That's how I understand it. My understanding about why the injected polio vaccine is used in the US is that chance of a non vaccinated person getting polio in the US is less than the risk of getting it from the oral vaccine, while the injected vaccine, while it doesn't prevent harmless infection, is safer.
Good article in the New Yorker about the Russian Sputnik V vaccine, which is an adenovirus vector vaccine, like the J and J. Sounds like the design and development were sound on a scientific basis but the testing and reporting of results not. It gets around the problem of people being potentially immune to the adenovirus by using a rare strain to which few people have been exposed. (I wonder if that might depend on where in the world you are, since the vaccine is being sent to a lot of less developed countries.) Unlike J and J it is two doses, the second using a different adenovirus strain as vector, since if they used the same virus for both shots the immune system would destroy it the second time around. Perhaps J and J decided to stay with one dose to avoid the need to make 2 different vaccines for shots 1 and 2.

Now let's hope that the adenoviruses in these vaccines don't mutate and cause another pandemic. Just kidding. Sort of.

My wife got Moderna #2 yesterday.
Last night she sat up in the middle of the night - proclaimed loudly “the rules have changed!” - and went right back to sleeping.
Today while on the phone and multitasking on her laptop she poured (not spilled) tea onto her keyboard from a teapot.
I was trying to figure out who to report these side effects to - figured here was the best place.

You're not wrong. Sounds like she wasn't, either.

I saw a spokesman for an umbrella organization of the national nursing home industry on CNN say that the effectiveness of the vaccines to the first recipients is off the chart fantastic. Like going from 30,000 cases to almost zero. Great news.

^ Yeah, hospitalizations and deaths are falling even in areas where cases are rising in the overall population.

I got my first Pfizer shot yesterday. Crazy dreams last night. Sore arm today, but otherwise fine.

Soooo wish I could get the vax. Getting crabby about being so far down the line that I'm not even on the chart.

You should move to Gunnison Colorado, we are at 50% of the population receiving their first shot, and now they are rolling out the J&J shots this week it wont be long when we are at the point of no more takers...

All these idiot mouthbreathers are going to turn down the lifesaving J & J vaccine. They are bitching about it the same way here in this shithole state. I see this being my meal ticket to a shot. Go ahead wait for your luxury liner to come in. Meanwhile I'll be happy over here bobbing on the lifeboat with my favorite six pack and a bunch of other sane people instead of drowning in a pool of misplaced righteousness.
If the MRNA shots truly prove themselves superior I'll grab one of those later, or just get their boosters when they arrive.

If you tell one more person to move there and drive up real estate anymore, I'm gonna drive over there and...just kidding.
Wife and I both got our first doses of Moderna Tuesday (healthcare workers), the way Colorado is doing it now with going through local pharmacies was a piece of cake for me!

I feel you. I take heart in things like my parents video conferencing their second shot to me yesterday on my way out of work. They are stoked. My wife's parents also got their 2nd yesterday. I'm pretty healthy and 49 and hella good at wearing a double mask so I think a lot of other people do need to go first.
Wife and I both went on the chart as of today but that is pretty meaningless unless you're one of the chosen. Hunger games trying to actually get one. I think my only hope for the near term is through my employer, but they still know nothing, and they have no pull. A friend who works down the road in a manufacturing plant for an important company got scheduled for JJ early next week.

How is it so widely different from place to place, state to state, or county to county? Are places not getting proportional amounts of vaccine? I mean, if Gunnison County is 50% vaccinated (at least 1 dose) and we're at something like 20-25%, what accounts for the difference?
