Who here has already been vaccinated? Who is not planning on getting vaccinated?

Nordberg said:
The functioning of the vaccines is nebulous to non-medical people. It says the vaccine works at the RNA/DNA level . It gives your DNA "instructions to make a harmless kind of Corona virus. Your body then makes antibodies to fight it off. Then, if you get the real thing, your body will remember the virus and quickly make white cells to defeat it. Couldn't they have sent an email?

The mRNA in the vaccine contains instructions for the proteins that compose those spikes on the surface of the virus. Those are what allows the virus to dock with and invade your cells. Your immune system "sees" those foreign proteins as invaders and creates antibodies for them. Then, if you are invaded by the real thing at a later date, your immune system is primed and ready to go because it will recognize those same proteins. Here's an article if anyone is interested.

I just registered with the state, it took about a minute...they claim I will get a text when I am eligible.
 
I'm patiently waiting my turn.
I'll let others push the Elderly and Frail out of line so they can get theirs.

And it is often claimed that the "unhoused" cant access the process even though I was recently reading someone who spent a couple of weeks being a Street Person in order to "see what it was like" who reports that just about everyone that he got to know during that time had a smartphone, and knew how to get internet access.
 
I'm fully vaccinated, with the Moderna vaccine got my second shot on the 23rd of February!

Despite fraught circumstances, the large majority of people experiencing homelessness remains connected and tech savvy. "Ninety-five percent of people who are homeless have mobile phones, and 80 percent of those have smartphones," said Spriggs.

That was 2016...bet its higher than 80% now

Jesus, I know. They're all supposed to be helpful. J&J is just not over the baby powder scandal yet and people are a little reluctant.
I hope all of your folks get taken care of soon.

Well the dirty little secret is that a huge portion of the street people are there by choice, either because they enjoy the lifestyle or because they are unwilling to work on their addictions and/or mental illness. You see that clearly with all of the people who refuse the options to get off the street when they are offered. Now that free motel rooms and free apartments are being offered even fewer will be willing to pull their own weight, that is considered a chump move when the nanny state is willing tp provide for them and ask little or nothing in return.

Guess J&J didn't pay this Dim Mayor as mush as the others....Pfizer$

Clinical trial data from the J&J vaccine reported it showed it was 85% effective in preventing severe disease and 100% effective against hospitalization and death.

IF I decide to get one it will only be J&J

Just like you, #10? Asking a mentally ill person to get help because they are sick is like asking a drunk if they are okay to drive. It's stupid since they are not in a position to make rational decisions.

Homelessness will mostly be cured by better mental health care in schools and society at large. As you just did, there's a stigma to mental illness where most people won't seek help.

It's why the suicide rate is higher for police and the military: their jobs are stressful, but they won't seek the help they need due to the social stigma that people who are mentally ill are weak and stupid.

#10, you're the person who isn't keeping up.....and both you and I know why.

Do you want to get better or is this the best medical science can offer for you?

It is two weeks before it is known to prevent symptoms. It is not known how well it prevents contagion, so there is no time limit on social distancing. Social distancing is not exactly quarantining. You should be doing social distancing before you get the shot, and after you get the shot.

lol.....social distancing is the only quarantining that matters......

Buzzword fallacy. Define 'normal Americans'. You mean 'Democrats', don't you?

This could turn out very favorably for America. Darwinism is a wonderful concept.

Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection has been falsified. It is not science.
The Theory of Evolution was not created by Darwin and it not falsifiable. It is a religion. It never was a theory of science.
