Apr 26, 2021·1 replyI just got my first shot so idk how it'll go after the 2nd but so far my only side effect is that I really love Microsoft products.
Nuja 🦋Apr 26, 2021I’m ready to get my second one over with. I’m obviously doing this to be selfless to others and not put them at risk but man I’m ready to hang out with women freely again lol
Apr 26, 2021Got my 2nd shot last Thursday. Moderna, felt like s*** two days after then bounced back feeling fine.
Apr 26, 2021Got both Pfizer
Thank you Joe Biden, capitalism, and big PHARMA!

str8dollazThat’s not at all how immunology works.
The COVID vaccine is an mRNA vaccine that codes for a spike protein on the surface of the COVID virus. In nature, different proteins/genes/things are coded in DNA. This DNA is then remade into RNA. The body then reads the RNA and creates the protein or whatever the RNA coded for.
Now, in and of itself, the spike protein on the COVID virus is harmless, it just allows the viral partials to attach to things. With the vaccine, your body reads the RNA that was injected and creates some of the spike protein. Your immune cells then read this protein and remember it and are able to quickly recognize, and kill, it if your body is exposed to it again.
If a mutated viral partial comes along and has a different spike protein, your body doesn’t recognize it initially because you haven’t created that protein before. Your body then goes through the normal immune process that it would have had you never been immunized before.
I hope that was brief enough / makes sense, because I really don’t want misinformation on this floating around
So if you run into a different variant you gotta get another shot for that specific strain ?

So basically you gotta get a new shot after a new strain mutates?

I haven't looked into the research super in depth, so I might not be the best person to answer this. But I have seen that there is at least some cross-immunity with different strains, depending on how similar the strains are. I don't know to what degree though.
But this is exactly why we have to get a flu shot every year. The flu shot you get is based on the most common strains, but you need to get a new shot the next year because the virus mutates.
Now, does this mean that we'll need to get yearly COVID vaccines? Honestly, maybe, but that's still not really determined.

If it impacts efficacy. Mutations happen all the time, but most will have the same spike mechanism that the vaccine antibodies attack. The concern is that, over the span of 6-12 months, the mutations could sufficiently change that mechanism and allow it to bypass the antibodies.

This paper also said they can devise a new shot for the strain within weeks so it’s not that bad if a new strain weasels out of an acceptable efficacy range.

Doing this so I don't expose my at risk family members.
Apr 27, 2021Ooooh baby, this second Moderna is a little rough tbh.

Problem is production and distribution though.
