vaccine

There will be the rare individual for whom even the two doses don't work. But of the tens of thousands of vaccinated individuals, none died. That's good news. A single dose is much much better than none. But it will not protect everyone. If we could get one dose into everyone (not likely), it would greatly mitigate the pandemic in all likelihood. But there is no way of knowing. Right now, getting that first dose into everyone who is willing is probably more important than getting a second dose into many people, in my opinion, and in the opinion of a fair number of other knowledgeable experts. But many experts disagree.

I'm in the no way of knowing camp - just do not have anywhere near enough data to draw any conclusions other than yes there is a high probability that a single dose is much much better than none.

The city of Philadelphia cut ties with Philly fighting Covid. Philly fighting covid is a non profit 501 3c. They moved into the Pennsylvania convention center. For 3 weeks they have vaccinated people . Using the Pa. convention center as a central location. Oh but bad things happen in philly. Philly fighting covid turned to a for profit group and sold patients' info.

Did the organization do that or did some idiot working for them do that to make money? Big difference there; former loses the non-profit status; latter just gets a person arrested.

Organizational change. They removed their 501 c3 status. They are now a for profit group.An auditors caught it.

Really sad, but a reflection of the world we live in today. Some people just can't be straight and honest.

Most see a pandemic as a horrible happening, while others see it as an opportunity to make money.

And did not tell anyone..............wonder what their internal personal data terms were prior to that change; arbitrarily changing that w/o informing clients/patients could be a major legal issue.

Got my vaccination at 12:10pm today at our by-appointment-only county site. The entire shebang , beginning with directions given to me as I drove-up to the former grocerystore parking lot scene , was beautifully organized . Having arrived 15min early, as advised by the online sign-up site, I was sent from my parked car to the inside of the building at Noon, moved along the line of 6ft-apart standees , to a curtained little booth to a very pleasant and controlled medical technician , who gave me the shot . I was then kept on-site in a seating area for 15min of observation, then released .

I felt so calm and relaxed, and certain I had acted wisely, that I drove afterwards approx 20mi round trip to my favorite market, and had not the slightest wobble or lack of comfort.

Relaxing , now, with some recreational munchies.

Glad to have your approval, Rufybabes.

Just remember this in no way renders you invulnerable; hope you are scheduled for you 2nd dose, too.

I don't know. It's all just starting to unfold. Nurses are saying " fellow coworkers would leave at night with a few doses to sell on the street."

Medical records are pretty seriously protected by all sorts of laws; mainly privacy issues but then depending on the extent of the records insurance and pharma.
