Medical Discussion of Coronavirus

Vehemently disagree. Income taxes are at relatively low rates since 1913. They certainly aren’t at the lowest rates for first 137 years of the American republic.

Yeah tariffs on fur pelts and salt probably harder times then

If you had Johnson and Johnson vaccine (single shot one dose adenovirus DNA vaccine) would you get a booster with moderna?
Thoughts?
Thanks.

Great another meaningful tax discussion. Can we please get back to the virus. Boosters?
Will you get one?
Is it safe to mix and match?
Moderna after J &J?

My thought is Moderna after Pfizer. Hasn’t Moderna shown to be slightly more effective against Delta than Pfizer?

Lol -- this IS a financial forum after all so a side tangent in that direction can be allowable at times

Post Janssen vaccine - unknown - No guidance. Been seeing folk rec either mRNA -- but no real significant evidence to support this action.
Moderna has been outperforming Pfizer lately in the breakthroughsand thought more because of the higher dosing regimen that Moderna schedule had than Pfizer. (remember the SE profile on Pfizer was better than Moderna -- makes sense).

The thought differences between Moderna/Pfizer for the third shot comes down to this -- is this is completion of a series to intend a complete vaccination vs a booster of a waning titer? If the former, one may want to consider Moderna. If the latter, Pfizer would be logical to leverage. How would we know which to choose? Who knows.

My going forward rec would be:
If you had two shots and absolutely no symptoms - probably wise to choose Moderna
If you had a decent amount of typical anticipated symptoms - would be comfortable with Pfizer 'booster'.

My thoughts exactly. Had two Pfizers, minimal symptoms, although some. Drove across state lines where I had the choice of all three, chose Moderna. Still fairly minimal symptoms.

I dislike having two CDC cards, and I feel guilty not going back for my second Moderna.

Godspeed for the elderly.

My father (89) took his Pfizer #3 today. I plan on taking #3 (Pfizer or Moderna) in the coming weeks, after Moderna x 2. There is a crazy thread on Twitter about a guy who has numerous shots. He was recently in the ER for a non-Covid problem, and the doc asked him if he had been vaccinated. He counted off 20 times. He kept taking shots for gift cards, raffles, etc. Other people responded in the thread with personal or patient experience with 3 or mote shots.

I got #3 moderna after 2 Pfizers. It kicked my butt last night. Rigors, nausea, dizziness, muscle pains. About 3 PM the symptoms resolved. I got nauseated with Pfizer but never had a fever or rigors. I will have to tell Pfizer about it this week.

wow, that seems insane. 20? yikes!

I am worried about a 2nd shot after getting the J & J but think it is probably worth it.

Seems like an unknown and a potential risk, but possibly worth it.

Hard to know?

Hindsight will show it to be smart or foolish and it will seem obvious.

Slept for 24 hrs + after moderna # 2. Missed out on Cajun take out for it. I won't get a third.

Rather interesting. Rather small test, but this seems to be designed to “test the safety” of switching vaccines for “boosters”.
It would be nice if they actually had determined how to test and determine IF and when a booster was needed and then determine which of the possibilities was best.
Yes, we have the momentum moving towards boosters. It would be nice if we had a way to be checked and then make informed choices or recommendations. Fauci seems to favor mass boosters, just in case.

Hatton went “I got #3 moderna after 2 Pfizers.”
Wife and I had 2 Moderna’s. I’ll consider the #3 Pfizer. Maybe I’ll call Baylor or just use Kroger’s. The same guy that was prohibited by CDC guidelines even though he and I knew I was eligible.
We seem to take the most difficult and indirect path. Government is frustrating.

Dentist appointment coming up.

Have people been asking vaccine status of the staff in these situations? Asking for only vaccinated hygienist?

I would think a hygienist who is not vaccinated would be seriously at risk. I mean, I guess everyone is at risk, but a hygienist? seems worse than just about any job I can think of.

Resp therapist seems bad too but hygienist has a lot of exposure and it is all day long.

Anesthesia is not exactly low risk but hygienist is spit city.

I guess you can always ask, but I would be surprised if they did not get vaccinated.

By now I would guess they would have either been vaccinated or have had it.

Pity the hygienist that can’t get vaccinated. It’s tough to run a business making accommodations. Customers, coworkers, twice a week testing are just a few. Separate coffee pot and table in the coffee lounge?
Everyone else wants everyone vaccinated. The seed has been planted. If one is unvaccinated, they are a problem.

What I want to know is what kind of Cajun take out fits in your diet.

Not even a variant-specific booster?
