    - That's exactly what it is. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 13:26
- Just to clarify. Vaccines do nothing until you are infected. The effect we want is that it lessens the severity. -- (edited) - loosilu Aug 19, 13:14 13
  - Right, it's not about the vaccine, it's about not wearing a mask. -- nm - mara Aug 19, 13:22
  - i was pretty sure it also helped prevent infection? the virus just can't take hold (not for everyone, obvie.) -- nm - Andie Aug 19, 13:17 11
    - I mean, the virus has to get into you for the vaccine to do anything. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 13:25
    - I don't think so. Vaccines only start to work when the virus is detected in the body, and technically that's an infection. -- nm* - mara Aug 19, 13:20 9
      - Infection could mean positive test and no symptoms. That's why we're being told to still wear a mask. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 13:25
      - CDC: Studies show that COVID-19 vaccines are effective at keeping you from getting COVID-19. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine will also help keep you from - Andie Aug 19, 13:25 7
        
        You're both right. Vaccines teach the body to attack the virus more quickly than the body would if it encountered the virus on its own. So vaccinated -- (edited) - TWuG Aug 19, 13:33
        
        There's no phrasing like that on the page itself. Was it a link from something else? -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 13:28 5
        
        what I see on the page is "helping protect against severe disease and death from variants " - loosilu Aug 19, 13:29
        
        That is literally from the page. Under "EFFECTIVENESS, What we know" The second paragraph (first in white, not blue background) -- nm - Andie Aug 19, 13:29 3
        
        I see it now. I take issue with the phrasing. I think it's their attempt to keep it simple. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 13:30 2
        
        So, what they literally say is not what they mean? The CDC? -- nm - Andie Aug 19, 13:31 1
        
        The entire rest of the page says "protects you" rather than "keeps you from getting." This is real hair splitting. The fact isi - loosilu Aug 19, 13:35

I think I started filling out my own taxes.....uhh....in my late 20s? - ty97 Aug 19, 12:30 23
- How does anyone not like doing taxes? They're missing out. -- nm - Max Aug 19, 13:12 2
  - I hate it and want the IRS to do it for me and just send me a copy to review and approve. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 13:28
  - I miss it, so. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 13:13
- from the time i had a job - my parents made me do my own as a teenager (with them). I only started NOT doing it when i became self employed. - Andie Aug 19, 12:44

- I filed my own taxes from age 18-20. I have not done so since -- nm - decline Aug 19, 12:40
- Started when I was 23. Dad did it for the year I moved from undergrad to grad school I know because that's when I changed my state of residence - Baron and Barratry Aug 19, 12:40 1
  - The year I moved from Chicago to NYC was painful for me, doing partial year forms for both states. - ty97 Aug 19, 12:49
- I was 18 or 19. I would go to the library and get the forms to fill out at home. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 12:37 4
  - I'm my early 20s, I would get the forms at the library - ty97 Aug 19, 12:39 3
    - Ha! I don't know why I wanted to do them myself but I probably thought it made me an independent adult and at the time I wanted nothing more than to - Krusty Aug 19, 12:42 2
      - My Dad: "The tax forms are at the library and are due by April 15th. Good luck..." -- nm - decline Aug 19, 12:54 1

    - Well, taxes are pretty simple when you're a teenager. -- nm - mara Aug 19, 12:43 3
      - I was just thinking that as a teenager his parents would have handled things like this. I worked at 14 and certainly didn't file my own taxes then but - Krusty Aug 19, 12:53 2
        
        Ah. I started working at 16, and did them myself. Correctly or incorrectly, who knows. :-) -- nm - mara Aug 19, 12:55 1
        
        Interesting. It seems a few people started doing it themselves at 16 or so. My parents had a guy that came to the house and my mom would have him do - Krusty Aug 19, 12:58
