Anyone gotten the vaccine yet? - Page 3

lmao.. there's no microchip.

got second dose of moderna today. it's been over 12 hours and have a sore arm and starting to feel some fatigue.

Brace yourself. It’s gonna be hell.

pepper for boosters:

Nevertheless, it is a “variant of concern” (VOC) and is being closely monitored. The genome sequencing carried out by a consortium of 10 labs in India, called the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Consortium on Genomics (INSACOG), has identified two important mutations in the new variant, giving it the unfortunate title of “double mutant”.

First, the E484Q mutation, which is similar to the E484K mutation identified on the Brazilian and South African variants, can change parts of the coronavirus spike protein. The spike protein forms part of the coronavirus outer layer and is what the virus uses to make contact with human cells, bind to them, then enter and infect them.

The vaccines have been designed to create antibodies which target the spike protein of the virus specifically. The worry is that if a mutation changes the shape of the spike protein significantly then the antibodies may not be able to recognise and neutralise the virus effectively. Scientists are investigating whether this may be the case for the E484Q mutation.

The second is the L452R mutation, which has also been found in a variant thought to be responsible for outbreaks in California. Scientists believe this mutation increases the spike protein’s ability to bind to human host cells, thereby increasing its infectivity. The study also suggests this mutation may aid the virus in evading the neutralising antibodies that both the vaccine and previous infection can produce, though this is still being investigated.

I don't know why there's too much hype with this microchip thing, if they're so afraid they could get it from Pfizer or Moderna, then take vaccines made by other countries.

Yeah I work in manufacturing... I don’t even know how they would get “microchips” in there. 10 at that. And somehow make sure that the nurse only grabs one for each dose. It’s laughable.

Also, feeling good today. Last night I felt pretty bad, had a tough time sleeping, but feeling normal today.

We all have different reactions to the vaccine and that's one thing I believe though, I'm glad all is well with you.

I read about that, but if I did get covid at some point I must've been asymptomatic.

Same. I am not getting it until the very last when I am basically forced to because of pressure from society.

I was about to tomorrow, but I realize that I will work the next day and can't risk the fact that my arm will be sore and I might get some side effects during work day

No sick hours?
