Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

Herd immunity? Never heard of it.

It’s cool that we’re a year into this and we’re rehashing last March’s argument that you shouldn’t wear a mask but applying it to a disastrous rollout where thousands of vaccines have literally been thrown away because the “right” recipients weren’t available at the time.

I can't really tell from the shitpost style of those tweets, but there's been some scandals with healthcare execs jumping the queue for them and their families, which is dirty as gently caress.

Hospitals have also been doing calls for anyone with an arm to come by and get stuck because they've got a batch thawed and need to get it put in people, and if that"s what they're talking about then yeah, that's a stupid take.

They are talking about the latter.

I read an article about how pharmacies and hospitals were throwing doses out because they didn't have enough people in the current tier to give it to. So I called my local Rite-aid pharmacy and asked them if I could possibly just hang around the store and if someone doesn't show up for their appointment could I get their dose? And they said that they were keeping a waiting list to call people to come in should that happen. It wasn't/isn't Rite-aid official policy but the pharmacy manager thought it was dumb to waste doses and started doing it themselves to prevent it. So I put my husband and I down and we got called 5 days later. We had to drop everything and go immediately cause at that point I think the dose was only good for another 2 hours, but that's how we got our first shot even though we're not in the current tiers. I feel a little bit guilty, like we cut in line, but also I don't. I didn't lie about anything, I just prevented waste. It's been a little difficult getting the 2nd shot scheduled because none of the official sites will let us since we're not in the current tier. But the Rite-aid guys told me they have their own vaccine management system that will call us about 2 days before our next shot is due to schedule something. And then I saw on our County health site that they have 2nd shot clinics once a week for anyone who needs to get their second shot so I think we'll be okay.

Anyhow, call your local pharmacies and see if they have a wait list. Might be faster than hoping the government gets it's poo poo together.

If the issue was not enough vaccines to go around, paying money to jump in front of like, healthcare workers or immunocompromised people is p. lovely. And I think there were reports of that happening in some places.

The "hang out near the CVS in case some batches are about to expire" thing is absolutely very smart cool and good.

It's not clear to me from the tweet which one they're talking about.

If you've never seen this blog, Crazy Days and Nights, it's so notorious for its accuracy that it's been threatened with lawsuits. It's got posts dating back to December 2019 about what Armie Hammer was up to.

The latest rumor is that Jake Paul's mansion got raided by the FBI back in August and Logan Paul is abruptly moving to Puerto Rico because they're involved in weapon, drug, and human trafficking.

That’s considered a rumor? I thought it was well publicized that Jake Paul was raided by the FBI and they pulled like 23 rifles from his house (among many other things).

He got raided in August but didn't get arrested. It was claimed that it was just in relation to the vandalism at a mall in Arizona during the Floyd protests, which everyone immediately called out as bullshit because the FBI isn't going to raid someone's house over smashing a few mall windows. The rumor is that both of them are actively being investigated and a case is being built.

Assuming he didn't kill the person, I think that's a fair play.

none of that makes any sense lol

anyway the general idea I got from my tx history class was that settlers weren't really supposed to be settling on Mexican land, then did not want to leave it (or lose their slaves obviously) when Mexico started giving a poo poo about it (in a dictatorial power consolidation type of way)

basically the classic "send settlers, then say the bad guys are forcing them from their homes later" conquering strategy. if only there was some modern analogue that was happening right now somewhere in the near east....
