G, if I find the article again I will post it.

Thanks George it’s the second article.

I've had two jabs of Pfizer and no side effects. Rob

SO didn’t have any side effects from the first Pfizer job except minor sore arm. Hopefully that will be the case when he gets the second one.

Where is the evidence for this? This was not done in clinical trials and it hasn't been given to the public long enough to have this kind of data.

Thanks Simone and Terry for bringing this idea out--did not realize the 91% effective 3 weeks after the first dose! That does seem to argue for everyone getting the first dose, doesn't it.

I agree! Of course I'm getting the second, but that 92% is so reassuring!!

My DIL felt safe enough to return to work 18 days after the first dose and no one was more paranoid than her and my son. Once they look further into the data one dose might be sufficient. It will be interesting to see if we need to do this yearly or not. 10% of our population is vaccinated and our positivity rate is 5.4%. I for one am happy to have my life back. I will wear my mask in public spaces but it’s nice to shop myself, eat out and visit friends in their homes. I was surprised how many on here are introverts so don’t really care about the things that I do. My best friend is a introvert but this was way to much for her also. Boom she retired and the pandemic hit.

Agreed I am one of those introverts who is enjoying the pandemic. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have socialization. Just yesterday I sat on the front stoop of my neighbor outside and we hashed business about the neighborhood on three different topics.

I have far too many zoom meetings. I have 11 meetings in 2.5 weeks. Each meeting results in work I have to do.

I’m watching my local iris society for signs of life. Here we are March and I’ve not heard one thing from our president or executive committee about anything. I just point I assume our big regional conference is canceled. I already told the group count me out I won’t be helping with any of it and we need to cancel.

I know that if I step up and open my mouth about it, it will be seen as a bid to take over leader ship which they would like me to do.


I ain’t doing it. I’m in the middle of rewriting the bylaws for that group and I am not stepping into that hornets nest of management until I have a clean set of bylaws I understand.

Wow is all I can say....

I don't think IL is enjoying the pandemic in a general sense. If she's like me, she's enjoying the pandemic's "side effect" of not having to be around people 24/7--having an excuse to lay low. Obviously no one enjoys a pandemic, but the comment was in response to TT's observation that there are a lot of people on this forum who, being introverted by nature, haven't suffered as much as others from the enforced isolation.
