I feel a little "beat up" today, after getting my second jab yesterday. But the pains are fading now. Nice to know that there is an immune system there still, and that those white cells are holding the fort.
I'm ready to rock AND to see other people rock - as soon as possible

It really flipping sucks to have Covid-19. The symptoms are still there, and a few new ones arrive every day. I lost my taste yesterday. We were eating lasagna for dinner and I couldn’t taste anything.
I hope it goes away.

This vaccine hesitancy is difficult for me to understand, but this article interviewed a number of people in rural Tennessee about their reasons for not getting vaccinated.

I just do not understand the anti vaccine attitude some people do have. I have been six times to Africa during the past 10-12 years. There is yellow fever, malaria, hepatitis A, B, C, cholera, and a number of other diseases. These diseases will kill you, or make your body seriously messed up, unless you take vaccines and proper drugs. So I did everything the vaccine experts said, my vaccine card is pretty packed, like expected when you travel the world for The Rolling Stones, or for other reasons. Vaccine is simply a natural way of protecting yourself, as well as others, and to make life easier.
Never underestimate the number of unintelligent people out there. I live in Tennessee. I work in a school where the school nurse refuses to get the vaccine...

I don't think vaccine resistance is a matter of being smart or not. Some do not want any needle into their body of religious reasons. Others think they are perfectly healthy, and they do not see any reason for having any vaccine. This is all a matter of information and trust.

Is there a reason she gives? I know of doctors where I live that say avoid the Astra Zeneca, but they don't give any real reasons as to why.

A study of those taking and refusing the vaccine in California. Interesting information that confirms politics rather than race is the primary driver in California. [www.sfgate.com]
From you lips to Gods ears about another stimulus check/ incentive . I feel that will be a most heavy lift from Congress to get another round of stimulus checks ? I could be wrong ?Quote

If current vaccination rates hold (they won't) we will reach herd immunity in the US by the end of July/early Aug.
(making a late summer early fall tour more than feasible).
Even with the number of vaccinations slowing due to the hesitancy etc., when you add in the number of people that have some immunity from catching the virus,
that will add enough to put us over the hump imo.
Ways to help get the vaxx-hesitant people to get the jab will also work I'm betting. States will likely follow other states examples and incentivize the shot- W Virginia is offering young people $100 savings bonds for ex. It may also take another stimulus check from the Feds, with a bonus for those vaccinated, as well.
As states reopen, incentivizing Americans to vaccinate against covid-19 is an urgent priority

Many companies are also requiring or paying employees to be vaccinated.
With all the things people won't be able to do if not vaccinated (fly, work,travel,concerts et al)
it will soon be a bigger pain than imagined and we will reach 75-80% fairly quickly I believe.
