If he’s been hospitalized for a month with this, isn’t he pretty hosed even if he lives?

Well, obviously not [citation needed] but according to the article, the answer is straight up "lol, get hosed" so that's assuring.
I donated platelets twice in the last 4 weeks after not having gone for a year, I remember it stuck out to me that I didn’t see the COVID vaccine status question on the first donation since I thought they’d been seeking that, though it did show up on the second one. So I’m not sure they even have 100% knowledge of whether a particular blood donation came from someone vaccinated or not.

Its WWII all over again, just replace brown people with vaccinated people

quote:

In December 1941, a few days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entry into World War II, a Detroit mother named Sylvia Tucker visited her local Red Cross donor center to give blood.
Having heard the “soul-stirring” appeals for blood donors on her radio, she was determined to do her part. But when she arrived at the center, the supervisor turned her away. “Orders from the National Offices,” he explained, “barred Negro blood donors at this time.”

It is an FDA thing. The Red Cross website blurb on it basically says we know it is a lovely policy but we can’t change it. The Red Cross did recently start a study on the blood of gay and bisexual men to try to show that the policy can be changed but who knows if the FDA will change anything based on it?

I'm pretty sure the EULA (or whatever it is for stadium seats, "ticketholder agreement," I believe) on your Allegiant season tickets that are physical and digital media says "we can do whatever the gently caress we want with them and you can suck a dick, maybe get your money back"

I can't comment on the veracity of that since I'm not rich enough to go to Raiders games now that they moved closer to me :rolleyes: but it's basically what my now year-and-a-half-old RATM/RTJ tix say

Why wait? They made their choice, let them enjoy it.
Frankly it may even be about as close to a real solution as we have in this hosed up hell nation. Make a semi-mandatory vaccination mandate for all Americans able to receive it. Individuals can opt out and choose to be not vaccinated - hence semi-mandatory - but in doing so must sign a waiver that excuses hospitals from having to provide them ICU care for any and all COVID related symptoms and complications.

Republicans love to sow, but hate to reap, but too bad. Make them.

I have actual skeletons in my closet
What do you say to people that agree to masks and other guidelines but refuse to get a vaccine? They feel like they are being safe and responsible so they don't need to inject "an experiment" into themselves. I'm in an online community and while the mods are anti-misinformation, the general consensus is wear a mask, not vaccinate. I don't know if its just trolls, new age woo types, or mix of both.

This would, of course, be impossible unless a large proportion of the event were unvaxed. This spike has pushed the county up above “red” level by the EU guidelines and so residents are now barred from entering Norway and many other countries. (Even though the infected mostly came from other counties and from abroad, and have presumably returned there.)

Local mayor is righteously furious in a Facebook post.

“When the fact that a bunch of anti-vaxxers have been loving each other in Molkom leads to the border being closed for everyone in the county, it should be clear to anyone that both these people’s heads and the border crossing rules are completely hosed up.”

you say "get the loving shot you clods"


seriously though there's no amount of convincing that's going to change these people's minds. last week a streamer I watch randomly started going into how unnecessary the vaccine is if you had covid (which they did) and i'm just not going to go back to it because gently caress these people. There were a bunch of people pissed about it in chat but an equal amount of people saying poo poo like "BASED!!!!" and praising them for not being a guinea pig or whatever.

I'm not in any risk groups other than being a bit overweight but I've been working hard to lose that weight and have made some really good progress. I'm hoping my parents can get on this asap though.

Honestly I'll line the gently caress up to get a shot every year if that's what it takes with this poo poo. I know it's not going away any time soon because of the morons who won't get one

Try to convince them that the vaccine is a subset of the proteins and the problems their body will have to deal with if they catch the virus.

Remember when we called it the “novel coronavirus”? That bastard has been incubating in bats for millions of years, it spilled over in 2019, and now we’re in the test tube with it.

poo poo this is heartbreaking

Health workers should've quit last year, or protested or done something to let people know how tough things are, get a raise, more time off, something

I imagine due to the nature of the profession it must attract generous altruistic, selfless people in general, who don't tend to complain, but the way medical staff were treated last year (not just in the US, but globally) was shameful.

oh wow you clapped for a couple of days, great job

I can't find it right now but I remember a photo of a doctor or nurse standing in front of cars full of antivaxx protesters

Imagine going into the Covid floor after passing a bunch of antivaxx protesters outside lol
And then getting to work on antivaxx patients who will say "it was worth it, still don't trust the vaccine" when they get out lol

So what’s their long term strategy here? Delta/covid is really never going away now. Unless NZ intends to never let foreigners in, they’ll have to deal with it at some time. Unless they’re banking on a vaccine coming out that unequivocally protects all people. Or are they going to lock down every time someone is infected?
