any1 know if the Johnson vacinne like hits harder than the 2 dose ones?
ive been thinking id prefer a one shot for obv reasons but my health is sorta bad and im scared how any of them gonna effect me.

i got the J&J in March.

almost to the minute, 24 hours after my shot, i felt a little crappy/achy and took a 2 hour nap (my arm was a bit sore).
good to go after that!
i hydrated so much for the 24 hours before, though; i think like 146 ounces of body armor and about 64 ounces of water. no caffeine (which wasn't terrible) and i took all my meds like normal.

as far as health concerns go: i have terrible cholesterol, a non-working thyroid (=immunocompromised), and potentially the beginnings of RA... i'm not the healthiest person on the planet but i didn't really have any issues.

my sister is a little less healthy with autoimmune-induced cirrhosis at 35 and my dad is a cancer survivor who is now 65.
dad hydrated and had Moderna, other than being tired and a sore arm after the second one, he was fine.
sister didn't hydrate the first time and she was miserable with Pfizer; second dose with hydration and she was hit a lot less with symptoms as the first shot.

right on. hydration sounds important huh.

[rowjimmy]

Hydration is always important.
That said, I got Pfizer, I am not in great shape, have RA and take wacky drugs for it and I was sick for a day on shot 2.
Althea who is young and in reasonable health got the JandJ shot and said the side effects were not pleasant but not nearly as bad as Covid.

[mistercharlie]

I got the Moderna. No side effects aside from the sore arm in the first shot, I had less stamina than normal after the second shot, but that only lasted two days (I cut the grass two days after getting shot 2 and was exhausted by the time the front yard was done), but everything went back to normal after that.

how you feeling?!

widespread just announced they will require vax proof or a negative (48 hrs) test for their indoor arena shows in asheville next weekend.  if you don't wanna do it, they are offering a full refund of your ticket.

i think this is probably the way we're all headed for big indoor shows this fall/winter.  the music industry doesn't want to do this because it will decrease sales, but when faced with the possibility of another complete shutdown of big live shows, i think they'll take option 1.

[justjezmund]

Yeah I agree. When faced with the option of some money vs no money even places that don't want to will cave to the more responsible option.

Have to vent here...

I just found out that my Sister and Brother-in-law have caught the 'Vid. They are not vaccinated!?!?! To give some background, they have a son who has Ebstein's Anomaly. It's a heart defect that causes low Blood/Oxygen levels and dyspnea (difficulty breathing). The poor kid has had 7 heart surgeries in his short life so far to put new stints in his heart. Why the fuck is my sister not vaccinated having such an immunocompromised child!?!?! It really pisses me off that she has chosen to not get vaccinated and I'm sure it was all her Father (and his atrocious family) that have brainwashed her into not getting it. She used to be more like my mother and myself, but now she is apparently just like him.

Anyone else having second thoughts about  tour?

I'm having a hard time not seeing it as a needless super spreader event, which makes it tough to enjoy it all...
