UT Southwestern Medical Center Hospital, Texas.

22,234 eligible employees eligible for vaccination.  Vaccinations started on Dec 15

On Jan 28, vaccination status and Covid test results (Dec 15 - Jan 28) results were observed.  On that day:

 

8969 had not been vaccinated - 234 got SARS CoV2 infection

6144 had got 1 dose - 112 got SARS CoV2 infection

8121 had got both doses - 4 got SARS Cov2 infection 

 

Between Dec 17 and Jan 9, the number of positives per day was hovering between 10 and 15.  Between Jan 9 and Feb 11, it is between 5-10 per day.  Between Feb 11 - Feb 25, it is between 0 - 2 per day.  It's like Prasidh Krishna's bowling yesterday.

BTW, I got my first dose on Monday.  Very mild pain at injection site started 8 hours later. 

Took one dose of tylenol.  Pain subsided in an hour and never came back.  No other side-effects.   

2nd dose in April.

.05 translates to 5% which is consistent with what they have said so far that it is effective in 95% of poulation.

mRNA technology is a game changer if logistics can be figured out.

Moderna, as well. I had very mild pain at the injection site - started ~ 8 hours after and lasted ~ 15-16 hrs.  My elderly MIL also got it the same day and had the same mild symptoms.  

Freakkin 2nd dose was a butt-kicking.  Took vaccine yesterday morning at 9:30 am.  Nothing for 12 hrs.  Went about the day as normal.  Then suddenly started shivering and spiked a fever.  Held out for 4-5 hrs.  Finally couldn't take it any more and took tylenol.  Still it lasted all night.  But was fine by 10 am today.  Called in sick to work.  Cancelled all classes and meetings.  Enjoying on ICF and Hotstar :-).

Good luck!  Just reflect on the wonders of how a small strand of A, C, G, U letters is translated by our cells to make this villainous but impotent protein, setting off alarm bells that will keep sounding if the real villain ever appears :-)!!

 Ya it is amazing  how such a small strand  can fight a deadly virus. I also appreciate the human body and our immunity which is smart to learn from things around it.

How Are Bacteria Helpful to Humans? 

How are bacteria beneficial to humans? To gain insight, think about eating food. You cannot digest your food completely without the bacteria in your digestive system. Next, think about fighting disease. You cannot protect yourself from several types of illnesses without the help of these microorganisms. It is hard to think about bacteria and all the millions and millions of types engulfing you inside and out. But if you stop and put it in perspective, you will discover without bacteria humans could not survive.

How Bacteria Help

The first thing to realize is most bacteria are good for you. Don’t let the word fool or mislead you. It is easy to get caught up in the thought that bacteria are bad when you are surrounded by anti-bacteria soaps and cleansers, but there actually are a lot of great reasons to be thankful that the microorganisms are around. They offer benefits such as assisting in:

  • Digestion and consumption of food
  • Absorption of nutrients
  • Immunity development
  • Prevention of allergies
  • Production of vitamin K and other vital vitamins
  • Prevention of conditions such as Crohn’s disease and inflammatory bowel disease
  • Inflammation reduction
  • Blocking pathogenic bacteria from inhibiting the body

On a tangential note - close to 10% of our DNA is from viruses.  They get into our cells and insert their genetic material into our DNA, and it stays there.  We literally are 10% virus!

Meh ... I think there is something wrong with my Roku stick.  Terribly pixely.  

Why you can install Hotstar app on most SmartTVs, I have a 65-in Samsung 4KHDTV that streams great VQ IPL feed.

Don't worry, booster shots will cover that mutation.

Jokes apart, are the affected doctors in India all vaccinated, basically suggesting that fatalities will continue to some extent ? Some bad news going around.
