Vaccine for Covid-19

Vaccine for Covid-19

Happy Friday and happy Memorial Day.

First of all, thanks to all those out there who serve or served. I appreciate your sacrifice and willingness to protect everyone else.

My anxiety level is rising as I approach my upcoming flight to Nashville to move our son into a new condo. Work trip. He and Natalia drove down earlier this week. I am flying Southwest and their communications about their protocols have been comforting, but I can’t help but be nervous. I’ll let you know how it goes. I have all the PPE imaginable. I have my ski goggles. I stopped drinking water a few hours ago!!

I wanted to make a quick comment about vaccination, since it has been in the press incessantly.

Vaccines are vital but they do NOT prevent you from getting infected.

AGAIN, they do NOT prevent you from getting infected.

Only not getting exposed to the bug does that.

What a vaccine might do is prime your immune system to identify the bug sooner, attack it and hopefully eliminate it before it has a chance to take hold and make you sick. 

It also does not make you non-contagious if you have been exposed. You might be contagious for a shorter period of time, but you can still spread the infection.

We need to stop hoping for a fix. It ain’t commin’ soon.

Your best plan is to continue to strive to become healthier which will help you overall and might minimize your potential to get sick if and when you get exposed. I’m convinced the majority of people will eventually become exposed.

I’m going off line for a bit. Have a great weekend.

Stay safe and be well.
