That may be true, doesn't change the fact that what the op said was a mis-representation of what was said in the interview.

I’m summary the mask mandate will not change in the face of delta. Fauci personally believes that vaccinated people do need masks by his own words and actions.
If you are vaccinated turn off the delta fear mongering and go enjoy your life.
If you are not vaccinated get ready it’s coming for you.

That may be your opinion, but it is not Fauci's. In that interview he says the CDC guidance will stand "for now", meaning it could change.
In another recent interview he said:
"The CDC continually monitors the situation and I'm sure would remain flexible, that if any changes are warranted based on the evolving situation, they would then make a change in their recommendation. But right now, it doesn't look that way," Fauci said in an interview Wednesday on CBSN. "It looks like they're going to continue to stay by their original recommendation."
I’ll tell my 11 year old.
Get your poking stick back out kid. Anyone comes close enough to share their gross lung air with you, poke them hard.
Yes it is your job to keep your kid safe.
I’ll add to this because I know it’s sounds mean but honestly we don’t have data on how effective masks are with delta.
Maybe even if everyone is masked it still spreads like crazy because it’s that contagious.
If my kid wasn’t vaccinated they would not be leaving the house, mask mandate or not, until we have actual data.

Thanks for the perspective! Cases (even among the vaccinated) aren't really important. What is important is people getting severe, life threatening illness.
Off topic, can you really hear a sonic boom at WDW from a rocket launch? I saw a Space Shuttle launch as I was walking out of Universal Studios a while ago and there was no sound. I did hear a sonic boom that rattled the windows at my house in South Florida when a Space Shuttle passed overhead on the way to land at KSC.

I need to go back and look but it was based on real time numbers with efficacy. The math was showing it needed more.
Thanks and was just curious since i had received notification the 2nd week of June about expiration dates (was on vacation when contacted) and wondered if yours had too. They are mailing out for those who have expired.
Personally with the data given I would say you did get it much more mild than would have otherwise. Not surprised Pfizer won't let you know what you had. Though really Delta variant seems to not be understood well enough as some say it only seems more transmissible, not producing worse outcomes. I'm sure time will tell.
But really glad you are okay and it wasn't any worse than it was. I've watched friends go through without vaccines and they had some truly very scary outcomes. A few moderate labeled by doctors even admitted for a week at a time. Severe being needing more than a little extra help (like vents). One friend even had one dose but, fell ill 1 day later. At least most lived... though some did not.

Lest you think I am making fun of you given how people are using smileys to troll others here, I genuinely found this funny as I didn't think you were being serious. If you were I apologize.
Some official or official adjacent reference would be super helpful. I’m not even sure how someone would schedule a single mRNA shot after the J&J without lying along the way somewhere. At minimum about having the first or skipping the second. Some real plan would be helpful.

If J&J is not a legit vaccine they shouldn’t be giving it out. Are they waiting to use them all up so they don’t waste money?
You should see the kid with the stick. It’s very effective. A little to long for a hard poke, but maintains distance well.
There has been so little reporting on it lately that it’s hard to tell. Presumably because so relative few doses were used.
It was clearly legit against the variant it was tested against. I don’t regret getting it.
The question is, how does it hold up against the current variant? We need that answer, not just a guess.
The few stories or tweets suggesting getting 1 mRNA to go with it are just guesses. Even if they’re not going to do a full study on it, some limited testing and results would be nice. Is even 1 needed? If yes, is 1 enough or should it be 2? Did the variant actually escape it or is it just less effective a lot? Or it’s none of those and just the perception because it was 1 shot.

I get that they are rushing everything and things change but it bugs me when they originally said “don’t choose your vaccine take the first one that is offered to you” and now that might not have been the best advice.

It’s a legit vaccine. The one and done nature made it attractive to some people. There are also some people who didn’t want the Pfizer/Moderna shots due to the mRNA technology being unproven and in rarer cases due to potential for allergic reactions to them. Whether people think that’s a valid opinion or not is irrelevant, the point is someone getting the JnJ vaccine is better than them getting nothing for sure. The efficacy of the JnJ vaccine is still much higher than most people dreamed was possible before the trials were complete. Remember the government threshold was originally set at 50% efficacy to gain EUA.

If they turn around and reccomend everyone who got j&j should get Pfizer and moderna as well I’m not so sure....

Every person who got a first shot of Pfizer and Moderna had to get a second shot.

I'm viewing it differently than you. It's a single dose vaccine for starters that does well against Alpha. I view it as a booster for other variants.
Agreed! Best i find now is that the articles I read were not really studied well enough. I apologize for misunderstanding what I read. Have family in town and well... yeah hadn't seen them in 1.5 years...
Booster may be needed for J&J shot as Delta variant spreads; some experts already taking them
Infectious disease experts are weighing the need for booster shots of the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA-based vaccines for Americans who received Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose vaccine du…

We said at WDW we wanted a light saber to swing around.... back off you people! Keep 6 feet awayYou should see the kid with the stick. It’s very effective. A little to long for a hard poke, but maintains distance well.
Then we realized we'd tire of carrying them and gave up.

Getting a second shot of mRNA after J&J, if that becomes the guidance, does not mean the vaccine is bad. Just as there are studies underway suggesting that mixing AstraZeneca with mRNA as the second does offers improved protection.
There has also been new information about potential benefits of extending the period between doses for different vaccines. All of these vaccines are very new and we're still learning how to best utilize them.
J&J is also great for hard to reach people. Someone who is transient for example and might not come in for a second dose and can't be easily tracked down, J&J gets them fully vaccinated.
