpence: It's been three days now and I haven't had any side effects except for that few hours of sleepiness.
Phat: Germany seems to keep going back and forth on lockdowns. I'd think they'd be better organized.
Martha: Good for you. It does seem to make a huge difference to safety.
Mike: I'll be making a copy of my card too. They look pretty easy to fake, unfortunately. The anti-vaxxers are going to be a problem.
Kay: That's good -- June isn't far off. I think Oregon is getting close as well. The cities might well be there already (rural Oregon is pretty Trumpy).
Nonnie: Thanks! It's going to be strange going out with no mask, when we get to that point. But I think people will get used to it. I felt silly the first few times I used one, but I got used to that.
Feels good to be fully vaccinated!
