POLL: What's Your Vaccination Status?

(1/18) > >>

JimH:
There's a lot of discussion going on about safety, etc.  How do you feel?

All votes are anonymous.  Replies aren't.

Thanks.

Wheaten:
Well, not sure if there is much freedom to choose, if you belong to a risk group.
Either take an educated guess with the vaccine on safety, or get infected and sleep 2 weeks on your belly at the IC, with a chance the stay is permanent.
So far Pfizer doesn't reveal much side effects.

Fingers crossed.

Should add a 2nd poll, which vaccine:

* Pfizer-BioNTech
* Moderna
* Johnson & Johnson’s
* Janssen
* Sputnik V
* Sinovac
* Astrazeneca
We're catching up:

You'll need to add a few more in that case:
Astrazeneca x 2
Astrazenca + mRNA
mRNA mix

Canadians have been advised to take the first available vaccination, whatever it might be. Then we stopped using Astrazeneca. My first shot was Pfizer, and I booked an appointment for a second shot of Pfizer, but when I showed up I was told it would be Moderna. The situation was exacerbated when already low levels of the Pfizer supply were reserved for those under 18 as it's the only one currently approved (in Canada) for that age group. In any event, I'm grateful that I have received two doses - and that the uptake in Ontario is very high (over 85% of adults have had at least one dose and over 65% of adults are fully vaccinated).

My wife is a healthcare professional and tested positive for Covid early on (as we expected would happen).  I didn't catch it. A family member suspected, because we never get the flu, that I may have immunity.  So, I went and had the antibody test which showed I had T-cell immunity.  I have 6 brothers who found when they took the test, have the same, as do my three sons.  All but one brother took the test.

There is zero reason for me to get the vaccine.  I have natural immunity.  I am not alone in the world, there are many others.  That's why the percentage of who has received the vaccine is a false statistic. 

I believe the first thing one should do is take the antibody test and then proceed from there on what they consider the best route for them; rather they vax or not.  This isn't a one size fits all and the world will be cured, as the narrative goes  So, saying that, I really don't fall under your poll choices.

JimH:
The AMA apparently can't agree with "natural immunity" yet.

Note what was said about the type of test needed.  (titer)

The likelihood of an entire family having such immunity seems improbable to me.  Interesting story though.
