Yeah but given all the fake name Max Titer people it seems that you could just roll up and claim no ID or insurance, give a fake name and get one? Like the place giving it to you has the ability to submit info but there's clearly no check at the CDC's end that they have to wait for before they give it to you. Worst case if you get an unofficial booster now and then have to get an official one later is you just get 4 shots I guess? Which from what I've read doesn't seem like a problem at all.

I'm not in the USA and we DO have a central database here so none of this will effect me, more just curious about why people want to wait for their clearly BS government to give them the ok to get a legit booster when they could already snake a dodgy one and all of the people in charge seem quite happy to get boosted up regardless of CDC advice.

I mean personally none of the family members I live with will go get a booster until the govt says it's okay and I'm much more concerned about them getting sick than me getting sick so I just don't really feel the need to bother at this point.

4th booster seems inevitable at this point so may as well max titers it up but if people need a record of a booster for work i guess it's up to them

there’s no national database but my state (CA) has a database and they know I got two shots despite them being from different locations

originally in the pandemic my dumb state was rolling out strictly based on age, so I went to the neighboring state where I worked to pick up my first shot, then went to my county health department for my second.

a month later I was called every day for a week to schedule my “second shot”. it didn’t matter how many times I told them “I got my first in another state, I got my second here” - their system couldn’t handle that. they finally just stopped calling. they probably think I’m on my first and just gave up.

and the first vax center has yet to send in an insurance claim - only been 6 months. probably lost in the shuffle.

basically what I’m saying is “the only real record that exists is a slightly larger than wallet sized piece of card stock that a pharmacist scribbled on”.

use this to your loving advantage. max titers your booster. write that shot on your current card if/when (lol lmao) you are ever required to get a booster. “oh I got that shot when I was visiting family across the country haha they must not have billed my insurance yet”

but thinking “I’ll save my booster for a vaccine passport!” is dumb. get a booster now and save your next shot for that

oh yeah I should add that although the state database knows I have two shots it keeps pestering me to get my second shot because I got mine at two different locations and both are thought of as first shots by the darabase’s logic

That's a well argued post, but I have to disagree on two points: First Covid really isn't deadly enough to force a change in thinking. After all, the vast majority survives.

It does in theory. The problem with mass death doesn't come when the hospitals are working and supply lines are functioning and materiel is being produced and staff exists. The uncontrollable, mass death scenario begins when staff cannot be found to man the beds, truckers don't move supplies and supplies can't be produced at all.

So if 1 in 100 people need hospitalization, but can't get hospitalization, that's when mass death starts. Can't get oxygen. Can't get steroids. Can't get medical care. With those things they would have survived.

The thinking has been so far shaped that resources are plenty. Times of plenty are ending but for those in charge, there will always be plenty. Their brains don't understand what it means to lack or to have to ration and so they're not husbanding their resources.

That is a large part of what leads to a mass death scenario. Ten million or more just from covid and then another person dead from suicide or drug overdose or giving up due to heartbreak.

quote:

There is a real possibility that this wave will be the worst yet for the US, but what is another million dead, really? India didn't collapse either. Things can keep getting worse for quite some time.

India didn't collapse permanently. I'm talking temporary social collapse. But what will happen will likely be along the lines of what happened to India.

quote:

Two: The vaccines have held up reasonably well despite everything. So maybe if we get the nasal spray vaccines to work that alone might be enough for this pandemic. But then Covid is over and we're back to normal. And in normal times there's little money in vaccines. In a way that's the downside of the vaccines keeping up as well as they have. They provide pretty good protection on an individual level. Not really odds I'd want to take, but odds I could take if I have to. Nearly good enough on an individual level but inadequate on a societal level is what you could write on our civilizations grave stone.

The vaccines keep people from death and out of the hospital as much but not completely. However, if you get infected, there is still a chance of long covid. This is not acceptable if we riddle the population with permanent illnesses when we're losing medical professionals. Further, covid will adapt faster than we can develop new vaccines. Covid mutates quickly under pressure. Quicker than we will ever adapt to it.

And what of the rest of the world? The global south where vaccines are not prevalent? I do not trust that the west will get vaccines out to the global south and even if they do, I do not trust them not to use them as a weapon or as a means of control.

Covid will always win and we will always lose so long as we do not treat covid like a social problem.

yeah it's so impressively cynical now that covid is for real and killing everyone when last year hospitals were loving empty outside of the ED and plague pits. Health care in america is going to be absolutely dire for the next several years thanks to peak capitalism crushing every drop of profit from the labor force to the detriment of sustainability.

lmao I love when people with actual universal healthcare start asking questions about how Americans experience it and we’re just all saying “buddy, it’s irredeemably stupid from top to bottom.”

you have two shots in an actual central database and they can’t get the rules right. my state representatives thinks real ID was the first step towards us all getting the mark of satan, so the thought of “tracking” my shots in any way is absolutely never going to happen
