@Keith_Zissou I guess I had a similar reaction. The arm was sore for a couple days and I was basically feeling like I hadn't got enough sleep the next day (it was bad enough that I just went to sleep at like 2 p.m.) and that was it.
We're up to 3 separate exposures at my daughter's school now. Lol. It's only been two full weeks of school.
Stocked up on ivermectin though, cause god only knows what's in that vaccine, so not too worried personally.

@nessisonett yes. Mr. "If you're young and healthy you don't need the vaccine" feels he needs a livestock dewormer. The jokes continue to write themselves.

It boggles the brain that people refuse to have the vaccine because they don't trust science or modern medicine, but will happily take worming treatment meant for horses and cows because Fox News says so. 🤦♂️
@mookysam@nessisonett@zupertramp Well, my aunt Millie got COVID and ate sardines dipped in buttermilk for 10 days and she survived so it’s proof it works.
But I’m going with the notion that amongst all my friends who play video games for at least 20 hours per week, none have died from COVID, so clearly playing video games is protective. I’m trying to increase my game time to get extra protection. I mean, there’s proof right there!
@mookysam I can't get my head round it either, literal evidence that a subset of people can't escape out an echo chamber or critically evaluate what's on their social media feed. I'm surprised American private healthcare will fund covid treatment for unvaccinated adults. Seems an obvious way to save a buck or two given they can barely provide type 1 diabetics with insulin.
@Th3solution Turns out being cooped up indoors playing games and shunning society is actually beneficial!
@JechtUltima I'm sure the next wondercure will be something like possum piss. Cue an upsurge in angry possum-related injuries. I once googled angry possum and was quite scared at what I saw!
@R1spam I guess some people just want their own narrow views confirmed, so they will never change their perspective, despite all the evidence to the contrary. Anti-vaxxers are one thing, but there are still people denying that Covid is even real. The American healthcare system is baffling all round and by the looks of it there's something quite wrong with the education system too.
First few days back in the office this week. All feels a bit odd. Monday I was the one person in from the department. Yesterday there were two people and today three. Next week a couple of people from my team are in full time also and people will start popping up as part of the hybrid working scheme. Man, it is so good to have face to fave conversations.
I don't feel too bad either, a bit more tired but that is to be expected with getting up earlier to travel. Didn't help that on the weekend one of the flats in the buildings where I live decided it was a good idea to pump out loud music from 4 in the morning.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Presumably, if enough patriots drink bleach, eat horse deworming paste, and pop anti-maleria tablets to treat their covid symptoms, the anti-vax movement will... take care of itself in due time.
