How the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 Vaccine Works - The New York Times
The New York Times articles for these two vaccines look the same.

Johnson & Johnson Vaccine

Both vaccines use a weakened virus to deliver DNA to cells. Since viruses are known to cause cancer (through DNA mutations), I prefer the mRNA approach of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

Second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination
My second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination yesterday has not caused any problems. I was concerned because a couple of people I know had a negative reaction to it. The first vaccination made my arm feel more sore than I thought it should, but only for a couple of days. With the second vaccination, I only had a little bit of soreness last night. It makes me wonder if the level of soreness is affected by how the person giving the injection does it.

Do Salt Lamps Work?
I found this video fascinating, and I have probably shared it before. When I hear people say that they want to add ions to air, I assume that this is a bad idea because ions are reactive chemicals. It is the equivalent of putting bleach into the air. According to the video, there are many ions in the air already, but compared to the total number of molecules, the number is not significant. The video also demonstrates that salt lamps don't really produce negative ions like they claim that they do.

I'm wondering if new variants are going to be a serious concern?
Fwd: Coronavirus mRNA Vaccine Safety and Efficacy
I think that this is a good video. As I suspected, the Messenger RNA clears from the system quickly. My only side effect was that for a day and a half my arm at the injection site was sorer than I thought it should be. However, this is an indication of something is happening.

Nearly 3 million Americans haven't gotten their second COVID-19 vaccination on time
They scheduled my second appointment three weeks after the first. The only reason I would not take it is if I were sick. I still potentially could catch COVID-19. However, I saw an article recently that claimed that the reported 50% protection from the first COVID vaccine is inaccurate. This statistic reportedly is only based on the first 2 weeks. They found that the third week had 90% protection. Good to know.

What's Up with Those Bird Beak Plague Masks?
I learned from this:
The word "quarantine" comes from the Italian word "quarenta" meaning forty because they would isolate bubonic plague victims for forty days.
I was well aware of the Miasma theory of disease, which was the dominant theory of disease for 1200 years up to 1850 and beyond when the germ theory disease was just starting and didn't become fully accepted until around 1890.
Indiana hopes to lower vaccine age next week
State leaders say they don't have enough vaccine yet to expand to those 60 and older. They hope to make that change next week. Right now, Hoosiers 65 and older are eligible.

FWD: Pfizer COVID Vaccine Side Effects | My Terrible COVID Vaccine Reaction
Apparently, a percentage of people have had temporary unpleasant side effects to the COVID vaccine. Several of my family members have taken both shots without problems, so I still want it.
Best wishes,
