DD was negative again yesterday. I’m torn because of course I would rather my kids not get sick, but it would be nice to at least get it all done at once. School is following cdc that her 14 isolation will start after our 10 days since we can’t isolate from her. 24 days y’all! Plus I think I would have felt half way safe enough to travel home to Iowa for the first time in almost a year and a half in the next month or so while we will had likely immunity. Maybe, I don’t know. Anyway I’ve got an antibody test also scheduled for Tuesday to see if maybe she had it first with no symptoms and that is why she isn’t positive. Or maybe she has superwoman immune system. 🤷🏼♀️ That’s disappointing. Fuck covid :/

Ok, hopefully not as bad as first reported. But still...hope they don’t get any ideas.

I have to admit I’m nervous for H to get his 2nd dose of the moderna. I’m hearing more and more (albeit not first hand) that there’s quite serious reactions including death happening.

My kids are 10, 8 and 5. I signed up to be notified if there are any relevant trials starting. If the vaccine is safe for elderly adults with preexisting conditions, I feel pretty safe letting my healthy kiddos get it. Where were you able to sign up for trials? I really want my kids in one (6 & 7).

This is just not true. Some people feel like crap after because it's building immunity and that goes away in a day or two but people aren't dying from the vaccine Eta I don't mean to be harsh but if either of you are concerned please ask your doctor and I wouldn't worry about second or third hand accounts. The doctor is going to have a lot better information

There were 10 serious allergic reactions for the whole country in December and January and they were fine afterward

I'm getting so frustrated. MIL just shared a video with a bunch of us that is filled with more nonsense and misinformation about the vaccine and treatments (yes including hydroxychloroquine). I told her I'm not going to listen to an orthopedic surgeon talking about debunked treatments on some far right website. She said she was just sharing information and I could do with it what I wanted. Like can we seriously NOT do this again. It's been a damn year, we know so much more about what works for treatments and there's a vaccine already out there. And she's not anti vaccine (FIL is actually scheduled to get his, BIL got one), they wear masks, stay home and do grocery delivery, etc. She knows better. It's like her logical brain is constantly in a fight with the trumpy conspiracy brain and she always let's the trumpy side win online. Just stop. my friend has shown her stupidity not separating herself from the rest of her family at all when she got covid--but they tested negative she says. so then since before christmas it's worked it way thru her household including the 3 month old premie grandchild and the son in law who got very very sick. She's a just now retired nurse practictioner. today she sent me a link to a rumble video about why she's rethinking getting the vaccine. I did not watch much except that there was a lady on stage, a bunch of clapping and then fast forward to it's a biological agent, and you still have to wear a mask and x'd out of the page. I told her I don't get important info from rumble videos. or from youtube videos either. I didn't even know what rumble was.

The S. African variant is in MD, determined to be community spread. Cool cool. these variants are also more resistant to vaccines from what I’ve read? This is so frustrating.

I struggle with my anxiety of filtering out stupid conspiracy theories and I try to remind myself it’s fb and all but sometimes it ramps me up.

Between having to stay quarantined through my girl's isolations, my own isolation, then the baby's quarantine, I was stuck in some form of quarantine/isolation from December 28 through January 25. Just bonkers. Good thing we had no risk to our jobs or finances, because my gosh, a whole month. I was SO DONE by the end. So done.

Oooh you mean like how my mom shared a story about how more than 70 doctors in the EU came out against the vaccine because it halts puberty in boys? Do y’all know how many deep breaths I have to take when I talk to them on the phone? There hasn’t even been any trials done on kids under 16 right? Correct. Which is just 😤😤😤😤

I struggle with my anxiety of filtering out stupid conspiracy theories and I try to remind myself it’s fb and all but sometimes it ramps me up. I.... feel like that is just not true. Like I think the public would have heard of tons of people dying from the vaccine and I don’t think any reputable doctor would be like YUP IT WAS THE VACCINE. complications and reactions to vaccines or antibiotics or medicines are so complicated. I’m not saying you are lying, I am saying I’d take that with a huuuge grain of a salt. Bc at this point, don’t you think if it were true that many more were dying from the vaccine, the news would be allll over it?

Also, death is almost always listed as a "severe side effect" of a vaccine. But it is rare, and not usually something a moderately healthy adult has to worry about. We still get our TDaP and flu shots and everything. It's possible that someone got the vaccine and then died of an unrelated cause.

There were internet claims that Hank Aaron’s death was due to the vaccine. But completely unsubstantiated. By all accounts he died in his sleep of natural causes.

This person was supposedly an expert in biological weapons even though you google her and that's not listed anywhere on a reputable website. MIL did mention something about how you still have to wear a mask. I was like uhh yeah, so? That's what we're planning on doing. It's just more of the same crap.

I struggle with my anxiety of filtering out stupid conspiracy theories and I try to remind myself it’s fb and all but sometimes it ramps me up. I understand getting worried but I would try to remind myself that if it does not come from a legit news source, it’s not something to worry about. I work for a big healthcare system. Many, many people I know have reported side effects after getting their second shots. No one that I have heard of has had anything worse than flu-like symptoms and not for more than 48-72 hours after. Then, back to normal - nothing prolonged or lasting.

Random question- does the vaccine change your quarantine if exposed to a positive case?

I say this gently and with the realization that my husband calls this place a mommy group, but fuck a local moms Facebook group as a source of information. I would stop reading that in totality if it is causes you that kind of anxiety.

goldenlove your MIL is my mom. The “just sharing so you know” crap drives me nuts. I don’t need to know about all the lies. Asa Hutchinson responded to a question about Marjory Taylor Green this morning by saying that we shouldn't expel from government people "who think a little bit differently " The FUCK?!

Fucking spin doctors of truth to lies, that they then call theories. Fuck them.
