Given the various health problems you and members of your family have experienced, it seems riskier to me to skip being vaccinated, but of course we all have choices to make in our lives....
Covid-19 vaccination - anyone scheduled yet?
- Thread starter Pa
- Start date
Congratulations on hitting 75. I reach that milestone (or millstone?) in July.
As many have thought, the Ceo of Pfizer just confirmed that a 3rd shot will probably be needed and then an annual shot thereafter.
Congrats on 75! and that hike and cake sounds good. My 75th is coming up this June, I'll probably go for a bike ride.
As I sit in a hospital waiting on a CT scan to figure out what is going on with my lungs, I thought I’d give a quick update. Based on lab work, I have no Covid antibodies from the vaccine, so I am one of the very rare few who’s immune system does not respond as intended. I am not sure what this means long term, and I will need to be tested in a few weeks to see if I create any antibodies from an actual covid infection. If I don’t create antibodies at all I will remain at risk of reinfection,
Keep up the good fight!
Hang in there, Aaron! This must be so frustrating for you, not to mention worrisome. Keep us posted!
I wish you good scan results and a strong recovery. As somebody who is immunocompromised and vaccinated with J&J, your story hits close to home. Focus on healing, but do keep us posted if you can.

Sorry to hear that. Take care and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hope they figure this out asap and get you well.
It's partly because of things like this that my wife and I will continue to mask up outside of our house for quite a while longer. Hang in there Aaron.
Well, things have escalated pretty quickly. No pneumonia and minimal collapsed lung, but was admitted to the covid wing because I need O2 to keep breathing under control and for cardiac monitoring. A high percentage of COVID infections result in heart damage even if asymptomatic, and with a family history of heart issues they want to stay on top of it. Labs do not point to serious cardiac issues, but I haven’t gotten the echocardiogram results yet...
Aaron, I hope this resolves quickly for you and you can get out of there soon. Take care!
simple, they haven't done enough testing on it to be sure that it's safe.
Connie I have a relative that works for OSHA. I ain't doin it. Not safe.
Scientists (CDC & FDA) apparently think otherwise. How much testing do you think is enough?
Second shot down. Left the facility at 620pm today.
I’ll let you know how I feel tomorrow.
I’ll let you know how I feel tomorrow.
Getting COVID ain't safe either...as evidenced by this thread and my personal experiences.
A close friend of ours (42 years old and in otherwise good health) died earlier this week of COVID. My aunt died of COVID earlier this month. A friend of mine got COVID in December and still isn't well--looks like he's a long hauler. Another close friend of mine (65 years old and in good health otherwise) spent 27 days at the Mayo Clinic and nearly died of COVID. My next door neighbor contracted COVID and spent 9 days in the hospital with clots in his lungs.
Speaking of OSHA, OSHA weighed in on vaccines not too long ago. OSHA "does encourage employers to make vaccines available at no cost to eligible employees or, at the very least, to provide information and training on the benefits and safety of vaccinations."
Fortunately, the vaccine has enabled a good number of people to resume a life with more normalcy.
