Just a quick note, Gentle Readers. Refuge Farm is now 100% in compliance with whatever that stuff the Government insists is just fine for injection and won’t manipulate that genetic stuff that has happily coursed our veins the last sixty or seventy years. Moderna is the version administered and observed here.

Several fellow compliant citizens have reported on completion of the regimen. Mine is just internal at the moment, so initial effect is minimal. Reports from others who have completed both report the second vaccination has does have some consequences. A jab on Tuesday, according to reliable reporting, has produced a certain indeterminate fatigue. Another alert recipient reported a half-day spike in temperature on day two after the stab to over a hundred degrees. Others have been uniform in observation of soreness at the injection site and a spike in otherwise ordinary if inconvenient systemic aches and pains.

No one has complained overmuch, and all seem to be recovering nicely.

We talked about it in the morning production meeting. More than half on staff in GIG status have elected to paste the half-circle boasting of compliance on their social media pages. A smaller minority of salaried employees report quitting social media.

That is the Public Health Alert from Refuge Farm. The custodial staff was informed that yard signs are appropriate, if properly illuminated.

Cultural Sidenotes: First Vaccination. Precise timing and enforcement. Mostly civilian volunteer personnel. Crowded, with 15 minute post-jab observation. Some minor emotion displayed, quite orderly and crossed checked. Second Vaccination: Still insistent on timing for appointment, civilian volunteers augmented by a couple dozen Virginia Guard members. Crowd smaller. No waiting period after injection. In and out in 14 minutes.
