Or until we nuke ourselves to death. Or climate change ourselves into the ground.

That's all he needs to know that the Vaccine is bad, and recommend that nobody gets it.

My mother in law in Florida works (worked?) in a nursing home and is over 70, she was supposed to get the vaccine this week. She quit her job instead and is looking for restaurant jobs that don't require the vaccine, because "the vaccine will kill me." She told my husband that on a call on Christmas. She's been woo crunchy for years and my father in law is deep in Qanon poo poo from the beginning.

Absolutely. Just trying to explain why nurses are such a treasure trove of Chud-think with regards to the vaccine. Also having a piece of paper is enough reasoning for medical professionals to think they're experts at everything. Example: https://generalaviationnews.com/2017/03/29/the-doctor-killer/

It’s unironically on the lower end of the pandemic scale. That is not a comforting thought. If we can’t get our poo poo together against a relative lightweight, how will we handle something much worse?

I got a ticket in a small town for doing 91 in a 55 (which is total bullshit, I drive a van. they don't go uphill that fast and he clocked me at the top of a hill) and managed to get out of it. When I went to the little driver's education thing (Alive at 25) because hey, it lowers your insurance bill and why not, the person putting it on was a nurse in an ER. She didn't have a mask. neither did the guy who was also there with me who was mandated to show up. they'd both had covid already. the nurse said it wasn't any big deal and that I was ridiculous for wanting to be away from them both and wearing a mask, but she said I was legally allowed to. She did circuits of the room and always made sure to get within a few inches of me when she did so. I kept moving away from her. It was kinda neat to spend four hours playing musical chairs while she coughed into her hands and handed us stuff (I did not touch the stuff).

From what Ive been hearing from my mom about her workplace, most of them are all iffy about getting the vaccines because of possible side effects. The company she works for wants everyone to get the jab, but dont want to say that anyone who doesn't get it will get in trouble.

They know just enough to believe that they are as smart as doctors and are more than willing to share their advice. ...Or they are the exact opposite and believe only the certain subset of healthcare bureaucrats who are lying their rear end off to stave off the defrauding the government charges, like ours did when they blatantly told until the end of July that "the masks might not work against COVID-19 so general public should not use them at all" (because we hosed hardcore and will run out if public starts to wear them, because our preparedness vaults are full of junk and expired masks). Our vaults more or less had 2 billion Halloween masks, because the department responsible for acquisitions did not care or understand what it was supposed to do. So the public was told to go without masks, because they do not work. Everywhere else they do work, but not here because we just said so and we are the government. Granted, this is much more uncommon and unlikely scenario, but our country still managed to do that. And nobody from the dept. of public health and safety got poo poo canned because of it, because by now its full of political appointments instead of healthcare, rescue service, engineering and armed service professionals.

The flu vaccine is mandatory unless you have a medical exemption. When I was hired I had to get a titer test for MMR and chicken pox. I think the covid vaccine isn't mandatory like the flu vaccine because it is under EUA by the FDA (and tons of staff would quit). I got a pfizer vaccine last week as a non clinical employee. It took less than two weeks for all front line clinical staff who wanted it to get it so at least half probably declined.

I do not think that this is unfair assessment, although healthcare and rescue services in general, also law enforcement in countries which do have high standards and national-level mandatory programs for these jobs, definitely requires a passion and calling to do that line of work. Its tedious, mostly boring daily routines which at times turn horrible experiences. Not to mention that they have strict hierarchies where it is too easy to get permanently stuck with an assignment which was way below of what you wanted.

I got a pfizer vaccine last week as a non clinical employee. It took less than two weeks for all front line clinical staff who wanted it to get it so at least half probably declined. Same experience here. When our hospital got the vaccine, only front-line healthcare workers were eligible to get it. Depending on remaining inventory after that, everyone else who was not front-line, but still worked at the hospital, was eligible for it. And finally after that, work-from-home employees were eligible if there was enough supply left over. Our hospital got the vaccine on the 13th. As a work-from-home computer toucher my eligibility opened up only 10 days later since so many employees who have direct contact with patients either didn't want the vaccine or didn't bother to schedule it. I got my first dose of it earlier this week and I already have my follow-up dose scheduled next month. Zugzwang posted:I gotta say, half of clinical staff declining the vaccine is pretty drat depressing. It's one thing for average folks to deny the situation since they don't see what's going on at hospitals, but clinical workers not wanting the vaccine is quite

I got the vaccine on 12/23 and was pretty heavily exposed on 12/27 and 28th to someone who has since tested positive. Currently quarantining with no symptoms yet. My understanding is that vaccine effectiveness isn't great until a couple weeks after, so I'm not very hopeful. I would say about half of the staff at my work declined the vaccine. I think a lot of people are still in the "wait and see" mindset (as stupid as that is), as opposed to "never gonna take it". I don't really see much problem with that yet because the demand is still way higher than the supply. The real question will be if those people decide to change their mind months down the road.

My mom works in a hospital but not in a direct role (administrative), and she got the shot yesterday. No idea when I’ll get it here but gently caress, that alone is good enough news. I’ve been forcing myself to not be terrified for her as my sister and I live thousands of miles in opposite directions, and if she got it, who can take care of her? But this feels like a slight weight removed, or at least just a string of hope.

A note I just received from my apartment complex. Perhaps y'all could NOT walk through all 240 apartments full of people right now??? They do this poo poo randomly so they can look for infractions to charge people money for, so of course they won't cancel or reschedule this. I'm strongly considering calling and saying I've been exposed the day before, so they don't come through my apartment covered in germs.

We called them and after some back and forth they agreed to only have ONE person instead of the three that it normally is come through and they'll make sure they wear a mask and booties. When the day came for the inspection the maintenance guy just knocked on our door and gave me some batteries and said "yeah we don't need to come in just change the batteries in your smoke detectors" and that was it. It definitely feels like a monumentally stupid thing to do during a pandemic.
