Don’t be fooled by the Covid vaccines.
Aside from the very disappointing and dysfunctional rollout so far (less than 3 millions first doses in the time that they promised 20 million), the virus is mutating!
Hence the new yet more contagious Covid virus now going around.
I wouldn’t get my hopes up too high on the results of the vaccine quite yet.
Hype is the opioid of the masses.
Like the flu, Covid may be over when pigs can fly. 😉

So I was talking with someone about the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines coming out to protect again Coronavirus.
They tell me that the news is reporting 95% effectiveness and then they pull out their smartphone and show me a cartoon of someone taking the vaccine and their face is all deformed (I won’t go into the details).
So I ask him:
Are you going to talk the vaccine?
He says:
“No!”
I ask:
Do you take the flu vaccine?
Again he says :
No, it’s poison!
He thinks some more and says (jokingly, I believe):
And if some big burly guys try to hold me down and make me take it, I’ll tell them I’m gonna go out and get a gun and come back tomorrow and shoot them.
Bottom line: there is some real fear and apprehension out there about these vaccines.
And surely, some people do have negative effects–whatever that percentage is.
Personally, I will take the vaccine. I would rather try and fail (hopefully not), than never try at all!
How long the vaccine is effective for–that’s another matter all together. 😉
