I don't believe any of the figures. Dr House said it best..,
Unlike religion and politics, what is touted in the scientific/medical realm can and does change. This is actually part of the self-correcting aspect of applying the scientific method. All conclusions are conditional, and open to change if/when better evidence and/or analysis of the data comes along. Unfortunately, folks who don't understand how science works see it as "lies." It most assuredly is not.

Oh, my! I wonder which vaccine Joe, Kamala, Nancy, and Chuck received?

And NY's own Andy too, of course.

None, I suppose. Even when Kamala does succeed Joe, the Party will still be calling the shots.

Well, I had the 2nd Pfizer shot last Saturday [o4/24] and except for the same slight headache/eyestrain I had driving back home from the first shot, I haven't noticed any side effects. That's good, of course, but I can't help but wonder if this is because I had the virus before either of the shots and have 'acquired resistance'.

I have been sicker than a dog four times since Dec '19, the first time the worst, lasting ~8 days, with diminishing symptoms. The other three were not as bad and only lasted 2-3 days. None of the symptoms matched what CDC initially posted; now with the expanded symptom list, they all match.

I'm interested in getting the antibody blood test to see if I have actually already had exposure and gotten over it, but there doesn't seem to be any sign-up list for that.

Edit: Several labs will test me, from $69 [Quest] to $149...
