Why is every pharmacy being such assholes about Making Sure You Qualify for the booster

It bummed me out, my wife lost her enthusiasm for a booster when the pharmacist said she wasn't immunocompromised enough, and you know that dose is going in the trash eventually (we are in Texas)

Do we have any idea the total vaccinated or past covid cases? Wondering what the total "some immunity" number is.

because you need to Trust the Science and the Science says 8 months before boosters

the Science is clear and it says so right here on this DNC press release underneath the crossed out "kids can't get covid" line

I've yet to see a respirator in the wild. I'm missing out. Are you where the fires are, by chance? Maybe a lot of the respirators got snatched up to do double duty.

one of the only half face masks I've seen in the wild is on a dad of my kid's friend. both parents are in their 50s. kid was a surprise, and the dad is pretty disconnected and quiet. would have taken him as more likely to never wear a mask tbh

but then I remembered he's a wood worker and what actually happened is he said, why would I buy a cloth mask when I already have this mask that's better and more comfortable? and he just does not give a gently caress

It just occurred to me that pharmacists are probably watching out for people going in with no ID so that they can get vaccinated on behalf of a chud with a vax-mandatory job. I wonder what the chuds will pay you for getting them an official vax card.

I was thinking about this today too. I can't do the "no ID" thing here in Quebec, so I was thinking of ways someone could get a booster and I came up with "ask the shitload of anti-vaxxers in my area if anybody knows one who sorta looks like you, whose ID you could use"
I am probably not the first or last to think of that

see if there is a county health district around you doing a vaccine drive, the county my office is in has given me all 3 shots no questions asked - including last week when i showed up for my booster. i live in a neighboring county that is much larger.

Lol that would absolutely explain why I got grilled about my name not being on the card (,it's only both sides) and my wife got the booster the second she said she wanted it

Speaking of the elastomeric elite.

My 3M 7500 came a few days ago and I've been rocking it when I need to venture out since. Definitely more comfortable and seems a better seal than my Honeywell models. Also despite not having a speaking diaphragm, I seem to be able to speak more clearly while wearing it than in the Honeywell models that don't have a diaphragm, and about the same as the one that does.

One question I've had for the other elastomeric elite though; how should one handle trips to the doctor for poo poo like COVID tests or routine stuff? Since like, yeah, you kind of have to take the mask off to get tested or often examined. But obviously the waiting room is pretty dangerous so I always want to be masked up in there. So far my operating procedure has been to wear it in the waiting room and when I get into the exam room, as prompted, to quickly take off the respirator and shove it in my airtight plastic bag I have with me, and swap to wearing a KN95 until I am able to get outside at which point I respo back up. Just wondering if that's SOP or if there's a better way.

I went for a colonoscopy the other day. They said I needed to take my respirator off for the anesthesia. I kept my respirator and did it without anesthesia.

I mean half the fun of a colonoscopy is looking at the screen.

I actually had some gas masks laying around that I bought years ago. I bought them so long ago, I don't know who made them and don't have spare filters. I got them from Amazon, so they would probably give me asbestosis. A full on gas mask seems a bit extra tho.

49 new cases in NZ today, two days of reducing numbers in a row now. Apparently 2/3rds of those cases were infections within households of existing infections and ~73% didn't result in any new locations of interest (i.e. they hadn't left the house while infectious). Looking good.

I wonder if this would work for getting a booster without ID:

- obtain fake blank vax card
- fill in fake first dose info
- show up for your “second dose,” give them just the vax card and don’t show ID

They didn’t want to see ID for my second dose at all, just the vax card :shrug:

Yes, but, I mean, it's hard for the doctor to do an oral examination or a nasal swab while I'm wearing a respirator.
