Im getting my first shot on monday. It will be either Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Those people who have already taken the vaccine, please share how it went and what were the side effects, if any?
Pennsylvania will be lifting the mask order on June 28 or when 70% of the population of the state is vaccinated, which ever comes first.
When has kissing strangers ever been safe? I don't think a vaccine will change that.I guess I can now safely kiss strangers
There is no judgement, my daughter asked a question and was treated very badly. She is concerned for her children. All of the adults in the family have been vaccinated but we wear our mask any place that has children or signs plastered everywhere (like they were at the hotel) because it is the right thing to do. If you can't tell if someone has been vaccinated but you and your children have to interact with them in a place that has "You must wear a mask" plastered on every wall it is not unreasonable to ask why no one is wearing a mask. If it were just her she would not have been bothered. I do agree, let adults make their own decisions, and because of so many adults we all know who make bad decisions, then protect yourself and your family. But in another thread you were the one asking why the government wasn't doing something. So which do you want, adults to make their own decisions or the government to "protect" everyone?Why look at and judge people in such a way by questioning people's vaccination in regards to those not wearing a mask now, if you're concerned about that then continue to wear a mask, simple...My view is let people make their own decisions, if we are vaccinated we shouldn't have to worry so much...I'm not about to start judging and condemning people for wearing or not wearing masks because of any uncertainty of them being vaccinated or not...The vaccines are working, those vaccinated are protected to a comfortable degree...I also agree with @Area201 no booster shots, no follow-up vaccines, I got the first initial vaccine from J&J, no future shots for me...

If you don't understand that it is here to stay just like influenza then you need to read up on how virus' work. Are you afraid of the flu? In a few years the scientists will have a better understanding and a more reliable vaccine and people will get to choose whether they take it every 6 months or not, just like the flu. In the meantime, we don't have all the information so there most likely will be a 3rd wave and maybe a 4th.Vaccines and masks are not really questions of personal taste in the matter.
That 30% that didn't take vaccine will continue spreading old and new variants of the virus and eventually, they'll infect everybody else and we'll have 3rd epidemic wave. Not to mention that people who are not vaccinating are effectively helping new variants of COVID to develop.
The real question is can our economies afford new variants and 3rd epidemic's wave?
Do we want COVID to become a permanent way of life for a whole generation? I hope not!
Not taking vaccines should be criminalized as an act of domestic terrorism. That's what I think.

OK, I don't really see where your argument is heading.
So scientists are going to come up with better vaccines, which in turn 1/3 of people will not take and they'll keep on infecting others who took vaccines. Vaccines are not perfect, Zaneca vaccine only protects you 90% so one still has a 10% chance to get toasted. So all the "better understanding" is going into the dustbin. The vaccines are not a problem, that 1/3 of people are.
Flue and covid are similar but not the same. COVID irreversibly destroys your lungs, flue just causes a fever.
