Title: To Covid or not to Covid
Post by: Kong Vang on May 03, 2021, 04:27:42 PM
I got my shot back in February... because I am considered to be part of the first responder group. Recently, the vaccine requirements for my state was lowered to anyone over 16, as I am sure most states are in now. However, I have a few distance relatives who refuses to get it. I am not sure if they were serious or just joking, I don't joke about stuff like this and they weren't the sort of people I want a debate with, so I did not press them.

Question to the rest of you... honest answers please... are you getting it or have you? If not, why not.

I received both of my shots.

I'm pretty direct. Even if you're family, I'll minimize contact until I feel safe around you.

I got my covid shots already and because of that I do have more peace of mind venturing out.  Even if a person gets covid, after getting vaccinated, chance of hospitalizatio n/death is low compare to not getting vaccinated.  Research shows they're safe and working. 

Sharing a link vaccines experts share their thoughts on covid vaccines and hopefully will help you help your distant relatives:

First shot on dec 31st 2020, second end of january.  I'm still alive and well.  All my people getting the shots. 

Would love to be in your situation with a few family member who are anti vax.  When they get covid, I'll milk that 2021 covid supplement of 80hrs by staying home and caring for them but really now, I'll be on vacation.  No need to show proof cuz that's medical record and can't share that info. 

A few of my hmong friends already did the fake covid scandal just to milk that 80 hours.  Use it or lose it.

Now my question is this.  How long are we full vaccinated folks are good for?  Medication wearing off.  We need booster or re shoot me again.  I want to feel free and liberated around people once again.  Still taking precautions by masking up and washing my hands though, keeping my distance.  Only thing that we took risk for risky business is friends and family social gathering cuz no one mask in this one.

So you're saying Covid is not a hoax anymore? Hmm..

I'm giving it a few more months since the survival rate for most people is at 99%.

Not sure who your comment is pointed towards... but, no I never thought Covid was a hoax.

Trump was an idiot.

You're correct, for the young and healthy. But I have elderly relatives who are not in very good health  and it's for their welfare that I am also doing this. They are precious to me.

I haven't gotten it yet.

To be honest, I'm not in a big rush to get it yet because I don't know if I really trust that the vaccine was fully tested.

I'll probably get vaccinated by the end of the summer though. We'll see.

It's a very personal decision and I respect yours... However, there are many agency and regulations to safeguard our health in this country.

I have a cousin who's in the hospital right now with COVID.  She's in the ICU and  there's nothing the doctors can do but check her oxygen levels and keep her on the ventilator.  It's very serious and we're just praying that she pulls through some how.  I'd recommend you take the vaccine.  It's better than the alternative.

How old is your cousin?

---
I have a friend who had no intention of getting the vaccine (although everyone around them has had it) but during a random trip to walgreens they were offered moderna and they took it. I think there are some people who can't be bother to be actively making appointments but if the situation presented itself, they'll take it. I'm hopeful that those people are many.
mid 30's.

I wish more people were smart like you.  I have to admit, I've seen some really stupid people come through PH. They don't know they're dumb.

I should clarify. I don't have access to the vaccine at the moment, even if I wanted to get it. The earliest I will probably have access to it is the end of the summer.

That sucks. I hope she pulls through.  :(

Yes, indeed... prayers for your family.

Got it... hopefully your turn at the vaccine will come shortly. OR move to California, we have lots of open appointments here.

Get your shots. Don't take chances and play the waiting out game cuz you might not make it till next year. 

You think you'll catch it but live to recover?  Well I'll play the waiting game on your azz cuz it is a lingering disease meaning that you will have some sort of condition for long term and the medical community will be watching you for their own case studying so who's the guinea pigs now? 

Don't take chances with yours or other people's lives.  Trust the science and wait for the return of uncle trump in 2024  :2funny:

I've decided I don't wanna wait any longer so I made an appointment to take my first vaccine shot this Thursday.  :P ;D

Co worker got it.  His whole family got it.  Who will die n who will live I dunno.  The guy been walking around at work with his mask worn under his nose. 

Courageous or stupidity?

Guy got his first shot in too so he got about a 50% chance of being in the ICU.  Good thing he's still gonna get payed 80 hours covid supplement relief bill 2021 to help pay his bills.  Did you know that if someone has covid in your household n you stayed home to care for that person, you also gonna get payed up to 80 hours as well?  No need proof cuz medical records are protected documents.  I can surely use this for my vacation.   :2funny:

I would get vaccinated, because of loved ones who may be immunocompromi sed.  :-\  If it wasn’t for them, I would still get it but I’d wait a little longer before getting vaccinated.
