This is unexpectadly high, and good news for anyone who got the latest vaccine.

I'm on the west coast and the latest covid wave just started hitting my town, so I hope I can continue to avoid it.

My friend in a long term care facility a few towns over got hit a couple weeks ago and three people died. They got the last vaccine several weeks ago, and then got "minor cold symptoms" when covid hit their facility, but never tested positive. Not many residents facility got the last vaccine because of the fucking privatization bullshit.

This country is Satan.

Novavax is supposed to have a lot less severe side effects. More akin to a flu vaccine.

I've gotten moderna every time and it knocks my ass out for a few days each time. I haven't gotten a symptomatic case of covid since taking the vaccines, but I'm also pretty dilligent on masking in public and thankfully most of the people close to me still take precautions.
