Stole this from someone on Facebook. Thought it was helpful and that others might as well.
Really? They are paying people to get the vaccine? Where I live most of us are willing to pay for it instead lolI know I am ready for this to be over.
The Governor of West Virginia is giving everyone between the ages of 16 and 35 a $100 savings bond if they get vaccinated. It's too bad it is coming down to this but whatever it takes to get as many people as possible vaccinated.
The first conspiracy theory is from a private school in Florida.. I guess the head of it is aApparently there's a loony conspiracy theory going around that simply being around someone who's been vaccinated will disrupt someone's fertility, or possibly even kill them. I swear these conspiracy theories are getting stupider by the minute.
Plus in this state, some guy did a mass mailing that was basically a full-page rant about what he thinks the vaccine does to you, and touting ivermectin as a cure for COVID. I know a few studies show it may have a slight effect on the virus, but I'm pretty sure that's under medical conditions, not some rando drinking or injecting themself with cow de-wormer.
The situation in India is dire, and new mutations are developing at an alarming rate. So far, vaccinated people seem safe from the mutations too. But it's just a matter of time before a mutation pops up that the vaccines don't protect against, and then we're in trouble. To avoid that, we need nearly everyone to get vaccinated. One study showed that "hard no" people almost never change their minds, but that "soft no/maybe/wait and see" people usually end up getting vaccinated if their friends and family members encourage them to. So if you know anyone who's wavering, don't be afraid to help them along a bit.
I wonder, if they said they'd send all refused doses to India (or another country), if that would make some of the more contrary Americans want the vaccine?
It's not from there. . .they're in the news because of it, but they got it from somewhere else. There are just a whole lot of those kinds of theories floating around. One person says something, it gets repeated on social media, suddenly there's a new wacky theory.The first conspiracy theory is from a private school in Florida.
When I had my first shot last week or so, I noticed my right neck lymph node was swollen. Was worried at first when I noticed, but realized it was a lymph node and that must be what it was from. I can't feel it now, so back to normal. Also when waking up in the middle of the night that first 24 hours my arm was so sore if I tried to lift. Luckily that was the worst of it and a few hours after getting up it slowly got better throughout the day. I had gotten my shot about 3 pm, for reference.and lymph nodes swelling at neck or arm > gets better by itself in a week or so.
I did not feel much about the first shot except a little sore on the jab site 6 hours later and I kept massaging that point and did sone light stretches for the arm and the sore went off in a few days but I did not have sore arm.When I had my first shot last week or so, I noticed my right neck lymph node was swollen.

Not sure I'm looking forward to the second one and what side effects I may get, but I know it is needed.
