    I haven't read that anywhere. Do you have a link for this?

    Thanks. This is what I was looking for and is certainly the best response of the ones given. Still, makes it seem like the Pfizer or Moderna one is better, though. But this does ease the mind a bit, given the bit you quoted from the article.

    I reposted it on my Facebook page and highlighted the same quote that you did.

    Sure is nice that people with no medical training can decide the pandemic is over just because they're tired of it. Saw a woman and child (old enough to know better) in a large, crowded store. Both wore their masks over their chins, not covering the mouth or nose. Once they got in the door, they didn't care. The employees of the store were in compliance. Just some of the customers doing their own thing to the detriment of everyone's health. Also visited one business where staff gets close to customers. Some of the staff were ignoring the posted "Masks Required" sign on the wall, and bare-facing anyone who came in the door. In this case, the customers were more Covid-conscious than the staff. I have to find a way to get vaccinated, very soon.

    Mask compliance in Michigan is still good. People still following the rules pretty much everywhere I go. The gov just announced that people over 50 with no pre-existing conditions can start getting vaccinations beginning mid-March, so hopefully the wife and I can get ours before too much longer down the road.

    Canada has approved the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. That’s four approved vaccines now. Hopefully we can get our shit together and get those vaccines in the door and into arms.

    Here, here. I like that the fact the J & J Vaccine is one dose and has 100% no hospitalization, or worse, success rate in the testing phase.

    That J&J vaccine is going to really take off.

    With the masking we have had, to the extent at which people complied, we haven't had a flu season this year. That alone should erase any doubt in anyone's mind that masks are in fact effective.

    Unless I'm misreading, this seems to be compared to the astra zenaca vaccine, which isn't even approved for use in the USA right now.


    This article also helps: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...k4enz0IwY0imLQ

    I would still prefer the pfizer, but I wouldn't say no to the J&J one.

    Mask compliance has been very good lately here in northern Ohio. They must have finally gotten through to the covidiots.

    In Texas yesterday, I shopped at three stores, went by my credit union, renewed my car tags at a government building, and ate at a restaurant.
    90% of the people were mask free, including all the workers... except the restaurant wait staff.

    ^Sounds risky but if you are comfortable that's all that matters.

    You have nothing to worry about. Governor Abbott will protect you from Covid. It's a hoax anyway.

    Actually, virus's are not living microorganisms. RNA or DNA encapsulated in a protein capsule.
    Zero people under 30 years old died of Covid, of seven million people, in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

    As of 3/5/21, 216 people between the ages of 20 and 29 died of COVID in Texas.

    I don't know how many were in Dallas/Ft. Worth (I would bet some were), but don't they matter?
