Glad you're not having too much trouble with the after effects. For me it was like post chemo. Just had third shot of Moderna recently. I have chemo tomorrow & will need to plan for the flu shot before the next round. I saw a report that said Moderna is working on a combination vaccine booster/flu shot. Won't have it for this year but most likely next.
So tired of the morons comparing a vaccine passport to the Nazis using the Star of David to identify Jews.
I mean really? So fucking insensitive and stupid.
THERE IS NO COMPARISON WHATSOEVER!
^ That comment in the tweet for the win.
I got into it with a couple yahoo’s tossing around this bullshit. These fuckers hate it when you call out fascist tactics for what they are, but preventative health measures in the midst of a deadly pandemic? Oh, well then it’s “just like what Hitler did” with these impossible fucking morons
Was reading about past pandemics that affected the US yesterday, specifically in regards to vaccines. There were two in the 50s and 60s that had vaccines created fairly quickly after they began (quicker than the Covid vaccine at least), which not only surprised me, but made me even more angry at the people who say the vaccine was created "too quickly" to be trusted.
New restrictions in Alberta. We were wide open too quick...
"It is clear now that we were wrong, and for that I apologize." - Jason Kenney. This party is clearly oblivious to reality, it's almost like we have the lowest vaccination rate in the country.
"Gotta stick it to that Trudeau, giddy up!"
(Also, don't have IEMs in when the Alberta Emergency Alert goes off. My right ear hates me.)
Yeah....I remember when he was announcing the re-opening, everyone else in the country was all like "WTF???" and he was just like "We're the first, but the other provinces will be following our lead soon"
He was doing more than opening wide open too quickly, he had also cancelled testing unless you were being hospitalized and removed isolation requirements for people who had symptomatic confirmed contact.
At least he's backtracking though, with his desire to eliminate the testing I was concerned that he was going to pretend it wasn't a problem while his hospitals were collapsing like some american governors are.
The way Dr Kinshaw talked when they started all this, it's as if they believed that they had achieved heard immunity when it's extremely clear that nobody's there yet.
From now on "I was wrong, and for that I apologize." "Reasonable effort was made." and "That's Alberta bashing." is being worked into my daily conversation.
"Sure you loaned me $100, but $8.33 sense is reasonable effort to pay you back."
The story mentioned is linked below as well as the video.
Inside an Ontario ICU where the COVID-19 patients are largely young, and all unvaccinated

I sent the original to my friends mother, who is very anti-vax. She blocked me.
worse.
no social distancing in some classes. kids constantly lowering their masks while standing close to others. teachers walking around with no masks on. no desk shields for every student (we ran out and who knows when the next shipment is coming) , sanitizer containers empty, school busses overcrowded. I know of at least 6 schools in the district with cases already (with not all parents in that class even being made aware...horrible) . I am SURE there are cases in my school with sick kids...heck just the past two days I've had kids complaining of sore throats, headaches, and one frequently sneezing. Parents don't want them to get tested or keep them home.
Reading about these tourists from Texas who assaulted a hostess at a Manhattan restaurant because they were asked to show proof of vaccination. She went to the hospital. The three women who assaulted her will likely call their vacation short and skip town. The restaurant would have faced a 1k fine for violating the rules.
so… not sure what should be done about that, but maybe “get the fuck over it” isn’t going to really do it for her
This is so damn sad

Premier Photo-Op gets more backlash.
So, uh, get the fuck over it.
You have yet to actually talk about anything else related to the discussion about what to do when people violate safety protocols in an aggressive way, let alone beat people up because they tried to comply with them. Y'know, the entire rest of the part of my post that you ignored.

You're not the only one ambivalent and blase about how we handle people aggressively getting in people's shit for complying with health restrictions. Get over yourself. And you really think that was a "dig" at YOU!? You're the one who accused me of having a mental breakdown, of maybe being psychotic. And now you think I'm attacking you for pointing out an example where the solution isn't, as you said, getting the fuck over it? Holy shit
But hey, if you have nothing to say about the related news story I referenced, that doesn't mean it isn't important, or that it's not ALL OVER THE NEWS.

Why would you utter the phrase “get the fuck over it” verbatim if it wasn’t in my reference to your hysteria breakdown over people’s behavior and Covid-19 in the Trump thread prior? It stuck in your craw and it’s fine to admit if it was, I was pissed off when I read that insane post about killing people with fire arms by a police force. Excuse me for questioning your mental space.
What is there to say? It’s horrible, people shouldn’t behave that way but what’s getting anger ridden on a news forum for a goddamn music band online gonna really do to help your life? Did you know the victim? Her family? Is this in your community? Is this affecting your life personally? I don’t get the point getting this fucking enraged is really. Every single Trump and Covid post from you is a melt down and blame game of people who are dogshit.
