We're All Going to Die

I've been pro-mask this whole time, but I also plan to go mostly mask-less after the two weeks. I did my part. If a place is super crowded I might still wear one.

The shot is available to everyone for free and nearly 100% effective. By now everyone who wants it has had the ability to get it. If people decided they don't want it that's fine, but it should not be my concern if they get the virus. If you don't want the shot and wind up getting corona then that's on you. I shouldn't have to keep altering my life to protect others who have decided they don't care. A week after my second shot I don't plan on wearing a mask anywhere it's not legally required (which is everywhere in FL) or required by company policy.

Also Rogan said that young, healthy people shouldn't worry about getting the shot. That's kinda true. Very few young Americans (15-24 years old) died of corona last year. 587 to be exact. Way more in that age group died of suicide. And that stat doesn't take into consideration how many of those young people had preexisting conditions or were in bad physical shape. So yea, people say the young and healthy should get the shot to prevent the spread to others but that goes back to the point I made in my first paragraph. It shouldn't be on others to protect the part of the population who willfully avoided getting the vaccine.

It's not just about you getting it, it's about everyone around you.
It's about the variants taking hold and getting more people sick.
It's about how much longer this drags out.
It's about how much faster we can really get back to normal.
You should be concerned about others getting it, not wearing masks, and not getting vaccinated, because the more of them that get sick, the less things return to normal for you.
Everyone needs to suck it up for a few more months, be responsible, get their shots, and do the right thing to take care of our communities.

As far as I'm concerned, if stupid people are willing to let themselves die because they are pouting and refuse to listen to the medical experts, I'd be fine with letting them takes themselves out of the gene pool. Unfortunately, the misguided decisions of these morons are risking the health of innocent people, and that effects me. I'm selfish. I don't want to have to deal with this any longer than I have to either, but it's not going away quickly if people can only think of themselves.

Covid-19 vaccine myths: These reasons for not getting a shot don't hold up. In fact, they'll set the US back
 
Had my second shot this morning!

So far there are pretty much no side effects. I have very minor soreness at the injection site but I don't think I'd even count that. It's only been 7 hours since I got it though so we'll see what happens.

Well I didn't completely avoid side effects. I woke up at least twice with a cold sweat last night. I was able to fall back asleep within 10 or 15 mins though. Hopefully that's it as far as side effects go because as of waking up this morning everything's good.
 
That was kinda the worst of it for me. The next day, I felt a little like I had a hangover without the headache or nausea.
All in all, it was worth it.

I sorta went to my first band practice in over a year. Sorta.
It was just me and the bass player (my best friend since about 1975) since he’s the only other one that’s vaccinated.
I took my laptop and used it to play the drummer and singers parts. It was good to get out of the house to play again.

And now you have new bandmates -- your computer.

Officially considered fully vaccinated as of today!

(Announcing that here, because I think it only counts if you announce it on social media or something like that)

Same for my wife and I, although today is one of the 2 days a week I'm in the office. And everyone wears a mask in public areas - hallways, labs, conference rooms, restrooms etc. So it doesn't feel any different, but maybe we'll go to a restaurant soon.
