Just bullshit them. I know plenty of people who've just bullshitsu'd their way into a third shot. It's mainstream https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/booster-bandits-ethics/620048/ to the point where a lot of doctors and hospitals are just handing the drat things out full well knowing people already had their shots.

okay, I am just trying to understand how this works, as well as having an accurate vaxx record if possible.

Can I just walk in with my real vaxx card (2x pfizer), real ID, and say "hey, I have a medical condition and based on a discussion with my doctor I've been advised to get a third shot", presto poof?

I'll also have to track this over the next few months; I am only 3 months out from Pfizer 2 right now, I don't want to boost yet.

is the US even using Johnson and Johnson domestically. I thought it was all being used for COVAX at this point.

Australia went through all the effort of approving J&J for provisional use earlier this year but then went "Ehhhhhhhh we've already got a big order for AZ and they're practically the same aren't they?? Do we really need another vaccine?????" and didn't bother putting in an order for any doses. :v:

Spoiler: we didn't get enough doses of AZ in time and our monumentally inept vaccine rollout was horrifically stalled right from the get go, and is still struggling to get enough doses to meet demand

There is plausible and justifiable reason for a person to be suspicious of the exact numbers China has declared for COVID, sure. As a general rule you can probably always assume that any organization or individual, unless you know them personally, is going to always exaggerate things a little to present themselves in the best light, that's normal. But the thing is, there is literally no plausible way to deny that China has gotten COVID under control. We know the methods China is using, and we know these are methods that absolutely can and should work. If someone wants to claim that the situation in China is starkly different from what China is claiming, then they have to either provide an explanation for how and why it is that despite using all the proper NPIs China is still seeing mass death and uncontrolled spread, or else how and why it is that despite the Western media making such a big deal out of the draconian lockdowns and quarantines and authoritarian contact tracing measures, China's actually not employed meaningful NPIs and is in fact taking the same non-approach as the West.

To my knowledge, no denialist has ever done either. They claim that China is enacting these NPIs that any sane person with half a brain knows would work against basically any and every disease that isn't like in the water supply or something, and yet somehow claim that China is still seeing uncontrolled spread just as bad as the rest of the world.

There is literally no way to deny the broad strokes of China's claims without denying either the germ theory of disease or that China has enacted certain measures, measures so widely accepted that nearly all of these denialists have also spent much time and energy decrying them as authoritarian.

Essentially there are a few things going on. In some cases you can just walk into a vax place and they aren't even going to ask for an ID or check you, or if they do ask for an ID they aren't going to check you right there and then. So you just go get the drat shot and then when they do all the paper work later they figure out the oopsie but you're out of the woods and nobody is going to do gently caress all about it. In other cases there are some doctors and hospitals who will just straight up give you a booster knowing full drat well that it's a booster because they actually endorse boostering. Neither they nor you are going to get in any trouble for this because everybody is all over the map. Keep in mind just because the FDA/CDC don't recommend it doesn't mean a doctor can't do it. In other cases you can just flat out loving lie about your vax status and go get a shot or you can refuse to ID for some made up reason. In yet other cases as to what you are implying you can go into some random drug store or public vax area and loving lie your rear end off about some underlying condition and they will give you the shot.

The thing to keep in mind is the entire situation is gigantic cluster gently caress with all sorts of different places doing all sorts of stupid things and nobody is enforcing poo poo.

Look, think of it this way. If you can go out and get horse paste and Hydroxychloroquine despite the FDA and CDC not approving from an actual doctor how hard do you think getting another shot is going to be?

Why is CDC so freaked out over flu season this year

I'm having trouble find it, but in one of the 4 covid threads, there was a study suggesting that in a co-infection with flu and covid, the flu acted synergistically with covid to produce even worse outcomes. It was from data collected in Wuhan during the initial outbreak, before covid restrictions murdered the flu last season. I want to say it was something like 5x worse mortality rate for coinfections, but the sample size was pretty small because the number of places that had covid without NPIs during flu season, and an active flu season were pretty low.

If the no mask crowd starts spreading flu along with covid, the way they're spreading RSV, it's going to be even more of a bloodbath.
