Will You Take The Vaccine?

[printer]

lol and decades later we find out that our grandparents were all mostly full of shit about whatever they were told as kids about their heritage with all these DNA tests.


This is why I try to remember that the overall demographic that the Republicans legislate for is the Wealthy White Heterosexual Males.

So Wealthy White Heterosexual Males still have about half of the things they can be tricked into caring about to associate with the Republican party.

The heritage thing is not really in doubt. Backwoods peasants, none went more than 40 miles from where they were born, that was until the war. Actually fifty years later you find out this uncle and aunt had a rushed wedding, this one was a little 'wild' shall we say, among other things. The DNA tests are at best a rough guess. Each has its own weighing curves and approximations. I do recall one lecture I heard where some children had markers from some far off land that they could not understand until an elder brought up the foreign fishing boats that came to the area to fish.

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to your wife. Dealing with that through this epidemic must be a real struggle. Last year was awful for everybody but your story is much worse. Hopefully you'll be able to see your wife regularly soon.

Thanks for heartfelt reply man, She got over the cancer 10 yrs ago,but chemo fks you up in other ways(nerve endings etc) and she was never really the same, and I always came home from work w/anxiety to see if she's ok. I'm almost 56 and she 's older than me so I KNEW this day was coming and dreaded even considering it. But it's here now and all I can do is soldier on, this type of grief seems to infuse me w/energy to overcome and I have dropped about 1o lbs and am getting kind of ripped w/my 6 day exercise routine,my physical job, and doing the things that she helped with, so I'm just burning colories like a MF, not to mention it's also GROW season to boot. I believe some poor folks have been affected by the pandemic w/magnitudes of more grief than I, some of the stories of it ripping through families are just horrific.ccguns

Back to the vaccine.

I had my first shot.

Side effects:

1. Sore shoulder at injection site the next morning for a couple hours.

2. No noticeable side effects. Non existent reaction to the vaccine.

End of story.

I'll be back on June 8 2021 for the second shot.

If there are boosters for new variants in the future I will get them.

Stay healthy my friends.

It's good to hear about your coping strategy. With two teenagers and two aged mothers under our care, my wife and I can always benefit from hearing how other people deal with similar stress.

For me, gardening and cooking is a good outlet. I'm harvesting fava beans today. I put the seed in the ground in October, and seven months later, they are ready, so it's a small thing but a personal victory.

I'll second the sore arm. About the same as the last flu shot I got. You know what blows my mind about the anti covid vaccine folks? I'd be willing to bet the majority of them have had a polio, measles, chicken pox, and diptheria (whooping cough) vaccines as children in order to attend public school. Where is the logic in their manner of thinking at this stage of their life to do a 180 and refuse the covid vaccine? Even Trump himself has voiced support for the vaccine if for no other reason than to lavish praise upon himself for operation warp speed. Yet a poll I saw yesterday indicated 63% of self identified republicans say they will not get the vaccine. I'd love to ask each one of them why just to hear the bizarre half witted answers they might provide.

This is one of the finest examples of ignorance I have ever witnessed in my life. This was related to the mask mandate in palm beach county, florida:

You can almost see the stupidity oozing from these folk's eyeballs. Reason number 101 why I will never visit florida.

Same here. The second shot (Pfizer) wasn't very dramatic for me either. Sore arm and I had the sniffles for a day.

It's not a big deal. Antivaxxers be damned.

I apologize. That wasn't the exact video I thought it was. This is the one:

What a funny clip. From the big hair on display at the TV news station to that woman in red lecturing nonsense to the panel, it seemed surreal.

She angrily points at the commissioners saying:

"You literally cannot mandate somebody to wear a mask knowing that the mask is killing people"

That right there was high anxiety on display

That woman reminded me of Mel Brooks in this scene:

Got the first Pfizer shot. Same here, sore shoulder nothing else. Second shot 01June.

Mom and Dad not going to get a shot for reasons not worth repeating. Both of them are isolated for 10 days with covid right now.

Mom just had cancer surgery seven months ago, has diabetes, all the typical aging issues and borderline with dementia/alzheimers symptoms.

Puzzles me why they would take the risks.

Yep, Canadians were going south for vaccines, but not so much any more. Others will take advantage of the ignorant and stupid, it has always been that way. They is take'n over and they is take'n vaccines from those too stupid to take them. Joe will have to keep a reserve for those stupid red states and the inevitable outbreaks in them. The new variants are much more contagious than the original strain and many red states have dropped masks and distancing.

i won't say this is a nice opinion...but it is an honest one....FUCK the people who won't get vaccinated. let the ignorant assholes get covid and die, just that many less fucknuts making life suck for the rest of us. the only bad part of it that i can see is that they may infect someone with lower resistance, or those with other medical problems that make them more susceptible. maybe we can just wall off Kansas or Wyoming like George Carlin suggested, and keep all the trumptard conspiracy theorists locked up where they can't hut anyone but themselves. i'd suggest televising it, but most of the people who would watch this shit will already be in Kansas or Wyoming...

You forget that the unprotected have a greater chance of fermenting a new variant. Months ago there was silly talk about the virus mutating to a less dangerous form by the anti-vax bunch. Sadly not the case.

COVID vaccine news: Lotteries in NY, Maryland; UVA student vaccination (usatoday.com)

New York, Maryland announce vaccine lotteries; University of Virginia latest to require student vaccinations: Latest COVID-19 updates

Health authorities are continuing to offer incentives for residents to get the COVID-19 vaccine as U.S. vaccination rates slow, requiring agencies to work harder to get shots in arms.

The latest efforts are lotteries in New York and Maryland for vaccinated residents, following a similar program in Ohio where vaccinated residents are eligible for $1 million prizes and college scholarships.

On Thursday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo introduced the $5 million "Vax and Scratch" program, which offers lottery scratch tickets to anyone who gets a COVID-19 vaccine at select state-run vaccination sites next week.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan also announced a "$2 million Vax Cash promotion". Every Marylander 18 and over who gets vaccinated will be entered into a daily drawing to win $40,000 from the Maryland State Lottery — culminating in a $400,000 drawing on July 4.

"If you've not been vaccinated yet, the sooner you do so, the sooner you get your shot, the more lottery drawings you will be eligible for," the governor said.

Meanwhile, the University of Virginia and Indiana University are joining a growing list of universities requiring vaccinations. At least 389 colleges across that country have required vaccinations for at least some students or faculty, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.

IU students, faculty and staff will be required to get vaccinated to return to campus in fall 2021, the university said Friday. First doses are required by July 1 while those returning to campus must be fully vaccinated — including two weeks after the final dose — by Aug. 15 or before they arrive on campus.

UVA students will be required to provide proof of vaccination by July 1 but can request medical or religious exemption to the requirement, according to a Thursday statement.

Vaccination for employees is "strongly encouraged" but not yet required, the statement said. University leaders said they will monitor employee vaccination rates and consult with public health experts as they consider whether to require employees to get vaccinated at a later date.

Get a shot, get a scratch off ticket.

Throw in a pack of cigs and a mountain dew and I'm in.

Gonna be pissed if my scratcher says FREE SHOT
