If you want to criticize the rollout, talk about people who can’t risk being out of work for a day or two due to side effects. Like they can’t plan to take the weekend or find two days in their schedule to be sick because they don’t have sick time or work 7 days a week to keep the lights on. That’s where the government failed, not giving people paid sick leave to get shots.

...is that not exactly what the tweet says

lmao if you think this thread is representative of any broader American demographic

but more specifically, we chose to do almost all vaccine distribution through pharmacies and grocery stores

there are vast swaths of city land that is not within 1 mile of pharmacies or supermarkets, and those are 97% in low income neighborhoods

if you can't see the connection between race, food/pharmacy deserts and vaccine availability in the US, what are you even doing in this forum

here's a quick primer

Went to get my 3rd today, but attempted to do so in the legit fashion, since my work may require a booster at some point and didn't want to have to explain who "Max Titers" was to my boss.

Was rejected! "You don't qualify for a third" the CVS pharmacist said, with still 25 open slots for a shot available in the day. Have an appointment with my PCP on Friday, hoping he'll give me the third shot. If not, Max Titers will ride again and that may just be a fun conversation in a few months.

Did they ask if you were immunocompromised? what did you say? I have a CVS appt soon

As a Canadian we get everything from America late.
Where I live the fourth wave hasn't hit yet-how long until the "we have to live with this" becomes baked in? There are still people who are cautious here, but I'm seeing in the Canadian C-SPAM thread it's starting there already so how long until you noticed the people around you justifying living normally because "it's the new normal" or whatever?

I remember the vaccine parade on vaccine day and how the vaxxy helpers would go door to door and make sure everyone got to their designated vac shack that was on every block and how to find a loving time and place for a vaccine wasn't completely random and didn't required me to go searching through web1.0 links until it was just a compressed jpg with a schedule for the previous month and I definitely didn't have to play phone tag until I got someone who knew the schedules, place, and which loving vaccines (oh yes there also wasn't a loving vaccine that DIDN'T loving DO ANYTHING so I didn't need to loving shop around for the non clotting actually effective vaccine)

my mom can't even get into her own email on a smartphone, so yeah gently caress her for not doing something so loving easy that most of the media was also telling her that it will kill her gently caress it all, let them all die it's their own fault everything was just loving handed out in the most efficient and convenient way loving possible and your glee at people dieing isn't just you coping with the fact THAT WERE JUST LETTING MILLSIONS OF P{EOPLE DIE FOR NO FUCKNIG REAASOOSOSN

Keep an eye on the upper Midwest. Illinois is starting to spike this week, Michigan and Wisconsin and Minnesota should follow and Canada with them

Last year Illinois had it's first big spike on October 16 2020 with 5100 cases (early around labor day was the only other time that high but that was a backlog and uiuc testing issues). Friday aug 20 2021 Illinois had 4900 cases, and testing is comparable to last year all of a sudden.

current rolling average is 3500 in IL. Last year we got there on 10/17, on 11/17 we hit the peak at 12k, highest in nation for a bit. So we are two months ahead of schedule , schools are opening next week, and the weather is perfect so cases won't truly go nuts until it's cold and rainy this fall

baseline activity, 20% of people in the US are effectively homebound, making no regular trips of any distance outside of their residence.

there is no reason we shouldn't have vaxxed door-to-door instead of, best case in some cities, handed out pamphlets and then said lol pandemic of the unvaccinated 6 months later

WV was pretty successful with nursing home vaccinations early on specifically because they went through local pharmacies, but the general vaccination drive shat the bed a long time ago. OLol

Exactly. Just lol if the last 1.5 years' worth of our COVID response compared to, say, China's hasn't already made this crystal clear to you. This is a failure of the bourgeois state and the blame can't be laid anywhere else.

You think? I have a degree in community management (yeah yeah, yuk it up) but I am finding this pandemic, the longer is goes on, highlights the fallacy of the fact we are part of a community in a broader sense (caring for one another, etc). We are all alone, and as such, if it doesn't hit you specifically well...there's a great concert going on,let's go! We're vaccinated after all!

This isn't doom by the way, just the reality. I see little sparks of people caring, people forming communities during this. I just think there was a great lie we all believed that we were all part of the human race and looked out for each other, etc. Now we're competing to see who can throw the most kids/workers into the meatgrinders to appease the white rich people. Maybe the jaded internet knew this already, but the average wine mom or the office worker dad now see it too.

They did, and I said I wasn't. "It looks like you didn't check the immunocompromised box, so you don't qualify for a shot." I was trying to do it legit and used my insurance and didn't want anything changing on it so I answered everything honestly. I got the vibe that had said I didn't have insurance and I was immunocompromised I could have gotten a third shot, or gotten a first shot if I didn't provide that info. I was hoping with Pfizer being greenlit on Monday and cases exploding they might just shrug their shoulders when I said I was a teacher and wanted a booster before students come in in a few weeks.

The pharmacist just objected to me getting my third and not being immunocompromised. I decided I'd try that first but if I can't get a shot on Friday with my PCP I'll try again on Sat but Max Titers style.
