I had a really sore arm, low grade fever and chills for 3 days or so, but nothing else. Did you get the Moderna or the Pfizer?

I've heard anecdotally there a fewer side effects from Pfizer. That's the one my wife got and she only had a sore arm both times. Second time was less sore, actually.

Follow up surveillance on people who first got vaccinated in December confirms that the Pfizer and moderna vaccines are 90% effective. These are people who continued to get tested at their workplaces on a regular basis. The 90% effective rate is misleading because of the way that number is derived comparing infection rate in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated people. In reality, only 3 people in a group of 2700 who were fully vaccinated got infected, and these are people with a high risk of exposure like healthcare workers.

Britain’s vaccine strategy of giving more people one dose as opposed to getting people fully vaccinated seems to be paying off. London recorded zero covid deaths today. Two months ago there were 200 deaths a day.

Covid deaths in the UK are now down 95% from Mid January

Of the five completed clinical trials amounting to nearly 100,000 people receiving a vaccine only one person needed to be hospitalized for covid.

I guess I really am psychic. Woke up and turned on my side to fall back asleep, when all of a sudden my sinuses completely drained, my throat no longer had a plug of mucus like it always does,and my body felt completely relaxed. This never has happened before, so was completely confused, since I sleep on that side all the time. After a while of daydreaming i wondered how long until I had to get up til work, and saw through my blurry vision it was 2:30 and i had an email of sorts. Went back to bed, and woke up later to find out i could schedule my first moderna shot next Monday afternoon.the email came right after 2 pm, apparently right before I woke and felt that strangely relaxed feeling. My phone is on silent too, so it wouldn't have woken me up, nor was i expecting an email back anytime soon.
Guess ill be getting that tiger tail sooner than I thought!

The moderna vaccine was developed in two days. They didn’t need a single virus. They just needed the genetic code.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/moderna-designed-coronavirus-vaccine-in-2-days-2020-11%3famp
Quote:
On January 11, researchers from China published the genetic sequence of the coronavirus. Two days later, Moderna's team and NIH scientists had finalized the targeted genetic sequence they would use in the vaccine.
"This is not a complicated virus," Bancel told The New York Times.
By February 24, Moderna had shipped its first vaccine batches to NIH scientists in Bethesda, Maryland.
Here’s the mRNA code of the moderna vaccine

There are four letters in dna and rna. Every three letters is called a codon that encodes an amino acid. 64 possible combinations, but most amino acids are represented by more than one codon.

Here’s a short video that describes how the rna is translated into a protein

How mRNA Technology Could Change the World
Synthetic mRNA is the wave of the future. Vaccines can altered in days to adjust for variants. Yeast cells can be ordered to make protein based drugs on demand. Some people have genetic mutations that make mutated proteins that don’t work. Synthetic mRNA will cure these diseases.

Counterintuitive, but good news to come out of the pandemic: it appears that suicide rates plummeted in the US last year. If these number hold out, it would mean 2020 saw the largest reduction in suicides ever recorded in the US year over year.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2775359
Quote:
During the pandemic period, the incident rate for suicide deaths in Massachusetts was 0.67 (95% CI, 0.56-0.79) per 100 000 person-months vs 0.80 (95% CI, 0.68-0.93) per 100 000 person-months during the corresponding period in 2019 (incident rate ratio, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.64-1.00).
That’s a 16% reduction in the suicide rate.

for good or ill.
Remind you of the old adage 'a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing'?
I believe we are living in a very small window where our species medalling in things, it doesn't fully understand the consequences of, is tolerated. It is only a matter of time before we are 'hoist by our own petard'.

sad as this situation was I will be very happy if a lot of good mRNA tech comes out of it long term. theoretical applications seem limitless

I spent 45 minutes hitting reload on the Walgreens site until suddenly an appointment opened.
They scheduled my second appointment for 28 days so it looks like I’ll be getting the Moderna.
