To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues

She dropped out of high school due to an unplanned pregnancy but she opposes sex education.

Also: her pit bulls] were threatening their dogs. Boebert received a ticket for dog code violations.^[86]In 2015, she was cited for misdemeanor disorderly conduct at a music festival for telling officers that their arrest of a couple of underage drinkers was unconstitutional because the teenagers had not received Miranda warnings.^[87] As she was being handcuffed, according to deputies' reports, Boebert tried to twist away from police, saying that "she had friends at Fox News" and that the arrest would be "national news".^[87] She twice failed to appear in court on the charge

She sounds like a winner. The only thing she did that was smart was to marry a guy who worked in oil and gas. I don't think she overcame adversity, more like she found a sugar daddy.

Yeah she also gave a lot of people food poisoning:

In 2017, 80 people who had attended a Garfield County fair became ill from food poisoning. The Garfield County health department determined that pork sliders sold by unlicensed vendors Shooters Grill and Smokehouse 1776 were the source of the poisoning and that improper food safety practices were the cause

Jeez. I know that these people are constitutional purists, but they take it too far when they follow food hygiene practices that are 300 years out of date. I'm surprised these people and their followers like Cuntfish haven't suggested leeches as a Covid treatment.

Dude. One should not put more dumbass ideas to Cunts head. Hirudo medicinalis are protected species and asshats like him might endanger them.

Good point. And lord knows that he and his incel friends have already endangered far too many sheep and other livestock.

Is being cucked by your wife's boyfriend really making you this bitter, ML? You should probably move back to the US and cheer up a bit.

[mfcf13]

Oh, apparently Meth Raving also gets in on the livestock action with Cuntfish and the other incel conspiracy theorists.

Qué?

She's 63 and retired. She is fortunate enough to be able to minimize her interactions with/exposure to other people to an enormous degree. There is no reason to vaccinate people like her before frontline workers who are likely being exposed to the virus on a daily basis given it's prevalence in the US.

"The greatest good for the greatest number" shouldn't include exceptions for relatives. There are multiple paths to get to the eventual inoculation of the population.

IMO, someone like YetiMan/IAS should have the opportunity to get vaccinated before someone like my mom does.

[jono]

Thanks for clarifying for those of us who haven't met your mom, even though there's only a couple of us.

Oh snap

[Adolf Allerbush]

He was claiming that there is a correlation between the more COVID-vulnerable and those who don't have a photo ID. Like, the people some other people are always trying to keep away from the voting booth by requiring photo ID's because they know a certain population is less likely to have them. It's probably even true: if you were going to live without a photo ID it would be a lot easier as part of a multi-generational household. And statistically that means you're more at risk.

Thanks. He's really stretching there to make some political point.

100% agree. That said, I wouldn't necessarily conflate that with selfish boomers. It's just a numbers game.

no reason except covid hits old people > young people

[old goat]

On the one hand old people more likely to wind up in the hospital. OTOH young, working from work people more likely to spread the virus. What is clear, especially as mutations are emerging, is that getting as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible is critical. The limiting factor should be the ability of Moderna and Pfizer to make vaccine. Every dose should be out the door and into somebody within say 48 hours, and we should be mobilizing whatever resources we have to to make that happen.

BTW I'm getting real sick of the expression "into people's arms".

I agree with you there. What we desperately need right now is to get as many people vaxxed as quickly as possible. If we slow down the line to make sure it is ordered more perfectly, we screw ourselves over.

Amazingly enough Tri-Cities is leading Washington state in terms of number of vax given per day. Go figure.

With immediate symptoms. We are learning that in a lot of cases, having COVID leads to health problems that last months or years after infection. That's what we should be trying to prevent on as large a scale as possible. Vaccinating retired people who can easily isolate is absurd, and IMO unethical.

How many young(er) frontline workers will end up on disability, or with significantly impaired health/earning potential for the rest of their lives so that some geriatric who can sit home and have groceries delivered to their door can get a fucking jab? It's disgusting.

Oregon bumped teachers ahead of 65+ despite federal guidelines. It’s going to be a very bad look for teachers unions if they all get the shot and schools don’t reopen for another 6-9 months.

I’m fine with them saying that they think it is to risky and they won’t go back, but they need to collectively step back in line if that is the case.

[GoldMember]

And high school dropout... don't forget that gem.

Wonder who GM voted for?

Not Culp.

well up here when they get too old which is usually about the time we run out of room in the igloo, just put them old folks on an ice flow ... end of problem

Media in my area are really going nuts with the term "jab".

[The AD]

So how was she able to get the vaccine so soon? I know here in Washington the cutoff is 65 except for healthcare workers and first responders.

[KQ]

Helped an elderly neighbor sign up for the jab this morning. Couldn't have been easier. Appts opened up at 8am online. I got on and bing bam boom! it was done. One of the pros of living in a small town.

Friend just messaged me that she's heard westsiders are heading east to get jabbed for that very reason. I suppose it's all good. We need to get people vaxxed. Yes there are those who need it more than others but those same people NEED others to get vaxxed too so they don't have to be so isolated. There should be a priority but in the end we just need to get it done IMO.

100% agree with you on that front. The district we're in gave all the teachers the opportunity to be part of the 100% distance learning option (i.e., a traditional homeschooling program that is being managed by the district) or the hybrid option where they'd have to be back in person with kids. while I sympathize with their situation, there was an option to keep their job and work at home this entire year, so if they're being prioritized for the vaccine then they should go back.

I had to have this discussion with my girlfriend, she got vaccinated and offered to put me on the list if they have extra doses at the end of the day. I'm working at home and skiing and that's it right now, so it seems like a waste to vaccinate me. It's tempting so I can help some older family members with health issues more easily but vaccinating me does very little good for the community right now.

So how was she able to get the vaccine so soon? I know here in Washington the cutoff is 65 except for healthcare workers and first responders.

A roommate works in elderly care and they are considering offering vaccines to the households of the employees and not just the employees. He warned me about that because he's think about moving back into the house after living in a mother in law apartment with his parents for the last 9 months. Not sure if that plan is real or just under consideration.

At this point my thinking is get the jab if it's offered to you provided that offer is honest as in the case of use or lose it situations as they can't refreeze the vax once a bottle is open.
