I might be missing something but this sounds like the sort of problem that will take care of itself in time as chud voters in chud states are decimated by preventable diseases.

Unfortunately it'll mostly effect minorities, the elderly, the undocumented, the disabled and other vulnerable populations before it has much of an effect on them :(

You tend to find that after one measles outbreak and parents hearing the stories about how little Timmy’s best friend is now blind and in a wheelchair then childhood vaccinations catch up very very quickly.

There was an article in one of the U.K. papers today talking about how if covid had effected children and not old people then the death toll would have been a fraction of what it is, because people don’t care about old people in nursing homes anywhere as near as much.

Maybe that happens where you are. Here we have measles parties so parents can deliberately infect their children. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/05/200527181329.htm

Finally got my second Moderna shot today. Didn't have much of a reaction last time. Just a very slight sore arm way further down from the injection spot a few days after that lasted for a few days. Still nothing from this new one.

But the whole time I was doing my 15 minute wait, 2 older guys in Vietnam vet hats were arguing about how Biden literally ruined the Earth, and we're going to get bombed by Russia because they're "going to do something, that's for sure" about him. And he of course had to start looking around for attention. He saw me sitting there wearing a mask, and started yelling at me that I could take it off. "You don't have to wear them anymore after June 1st. That's the law."

What I'm saying is that I had to pay for my shot in the form of sitting and listening to entitled racist white boomers bitch about the foreign boogie man for 15 minutes. And I honestly don't think that was a fair trade, but whatever. I'm glad it's done.

The PG in some of the vaccines can cause allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock, in the U.K. they won’t let you leave for 15 minutes after the pfizer. It’s a super rare allergy but if you have ever had a bad reaction to vaping, asthma inhalers or plug in air fresheners then you should really mention this to the person giving you your jab.

I've had two people yell something at me since the CDC change when I was wearing a mask

One time it was a crowded area and that guy was obviously being an rear end in a top hat and I just ignored it

The other time the person was right in my face and was like "you're not required to wear that" in a snarky voice and I said "I'm not required to wash my hands after using the toilet either but it's considered polite"

No one clapped or anything though, in case you were wondering

Yeah, a lot of these laws are going to make previously rare or declining diseases make a comeback as well. I know several of them include not being able to require, inquire, or incentivize at all related to ANY vaccination not just the covid one.

Apologies, it’s Propylene Glycol.

Edit: that’s not another name for PEG btw

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol

This is the section on adverse reactions to PG being injected “Responses may include CNS depression, "hypotension, bradycardia, QRS and T abnormalities on the ECG, arrhythmia, cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, agitation, serum hyperosmolality, lactic acidosis, and haemolysis"

Don’t forget “feeling of impending doom”.

That’s officially a potential vaccine side effect because anything that triggers an allergic reaction can do it.
