I was interviewing for a job in the cruise industry back in 2018/19 (would have been in corporate) and man I'm glad that didn't work out. Cruises are very fun but are basically an environmental disaster with sketchy human rights potential violations with all the immigrant labor used.

It looks like QVC, although the venn diagram of people who watch Jim Bakker and QVC is probably pretty close to a circle, so maybe they don't care.

She told me that the way she feels (spending every waking moment wanting to die because of her grief) is actually normal and I just don't understand because I never lost a child.

First off, I’m sorry that you have to deal with all that poo poo, my family annoys me and thinking about them sometimes keeps me up at night, but I get along with my parents and can generally enjoy their company.

For some completely useless perspective from an internet stranger, my brother died over a decade ago at 22 and it absolutely destroyed my mom and hosed her up for years. She eventually used her grief as motivation to start a Compassionate Friends chapter in our area which is a support group for parents who’ve lost their kids. She eventually worked through her grief as the rest of us did and now she’s retired and living her best life kayaking around with pals and stuff. My parents used to be pretty religious and went to church every Sunday but now they hardly give a poo poo about any of that anymore.

I'm so glad my idiot boomer parents are just regular Kennedy Democrats. My mom is a real churchy Catholic who grew up wealthy, but she was also a high school language teacher for decades, so she's pro-union. She's pretty staunchly pro-life but not at all anti birth control.

Speaking of...

quote:

The new side effect listing in the EU will only make things more difficult for AstraZeneca. And it’s also likely to cast a shadow over the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, which is authorized in the US and elsewhere and uses the same design as AstraZeneca’s vaccine.

Both vaccines use an adenovirus vector. Adenoviruses are common viruses that can cause cold-like infections and other mild illnesses in people. For vaccine delivery, they’re engineered so they can’t replicate in cells or cause disease, but they can deliver to cells the genetic code of a more dangerous germ. In the case of the COVID-19 vaccines, the engineered adenoviruses deliver the code of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which adorns the outside of the virus’s particle. The spike protein is what SARS-CoV-2 uses to grab onto human cells and get inside—and it’s a key target for potent antibodies and other immune responses. Once the adenovirus vector delivers the code for the spike, our cells can make their own versions of the protein and use it to train immune responses that will recognize and destroy the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

A potential pitfall of adenovirus-based vaccines is that adenoviruses can also bind to platelets and cause problems. In fact, some pre-pandemic data has suggested that adenoviruses can activate platelets and lead to low platelet counts. But the connection between this and the vaccine and the mechanism causing the blood clotting in vaccinees needs far more data to understand.

Still, the side effects seen in AstraZeneca’s vaccine raise worries about Johnson & Johnson’s. During the clinical trials of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, there was an early sign of an increased risk of these blood-clotting conditions in vaccinated people, Peter Arlett, head of data analytics at the EMA, said in a press briefing Wednesday. But the link was never confirmed, he added.

Of the approximately 4.5 million people who have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine worldwide, there have been three reported cases of blood-clotting events similar to those seen in people given the AstraZeneca vaccine, Arlett said. These numbers are “extremely small,” he emphasized. “This is, however, under close scrutiny... I think it would be fair to say there’s intensive monitoring of this issue across the vaccines.”

A possibility is that they're allergic to one of the components (three-letter acronym, can't remember it for anything right now) in both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. My sis-in-law can only take the J&J version that doesn't have that component. She had to walk out of her first vaccine appointment because the clinic she was at ran out of J&J and switched to Moderna. They thought no one would notice or care so they made the change without telling anyone. Sis noticing the label at the last minute was what saved her from winding up in anaphylactic shock.

I'm sure the truth is that some hack said that Pfizer's got more dead babies or mercury in their vaccine or something.

Because if you buy it, that's taxable. But church donations are free, friend!
