I've heard/seen things that imply we'd need booster vaccines after six months. That seems to be less than accurate - seemingly, the Pfizer vaccine maintains 90+ percent active after six months ... it may be that it's too early to tell if it'll remain so longer.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, what we know is that we don't need boosters yet, six months out. We don't know about longer, because it hasn't been longer!

I just watched this person's Instagram story that talked about that, and a bunch of other covid stuff in a fun and useful way: [link]

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
The science nerd in me is all "So fucking cool that we're all learning about this together, in real time!" and the rest of me is all "Jesus H. Christ, we're all learning about this together, in real time!"

Woo, Dana!
I wonder how long I will keep randomly checking where the Ever Given is when I am looking for the vessels I'm waiting on.

There ought to be a word for having those feelings together, Tep

Yeah, I did a deep dive into variants and efficacy and blah blah blah to figure out if we can safely go back to a place with a buffet.
Official answer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What is even happening?
Happy fully vaccinated day to you and the Mister, Dana!
When I let myself think about it, I would get a wiggins from buffets/salad bars/etc. before Covid. I think Jesus himself would have to be the caterer, before I considered another one.

I think we will probably need boosters by then, because of variants of concern. I've been reading not-great stuff about the mRNA vaccines' ability to neutralize a couple of the variants (Brazilian and South African I think).
brenda, if you pop in, I hope shot 2 goes well for you.
Today's 2nd Moderna shot day for me, too. I've got to get ready to leave, because my vaccine site is only 15 miles away, but last time, it took me over an hour to get there.
Wish me monsters.*
* Immunity, with relatively few side effects (like just enough for me to have some confidence).

Our wings are not tired.
Happy fully vaccinated day to you and the Mister, Dana!
It is a most glorious thing! Yeah, I'd skip the buffet celebration though.
And I wish you monsters, Cindy!
Hmm, I've managed to forget what I had to say. Oh well.
