    Today is July 20, 2021. There are hundreds of COVID-19 'variants' roaming around, and the most contagious, highly-publicized one in the United States is the dreaded "Delta".

    Question: knowing what you know TODAY, would you choose to be vaccinated against COVID at all? With which vaccine, or, with which type of vaccine? Just curious....

    You may vote for ONE choice, and, once made, you may not change that choice. Votes are visible publicly, and you must vote to see the results.

    As always you are welcome to comment about the topic in a subsequent post.

    My wife and I had the two-shot Pfizer mRNA vaccination and have been fully-protected for a couple of months now.

    No regrets, no 'second-thoughts', no after-effects on our part.

    It is interesting to note that nowhere at all in the State of Colorado have we been asked by anyone in any private or government office or entity to show our 'vaccination card' which documents the dates and types of our vaccination.

    The big concern now, for ALL of us, vaccinated or not, is -- what's next?!

    The day my wife and I got our second Moderna we felt a great sigh of relief we still enjoy to this day. Anyone refusing to take their shots is making a contribution to the COVID death count.

    Got my Pfizer doses in the spring and have no regrets. Also had no side effects other than slight soreness at injection site, which oddly was worse(but still slight) after 1st shot instead of 2nd.

    Upon seeing the news that Pfizer vaccine might not offer the greatest protection against Delta, I've been wondering how Moderna fairs against it. Not sure if Moderna was available in my area or not though.

    My understanding is that here in the United States, all three vaccines -- Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson -- should be in abundant supply and immediately available, often even on a 'walk-in' basis.

    Best advice, call your own personal doctor's office. They won't be able to give you the vaccination for COVID-19, but they certainly should know exactly where you can get vaccinated as soon as possible. All the best!

    You and I are in the same boat, for better or worse. I feel confident that the mRNA vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, are the best protection we have available today. Of course, that could change tomorrow....

    No the vaccine's are experimental and there are drugs that can fight covid 19 including their variants

    Darapladib, Flumatinib & an HIV drug

    We were encouraging people to take a photo of thier vaccination cards on the basis that they would lose it biput also so they had an easy access record

    And you know this how?
    Come on please please please prove this to me scientifically by posting links not to some you tube anyone could put together but to validated peer reviewed science showing in vivo effects versus in vitro effects

    You dismiss anything that does not fit your narrative, why not take the vaccine and leave other people alone to use drugs that work on ALL Variants of Covid 19

    You can. Pfizer is suggesting you will need it once a year or more often. The vaccines do not spur immunity with memory.

    Moderna Spurs the cells to produce the same spike protein so not sure it would be any more effective. The variants only change RNA so far and not the protein structure so vaccines should still work.

    Excellent idea! I took snaps of mine with my phone, and I also made copies of my original COVID shot record which I keep safely filed.

    What I found was that by using a copy 'reduction-factor' on my HP printer/copier to exactly 78%, you can make copies that fit perfectly in a man's wallet, and, presumably, in a woman's purse. This is useful because the original shot record, and copies at made at 100% are too big to fit into normal wallets, and the folks with FEMA and the U. S. Army who administered our vaccines advised me against laminating them after the two-shot Pfizer vaccine, because there could be subsequent shots we will all need to take.

    Basically although the MRNA vaccines seem to be outstandingly effective others such as Astra Zeneca also appear to work well. Although AZ has shown up the clotting issue (ultra rare side effect that we are still chasing down) it is KNOWN technology which has been used before it is still risk/beret and since the AZ vaccine was one of those which can be produced in third world countries was being looked at to be rolled out across the world

    Our could fit into a wallet but I know people and figure that at least 50% would go through the wash :p

    I am not dismissing it in fact I am asking you to provide solid scientific evidence of validated in vivo effects

    I got Modena. Two shots. The first time was a lady pharmacist and we talked about the rain we were having. The second shot was by a male pharmacist. He told me about the vaccine but I really didn't listen very well. I figured I did my bit. But now I see why they make school shots LAW.

    In spite of getting knocked out for 72 hours, I don't regret getting my Moderna. I did feel the side effects, very much like coming down with a flu, slept it off for 72 hours, and then poof, back to normal.

    You are dismissing it....you are saying there are no drugs identified that potentially can treat covid 19, therefore news report is a lie...the Israeli scientists in the report are lying, the news reporter are lying and I am lying by posting the news report.
    If you need more info go find it yourself. I have the name of the drugs and I am following up and keeping this information in case I get sick from covid.

    If you so desperately want to stick vaccine needles in you by all means go ahead, stick them in both butt cheeks, in fact keep going until you resemble the spikes on the virus
