I don't understand why being pregnant makes someone more knowledgeable about vaccines. Being the spouse/partner of a pregnant woman doesn't seem like it provides any additional knowledge regarding vaccines...it does seem to make some folks be extra assholey on a skiing forum.

"I don't want the vaccine. They released it too quickly."
"I don't trust the CDC's new guidelines. Too sudden"
And never the twain shall meet.
I for one like it when people don't fuck around, get done what needs to get done, make decisions when decisions need to be made, and don't waste time with endless repetitive talk and second-guessing. Anyone else?

As I read it, and I think you agree, the 95% (Pfizer and Moderna) and 66% (J&J) efficacy numbers mean that it keeps you from getting seriously ill. The article lays it out pretty clearly:
Simple mathematics helps. If we vaccinated a population of 100 000 and protected 95% of them, that would leave 5000 individuals diseased over 3 months, which is almost the current overall COVID-19 case rate in the UK. Rather, a 95% vaccine efficacy means that instead of 1000 COVID-19 cases in a population of 100 000 without vaccine (from the placebo arm of the abovementioned trials, approximately 1% would be ill with COVID-19 and 99% would not) we would expect 50 cases (99·95% of the population is disease-free, at least for 3 months).
Isn't it 66% effective at preventing symptomatic infection, rather than infection at all? In the case of the Yankees it's exactly what you would expect, especially given how often these athletes are being tested. IMODamn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

It’s painfully obvious and embarrassing that KQ’s benign anecdote about seeing pregnant people getting vaccines at the clinic she was volunteering at was just the opening AR was salivating for to post up his story. Sure - post up your own anecdote about your experience. But why this discredits KQ’s story - or why it necessitated personal attacks is beyond me.
It is refreshing to see a ardent GOP’r say “imma listen to the experts here instead of what I wildly misinterpret on the internet”
I think the decision about vax in pregnant has to be made using the guidelines but ultimately based on the individual factors - age of woman, how far along pregnancy is, other medical conditions, prevalence of covid in geographical area etc etc etc
It’s great that your doctors gave you clear advice. Why in the hell you think the specific advice you got needs to be applied to all pregnant women full stop is baffling
Congrats on the healthy newborn though.

Question is did ArionRider get vaxxed, or did he opt out like the wife? If yes, why?

Yeah I did, J&J one shotter easy breezy. My wife wouldn't have (based on our doctor's thoughts and our discussions with them) but kiddo came prior to vaccine distribution in our hood, so ended up being a non-issue, and she got hers too.
And to everyone else, please. KQ has a 14 month history here of opinions concerning Covid and her express fear of it, her 'anecdote' was her saying bullshit and pregnant women should be vaxxed, and you all know this. Notably because my initial statement wasn't even taking a side. I said that pregnant ladies are the one group I consider giving a pass if they decide not to get it, not 'pregnant women should never get vaccinated'. KQ also has no kids, and has never had to weigh a decision like that. But yeah, she's totally neutral...
And Benny, you might have to keep waiting as I'm not a member of the GOP. Sorry to ruin your jubilation but maybe have a Fresca?Live Free or Die

let's call this out: your doctors, since the time they were advising you, might hold a more informed and refined opinion now. further, these purportedly ivy league doctors explained things at level that they thought you could understand, for your specific situation. So far, all you've said is "fevers are bad for preggers" which hardly clarifies the position or reasoning... and why its better to hear/read recommendations from a health care practitioners / agency vs. 2nd hand, nobody on the interwebs.
Maybe we should all stick to what we know - leave this shit to the doctors... and you can stick to drying up vaginas with your condescending mansplaining. There.. all sorted.

You said: “The mRNA-based Pfizer1, 2 and Moderna3 vaccines were shown to have 94–95% efficacy in preventing symptomatic COVID-19, calculated as 100 × (1 minus the attack rate with vaccine divided by the attack rate with placebo).”
What planet are you on that “symptomatic COVID” = seriously ill or hospitalized? A mild cough and headache is symptomatic COVID. The vaccines are way more effective than 95% at preventing hospitalization.
Again, where is your source?

Being the one in whatever in a statistical number, having a stillbirth, and having to live with the doubt as to whether or not you deciding to vax killed your baby. Ugggh.
It’s a tough decision. And taken too lightly by people blindly worshiping the altar of saint fauci and the cdc
And yes. I do not have a vagina. But I did lose a son at eight months gestation. It’s a shitty thing.. . .

Reread what she wrote.
She never said or wrote what you claim, just noted that some pregnant women have chosen to be vaccinated.
You note some chose not to be, despite the statistics.
And that's all fine until you try to boff around with the clumsy and completely inappropriate remarks about her not having kids, a completely shitty and below the belt, poorly shrouded personal attack.

The charitable way to look at it is the way F. Scott Fitzgerald did: "the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.”
There are less charitable ways to look at it as well.

I'll give you an anecdote to ponder.
Friends of mine that are semi-anti vaxxers had kids the same time we did. We have the same pediatrician. They asked the pediatrician if they should vaccinate their kids and claim that the pediatrician told them to do an alternative vaccination schedule so they reduce the risk to their kids. Mmkay, we go to the doc and ask about this because he's the professional and if he recommends not going with standard vaccine schedule then we'd like to hear why and decide what's best for our kids. He says he would never recommend going with an alternative schedule but he'll go with it if parents are adamant about doing so.
Point is, consider the source. Sometimes we hear what we want to hear. A friend of mine got the J&J vaccine while preggers because the doc told her he felt it was a good idea to. Went great, no issues.Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

Yes exactly. The same doctor could tell a pregnant woman not to get any vaccines until birth and tell another pregnant woman to get the vaccine now.
That’s not necessarily conflicting advice - turns out this shit, like most adult issues, is complicated and doctors don’t just follow national guidelines blindly like a robot without considering the specific situation a person is in.
There is a longer standing pandemic of “this is what happened to me so this is the truth going forward for me and for everyone else” that alas there does not appear to be a vaccine for.

I am not vaxing.
Why? There is a running gag order on those that are having major problems as a result of it. further, in order to feel secure in accepting it you must have faith in the government that is pushing it. I do not. We have in place an illegitimate régime that has placed the interests of itself first and the interests of American citizens last.
I wish you well and sincerely hope the poison you have willingly accepted will not harm you over the long term.
The good news for you is if you truly believe this is a safe and effective vaccine what I choose to do should not matter to you
One more thing... do not subject your children to masks. there is ZERO evidence that supports it. All you are doing is teaching your children to be subservient to their government masters.
