    I'll ignore your bullshit response and address the vaccine shopping nonsense directly.

    AstraZeneca vaccine elicits stronger T-cell response than Pfizer

    This is all very preliminary, but studies are showing that AZ is probably the better vaccine for the short term, meaning getting the pandemic under control.

    However, longer term it's looking like Pfizer and Moderna may be the winners, because the mRNA vaccines don't elicit the "vector immunity" response that the adenovirus vaccines do.

    Either way, I'm on board with whatever gets this fucking pandemic over.

    Just got my AstraZeneca vaccine a few hours ago!

    No adverse side effects yet, although I did grow a fairly large second penis. I'm considering that a bonus.

    Yeah but given the reference, that's not saying much.

    Any strokes yet?

    New cases in the United States on a definite downward trend again (7 day average shown below).

    Someone might want to check on India, though. They don't seem to be doing so well.

    Here is a good plan. Make an announcement that black people will be voting for and Obama Hillary ticket in someplace like Valdosta. When all the people show up to stop them that is when you let loose whatever mass kill device you have. After that the rest of GA will be so thankful they will gladly give you power having ridden them from the white evil infesting their state. You would probably take some other red state fungus with them.

    Maybe we do a bunch of these and call it operation chlorination of the white gene pool. Nothing of value would be lost.

    I am thinking COVID should have a T-shirt that says "I was a mighty pandemic and I only got Herman Cain." Maybe having a bunch of STDFs helps you fight off COVID? I am also pretty sure stupid helps too.

    I had first Astra Zeneca dose 5pm Thursday, was feeling fine until 2pm yesterday (Friday) then got headache, chills and it pretty much knocked me off my feet. It was worse than my actual Covid. Woke up fine again this morning, although have not grown a large penis yet.

    Got my 2nd Pfizer shot earlier this week. Hurt my arm quicker and more than the first time, but the pain went away quicker. I did however get weird, mild body aches the next day (no fever) that went away with Advil. I also got this weird rash that won't go away:

    It's dependent on how many anti-vaxxers lose theirs from contracting Covid.

    Hmm, I'm curious. Did Wakefield get his vaccine? :chris:

    I got my second shot yesterday, and because I had COVID, it really is doing me in. It's almost worse than when I had COVID.

    I have a rash like that too, but mine is on my left testicle. I can't believe the pharmacy tech didn't tell me this might happen - that's just nuts.
