So I got my 2nd Moderna dose a couple of weeks ago.
Never did get sick like several people I know - no fever, chills, etc. However, I had a massive bruise at the injection site and a couple of days after the shot, I had a huge red splotch extending from the site, down my bicep, and into the elbow. Looked like a rash but it didn't hurt or itch. Just looked like a big birthmark. |

I almost feel like the best case would be for it to be far more transmissible but far less virulent. If we can get a mild disease to take over the world, we might finally truly start getting past this thing. |

The data were collected in both South Africa and European countries where verifications were found in the new variant. It should be emphasized that these are preliminary data that the whole world is waiting for, and at this point they become the working assumption. According to these data, the effectiveness of the vaccine (for those who received three doses, ie also the booster), decreases only slightly: 90% protection, compared to 95% protection against the Delta strain. These are impressive and somewhat reassuring figures. The effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing serious illness, for those who have been vaccinated three times, is the same as the effectiveness against the Delta strain - the strain that has been the most dominant in Israel so far Or just go here for an English version: https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wel...tuesday-687392 |

So it's more like one of those roll of the dice things. Maybe you have a 70% of things going your way on any given roll, but maybe don't be too surprised when it doesn't. I no longer remember the exact numbers, but the pathogen behind the black death took generations to become relatively harmless if I understand the story correctly. And the early reports of the new virus causing mild sickness seems to based largely on a relatively young population in South Africa. Is that surprising? But again, here's to it being a less serious variation. |

Virology 101 is viruses don't want to kill their hosts and tend to get weaker. This was to be expected. The 4 common circulating coronaviruses probably operated the same way with the last one believed to have arrived late 1800s and is now a common cold. |
