No actually it does discriminate. It attacks the elderly, unhealthy and obese. Have you ever actually looked at the statistics by age? I’m more likely to die in a car accident on my way to get the booster shot then from covid.

Do you drive really badly or live hundreds of miles from anywhere with the vaccine?

For me (not anyone else), having an issue sleeping would mean, I couldn't sleep at all and get my normal 8-9 hours of slept, in this specific example that was not the case, therefore I never have had an issue being able to sleep all night, even when my one upper arm was sore, and I couldn't lay on it.

I had an issue with my upper left arm, NOT an issue with sleeping.

Life is all about being able to adjust, some people can do, while others can not!

God, I love these petty, pointless debates over semantics.



If you don't want people to think you had sleep issues after getting vaxxed, don't tell people you had sleep issues after getting vaxxed. The end.

Thanks Buddy, I love you too!

I was able to sleep a full 8-9 hours after my 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Pfizer shots, but boy, my upper left arm was quite sore after the 1st and 2nd shots...............better.

On a side note - I have friends that are double vaxed, double boosted, and each one became very ill. I will use every tool available to me to keep this virus away. That includes masking in public and avoiding crowds. Next weekend there's a craft festival, I will go, but be one of the first to enter and exit.
I'm with you--every tool available. Only one in the store today wearing a mask. Oh well. I'd read the same about the crossover. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a Moderna booster in my area.

I had the latest Pfizer booster and a flu shot on Friday. As with each of my shots, I took a Tylenol immediately after. My covid arm was sore and still is a bit. It wasn't nearly as sore as it was after the first booster for me. I couldn't sleep on that are for a few days. The flu shot was more painful to receive, but there was no soreness.

I have, and will, continue masking up when out in stores. Fortunately, not the only one.

No, I just have a brain that hasn't been washed by the liberal media and understand how statistics work. For the age group of 30-39 there have been 18,000 deaths total since the start of the pandemic. With the vast majority being morbidly obese or having other major underlying health conditions. So if you remove 90% of those people you're left with just 1,800 deaths over the past 2+ years for people in their 30s and healthy.

So I say again, statistically I am in WAAAAAY greater danger just driving in my car, but people like you don't worry about that. Why? Because the government and the media hasn't scared you out of driving.

If the media/government treated car crashes the same way they treated covid half of the population would never drive again.

Biden just said the pandemic is over.. so are you still "trusting the science"? Cause this feels more like a tinfoil hat at this point.

Ooooh, I love this clear-headed, totally apolitical logical stuff from people who haven't been brain-washed.

Assuming you only have to drive a mile to get vaccinated (it wouldn't change the outcome if it was 500 miles), your chances of dying are roughly 1 in 74,626,866, or 0.000000013.

Using your numbers for covid deaths in the 30-39 age bracket, 1800/ 45.4 million (apx number in that bracket in the US), your chance of dying from covid if you are in that age bracket and not morbidly obese or with other underlying health conditions is .000039

Which number is larger?

I am off Sunday, Monday and Wednesday from work but also took Tuesday off just in case I need to rest.
I'm still trying to decide whether the CDC (Center for Disease Control) people are totally incompetent or just in this for as much money as they can possibly make. What if ten years from now a new group of "experts" take over and say oops sorry, now you can't have children. Also, if this disease is so terribly deadly, why do we have open borders with thousands upon thousands of unidentified people coming in and being shipped all over the United States. It's a real thing and mainstream news doesn't talk much about it. I wonder why $$$$$$$.
