It's been two weeks since my second vaccination, so we celebrated our immunity by eating *inside* a restaurant for the first time in a long time. It was weird but also amazing.

@kyle I just rejoined the gym today and exercised indoors with no mask. It felt great!

@Columbkille @kyle why do you both want to kill those around you?

@benis @Columbkille @kyle That's a remarkable note. I'll write it down to express the level of FUD spreading around.

@ruff @Columbkille @benis I'm specifically talking about recent real-world studies on efficacy of Moderna and Pfizer (these studies I believe were part of what changed recent CDC guidance). My understanding is that while other vaccines also show some level of protection against transmission, it's not as high.

@kyle @ruff @benis I assume we're being trolled.

At this point vaccines are widely available where I live, so the rate of spread is low and dropping and the cost-benefit balance is to reopen. If you are still waiting, that sucks but have patience it will end eventually.

@Columbkille @kyle @ruff it's only half trolling, the other half is denouncing the abundant dishonest communication over literally everything this past year and a half

@benis @Columbkille @kyle Ah, ok, i'm with you
