February 10, 20214 yr WHO will end research into 'extremely unlikely' theory that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan lab "The investigators have visited hospitals, research facilities and the seafood market where the first outbreak was identified, although their contacts in Wuhan are limited to visits organized by their Chinese hosts." I feel so much better...The organization that did all it could to carry China’s water at the beginning of this wants to assure us, it couldn’t possibly be anything from a Chinese lab... not at all... stop looking there. Look I don’t really buy the conspiracy theory or anything, but at this point anything the WHO publishes on “where it came from” is at best suspect. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
February 12, 20214 yr Speaking of vaccines...I’d advise anybody getting the series to deliberately plan the backside of those shots to not be busy.1st shot didn’t do much, just a little muscle stiffness in my arm/neck which meant a poor nights sleep and a touch of hangover...2nd shot put me solidly on my ass 6 hours after getting it, basically it’s the 24-36 hour flu without the nausea/vomiting.Needless to say if you told your wife you were gonna paint the bathroom that weekend or something, think about maybe putting something else on the schedule.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Reports from several coworkers that it is also with the nausea/vomiting which honestly really has me panicked.
February 12, 20214 yr 2nd shot did in fact suck. But I didn't die.Will report back.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 12, 20214 yr We’ve had many dudes go down for multiple days from each shot. One guy was hit hard for 3 weeks following the first one. Have cancelled a lot of lines for lack of pilot availability. It’s no walk-in-the-park flu shot.
February 12, 20214 yr Just got the first shot and that night I slept for a solid 12 hours. Next day I had some body aches, 800mg motrin solved that. A squadron mate was down for the count for a day or two. Hoping shot two doesn't take me down long since I'll be in the midst of airline training.

February 13, 20214 yr 1st shot (moderana) was absolutely nothing. Second shot in a little short of 24 hours later I was on my ass with high grade fever, then chills, and constant headache for about 8 hours. All symptoms ceased after 8 hours and I was back to normal. I basically slept the entire day. We are scheduling at work based on that timeline. 48 hour DNIF.

Are your MDGs telling you it's a 48 hour DNIF? Mine is. No factor because a)non-flying job and b)my MTF ran out of vaccines.

February 13, 20214 yr 6 hours ago, MyCS said: Civilian: I need you to really collect vaccine numbers weekly for the Groups in the wing. CC feels like people are being skipped. Me: I guess you both don't read the SITREP. We don't have any vaccine and the medical office for scheduling is overwhelmed for this huge joint base. Giving you and the boss numbers isn't going to resolve a supply and scheduling issue. This is prevalent throughout the US right now. People aren't purposely skipping over others. Y'all acting like you're 75+ years old or something. 1.) Commanders should not be asking people whether they got the vaccine or not. As long as it's on an emergency authorization thats health privledged information between a person and their provider. 2.) People are definitely skipping at my OCONUS base, but that probably has more to do with talks on vaccine passports accelerating and people in a hurry to travel this summer. EUCOM, I think, has had the most oppressive lockdown restrictions of those I've I informally surveyed. People are pretty pent up here and want to get out. If the vaccine is the ticket, than so be it.

February 13, 20214 yr No one is being skipped here but on vaccine days you can show up at the end and if they have leftover shots they’ll give it to you instead of throwing them away. They tend to run out of extras pretty quick.

February 13, 20214 yr I got the second dose of the vaccine yesterday (about 17 hours ago). First dose I had a mild fever the next morning and joint pain the day of. So far on the second dose, zero side effects. Pfizer version.

February 15, 20214 yr Using COVID-19 as an opportunity for political retribution, our wonderful new White House administration had discussions (which they are trying to walk back), about imposing travel restrictions on those traveling from Florida. The Fla governor has justifiably pushed back using actual infection rates. The shocking thing is Florida's infection rate, even with the spike, it not in the top 20 of U.S. states. Oddly, California has a higher rate than Florida but the White House doesn't see a need for restrictions on them. I don't really like DeSantis but he had a great line - “And if you think about it, restricting the right of Americans to travel freely throughout our country while allowing illegal aliens to pour across the southern border unmolested would be a ridiculous, but very damaging farce.” ‘Absurd': DeSantis Pushes Back on Possible Florida Travel Restrictions by Biden Administration These is some good news this morning as nationwide infection rates have dropped dramatically (Coronavirus infections are plummeting) in the past 30 days.

At some point you have to collect numbers and names to communicate the demand signal and schedule shots. My motley crew (mil, civ, ktr) is tracking to a high percentage vaccinated, and we protect privacy of responses (and non-responses). If you worked at a base where 100% of the population had MDG PCMs, then it could be provider-to-person and that would be preferred.

Not sure why your MDG is pushing back. Like, our MDG asked us to do this to. Then we flat out told them no, it's health privledged information so long as the shot isn't a deployment requirement, to which they agreed. Then they complained, then they staffed a staff sgt to sit a desk and take names and keep all of that shit in house. But never should convenience of the command take priority over the ethics or rights of our personnel.
