Know Your Sources

As someone who has spent the better part of my working career reading laws, regulations and agency notices, I always recommend going to the original source of a regulation or ruling since reports about these can be misunderstood.

The FDA notice published August 23, 2021 clearly states that it has approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for individuals 16 years of age and older. This vaccine will be marketed under the name Comirnaty. It is the exact same vaccine as what has been known as Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19, with the new name.

The vaccine also continues to be available under emergency use authorization (EUA), including for individuals 12 through 15 years of age and for the administration of a third dose in certain immunocompromised individuals.

So while the vaccine is still considered as EUA for certain individuals, this is not true for the vast majority of individuals who are eligible for the vaccine.

Unvaccinated Israelis – who account for 17 percent of the population eligible for a vaccine – currently make up about two-thirds of the total number of serious cases.

It was never claimed that any the vaccines are 100% effective at preventing infection with COVID-19. But they are effective at preventing serious infections, and subsequent death, in most vaccinated people. Sadly, a very small portion of vaccinated individuals may still die from COVID after being vaccinated, but the vaccines are the best method we currently have to prevent serious illness and death in most people.

I hope that others who may read this thread will continue to seek authoritative sources of information rather than rely on unverified social media.

Where do some of these people come from?

Still wear mask

Hello, curious, if the shots are effective why would you wear a mask?

I'm not so concerned for myself, but it seems pretty clear that you can be a carrier of the virus despite being vaccinated.  Young children, and others who have a legitimate medical exception, can't choose to be vaccinated, so out of concern and respect for their right to expect that sensible people will do the sensible thing, I wear a mask to contribute to the general well-being of the community.

I got my second Covid Shot yesterday and so far feel fine except for my arm is  sore. I noticed that lat night.

Every year that I get the flu sho,t I come down with flu like sysmptons...I get it pretty bad....but I never  get the flu again that season. I know the years I forgot to get the flu vaccine, I get the flu pretty bad and I get it two or three times in a year...So Yea Science....We just about erraticated small pox off the planet...through vaccines. Why not Covid. 

If someone came up with a vaccine about cancer would you take it; or now that we all have cancer, wouldn't we encourage our loved ones to get it. I lost my Mom at 5 years old to uterine cancer. There is not a day that goes by that I do not miss her...I am 62 years old. 

I think you laddies are Angels come to earth...I appreciate you insight wisdom and poetry. 

Congradulations, on the new truck...I just love that new car smeill. I got a Forester last year myslef. 

God Bless you all soo so much!

the ivermectin is not approved for use against the COVID virus.  It is used for parasites.  But you trust that more than vaccines that have been injected in more than 160 million people in the USA and whose roots have been studied since 2003 against spike protein viruses? You need to think not use emotions to make decisions.

I got my 1st shot 2 weeks after 5th infusion (March). A little lousy for a couple of days and probably a bit of a temperature. 2nd shot (April) 3 weeks after my 6th infusion. Same minor side-effects. And now I've been taking Zejula (immunotherapy) since first of June. I figured that since I was compromised for the first two shots and now I'm permanently compromised, I probably needed the booster more than the next girl!

Wow. Sick. Sick. Sick. No fever, no anything else, but extreme exhaustion. Like almost worse than chemo exhaustion...and that is BAD! Only difference was that at least while stationery, I felt fine, but when I would try to walk across the room I was afraid my legs wouldn't hold me. This went on for TWO weeks! On day 11 I called the ONC's office crying cuz I was scared and so sick of being basically an invalid, and the girl thought I was sick enough she got the doctor on the phone. There is such a paucity of data about side-effects of a booster, that we really can't know. He said he's known of patients feeling badly for 14-15 days. He emphasized 3 times...You did the right thing! And I'm glad you got it! 

Thank goodness on day 14 I finally turned a corner. On day 17 I was finally able to leave the house as a passenger. Today is day 19 and I feel 95% normal.

I can't stress this enough! What happened to me probably only happens to less than 10%, maybe 2%. I only wanted to share so that if some of you had similar reactions you might not be as alarmed as I was! I'm glad I got it! It's been scary horrible, but I think it just points to the fact that I really needed it. It was widely reported that compromised cancer patients were at risk of the vaccines not being as effective. I really had no choice, especially with the Zejula. In the midst of all that misery I was knee-deep in negotiations to sell a piece of property in Vermont that I've had on the market for two years. It could not be ignored! AND this means I have to get on a plane twice in October! And news from my neighbors is that while there I will need to be very careful, as their Delta cases are rising just as they are here.

(As some of you might recall, this is not my first trip across the country this year to take care of real estate stuff! This will be a totally different trip in that 1) it's MY stuff, and not a stressful mess like my uncle's! and 2) there's no place on earth more beautiful than Vermont in October!! ...just my ol' southerner's opinion ?.....)

That's my $.02!!
