May 11, 20215 yr Just 11% of people who remain unvaccinated say they definitely will get the shot, while 34% say they definitely won’t, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Another 27% say they probably will and 27% say they probably won’t.

Another 27% say they probably will and 27% say they probably won’t. There are roughly 40% of eligible Americans yet to get their first dose. So depending on when this poll was conducted, if we assume those who said they'd probably or will get it (38% of this subset) we'd be adding about 15% to the 52% of people who already got their first dose, for a total of 67%. Not too far off from the benchmark of 70%, but one that still remains as an ambitious target. Food for thought to all the trumpbots who said Biden was setting goals that were too easy.

May 11, 20215 yr I got my first dose of Moderna yesterday afternoon - no real side effects other than some soreness at the injection site, and my P grew from 8 to 10 inches.

May 11, 20215 yr So personally, I will wear masks until they are not "mandated" and then I'm done with them. I might consider wearing one though if I get the flu and need to go out.
May 11, 20215 yr I signed up because at some point soon I feel it's going to be necessary to be vaccinated in order to do any real traveling.

May 11, 20215 yr 2nd Pfizer shot tomorrow and have upped my dose of Vitamin D, Zinc, Omegas, and a few others to see if that helps nullify some side effects.
May 11, 20215 yr Anecdote: Last month I went hiking in the woods. I was in-between immunizations, and the kids are not vaccinated, so we wore our facemasks. (Some of the people we encountered on the trail wore masks, but a majority did not.) We took a break a good distance off-trail, so I lowered my facemask, to drink, talk, etc. But I felt my nose tickle as the pollen shot up my nose, so I pulled it back up. I think I'll just keep wearing a facemask in the spring, to help my hayfever.

Obviously the best bet if you are sick is staying in, but if you absolutely have to go out and you have the flu you definitely should mask up. The Japanese already do it. It's never been done here, so people naturally feel self-conscious about it, but now that we've removed the mask stigma, it's definitely a good practice to adopt.

Down here the pollen has been out of control for weeks. My car is covered in yellow dust. I wash it off, and it's covered again the next day.

Mostly these are around foods. I would think that if your body can learn to not be allergic to things later in life that our immune systems can also learn to protect us later in life as well. We are constantly being exposed to new germs and viruses so if that wasnt the case, we’d all be dead by now. I'm lactose intolerant and 30 years later and I still destroy toilets after consuming pizza. One of these days my body will just deal with it ! 😜
