A seed of doubt has crept into my mind about vaccinations for Covid-19. I learned today that a cousin had the two vaccination shots but now has coronavirus. Maybe it is the British variant, I don't know. However, how safe can you feel from the vaccination if something like this happens. It's not just a story I read, it is someone in the family.
On the bright side, I was successful in baking a red velvet cake yesterday. Joan helped with mixing the ingredients and it was tricky putting on the icing I made to cover the cake. I gave a quarter of it to our neighbor. Pictures on the right side.
This is our 14th Easter living in Poland.
Happy Easter to all of you Thank you for reading my blog.
Ziarno wątpliwości wkradło się do mojego umysłu co do szczepień przeciwko Covid-19. Dowiedziałem się dzisiaj, że kuzyn miał dwa szczepienia, ale teraz ma koronawirusa. Może to wariant brytyjski, nie wiem. Jednak jak bezpiecznie możesz się poczuć po szczepieniu, jeśli coś takiego się wydarzy. To nie tylko historia, którą czytam, to ktoś z rodziny.
Z drugiej strony udało mi się wczoraj upiec czerwony aksamitny tort. Joan pomogła w mieszaniu składników, a nałożenie lukru, który zrobiłem na ciasto, było trudne. Jedną czwartą oddałem naszemu sąsiadowi. Zdjęcia po prawej stronie.
To nasza 14. Wielkanoc mieszkająca w Polsce.
Wesołych Świąt Wielkanocnych wszystkim dziękuję za przeczytanie mojego bloga.
Una semilla de duda se ha infiltrado en mi mente sobre las vacunas para Covid-19. Hoy me enteré de que un primo recibió las dos vacunas, pero ahora tiene coronavirus. Quizás sea la variante británica, no lo sé. Sin embargo, ¿qué tan seguro se puede sentir de la vacunación si sucede algo como esto? No es solo una historia que leo, es alguien de la familia.
En el lado positivo, ayer tuve éxito al hornear un pastel de terciopelo rojo. Joan ayudó a mezclar los ingredientes y fue complicado poner la guinda que hice para cubrir el pastel. Le di una cuarta parte a nuestro vecino. Imágenes en el lado derecho.
Esta es nuestra 14ª Semana Santa viviendo en Polonia.
8Felices Pascuas a todos. Gracias por leer mi blog.
Wesolego Alleluja i smacznego jajka!
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks great - does it taste as good?
All the current vaccines offered in the US have different efficacy against the virus (95%, 94%, 72%) but they all prevent serious cases, hospitalization and death at 100% (or so we are told!)
Astra Zeneca, which is your vaccine, offers 85% efficacy against Covid-19 and again, 100% against critical disease, hospitalization and death.
So don't loose faith, David, - especially not on Easter :-)
You can get cv19 if you're exposed during the first 14 days after the vaccination. Even after the first dose, and second, there's that 10% chance of getting it. But the chance of severe symptoms and hospitalization is reduced.
ReplyDeleteThe main job of the vaccine is to keep you out of the hospital. You might get the virus, but it shouldn't be a bad case that you would have to be hospitalized. That is why they want you to keep wearing a mask.
ReplyDeleteHere in Michigan our number have gone up considerably. Now that most senior citizens have been vaccinated it is people ages 20-50 that are being affected. You also have to remember the vaccine is only about 95% effective. However the flu vaccine is only about 75% effective.
My husband got the Moderna vaccine. I got Pfizer. He had no reaction from either shot. I had a reaction after my second shot. Just ache in the muscles, headache and fatigue, it only lasted one day. I slept all day, got up about midnight and had a piece of pizza and felt fine. My daughter had the Moderna vaccine and she felt nauseated after her second shot. My husband's sister and her husband got the Pfizer and had no reaction at all after the first or second shot. Everyone is different. My son got the virus and was sick for about 3 days. He told the doctor he was surprised that he wasn't that sick. The doctor said most people don't feel bad, they think they have a little cold and they go on as usual, that's why it spreads so much. You need to get both shots, you are a primary care giver. If you get sick who cares for Joan.
