Covid or regular......both will have about the same chance of helping....several strains of Covid already identified and counting......cure as likely as “cure” for STDs.Who’s getting the flu shot this year?
Who’s getting the flu shot this year?
One of the worst cases of the flu I've had was after I took my first ever flu shot. Obviously the vaccine didn't match up. Well fast forward a couple of years and I hadn't been getting the vaccine and I REALLY got influenza. Turned in to full blown pneumonia and I ended up with asthma out of the deal. I've been taking flu shots ever since that and have avoided influenza since then. I've had a bout of pneumonia secondary to a different virus but man I'm a believer in flu shots now. It really is kind of foolish to not get the flu shot especially as we age.Got it once, sicker than a dog. Pass ever since.
The different "strains" of COVID still contain the same antigens that the vaccines are being made to protect against. A vaccine won't be a "cure" for COVID, but it will keep millions of people from dying from COVID and it SHOULD help us have some fun again. Please get both vaccinations. Do it for football if nothing else. It will significantly lower the number of cases and fatalites of COVID.Covid or regular......both will have about the same chance of helping....several strains of Covid already identified and counting......cure as likely as “cure” for STDs.
My point is we are now backing away from the billion dollar “cure” vaccine to the equivalent of a”flu shot”........in Vegas this would be called playing craps. High expectations......low results.....and so much personal and economic angst to arrive at a bullshit ending.The different "strains" of COVID still contain the same antigens that the vaccines are being made to protect against.

Millions? That seems like an exaggeration.The different "strains" of COVID still contain the same antigens that the vaccines are being made to protect against.

Crap again? That's 2 out of the last 3 yearsMy SIL is a pharmacist and said that they are pretty sure they missed the mark this year, so they're scrambling to get the right one out. Doesn't really matter in Nebraska because flu season doesn't start until November anyway but apparently waiting is the thing to do.
Yeah you're right. Lets call it tens of thousands and not millions. I'm a little too far in to a mango margarita... I do believe a COVID vaccine will be effective and safe. IF enough people take it, it could really change things quickly.Millions? That seems like an exaggeration.
I've not been in favor of stay at home orders and lockdowns. I'm for opening schools. We still need a vaccine for life to return to normal IMO. What has been done to our economy is insane, but I have too many friends with comorbidities afraid to leave their house. We need a vaccine to remove the fear from going out to dinner. Our economy is depending on it now.My point is we are now backing away from the billion dollar “cure” vaccine to the equivalent of a”flu shot”........in Vegas this would be called playing craps.

I think it will be safe enough, relatively speaking. Effective? Kinda have my doubts on the level of effectiveness but it'll be good enough to make people feel safe enough to get back to normal. The strain running through the population now seems to have lost its virulence so it'll be hard to say what actually brought this to an end (when it happens).Yeah you're right.

Who frigging knows. Hospitals get the alert every year that "this is going to be the worst flu season ever" and "we are unsure of the vaccines efficacy" so it might just be the same deal.Crap again? That's 2 out of the last 3 years
Don't buy the "less virulent" stuff. It's still killing the same kind of people it was killing before. How we care for patients has changed dramatically from the early days and that has helped. One large helping factor IMO is that people are consciously making an effort to get some sunlight just about every day. The virus IMO only looks less virulent because huge numbers of young people are getting tested that weren't getting tested before.I think it will be safe enough, relatively speaking. Effective?

Well it does kind of stand to reason that it isn't as virulent as it was. Compare Italy and New York to Florida and Texas. Something has probably changed other than sunlight. Maybe people are trying to be more healthy and that explains it. Doubt it, but its possible.Don't buy the "less virulent" stuff. It's still killing the same kind of people it was killing before.

This vaccine will work. The subunit Corona virus vaccines for animals are very effective.

Of course, I know people who refuse to get their kids vaccinated for HPV even though it has been proven that it will pretty much guarantee they will never get cervical cancer. I even had one mom tell me she believed it would give her kid free reign to have sex. You just can’t fix stupid.
Me too! We have gone out of our way to get carry out at almost every local restaurant multiple times to try to keep them going. Always give 20%+ tips to help... Encourage others to do the same...I have single handily supported the economy of a town the size of Kearney by my eating out. I ❤️ Restaurants.
