Received my second dose of vaccine 2 days ago. Felt a little more sore than after the first dose and also more fatigue. Slept a lot yesterday. Feeling much better today so if no further side effects, then this has not been a bad experience. The place where I got my shots have been even more efficient the second time. I understand that we are getting near 3 million shots done a day in the U.S. and increasing. So things are looking up.
But I still don't think we are out of the woods. In a related story to the Asian discrimination situation, someone on our "neighborhood watch" site wrote that he/she did not trust that the vaccine will take care of this CCP man made virus! At least one person responded by saying "CCP? Crazy California People?" There are over 10 states with increasing cases, many of which are new variants. Then there is the scene in Miami Beach where the police fired pepper spray to disperse maskless people breaking the curfew. Florida cases are going up already but the numbers in Florida won't tell the whole story as the spring break people will increase the cases in their home states when they leave Florida.
Astra-Zeneca vaccine has been suspended in some countries in Europe due to scare about blood clots. Scientists don't believe the rate of cases among those vaccinated are more than those not vaccinated. Without knowing all the numbers, I believe the scientists are probably right and that the vaccine is still safe. But while the vaccine originally was approved for emergency use in Europe, I wonder why it has not ask for emergency use in the U.S. And if it has not been approved in the U.S., why is it being sent to Canada and Mexico?
