For sure, I will.

Holy crap, Aims. That's amazing. Your daughter is a life-saver. So many hugs for her. And for you!
Aims, my love! It is so good to see you here, and in the world! You and Em can feel the love because it is being sent in abundance.
Today is the birthday of the beloved but not seen often enough vw bug. I hope she is being pampered appropriately by those around her. Have to pop over to FB to send wishes where she is more likely to find them.
Aims, Em obviously inherited the rockstar gene from her amazing mother. I'm so relieved that you are home and doing well. All sorts of good ~ma continues to be headed your way.
Aims! So good to see your pixels! And glad your support network is coming through for you
Aimee, how lovely to see you! You and your Em are amazing, and I'm so glad you're home, doing well, and have a good team of medical professionals on your side. All the love to you.
AIMS!! You sound amazing.
OK, this is a real question -- I'm not panicking or anything even close to it, but -- I got Pfizer, which I'm reading is less effective against getting the Delta variant, though still likely keeps it from killing you. I'm good with that, and I will be masking up more again.
Here's the question: does doubling up and seeking out the Moderna vax now have any validity to it as further protection? Or is that just dumb and showing a lack of understanding of how vaxes work? I don't really know where to find info. on that or if it's even worth pursuing. Thoughts?
ETA: Well, actually, I have an appt. with a new PCP next week, so I can ask her, of course. Just curious if I'm alone in wondering.
From what I've seen - from my retired doctor father, who is interested - if you got Pfizer or Moderna it's unlikely that getting a different shot will increase effectiveness. If you got Johnson & Johnson, which is a different technology, and less effective in general, getting one dose of Pfizer/Moderna might help overall. This isn't yet an official or approved protocol, though, so it's not clear you could get a doctor to do it (unless you lied). (mr. flea had J&J, which is why we wonder/worry. Everyone else in my family got Pfizer.)
Also, the study in Israel about the Pfizer vaccine was with a very small study group, which means their results should be taken with a grain of salt. I wouldn't panic yet. ND and I are also House Pfizer.
