 Apologies. I removed my posts about those that didn't get a vaccine. Feel free to remove your reply so it doesn't confuse the thread.
 My blood pressure did rise slightly

+1.  Lost my Dad 10 yrs ago, lived a long life, some say it was the daily drink of red wine!
He bought my brother and my first mopeds and motorcycles...

Good news for those who have received a third dose: a new study in the journal Retrovirology has found that those with a third dose (and even those with two) are protected agains variants such as Omicron. It notes that although the vaccines are not a guarantee against infection, people who have received a booster "were highly protected from the more serious consequences of infection." Other recent studies have shown that after a receiving a third booster one's defenses are sufficiently bolstered that a fourth shot is unneccesary -- at least for some time. This is good news for those who were worried that they would need shots every 6 months or less.

My wife is going in for her booster today, another round of AstraZeneca.

Be nice if the CDC would get their act together with all the data to help boost confidence.    https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/20/health/covid-cdc-data.html

Ran into an old buddy on Sunday.  He is a micro-biologist at Pfizer.  Has been for 15 or 20 years.  I don't know his exact job title.  I know he is sent world wide to inspect research and production laboratories.  He had a few interesting things to say.  Has been working 14 hour days for the last 2 years from home.  Of course he has been vaccinated.  He got covid bad about a month ago.  He says he would be dead without vaccination.

  My kids and grandkids all got it and got over it. I went to my daughter's house last weekend and helped hang some kitchen cabinets. And caught a nasty cold. I just did a test, it's negative for covid but I'm miserable anyway.
  Just before symptoms I had been at a volleyball game, no one else in the gym had a mask so I took mine off too.

I have had three Pfizer shots since last year, Despite this I was able to catch the omicron variant on February 17th. Not sure where as I have continued using a KN95 mask and limited my interactions with most every one.

Something to keep in mind is I am on two immune suppression treatments to help with a pulmonary fibrosis diagnosis, we "hoped" I would be protected by the vaccine but I guess I am an example of how it keeps you out of the hospital.

Worst sore throat I can remember!, felt pretty bad till the antiviral drug I was prescribed kicked in about 24 hours after I started taking it.

All in I remain convinced that if it was not for modern medicine and the science that supports it, m wife would be selling my bikes.

Lucky we all are.

I've had my full allocation of 3 jabs so felt confident going on a coach trip to Scotland last weekend (50 old farts on a coach - what could possibly go right). Got back Monday and the Wife felt rough and tested +ve.  I felt like I had a bad cold Tuesday and tested +ve. My next door neighbour who we went with has it too.  2 days later I feel ok apart from a snotty nose.  Without the hard graft of the scientists etc, I know it could have been a different outcome altogether.  You only need to look at someone with Covid these days and you cop for it.  So grateful for the vax.

Yep, I flew to Hervey Bay in Queensland on Thursday and was kind of surprised that once I was out of the aircraft there wasn't a mask wearer in sight. The Resort Hotel I was staying at was fantastic, they had a great bistro where I had dinner, then I wandered into the gaming room and won 65 bucks on a poker machine before I called it a night. Over the next four days I rode 2180 Km (1362.5 miles) stopping in various cities and towns mixing with the general population, staying in hotels and eating in restaurants etc. Yesterday I had a bit of a runny nose when I arrived home, so as I had some leftover RAT kits I did a test, and I'm negative. Cool.

I had intended to ride down the coast, staying with my oldest son in Sydney on Saturday night, but due to the latest floods on the NSW coast, I changed my mind at the last minute, and went inland instead. My son rang yesterday to say that he's got Covid. He's OK, he's got the standard sore throat etc but he's fully vaxxed and is also very fit, so he's fine, but I dodged a bullet as my health isn't all that great, so I'm lucky that I chickened out and took an alternate route.

Yet again, posts not about side effects but instead anecdotes about the “haves and haves not”.

Thanks for helping out Cal.

Keep it clean boys.

Not much vaccinating going on lately. Looking like it will be time to shut this down soon so get all your topic responses in asap.

Had my second booster (Pfizer) today plus Fluvax.
No reaction to either - nothin' - maybe I'm dead?
Ready to fly, just need some wings.
