bumping this.
Has anyone gotten their 2nd shot yet?
If so, did you have any side effects or were you ok.
I'm not due til July for my 2nd shot. Though I did get an email saying I can book sooner if I want.

I was fatigued and had a low-grade fever for about 24 hours after the second dose. Apparently, more notable side effects are common with the second dose: https://www.healthline.com/health-n...accine-will-likely-have-stronger-side-effects
Good luck.
Zero side effects. Went to work right after my second shot and worked all day.
They could never make a 5G chip small enough to actually be effective AND be small enough to fit through a vaccination needle. lol. But some people (not saying you) would still worry.Wouldn’t it be great if they had inserted a 5G microchip with a Darwin Award into the virus?
Oh well, I’ll take my chances with the vaccine/microchip. At least I’ll get better cell reception when Doug Ford cuts off Rogers again to keep us at home on the wifi.
I got bumped up a month for my second dose
First and OG second dose were about 4 km away at a downtown mall.
This time my only two options are both an hour away in a different health unit area.
Still doing it but fuck man really.

everyone just get your shot - a possible sore arm and slight chance of a fever is a small price to pay to be protected. To the idiot that wanted to goggle Pfizer - Christ you are an idiot
I can't wait to head into another year and still read about covid, vaccines, personal medical files and social media pics. No need to worry about anything else. Just concentrate on this and your lives will be controlled to a decimal errr um your lives will be nice.
How about people will make whatever decision they choose to make and they will deal with the consequences? If you're vaccinated, why do you care about what others are doing?
Is this really the first time you have read the covid section or any thread of vaccines in general. It's been explained to death.
88% to 95% =/=100%
Not everyone can get the vaccine [I know one]
Also not getting vaccinated is a form of social parasitism. You gain the positive externalities without doing your bit.
Is the concept of personal responsibility completely lost on people nowadays? Some people choose to smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day when we all know the risks associated with smoking. It's their choice, they will deal with the consequences. Same with the vaccine. Your vaccine will protect you from 88% to 95% whether the lady sitting at the booth behind you at McDonald's is vaccinated or not.
We don't allow people to smoke in public places anymore and on occasion I even see people sitting on their porch smoking I would hope because they don't want to expose their families to second hand smoke [I hope but probably forced out]
If the lady at the booth have covid and is more likely to if she is not vaccinated then I still have a chance of picking it up from her.
Your statements don't actually make sense.
And why not get the bloody vaccine. All you got for not taking the vaccine is either complete bullshit or an inability to understand math, statistics and risk. Unless you are medically unfit for the vaccine there is absolutely no reason not to get it. Anyone who leaves their house, takes other medications and just lives life takes bigger risks.
Actually smoking is probably a net positive.
1: Taxed heavily assuming they are legal.
2: Smokers don't collect pensions for as long as non smokers.
3: Generally everyone goes downhill via ageing and dies often in very expensive ways. I'd hazard a guess that a smoker who dies of lung cancer at 60ish [like my mother] ends up having a less expensive death than my father who doesn't smoke and is pushing 88. Granted he is doing OK now but that's decades of minor problems plus the probably huge expense waiting at the end.
4: Smokers don't live as long so not so much in the old age homes [expensive] and probably don't have to deal with senility [more expensive]
If +80% of the population is vaccinated then the virus will die out.
If the ones that cannot get the vaccine practice THEIR safety measures they will be fine.
Sure if you care about people living to a ripe old age.
However I was just responding to this
"Smoking has a financial impact on society in terms of higher insurance premiums, public health care costs etc"
Also we were discussing things in the context of vaccinations and effects on other people.
Someone wrecking their health and dying early via smoking doesn't impact on anyone elses health etc.
As for the 1 Trillion. How much would it cost the health system if they lived longer and died of cancer, heart disease or dementia in their 80s vs 60's. People who don't smoke will all die and that will have costs also. Unless that 1 trillion accounted for the difference in cost of someone dying of smoking at 70 or 75 vs a non smoker dying at 85 it is not a relevant stat.
I did not say one thing that would be contradicted by the WHO, National Health orgs, academics et al
People die, generally via expensive means. Fact
Dead people don't collect pensions. Fact
Dead people don't linger in old age homes. Fact.
Find me a WHO study that says otherwise.
Assuming smokers keep their second hand shit to themselves than the costs of smoking to other people is actually a net gain.
With the delta variant I'd suspect it would be higher.
That doesn't address the feeloading of those who don't take the vaccine counting on most people doing the right thing.
The argument of you are vaccinated so you don't have to care does ignore those who can't while the virus is live. But again why get vaccinated when you can count on other people do... unless everyone also takes your position. [hypothetically]
