I just read that younger people experience more severe side effects because their immune systems have a much more robust response to the vaccine. Friend of mine got 2nd Pfizer shot the other day, near 60 y.o. He had 101 fever afterwards and the usual flu symptoms. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister got her 2nd dose and was in bed for about 2 days, she feels fine now. Mom just got her 2nd Moderna couple days ago...a little slow for a day, but nothing major. Dad just got first Pfizer...no issues other than sore arm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Another big jump down in hospitalizations, down to 48k 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinksnow18 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 43 minutes ago, BuffaloWeather said: Another big jump down in hospitalizations, down to 48k I’m really beginning to think that the combination of vaccinations, symptomatic and asymptotic ( I’m guessing there are millions who don’t know they were ever sick) and some naturally immune due to antibodies for the coronavirus the cold strain, as that one German publication researchers found, that were close to the 65% mark for herd immunity. If that’s the case then it’s no wonder as more people become vaccinated then this MIGHT be nearing an end in the next few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinksnow18 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I also want to make note of the info BW posted yesterday about Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson still having antibodies after 11months. Could there’s been permanent? If so would they need a vaccination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could there’s been permanent? If so would they need a vaccination? Their antibodies were not permanent, they lasted 11 months. However, the virus is no longer "novel" for their bodies. Their bodies know what to do the next time they get covid or a similar variant. They will likely still be able to get infected, but it won't be a severe illness, more likely a common cold. The vaccine is not permanent either, and will likely need booster shots in the future to keep the antibodies alive and well. It will likely be a yearly thing similar to the flu for the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure someone would whine about fat-shaming if people emphasized the dangers of being overweight, especially in these times.

I expect things to be completely normal by then. Things "should" be completely normal by June 1st if enough vaccines for everyone by then. My mom got scheduled for vaccine in Syracuse, my grandma in Buffalo. My wifes best friend in Rochester due to having a small scare with skin cancer at a young age. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
