Those getting vaccinated, which version are you getting and why?

For those that are getting the vaccine, which version are you getting and why? Is there a reason you are picking one company over another? 

 

Got Moderna because that was the only option offered.

 

If I am forced to get vaccinated, I will travel to Mexico to get the Russian one.

At the moment you take what you're given. As far as I'm aware, the only way to increase your odds of getting the Pfizer Vaccine vs the Moderna and J&J Ones are to go to a testing site that recommended for people over the age of 16, but you need to check what the deal is in your specific state. The reason I mention this is because the EUA for the Pfizer Vaccination covers anyone 16 and Older while the Moderna and J&J ones are only authorized for 18 and Older. 

Personally, needles don't bother me, so I don't care whether I get one dose vs 2 doses. And, let's be honest here... if you read the actual packet instructions you're getting a 0.3ml dose from a 1ml Syringe injected into your upper arm. The smallest needle they are going to use is a 25 Gauge since you can bulk buy a 1ml syringe with a Luer Lock attached 25g needle. That's the equivalent of a pin prick. 

 

I would prefer the J&J vaccine, but I will be getting Pfizer since that's what's at CVS in my area

I’m a fun guy. Obviously I love the game of basketball. I mean there’s more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself. I'm not just gonna give you a whole spill... I mean, I don't even know where you're sitting at
 

Am I the only kook who has concerns about this vaccine?  Furthermore, I had the virus and, shockingly, lived.  Aside from a day of lost work and a 2 week quarantine, it wasn't so bad.  

I also am not a fan of this Excelsior Pass that is being rolled out.  Haven't read into it a whole lot.  What is the tl;dr?

It will not be. They (US Gov) don't mandate the flu vaccine be taken annually.

They can't.  But I have a suspicion that corporate America will do it for them.  

Want to step into a Walmart/target/grocery store, need to be vaccinated.  Want a Big Mac or Whopper, need to be vaccinated.  Want to fly/ride the subway/bus, need to be vaccinated.  Want to go to a sports game/movie/play, need to be vaccinated.  Want to post on Twitter, need to be vaccinated.

Don't like it, go to one of our competitors.  Problem is, many small business competitors closed during the various shutdowns in 2020.  

The mosaic isn't looking too good as it's coming together. 

 

Got J&J. Had really bad side effects for 24 hours and then I was fine.

I didn't feel anything from the Moderna 1st shot, but the 2nd shot gave me some side effects. I was on my bike indoor cycling yesterday and all of a sudden I felt like ass and super fatigued to the point where I had to slow down a lot and stop. Then I got super cold and had to crank up the heat real hot inside. I felt so fatigued and it was like 7:30pm and I had to go lay down. I couldn't sleep, just felt very fatigued. Then I googled the symptoms and seemed to be getting the normal side effects. Then all of a sudden I got super hot and had to put the A/C on full blast and it was icy inside. I finally went to sleep then woke up and felt fine, had my temperature taken and was normal today.

I guess it all means my body encountered and defeated the virus, which is what is supposed to happen.

Somebody in my family almost died from side effects from the second dose of Moderna (EMS had to be called). My primary doctor says he can’t formally recommend me to take the vaccine due to the complications and even deaths that have been occurring from the vaccines. Big Tech, MSM, Big Pharma all say that the vaccines are “safe” and sweep these issues under the rug.

But to answer OPs question I wait for J&J as being the one shot it is the mildest of the 3 and thus has the least side effects (but it also is slightly less effective).

To anyone else getting the vaccine I HIGHLY encourage you to stay with family or have a friend stay over for a day or two after getting the shot and repeatedly check on you. The family member I mentioned above would have been dead had not someone else been there.

Getting my first Pfizer shot today because that is what CVS is offering. Probably would have picked that if I had the choice but wouldn't of really cared.

Pfizer, because it was the shot most easily available. No side effects for the first shot, but I also had covid so I'm not sure if that makes it more or less likely you'll have side effects. Arm hurt for a couple of days.
