Thoughts on the delta variant and the possible need for a third booster shot? Do you feel safe going out again?

Delta is cool, but I can’t wait for the Epsilon variant to come out! Should be even bigger!

I personally feel safe, Im at an age and state of health to where I’d have most likely been fine without the vaccine and should still be fine with the published protection rates you get with the vaccines.

BUT this isn’t about me personally, I could still get it and still give it to other people. The more it spreads through vaccinated people to other vaccinated or unvaccinated people the likelier it is to change again into something that my or other’s vaccines wouldn’t protect against as effectively.

So I do feel “safe”, but I am worried.

Worried but feel safe as long as I'm wearing a mask. It's not really effective at preventing me from getting it but a mask plus the Pfizer vaccine seems to be enough to prevent me from getting it and thus spreading it by accident.

Talk to me in a month when the south and Midwest are pushing record case numbers and I may sing a different tune. Vaccines overall are useless unless enough people get them as we're probably about to experience as a nation.

Feel totally safe and don’t have any hesitations. I’ve only been wearing the mask when absolutely necessary and mandated. Been totally fine. Vaccines work - get yours.

I am with D1 - no issues whatsoever.

I feel safe, but I’d likely get a booster shot if they offer it.

like

Same. I’m Pfizer fully vaccinated, but would definitely get a booster if offered. I still wear a mask in public (haven’t had a cold for over a year and want to keep pushing that track record).

like

I don't. I had the Moderna vaccine, which doesn't seem to have published its efficacy report against the variant. I have a young kid, who hasn't been vaccinated either.

I feel safe. Had a physical last month and the doctor confirmed, via blood test, that my body has antibodies to the virus (because of the shot), proving that it worked for me. If you have a doubt, get a physical. They can test for antibodies from the vaccine.

I’m hoping a better written resume will help target algorithms to get my resume viewed for other roles.
