The moderna booster is a half dose so hopefully side effects will be reduced. Mine were minimal. 

My first two shots were Pfizer, if I got Moderna, it really would have put me out as the booster, at half dose, had similar effects on me as a full dose of Pfizer.

I've been meaning to read up on the company, I thought it was part of a larger drug company, but it's a small startup based out of MA I think, well, small compared to the likes of Pfizer and J&J. I wonder how a small company managed to compete with a giant like Pfizer.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I got my Moderna booster today at work. So far I feel fine 5 hours after the shot.  I felt terrible starting 8 hours after both of the first 2 shots. 

So far the booster is not as bad as the first 2 shots. Got it around noon yesterday and felt fine when I went to bed. Woke up around 3 with the chills. Put sweat pants on, took Tylenol, and turned the heat up and I felt better. A little headache this morning and feel tired, but much better than last time. Last time I felt bad for 36 hours.

Both my kids will be getting their first shots the week of 11/22. Big sigh of relief for me and my wife.

My 10 year olds are getting it after school today.

My crazy MIL keeps pestering my wife with misinformation from Facebook.  If brains were gold, she wouldn't have enough to blow her nose.

She doesn't play QB for the Green Bay Packers, does she?

No, QB has to move around.   She's more built like the entire defensive line.

The rest of the quote is:

"By Jan. 4, this pandemic may well be over, at least as it relates to the United States," at which point "we'll be in more of an endemic phase of this virus," Gottlieb predicted.

The biggest plus is the non-vaccine medication that treats the symptoms to prevent hospitalizations. Which, I am sure anti-vaxxers will gladly take 😛

Yep, trading one science for another.  How in the hell do they decide, most being science-challenged?

They were relatively small, but they did have the biggest biotech IPO in history in 2018 (raised over $600M). It's actually a cool story, their entire company was about modified RNA, hence their name (MODifEd RNA). They were just small enough to move fast, and big enough to have the money to do it. Right technology, right place, right time.

Now that the CDC has approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine for kids ages 5-11, here are my predictions as to what will happen:One-third of you will RUN, not walk, to get it.One-third of you will absolutely...

Agree with the article, It just shouldn’t be mandated like San Francisco plans to IMO.  

from the article….“Again, this decision is personal and unique to each family. And I won’t judge you at all if you want to learn more from me before you decide to get it for your kids. 

to me this reads, I won’t judge you as long as you ultimately agree with me.  What if they don’t agree to get it for their kids?  Is that ok?

Fine. As long as it's not personal and political.

My kid had to have a ton of shots to even get into school. It won't be long before the Covid vaccination is added to that shot list. Rightfully so.

    • @TxGolfDude I’m curious as to how long this ‘repeatable swing’ has lasted. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but we all know how cruel the Golf Gods can be. I too have had quite a golf swing journey. Unfortunately, when it comes to the golf swing I have zero natural talent. Nothing about it feels comfortable or natural. The grip? I’ve done them all and it still feels like I’m holding a knotted oak branch. The proper take away feels awkward and weak. Arms in a proper position, asinine and no feel of any power. I’ve had times where I think I’ve developed an acceptable swing with handsome ball striking for months only to fall apart. So, how long have you had this swing working for ya?
    • How come the marked shots on the picture add up to 366 yards and the label says 325? Are you playing it at 325? In any case, that hole is narrow with a capital NARROW. If those woods are lost ball territory, then I think you hit from the tee whatever club is accurate enough that you'll be able to hit the fairway "most" of the time. That could even be a wedge potentially, especially depending on how restrictive the trees back near the tee are. I might seriously consider playing this hole as 8 iron 6 iron or so. There's more room up by the green than the fairway, so save the longer club for the second shot.
    • Day 555, May 10, 2024 Practice outside at WW, hitting shots here and there. Good day.
    • I took a big step back last season in terms of scoring. I felt I'd plateaued and committed to another round of lessons and working on meaningful swing changes. Went from a 7.9 to an 11. Back down in the 10s. Just starting to see some of the feel of improvement show up in scores. In fact a few rounds ago I had my best round, both score wise and ball striking and putting, in a while! Shot 79 with a mental breakdown finishing bogey-bogey-bogey on a tough three hole stretch where I go scared of the water blowing up my 70s round and yanked three drivers in a row after pumping it long down the middle all day and then hit two of three approaches scared-yanked away from  water as well. Feeling like I can put some 70s rounds together this season!
    • Considering I only played a single round of 9 holes last year and only a handful of rounds of 9 holes in the 6 years before that. Now playing 18 hole on average ever 2 weeks this season. Definitely improved. Not by a drastic amount, but definitely improving. Hitting more pars and bogeys. Driving straighter etc. Practice helps! :D
