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

I'm not trying to shame anyone, just curious how a "healthy" high school senior would receive the vaccine so early in the process.

all first responders in my county of response are required to get vaccinated as i understand it. the opportunity presented itself and i took it. at the time i signed up, my dad was undergoing radiation treatment that would have ended or been put on hold had he gotten the virus. it felt like the right thing to do all around. of course, my dad got covid a few weeks after treatment ended and was promptly given an antibody infusion but still.

My suggestions:
1) If you're offered a shot take it.
2) Don't post about it on social media
3) Definitely don't post pictures of yourself at a crowded bar
4) Antisocial media like TGR is ok.

Got it and good luck at Montana State.

Where I live posting about it alienates your local friends for an entirely different reason. Didn't everyone know that they never tested this in animals and it can't be trusted? No chiropractor experts around you?

I give it three months before we're openly battling the anti-vaxers just to maintain rates.

Those fucking witchdoctors. Goddam them.

Maybe this should have gone in the "Meanwhile in Florida" thread....

I'm in the same boat. Ms Boissal is vaccinated along with every one of our friends (the few who aren't in healthcare got creative). I'll be sitting in the corner for the next 6 months while they use 6' sticks to make sure I don't approach.

Oh good, I'm not the only one.

I’m with you too. Most of our friends are in medicine, and are vaxed. My wife does home health, and has been in the homes of known COVID patients. She then comes home to me. I have a heart condition, a risk factor. I was originally considered an essential worker, because I do payrolls, but that designation isn’t in my county’s vax registration system. So despite multiple things that put me at risk, I’m a long ways from a Fauchi Ouchie.

I’m in this weird limbo where my risks are high, but I don’t qualify.

HR is now high risk?

We're fucked.

Hah, no, not the HR part. The “my wife has known exposures and brings it home to me” part, and my shitty heart.

Yep, that was part of the criteria when considering lockdowns last spring. It put me in that category, allowing me to drive around to deliver pay packets when others were asked to stay home. That designation seems to have disappeared.

Drive around delivering pay packets?

Are you posting from 1957?

Many of my clients are. Change is hard.

My main clients get it, and are all paper free. But older clients are not, and insist on writing checks for APs, mailing paper invoices, paper paychecks. Absurd, but they pay me.

If you can't figure out how you don't need to be delivered your paycheck, or are still involved in delivering them.

You don't really get to argue about when you get a vaccine.

For example goldmember's comment on North idaho residents going into Spokane for a vaccine. It sorta makes sense, that part of Idaho is in Spokane's influence area. If we'd coordinated about that I'd have no problem with it. But instead that's a case of an idahoan essentially stealing a vaccine from a Washington resident.

Just like they stole hospital beds from WA residents during their surge. Idaho folk sure are an independent bunch.

I probably talk to 20 seniors a day. Mostly lower income. I’m telling them to all sign up online, but none of them have computers.

This is going to look like Sunday brunch at first watch. Old people stuck waiting around while the young folks reserve through apps while still at home.

We need places you can just pull up to, starting with the eldest.

Meanwhile, California is changing its tiers again. Promoting disabled people and people with unspecified health conditions. This is getting more ridiculous by the day. Not that there's anything wrong with putting them higher but every time some group squawks the state changes the rules, while vaccines sit in the freezer. And then some other group who was passed over squawks and it starts all over again.
California is saying that the disabled/health condition group will have to get the shots from their doctors, which makes sense because that's who knows their medical conditions. But now they're squawking about that--they want to be able to go anywhere for the shot, which means now everyone will claim to have a disability, which you're not allowed to ask about. Idaho looking better by the day.

Holy shit it's hard to get a vaccine. I've been listening to my wife trying to get her mom signed up and there are apps and codes and stuff that the older generation just don't understand. It's been the same battle getting one for my mom. These 70+ year olds need to be able to call a number and get their vaccine appointment.

I'm lucky because both my parents my in-laws are with it enough to figure this shit out and my wife's grandmother is in an assisted living facility.

I'm pouring one out for you guys who are trying to tell your 80 year old parents who don't wear their hearing aids how to navigate some shortly thrown-together web site.

Idaho Senate Advances Proposal To Constitutionally Ban Cannabis In The State

Funny how "we want the goverment out of our way so we can live our lives" does not translate to allowing people to use cannabis.

Seems like a great opportunity for some kind of pilot program connecting tech-savvy high school seniors with buddy elderly for signup assistance. HS Seniors live on their phones and usually need [should be involved in] community service.
