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?

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. 

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.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      The irons I have now are cavity back game improvement irons and I can definitely see how they're correcting my mistakes compared to the old blades I was playing before. But there's only so much a club can correct on a poor golf swing :D I'll give your drill a try and see how that works out, thanks for sharing that info. I am also considering taking some lessons as I really want to improve. Stretching definitely helps but I think not letting myself fully recover was a bad idea. Also years of skateboarding and downhill mountain biking has put a toll on my body, as I get older I can really feel that catching up to me.

      I agree. this wasn't decided Sunday night. Maybe a weight was lifted off his shoulders a few weeks ago and got him more relaxed. I wonder it will be brought up in his presser tomorrow? I'd like to think out of respect they will focus on golf but some one will bring it up I'm sure.

      Hitting toward the toe and on the toe are two different things. Clubs are more forgiving and since manufactures track data they build game improvement clubs to help golfers when they hits towards the toe. I think its Wilson Staff that actually put that wording in their product details for one of their irons. As for your back, all I can say is stretch, I'm no doctor so cant offer much. Here's a drill for you if you are interested.(Buy some spray foot powder and spray your club face when you hit some shots. ) At the range, out in front of you, place a ball directly in front of your position a few yards out, then one off to the left and right. Take turns hitting shots to the center then outside the left ball and outside the right ball or between two of them. Dont adjust your body position or alignment. Set up like you were going to hit the ball straight out in front of you then just use your hands to open/ close the club face to make the ball go to the left or right. My instructor had me doing that last year for club face control and I finally got the hang of it and could manipulate the club face and I was hitting in the center of the club face. it worked for me. Just an idea.
