It may have a low risk of causing blood clots? What does COVID do for blood clots? Wasn't there speculation that the spike protein caused a non-zero risk of blood clots? The one you get way more of with COVID than the vaccine?

Some in my family keep repeating this bullshit and I don’t know where it started.

With the next wave already started I’m really glad I’ll be vaccinated this Friday. Imagine waiting another month or two.

it's part of the open 'er up pseudoacademic industrial complex

greatest hits include:

- you don't need vaccinations to open 'er up

- you don't need social distancing to open 'er up

- you don't need to separate sick people from healthy people to open 'er up

- 3 == 6

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and this is pure speculation.

The one thing that strikes me with the possibly AZ related blood clots in Norway and Denmark, is that it is all healthcare workers. It makes me wonder if perhaps we are seeing a consequence of taking the AZ vaccine after having already had COVID and the blood clotting issues of COVID combine unfavorably with a reduction of platelets in AZ recipients.

As I recall people whom have had COVID were screened out in the phase 3 trials, so it wouldn't have come up as an issue.

pfizer already said, actually we gave you 6 doses, so we're going to ship you 20% less bottles and still charge you the same

there will be zero consequences for price gouging this. they will negotiate with the administration, rather, to determine the optimal amount of squeeze/rock/blood. McKinsey will have a power point

It's my understanding that CdM isn't even a Mexican holiday and they celebrate it on a different day. Cinco de Mayo is literally an American holiday that's an excuse to drink tequila.

Now on the other hand my comment on Jose Cuervo is the fact that Jose belongs in the trash. Never drink anything that doesn't have "100% agave" on the bottle. I recommend Hornitos or Espelon for a budget tequila.

Don't know if I'm missing a joke somewhere, but Cinco de Mayo has nothing to do with Mexican independence. It's the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla when Mexico expelled France. It's not a holiday nor a major celebration in Mexico.

all the people who are saying 'masks make it so you don't need to worry about distancing' are the exact same people who, exactly a year ago, trumpeted 'masks are actually bad, because if you wear them you won't worry about distancing' . guess they were right!

Saw someone asking about mormon antivaxers. My entire mormon extended family (six cousins, their spouses, and 23 kids among them) have decided not to get the vaccine because the patriarch of the family, my dumbass uncle who caught covid in April and nearly died, has done some online research and decided the vaccine is ungodly.

Because mormons are trained to listen to the eldest man in the family, they have all decided to skip the shot.

Also most of them are obese.

I unfriended all of them after the Capitol riots, so I'll never know if some of them die until my mom calls and tells me, and then I'll just say "oh no" and pretend to be shocked.
