IF you had to take the vaccine, which one should you take?

1) Try to get one of the antiviral treatments

2) barring #1, use a pulse oximeter and keep an eye on your oxygen levels.

More than likely this will range from not much at all to probably not as bad as flu, but if you start developing pneumonia things can go to crap fast.

Don’t get the jab.
Delta Airlines lifted their vax mandate. More will follow.

They don't have instant test where you are or did the instant test negative and they had to send a sample out?

I got Pfizer about 90 days after my COVID infection ran its course. With the second dose I had body aches and a general feeling of malaise, similar to having COVID just not as bad.

It varies from country to country.

If I were faced with having to present a vaccine card, I would produce it. Doesn't mean I got jabbed. Test my blood it is full of antibodies.

Yep

If you want to leave the country (like the OP stated), or even travel by plane… you likely are going to need to get the vaccine. Sorry… but that’s reality.

I’m pro-vaccine, just anti-mandate. If someone decides on their own accord to get it, their choice. Same if they decide not to get it. But the issue with the current pushback against the mandate is that too much of it is just “no vaccine!” If there is a hill to die on, rather it be “no forced vaccine.” But to be fair to the OP, neither here/there.

I got Moderna, and zero issues… shy of a 12 hour flu after the second shot. Next day, I drove 600 miles. Got the second shot in mid-February.

J&J… I’m not that over the whole blood clot ordeal. And when Pfizer first came out, I heard a lot of horror stories of reactions that caused people going to the ER. Granted, they were from Canadians we were sending back to Canada… and that country is messed up with their vaccine protocol (mixing doses, waiting 10+ weeks for the second shot, etc).

^^^ This. It is also based on "older" vaccine technology, i.e. not mRNA. Perhaps "safer" if you're not a 30 year old woman on birth control (referring to clotting issues it had)?. Just my personal opinion.

Exactly where I'm at.

There are so many people giving the vax now, finding someone I can bribe...?

If I have to vax, which vax is best and the least problematic?

Tell them you are not going if you have to jump through those sort of hoops.

It's called standing up and saying 'no'.
