Maybe, I want to know if this vaccine's working.

If the vaccine is working, would you get it at all? How would you know that the vaccine worked?

We do know it at least provokes the correct immune response. Mild symptoms could mean anything really.
Reports of symptoms post-vaccination are certainly consistent with my experience so I think it's likely, although by no means certain, that I am in the test group. Of course there is an easy way to find out...Unless of course it didn't work or your in the control group.

Yeah but don't do it.
I know it's just chat on a forum but does taking part in the study change your attitude or behaviour?

Nah, not as far as I'm aware. Still acting exactly the same as I was before to the best of my knowledge. I'm slightly optimistic that there's a chance that I may have been successfully vaccinated against this virus but there's a >50% change that I haven't. Certainly my family, loved ones, most of my colleagues and everybody else that I come into contact with haven't so I'm not taking any risks. Which of course makes efficacy testing kind of difficult.
Much better, thanks, although rather drained. The fever broke around midday but I've got a bunch of random aches all over.
About to take my covid home test, for all the good it's going to do me I should just stick it up my nose
99% in a supermarket today wearing coverings. The one exception had a visor. 90% of staff rather surprisingly. The social distancing is going though, to many impatient knobbers cutting and barging in where they'd wait a few seconds before.
I've moaned about them before and i'm going to do it again! The teaching unions are at it again,telling the government,teachers,parents and pupils that it's not safe to go back,not even in September! Nice isn't it when they're well funded by the taxpayer,so why would they want to go back when they're getting 100% of their wages for doing bugger all! IF the schools do reopen in September we'll have had nearly 6 months of this! Are teachers keeping out of supermarkets or not going on holiday to avoid C19? No they are not,so why can't they get back to doing what they are well paid to do and that's teach. The police must be sick of it, as these brats being off is leading to increased yobbery! Not to mention the parents who're having to either find child minders for the younger children,or put up with anti-social behaviour at home off the older ones! Teachers,you've had your nice long holiday,please at least go back in September.....after another 6 weeks of taxpayer funded holidays!!
You need some serious education, my son and his wife both teachers have been into work everyday.
Nah, their inability to tear themselves from their screen to do half an hour of reading, mathematics or even play is obviously the teachers fault.

New Jersey is introducing a bill for the State's schools that would require all districts to only offer online instruction and no in class education for the coming school year. I'm all for that bill being passed. Let's face it. Adults can't even figure out how to properly social distance yet they expect kindergarteners to do it?

That's a tough one because it assumes all children have a reliable internet connection, and more importantly, a place to learn and competent support from home.
