I salute any anti-vaxxer, who caved to the mandate and now are trying to detox the vaccine

For anybody who has kids 5-12 and was curious about getting vaccinated. I’ve got 2 friends who’ve vaxxed their kids (ages 6, 7.5, and 11) and so far they haven’t had any post symptoms besides having a sore arm on the day they got the shot.
Other than that, they’ve been fine.
I’m still gonna chill on getting my kid vaxxed. Gonna wait a couple months and then get vaxxed. I have a feeling the state of CA is gonna have a mandate next year for kids to get vaxxed.

If I were Jewish and/or a descendant of a Holocaust victim, I would be SUPER heated. Like going off on these clowns hard.

My kids had sore arms for a day too.
IMO, unless you’re adamantly opposed to vaccinating your kids for some dumb reason, there’s no good excuse to wait any longer. You just run the risk of having them catch COVID. The only logical reason I can think of would be if they’ve already been infected and recovered recently.
Now I’m debating whether or not to give them the second dose at 3 weeks or push it off a bit to help minimize side effects and possibly give more durable long lasting immunity. Shane Crotty says data points to ~6 week spacing being the sweet spot. It will likely come down to what infection rates in our area look like a few weeks from now.

This quote in the NYT newsletter said it best (from Bob Wachter, the chair of medicine at UCSF):
"I’m still going to be thoughtful and careful,” Wachter told The San Francisco Chronicle. But “if I’m not going to do it now, I’m probably saying that I’m not going to do it for the next couple of years, and I might be saying I’m not doing it forever."
I try to keep up on the numbers but I've stopped getting worried about them or making my plans contingent on them. A year ago, the worst covid could do is kill 2 million Americans. Now, the worst it could do is kill something like 50,000 vaccinated Americans, which is still bad but on par with the flu.

For those getting boosters, what are you basing it off of? I’m about to hit 6 months but not sure if I really need it at the 6 month mark. I’m still working from home and likely stays this way for the winter. I’m thinking it’s better to get the booster when I will be exposed to more risk than now.

Because I don't want to get COVID
Not trying to mess around and find out. Got my booster early Oct and it's been fine.
I think of it as getting my yearly flu shot. The benefits outweigh the risks imo

You plan on getting it every 6 months even if they don’t approve a 4th booster?

I'm not planning to, but if we start to see evidence that immunity wanes after the booster, then I wouldn't mind doing yearly boosters or even twice a year.

if there's evidence that immunity wanes after the booster, then I probably will get another booster.

If PCR, it could just be non infectious viral particles. IMO, antigen test is a better tool for determining if you’re actually infectious.

Yeah that's what the nurse was saying...going to look into the antigen test right now...
