Right about now I'm wishing I'd had ignored @OrangeAfroMan and made his game electronic...

We could all assume a year and team, and have at "the greatest team ever" in style.

Good idea.

I've been through the first 200.

I can't schedule a booster anywhere within 25 miles of my house, any time within the next 3 weeks.  Some of it is supply, some of it is staffing, but the bottom line is that it's neither simple nor convenient, which are the two primary criteria to make an ongoing vaccine program effective.

I'm not sweating it, I waited a while to get the first two and I'm fine with waiting a while to get the third.  But Travis County-- the county in which Austin and most of the metro area reside-- has gone back to "Stage 5" and has already redefined "fully vaccinated" as being THREE shots.  So I am no longer considered fully vaccinated.  It doesn't really make any difference from an enforcement perspective, but it's an example that we're about to start descending back into the madness.

serious question here...how many boosters are you going to wind up having to get? 

I listened to one of the inventors of the mRNA vaccine technology talk about the boosters. He basically said you can't just keep taking boosters in perpetuity. That's not how vaccination or immunization works- and you can run serious risk of absolutely frying/destroying your immune system- which is a very delicate thing that we don't even understand fully.

Sounds interesting. Would love to listen to that. 

I’m flummoxed why I am in a place where it’s so easy, but you’re not? I just pulled up the CVS website, clicked on an appointment time, and went. Just very confused

Same, I walked into my East Athens Publix without an appointment and never even had to wait for any of the 3 shots.

Dunno how many. If you have links to the scientific treatises on how it can "fry" your immune system I'd be interested in reviewing them.

Couldn't tell you.  I speculated earlier that it's a combination of supply, and staffing.  It would have been easy a few months ago, I have several friends who went and did it back in early November with no waits. I hadn't yet hit 6 months and wasn't in any hurry, anyway.

But now, in my region, I guess demand is high because a lot of adults are coming due, and children age 12 and up are also recently approved for boosters.

It was exactly like this when vaccines first rolled out to the under50 population back in April.  I had to wait at least a month before I could get an appointment that was nearby and at a reasonable time.

Diabolical!

Hospitalizations in OC now higher than during the Delta wave and higher than summer 2020, still below the early 2021 post-holiday surge.
