my folks covered for shots so glad there.
as for wife and myself, no rush at all. i'm all for vax of estasblish diseases but i'm not running out the door for this one. will wait a bit and see. and yes for this one it's worthwhile being 'choosy' IMO.
I'm in the same boat here. parents have been vaxed. I don't leave my house or see anyone so I can wait. part of my hesitancy wants to see how they handle the 2nd dose first. I don't know what's up with the 4 months in between doses but i'm thinking they could possibly fuck up administering the second dose they way things are going.

Another summer of 'working' from the cottage for the politicians. They will see if they can string it along for next year too.

j&j vaccine halted in USA for blood clotting. Reminder that these vaccine companies are legally not liable for anything that happens to you after taking it. Was part of the clause that let them come out so fast.

This 3rd wave with the new strains seems to be exponentially worst. Happy my Mom got her shot.
I am not in a hurry to get my shot only because i can work from home. Get the people who work in the public their shot.....
Was able to get some KN95 at Costco earlier in the week. That stuff fits so much better.

What I want to know is what is the general health of the majority of these younger (lets say under 50) Covid patients that are requiring hospitalization or EMT treatment? They're saying younger patients are requiring hospitalizations, but are they smokers? obese? sedentary lifestyles? Not much about this in the media as these numbers / reports we see daily don't discuss this, just an increase in numbers meant to scare us into compliance....
As for the AZ recommendation to not be given to those under 55, I see this as just playing a numbers game. If you are over 55 you may be statistically more likely to have serious complications from Covid, so take your chances with AZ if its all you can get, however if you're younger take the Covid and statistically you'll survive. Its clearly an inferior vaccination, pretty sad how its being pushed on us like we're in a third world country.
I still debate taking the AZ if I could get it, but having had extremely rare side effects of medications find me, I'm hoping I could wait for one of the better two and battle Covid, were it to find its way into me.

Good to see you post, I am pretty aligned with you.
For example the JJ vaccine and the apparent "blood clots", i think the risk is something like 6/1,000,000 and of the 6 blood clots only 1 was a death. On a risk adjusted basis how is this even an issue and why would they cancel the vaccine when covid in absolute numbers is something like 100x relatively more dangerous than a blood clot.
In a long winded way if I had the option to vaccinate vs. not and JJ was the only thing available I'd consider it long and hard.

I mean no disrespect to the virus, it's severity and it's ability to change course to effecting younger people more severely. By no means do I feel immune to it despite not having any known comorbidities and I'm not a super fit athlete or gym rat myself. I consider locating the AZ everyday, because it might be better than nothing, but given the numbers driven recommendations, i think for many, waiting for the more proven vaccines seems like something you or your family could beat yourself up about less were something to go wrong leading to your demise (with either the vaccine or the virus).
I remember at the beginning of all this they were mentioning confirmed cases and assumed cases , and I know this had a lot to do with the lack of testing, but I felt those numbers were powerful and wonder why they aren't reporting those numbers today, as I'm sure there is a way to scientifically guess what the Actual cases are based on the amount of people that are still asymptomatic in random testing.
Sorry to you 355-Si and all other health care workers that have to deal with this longer because of our government's failure to procure or produce quality vaccines sooner. Thanks for your continued hard work.

It does t matter what their general health is. Bottom line is people are getting sick. It's impossible to isolate the well healthy from obese smokers. This shit is highly contagious. As much as I'd like to distrust the media. The facts are out there. Remember this is a global pandemic not just USA and Canada.

Right, going full "communist mode" will show that virus. NOW it will work for sure.
How about getting vaccines available for the public?

well, people have been ignoring this "Stay Home" order. The driving range by my place is always full, nearby parks are full of cars.
It's finally time to do something. FUck "my rights". That's what's causing this drag.
Australia did a heavy intensive lock down in the beginning. People were angry. But they are now almost Covid free with only 29,000 Total Cases.
It's too late for us now, but whatever encourages people to stop fool around, I am good with it.
Even with this new authority, you know most cops won't do anything. We are sick of this.
You don't like it, but the best way to beat Covid is going full Communist mode. Countries that had heavy restrictions in the beginning, they are sitting at restaurants with friends today.
agree with all of this. just be glad we're not like brazil at 3000 deaths a day. lol

Ya it really sucks. She is devastated and posted a self video in tears. I would be too if my parent's life saving surgery was cancelled.
That is horrible. Feel so bad for your friend. I don’t understand why stories like this isn’t making the news more. So many people now are being diagnosed with late stage cancer and the list goes on and on. This is some 3rd world shit Canada.
