The first polio shots hurt, as I recollect.  The sugar cube came later.

My Dad was telling my kids all about this a couple months ago along with stories of the Iron lung..  I had to remind the kids they've had about 18 shots already.

Yeah, I had several shots.  I was young, I might be confusing them with other vaccinations.  

To my surprise, my doc wanted me to get booster a few years back for polio and I did.  It didn't hurt.  He said they were not good for life.

I told the wife there was some chance we'd get a COVID vaccine by end of Jan.  Probably not odds on bet though.

My wife and some of her partners don't seem to be in a hurry to get a vaccine.   A couple of them would rather wait some period of time.  They seem interested in learning of side effects,  etc.  Couple this with the fact that many of them feel they've already been exposed and have likely already had CV.  Its an interesting perspective.

if I had any reason to think I'd had COVID, I'd give blood to find out before taking the vaccine.

Not because I'm afraid of the vaccine, but it could go to someone else.

Any major side effects would not show up for years.  And this is basically RNA they are using, it's very unlikely to produce some long term side effect, in my view.

I'll be first in line when they let me.

I know I might be a bit down for a day or so.  I hope it's better than the Shingrix thing.  That was not so fun.

the articles Ive read say the adverse reactions to the vaccines only happen to 3% to 10% of those taking it

https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/11/26/939365087/government-model-suggests-u-s-covid-19-cases-could-be-approaching-100-million

"We" have tried to guess how many have been infected around here with a view to estimating where we are with "herd immunity".  The above estimate is on the high side, but still in range of possibility, basically one person in three in the US.

That starts to reduce R naught IFF infection confers resistance.  The population is not AS vulnerable to contact with COVID infectees.  A vaccine MIGHT be approved by Dec. 10, and MIGHT vaccinate as many as 20 million by year's end (a third of whom MIGHT already have had it).

I think this is what the stock market has been figuring.  There is some chance old people like me might be the vaccine by Jan 30 or so.
Howdy.
