The vaccine won't harm you but the last fatal case of covid-19 was in the last week of April, 2020. So it has come and gone and the only winners in all of this is the medical facilities that have harvested over $35 Billion by falsely reporting covid-19 deaths. There is a genetic defect in some people that makes their immune system attack the cells with covid-19 in them rather than the virus itself. This is rarely so serious to be fatal but it is the source of people (like the supermarket clerk I talked to the other day) saying "It was worse than childbirth". Somehow she didn't seem to get the fact that she is still alive. She was worrying about when she could get her vaccination. You couldn't point out to her that now she is immune. I sort of feel sorry for the people that have been so propagandized that reality is not even on the table.

Nope. Since you've already decided that whatever I explain will be

After that, you can tell us everything you know about investing,

I was hoping that you knew more about 401(k) plans and could therefore
expound on how they work, but I guess not. However, I did find a

I got my first shot 4 weeks ago. Second shot half of May, appointment already made. Can’t wait. No side effect whatsoever.

Lou, the first shot gives you most of the immunity so you usually react to the second shot. No worries though. There is a tiny number of fatal reactions to it but they are using that tiny number to claim that there is something wrong with the vaccination. There isn't any vaccination that doesn't have fatal reactions. You get a flu shot normally every year and don't worry about it. This is nothing more than another flu shot.

" last fatal case of covid-19 was in the last week of April, 2020"?
Strange isn't it that the CDC reported that there were 788 "new
deaths" as of this morning.

But of course the CDC is a bunch of old ladies and probably got it
wrong while our boy Tommy (the guy without a high school education)
knows all the facts.

My wife had no problems with either shot. I was fine with the first, but
from about eight hours to 36 hours after the second, I was really
fatigued, as if I hadn't slept for a day or two.

(However, I summoned the energy to drive about ten miles to see the only
Gyrfalcon I'm ever likely to see in my life. It was about 2000 miles out
of its range. It caused quite a stir among local birders.)

No side effect for me for the first Pfizer dose. Though the people I
know that got Moderna had some side effects.

Of course when they told me that I could experience tiredness and body
aches I asked them how I would even know that considering normal
tiredness and body aches from being over 65.

I get the second dose next week. The second dose is where more people
have side effects.

I asked the person administering the shot at CVS whether or not I'd be
able to play the piano after the receiving the vaccination. She said
that after the second dose I'd be able to play. That's great news since
I've always wanted to play the piano.

In the U.S. they've found that the vials actually have enough for a
couple of more shots per vial, but they aren't reducing the amount per dose.
