Thanks for your interest Sue.

Weighing risk v benefit, I opted out of the small bd party with fully vaccinated me and 3 unvaccinated ladies. The risks, first off, concern my apprehension that I am not immune to covid despite the 2 doses of Pfeifer I had in February. It took 3 pneumonia 23 vaccinations (the original one) for my body to create the minimum of 9 antibodies required. I was told that if I still didn't have the minimum after the 3d shot I would need to have infusions. Apparently my body is not good at creating antibodies.

Then, there's the fact that the vaccine is "only" 90% effective. I realize that's a lot for a vaccine but without an antibody test how do I know that I'm not in the 10% breakthrough crowd?

Also, my resistance to infection is lacking. I had my first in person doctor's appointment in 15 months recently and came down with an ear infection. Everyone was masked and the spirometry test was given in a separate room by a tech in full ppp gear with 30 minutes between patients for disinfecting. Yet I caught an infection which fortunately did not go to my lungs but stayed in my ear and throat.

We think I got it either from the wheelchair or the valet
parker because we didn't purell.

The benefit if the celebration was us 3 having cake in honor of my bf on her bd. She said she didn't care but I think she did. This bd is bothering her and she keeps saying that she is OLD and I wish I felt better about having her sil and niece here. Lovely people but unvaccinated.

Other events are planned for her birthday. I hope to be able to do something special for her this summer.
