An update on what I'm seeing with COVID vaccines. My sister has had TWO different nurses tell her they are not getting the vaccine because of fertility concerns and recommend that she not get it either. I personally know another nurse who won't get it. All doctors I know are encouraging everyone to be vaccinated and are themselves getting it. My African American coworkers are avoiding the vaccine, but my white coworkers are scrambling for it. I also seem to have a ton of acquaintances in their 30s and 40s--not working in healthcare or education--somehow jumping the line and getting shots.

If there are eventually fertility effects or other health issues, it will be fascinating to see how this shakes out demographically. It's like a big experiment with race and class.
