Fine...but having no idea what your levels actually are is taking a chance. We don’t blindly suggest supplements and go by ‘ should be ok.’ We get the levels and go from there.

FWIW, I don’t have a thyroid anymore as it was being a little bitch a while back and I fired it. So I take Vitamin D as a supplement anyway.

Question - they've been telling people to take whatever vaccine is made available to them. Would you be able to take either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine later if the only thing you could get right now was one of the lower efficacy vaccines?

The surgeon was explaining the removal of part of my wife's thyroid many years ago and when he finished he asked if we had any questions. I said, yeah, "could he install a mute switch while he was in there"...  Good thing I didn't bruise easily back then but it's one of those things we laugh about now.  😁

Our 2nd Moderna shot that was due tomorrow has been postponed 'til Saturday due to the weather and holiday. Things happen...

I'll let the medical professionals chime in but I heard that once you take one brand of vaccine you have to take the same follow up vaccine.

I don't think that's what he's asking, but… I also don't know what he's asking, either, as the J&J vaccine (the "lower efficacy" one) isn't out yet.

I am asking a hypothetical question. Because my wife is part of the group that's going to be last vaccinated, by the time she does get vaccinated I'm guessing the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be part of the vaccines used. In the event that she gets that vaccine, will she be able to get a vaccine further in the future that is more effective

Good article.

As to my question - yes, no, IDK?

Expand  

I don't think your question has been answered yet.  The other question... whether you can choose Pfizer or Moderna hasn't even been answered.  Because of the scarcity of vaccine I think it's take what we give you and don't ask questions...

It's been only 4 days since my 2nd Pfizer shot, so these posts are good info to me. Naysayers have got to keep in mind that even with the yearly flu vaccine people still contract the flu. Also, the flu symptoms are often much less for the vaccinated individuals. 

Expand  

Comparing the COVID vaccine to the Flu vaccine is not correct. We get yearly flu vaccines because we are predicting the specific stains that will be likely. People can be infected because they get a non-covered strain or due to incomplete protection.

For SARS COV-2 there is 1 strain (now with several variants). It is much more like a Measles vaccine than a flu vaccine. If we need boosters remains to be seen due to incomplete data about the length of protection.

My second Moderna shot was scheduled to be tonight. They have postponed it to (hopefully) Monday. I know they've said a few extra days over the 3 week interval isn't going to affect the efficacy, but I can't help worrying that I'm gonna lose a few percentage points. Grrrrr

They actually extended the time to second dose to 28 days minimum as the recommendation from 21 days.

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.

      My Journey to Straighter Iron Shots

      By MiuraMan ·

      A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
