hallo loves.

pfizer shot #1 here in aotearoa. walked into the health clinic in oneroa to just gather information, thinking i probably wouldn’t be eligible until july, and BOOM, they asked if i could come in that afternoon.

good god.

the relief i feel cannot be described.

i want to say a quick word about the vaccine, because the number of people i’ve met in person here in new zelaand who are “anti-vax” has been troubling me deeply. i also can’t shake the comments from previous vaccine posts where people accuse me of “selling out to the very establishment against which i used to rail” and calling me a sheeple for promoting and celebrating a feat of science that is going to save millions of lives.

listen, y’all.

do i believe that every scientist knows every thing about this vaccine and every effect it will ever have in every human forever and ever? hell no. do i think that science has always aimed in the right direction - progress, love, safety - for most of human history?

yes.

do i believe that having faith in the science has always been exactly that: a leap of faith - from every prescription and over-the-counter medicine i’ve ever popped in my mouth or slathered on my body to every vial i’ve blood i’ve had taken at every routine physical to every x-ray machine i’ve had the pleasure to encounter?

yes. yes. yes.

having faith in the science is...my faith.

nobody expects perfection, but have we ever?

we are all always shooting in the planetary darkness, trying to do our best to protect ourselves, our kiddos, our friends, our entire human family.

the hardest thing for me to hear on this little island i live on - often from otherwise sage women in their 60s and 70s - is that they’re not going to get vaccinated because they “don’t plan on traveling”. i don’t think they understand that when the virus begins to course through new zealand - which it inevitably MUST when the borders open, whenever that may happen - it will not matter whether or not they are traveling.

the virus will travel to them.

the virus could kill them if they get it.

but they’ve “done the deep research” and mistrust the vaccine. it will alter their dna. it will give them cancers. it is made from the bones of children. it is embedded with bill gates’ microchip. oh my friends. i worry. if this post changes one persons thoughts, it was worth it. get vaccinated. not just for you, but for team human.

♥️🙏🏼♥️

more soon - the althing should be ready for you in a few days. thank you for all the beautiful feedback about the lucy & neil video :

I've had both jabs, and I'm glad to have them, it does give me peace of mind, although, I'm still concerned about unknowingly being a carrier if I am ever exposed, so I do wear my mask when I'm in places like the grocery store or the doctor's office. I am mystified by those who are not going to do it. The paranoia is unfounded. It's ridiculous that everything has become so politicized, from wearing the mask to the vaccine, it's madness. All the vaccines that have been developed for so many diseases that are no longer a serious threat such as small pox and polio, for heaven sake, shingles should be given no matter how old you are, I got that shitty illness almost 10 years ago and I'm still dealing with the nerve damage it caused. The flu shot, even if it's the wrong strain, is better than nothing, it still helps you from being sicker. Good grief, every B-monster movie or B-space alien movie always has the scientist who is ignored in the beginning...guess who everyone turns to to save the day...the scientist that the mofo's poo-poo'd at the start of the flick. WTF. Science is granting my sister more time. She just finished her last chemotherapy session on Wednesday, and her numbers are looking great, she has stage 4 Ovarian cancer, it's a tough one to beat, but we remain hopeful, they are developing new treatments all the time, and I trust that everything that can be done is being done to help her, and to help millions of people who are suffering from so many diseases and having a COVID vaccine...is to me amazing. We have to be together on this, this division is doing our Nation harm. Wear the mask. Get vaccinated. We'll beat this thing together and come back from it stronger than ever.

yay for vax #1 amanda! Sad to hear the rationale of those women in NZ, hopefully they'll realize that they remain at risk even if they don't travel and get vaccinated. I'm so grateful to be fully vaxxed since march (pfizer too). As a tip for you - and all - if you get bad muscle aches after shot #2 as i did, CBD bath bombs worked pure magic. xoxo

I'm 34, female and just got my first AstraZeneca shot last week. It has gotten really bad press here (Germany), but I'm a statistician and after looking at the numbers I realized that the hell will I let any chance pass to get vaccinated. I took more of a risk by biking to my doctor's office than I took by getting vaccinated. And I also felt the relief so bad... I'm going to take my two year old to see my parents (both fully vaccinated) for the first time in 18 month. There will be so many tears... So - cheers to science, transparent news coverage and the vaccine!

Yeay Amanda, I'm so glad you got you first jab! Hurray! Can't wait to get mine either - in England the current age group is 30 and up, so in my case only 3 years away from me: I'm so excited!

Me and all my coworkers are all vaxed. My lead who works in the same room as us had an orgy with three unvaxed people over a weekend, came to work, and after hanging around us for an hour, found out that all three other orgy people had had contracted covid because one had it and didn't know. She left immediately and was tested several times over the course of a 10 day period. She did not contract covid, nor was she carrying covid. While I would never have an irresponsible unmasked orgy with anti vaxers, and I still wear a mask in public now because people be nasty, I don't worry about contracting covid. I got Moderna and it is quality shit, let me tell you.

Yay for team science and team human and team do it for those who can’t. My husband ., 3 boys, and myself are all fully vaxxed with Moderna in Texas. Mom (86) is fully vaxxed in NY. I got to spend 10 days with her in May. First time I've seen (in person) or hugged my Mom since Sept 2019. I was supposed to spend time with her in March 2020 and we cancelled right before the lockdown as we were suspicious of the virus being reported in the news. Little did we realize ... Anyway, I have a sister and her two children who have autoimmune disorders and are on immunosuppressive medications that give them relief from symptoms and a higher quality of life. Although they are all fully vaxxed, science can’t say if the vaccine works as well on them as it does those of us with more normal immune systems. Every unvaccinated adult heightens the risk to all of us of variants. But to the medically vulnerable, adults who are unvaccinated by choice and who also refuse to continue following CDC recommendations on masks and social distancing literally endanger their lives.. They also prolong the life cycle of this virus and the longer the virus has receptive human bodies in which to replicate, the higher the likelihood it will develop variants that are more infectious in children and young people. So these anti-vaxxers are part of the problem instead of being part of the solution. So thanks Amanda for this post and for getting your shot.

I just had my 2nd dose of AstraZeneca vaccine today, Monday 31st May (my birthday) and in 2 weeks I will be deemed “fully vaccinated “ but still will be wearing a mask because as I watch the news and dip into the interweb I still see the impossibility of fixing stupid!

Amen, amen!

I truly am afraid to get the vaccine. My mom and I had a really bad case of covid that lasted almost a month and we're still feeling long term symptoms of fatigue and no energy. Our bodies have created antibodies and my aunt is saying if I don't get the vaccine (which she has) that she won't take me to Cali for my birthday, because the Mexico trip isn't happening ( I've never been out of the country and I was so excited, because she has a time share). I don't know what to do. I know someone who got the vaccine and got full on covid and considering my body fought it off, I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place. I'm not antiVax I just have already been through it and it was BAD, and I don't like people pushing me to do something, it makes me feel I have no control, especially since my body made Natural antibodies. I guess its the ultimatum that gets me more than anything. Any advice?
