It must be a great comfort to the half million dead Americans
I heard on Newsmax that those people are all in heaven now (except for the liberals), and they are indeed comforted that 30 million+ have gotten the first jab. So there you have it.

Sources I'm hearing from are saying it's having no impact on those already dead, more polling to follow

Just got me second shot. Awaiting the “Moderna 2 flu” that half my office has had this week.

Pretty much everyone where I work got their second shot earlier in the week already and I would say its been like 1/3rd have zero side effects (or minor sore arm), 1/3rd have a headache, and 1/3rd have a fever so bad they take a sick day. Seems very luck of the draw.
Beats the hell out of actual COVID.

I mean, it's the immune system kicking in. That's the symptoms.

One doesn't trigger the immune system enough to develop full immunity. You *can* stop at one, but then you'll get COVID.

I have a co-worker who elected for this. I spent five minutes trying to convince him of this. Then I called in our VP of Nursing and she spent five minutes trying to convince him of it as well. He still chose to cancel his second dose appointment because of his "risk/reward analysis". I threw a muscle in my eye socket from the eye rolling I did.

I get that
But she has issues from multiple sclerosis
She is ecstatic to get vaccinated but fearful of side effects and her body getting thrown off it’s pretty messed up state
I mean, I would prefer not to get a fever for 24 hours too but it seems a small price to pay (even with MS) for the benefits. Like if you think the effects are bad, what the hell do you think having COVID is going to be like?

Well partial immunity is better than none. Moderna is 52% effective after one shot.

They're predicting a March surge, when the much more contagious UK variant becomes dominant in the US.
