My group was pushed back to early March. That said, I'm not particularly impressed with Moderna's vaccine so I may decline it if that is all that is available at that time.

She might have. There are other vaccines in the pipeline.

Both ironic and tone deaf to hear complaints of the strong immune reaction likely incurred because of your relative youth and the strength of your immune system.

And for all you would know, it could be bleach. I think I'll wait for my turn to come through the regular channels.

I sense it's time for a music video.

At least you know you got a legitimate, viable vaccine. LOL

Long story. I will write a post describing the How & Why, and recommendations how others might be able to Ethically Jump the Covid Vaccination Queue too.
Please do. Im in Michigan and 64.5 which means I'm the end of the line. And I'm sort ok with that on the one hand, after a bizzilion vaccinations in the military, including the 70s swine flu and antrax (which I'm convinced the 3rd one damaged me) I'm sort of unenthused re the vaccination thing. But, I'm AB+. BIL is A and still on oxygen 6 months later after covid. Small amount of data but seems to hit certain blood groups worse.

I guess you missed the part where I stated that I was posting from heavily populated South Florida. Almost seven million residents.

But thank goodness we have you to decide what is and what is not worthwhile.

And I was talking about how extensive testing arrived too late thruout the U.S. - the point was the lack of timeliness and late beginning of organizing testing........not the existence of testing after the delay....

if you go back, I wrote a paragraph about the DELAY in testing being organized and given in a timely matter in the beginning, not the existence of testing now or several months ago or six months ago.....

more testing at the very beginning of pandemic would have helped to stop the wide spread of Covid.....the administration downplayed the need for testing to be organized way back at the beginning.....
