I got the shot twice, one in each arm! Supposedly there is a smaller chance of a reaction if the shot goes into each arm. Few people get any reaction to the Pfizer vaccine. I may have gotten a rash in an area a bathing suit covers. I don’t know if I was overly tired the day after because I did a lot of digging which I am not accustomed to doing.

            People get a reaction to many vaccinations, foods, and environments. People take a vaccine with a tiny potential chance of a slight reaction to avoid the probability of a big reaction to the disease. Most people run their lives that way. They buy insurance for their home, car, and for their families, even life insurance. Getting a Covid shot is offering some insurance against getting sick. Getting the second shot and maybe a booster is full insurance.

            Nation after nation thought it had herd immunity revising its rules only to find the new variants are worse. Since the seniors are mostly vaccinated, the mutations are going after young adults and kids.

            People who are not yet vaccinated risk their life, those around them, and people they never met. The virus may decide to mutate in their body into something the vaccines won’t give them or the vaccinated protection.

            People talk about patriotism but aren’t brave enough to get two shots? Don’t wrap yourself in the flag when you can’t take two painless shots.
