So gonna Max my Titers and get my booster next week just two questions;
1. Where have goons been going besides CVS? Anything I should know?
2. I’ve never had to worry about this before but Doctor-Patient Privilege is a real thing and applies here right? I don’t like lying to doctors so I probably will let mine know I got a third jab if it ever comes up.

In addition to the mask information from the old OP, which was loving fantastic, maybe we should have a guide to maxing your titers in the OP too?

policies for boosters are still very new and getting worked out and are inconsistently followed, you may have to try a few places to find a pharmacist willing to give you a booster

at my outfit we've done a few boosters... our first one was for a 17 year old with a double lung and heart transplant, the patient has to sign an attestation stating they're immunocompromised and the pharmacists ask about relevant conditions and therapies

I did Walgreens. doctor-patient privilege doesn't apply because pharmacists aren't doctors. that's also why you should feel bad lying to them - as for your doctor? I mean I don't plan on mentioning it unless it becomes very relevant. I'm a bad liar too so if they ask about my back, I'll just show my card with 2x or something

pick a lie, and commit. you left your ID at home, you don't have insurance and are still trying to get paperwork together for your state's medicaid, etc

ugh.

on the one hand this is how most vaccines work, the spread out dosing schedule in childhood causes your body to say "oh gently caress I keep running into this, better always have a lot of antibodies circulating" when you get a shot several months after the first.

on the other hand Fauci is saying it...

i come with great news! we're now hiring in NJ & PA!!!



Are YOU a C-SPAMMER who has had their job hosed by COVID or is being forced to go back to a plague pit so your boss can see your smile?
Do YOU or someone you know have a knot in their stomach because they have to roll the dice with death every day for a pitiful paycheck?
Do YOU have a stable internet connection for 40 hours a week and are able to read words, talk without throwing up, and not be a total shithead on the phone?
Do YOU live in Ohio, Delaware, Utah Arizona, Illinois, NEW JERSEY, PITTSBURGH, OR THE PITTSBURGH AREA KNOWN AS PENNSYLVANIA?


GOOD NEWS! WE'RE HIRING!

Hi! My name is Business Gorillas and I want to do BUSINESS with YOU!!! My company is currently hiring for phone jockeys in a couple different departments. These are entry-level customer service positions with the following benefits:

- A signing bonus of up to $2,000 if you stay for one year.
- Full benefits including health insurance, dental, vision, ~20 days of PTO, no-excuse sick time, and education assistance totaling a maximum of $10,000 a year.

I'm not going to lie, the jobs I have are dull and unrewarding, but I bet your current job is too! Tell those petty tyrants you debase yourself for tips to or that retail manager who keeps hitting on the 17 year olds to work with to :supaburn:GO TO HELL:supaburn: and join a company that won't ask you to risk your lungs for your pay. Hell, as long as you're not awful, there's plenty of room for promotions as soon as there's spots available!

:smith: "All I have on my resume is that I was a worker at the Dick Sucking Factory for 3 years and a Grease Trap at McDonald's..." :smith:
I DON'T CARE. I'm not here to make commissions or get money for what I'm doing, I'm here to keep you alive. NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO RISK THEIR LIFE FOR A PAYCHECK, AND THAT INCLUDES YOU. Send me a DM and we'll work on your resume! I'm a bullshit artist by trade, so let me help YOU get a job where you can dodge Delta.

:smith: "I'm not in one of those states you talked about..." :smith:
SEND ME A DM ANYWAYS! If I can't find you a job, I'm working with other goons that also have positions at their own companies. If they're a good fit, I'll connect you two!

:smith: "I want a WFH job, but I have skills and $16.00 doesn't work for me..." :smith:
STILL TALK TO ME! The goons I'm working with have other jobs available. Hell, if I think you're overqualified for my jobs, I'll connect you to them anyways! I want you to make as much money for as little work as possible!

WE LOSE ENOUGH OF OUR LIVES TO OUR WORK, GOON. THERE'S NO REASON TO LOSE YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF IT.

there were a couple of trials very early on in the pandemic that kinda sorta showed that ivermectin MIGHT improve your odds at recovering from covid if you squinted at the results a little

people then started gassing themselves up on this, including boosting the idea that because follow-up studies were being done, that obviously this means there's something to it

there was at least one study that tried to assert conclusively that this was the case, but it was soon found out that they were working with bogus data

any study that actually tried to prod into ivermectin any further found that it didn't work (obviously)

at least here in the Philippines, it was promoted by people who had monetary interests in selling ivermectin. I have no doubt that it's the case in the US, though I haven't looked into it far enough to provide a name

as well, (civil) libertarians and anti-establishmentarians have taken up the cause of ivermectin for reasons of "free speech", which is why you had Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald and most recently Jimmy Dore bringing it up - they want to Stick It To The Man maybe not so much because they believe in ivermectin but because the government and the liberal mainstream media is saying that you shouldn't

very early in the pandemic when scientists were trying everything someone put a duck load of ivermectin in a Petri dish with Covid and human cells and noticed that the Covid didn't reproduce.

they published a paper on it. the paper noted that the concentrations of ivermectin required would be lethal.

cranks (both online and at Fox News) latched onto it as a way to say that Covid isn't a big deal. desperate people have glommed onto it in hope of it allowing them to do something to fight Covid without having to completely rewrite their identities by taking the vaccine.

seriously, not getting vaccinated is approaching being anti-abortion as a core tenant of conservative nutjobism.

wait

if you’re not fully vaccinated what exactly are you “boosting” with a booster?

That's when it became crystal clear we definitely needed boosters. Note the date, early July.

"the FDA is trampling on your rights" is mostly just because corporations want to get rid of the FDA so that food production gets deregulated

you just also end up having to manufacture propaganda to gas up people into opposing the FDA on every single issue, including vaccines, because that's just good politics from a mobilization standpoint

and then you do the thing long enough and you end up with people who just oppose the FDA on principle and forgot the underlying reason
