Why is it that the DM headlines always puts a negative slant on a positive thing? "draconian"

'Naked in the world of COVID': Some J&J vaccine recipients feel unprotected against delta and want mRNA shots
'Naked in the world of COVID': Some J&J vaccine recipients feel unprotected against delta and want mRNA shots

Kevin Rosengren stared at the piece of paper in disbelief. No antibodies.
The 46-year-old resident of Richmond, Virginia, received the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine in March. He was confident in the vaccine’s effectiveness and finally felt free to leave his house, travel and meet with friends.
But lately, news of the highly contagious delta variant driving a surge of COVID-19 cases worries him. He doesn’t want to bring the virus home to his unvaccinated 11-year-old son.
Rosengren confided in his pharmacist, who offered an antibody test to dispel his concerns. Unfortunately, the results only added to them.
“I had this coat of armor on before, and now I feel completely naked in the world of COVID,” he said.

I thought I was reading this wrong-- I cannot believe I live in the United States where something this vile could occur during the worst public health crisis of our time- this is just sick.
They have a list called “big scary words” which they have to put in capitals for extra shock value.
When we had our last 7 day lockdown, one of my work associates said how much he enjoyed it and wished it went for another week. He doesn't get a lot of relaxation time, or much time with his daughters, so he thoroughly enjoyed it
They should try using "holiday" instead.

Guessing his daughters are older and not interrupting his work Zoom calls with mommy’s new makeup kit all over her face.They should try using "holiday" instead.

Anybody here with the JJ shot? My elderly father and immune compromised sister don’t know what to do. I thought perhaps they could get the Moderna shots and not mention they had JJ shot but it seems there was lots of documentation when first shots were administered. Sorry if this has already been discussed. My sister asked her doctor and he said “not without FDA approval “. We prefer to get ahead of the ball if possible.
I don’t think you will be called back unless you got your first/second shot at your doctors office.I can' t answer your question: the communication has been awful from the CDC- I expect we will get more information soon regarding booster shots with respect to Pfizer, Moderna and hopefully J&J- I think we are all in the dark really: I am trying to think how will we get those boosters? will we be called back by the entity where we got the first two shots or will we just go somewhere like a pharmacy to get the booster--- right now nothing is clear--
COVID-19 booster shot for Pfizer, Moderna vaccines will be available Sept. 20
View attachment 309350
Americans who are eligible can receive a third shot beginning Sept. 20, pending authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is expected in the coming weeks, according to a statement from the Department of Health and Human Services and other administration medical experts.
Yep, and worse the second time around tooYeah, the novelty wears off after a few months![]()
They say in the article the lockdown in NZ was economically crippling or some such thing as well and that scientists say Covid zero is impossible with Delta. Not the most encouraging article, is it!Why is it that the DM headlines always puts a negative slant on a positive thing? "draconian"![]()

We are watching the breaking news on TV now! Dr. Fauci is discussing a series of slides. We will be eligible for booster shots in October--I'm hoping early October since our second Pfizer shot was Feb 3.
I received an email yesterday from Walgreen's pharmacy, where my DH got his Pfizer shots. You had to make your appointment online when you got the first shot, so they have an email database. It was an email regarding how to make an appointment for the third shot.
