I had my 2nd dose of Pfizer in April. No reaction other than sore arm (less sore than first shot, oddly). I’m still awaiting activation of my Bill Gates microchip. Perhaps I’m not close enough to a 5G antenna.

This chipping via vaccine is a brilliant idea. Am going to look on app store for the 'Where is My Body?' app right now.

Interesting. I've been doing weekly video calls to India for the last couple of months and it's not a big topic of conversation.

Fiji's outbreak deaths have just passed 100. I'm still predicting a total of 600 but every vaccination brings the total down.

There is probably a small group of allergic and/or immunocompromised who may never be able to be vaccinated. One in a million? One in a 100K? Sucks to be them I suppose, but I suspect their issues are much broader than just covid exposure.

Prevalence of being immunosuppressed is difficult to estimate, but in the U.S. it seems to be around 1-5%, maybe more (e.g., see here and here). Maybe some or most can still be vaccinated, I'm not sure.

IIRC immunosuppressed people can get a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine but it may not do anything for them.

I think the Post article might be derived from this story from Alabama. Kind of a sensationalist twist on a serious story.

I didn't take enough interest in the "it's too late" headlines to click any. The headline says all I'm interested in. But I saw it from lots of big non-Fox publications and it always gets my attention when Fox or the Post has a slightly pro-vaccine story.

There's an apartment on my floor with plastic taped all around the door from the outside. This could be someone's relative trying to protect their loved one from outside viruses, or trying to protect others from their virus, or it could be asbestos abatement, or there could have been a death and they're sealing in the smell and the apartment's empty. Just remembered, there was loud banging that day, which could be from the door getting rammed in. The door may not close and they're hiding that with the plastic. You can't see through it.

Meanwhile, the outside air still isn't great from the fire out west, plus I smell second hand pot smoke a couple of times a day so I can't count on fresh air through the window.

I'd like to buy three more air cleaners for my apartment but I don't want to spend the money right now.
