Vaccinated people still hunkering is not irrational from a public health perspective. It's still not definitive whether vaccinated people can carry/transmit the virus. A large study with 12,000 college students just started last week to try to put some rigor to it. https://www.businessinsider.com/covid-vaccine-transmission-study-moderna-2021-3

Hunkering is different than taking precautions.

Getting the vaccine and wearing a mask at stores, keeping distances from strangers, etc is much different than refusing to leave the house.

I go to an office and see people, go to stores, some restaurants, I'm on a trip to AZ at the moment and have properly avoided getting or giving the virus.

While others getting vaccinated and eventually myself, it will open more things up for me, I'll still take a lot of the precautions I'm taking now out of concern of being a silent carrier. Heck, a lot of the precautions I've been taking have been to protect others, not myself.

But a huge budden is lifted as those around me (wife, family, coworkers) get vaccinated.

How likely is it that moving forward people will wear a mask when ill, as they do in Asian countries? Is it possible that 0.1% of that courtesy will stay in place here or will it be "f*ck it, I'm sick so who cares?"

Of course it is. You like to fly, what do you say to people who refuse to fly because they are afraid?

You wont die alone

This. It's sad to hear about fully vaccinated people frittering away their lives in fear. We have a 1/8000 chance of dying in a car crash every year...

Bad choice of words. Agree.

Orgy ready.

And here we go after 24-hours. Hopefully it goes by quicker than Shot 1.

Looks like the orgys will have to wait

Wanted to say, "Wow your oxygen level is almost perfect!" and saw the F.

Nah son. I'm bringing the heat.

Got my second shot yesterday at Kean. Noticed that they had 15 injection stations versus only 8 when I was there four weeks ago.

Feel fine 16.5 hours later.

Great news out of Israel - fully vaccinated (with Pfizer but should be applicable to all vaccines) reduced transmission by over 90%

Received my first dose of Pfizer today. I feel fine, I’m tired cause I woke up at 5am.

 

[Bike N Gear]

Shot number two in. Heldrich Hotel was empty. One hour including driving back and forth to the shop. I feel like a human, ticking timebomb waiting to go off n ow.

Donuts are why I qualify for the vaccine.

Well not really, but I like that excuse.

Hopefully you are fairing well after your second shot. Anecdotal reports I've heard is that AEs or other discomfort are typically more pronounced after the 2nd Moderna dose.
