This Thread Blows - C19 and beyond

just got my second moderna dose y'day and feel like poop on a shingle today...hooray for tylenol!

that said, just feel hungover, achy, headache, no vomiting or other side effects, so from what i'm hearing, i got off pretty easy
 
had my second moderna last week, only had mild tiredness for 24hrs., less than the first shot. But, i had covid in november, so probably still had antibodies

My mom had polio as a kid and then post poly syndrome as an adult. Guess what basically doesn’t exist now a days and why.

Probably not the best example to use, as the initial vaccination (OPV) could actually develop in the full blown illness (VAPP), even though rare. Since moving to the inactive vaccine (IPV) that is no longer the case. The only person I know that contracted polio got it from the vaccine, this is way back in the mid '60s and in Italy, when ironically polio had already been eradicated. Still, the vaccine was the only way to remove the virus, no doubt about it. I like to think that when the initial anti-polio vaccine was manufactured they did not expect it could even sporadically actually turn into the virus (VDPV), unfortunately sometimes good things have side effects for a few.

Smallpox is a better example - completely eradicated in nature due to vaccines. Polio is still around.
 
Could be a stupid question... but...
Kid turning 12 in 2 months. Can she get the shot now or have to wait until she turns 12?

There was a polio survivor at my first post-college job. His right leg and arm were barely functional. I wonder how many people of his generation were anti-vax.
