My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

i understand this is not exactly the tenor of this thread, but i don't really gaf if you think its stupid.

I don't at all, since you gave a valid reason for it. On the other hand I spent a decade and a half being sent all over the place with batteries of shots which often got redone because of "records issues" so I'm really only mad at the "shots are hitler, they are forcing the military to get shots, that's not American". I had to redo yellow fever. We also got small pox and anthrax so I'm rather jaded over all this.

I haven't heard about any Moderna breakthrough cases. Makes you think.

My health system was mostly Maderna and we only had a few breakthrough infections until Delta hit. Since early August it’s been non stop breakthroughs. Between that and Nodelphi’s story it convinced me to get a booster

My dad was a dipshit army / usaf / reserves hippie who dodged immunizations every year or claimed he did.

knowing what I do of the military now I'm 100% convinced that he just submitted to the immunizations when he went to egypt in 1994 and just whined about it after the fact.

He also never went over e5 so I'm pretty sure he was a life long gently caress-up and deserved it.

Anybody wanna make predictions on what exactly the FDA will announce tomorrow for eligibility?

I'm gonna guess that the White House leaned hard enough on them to announce boosters which theoretically have restrictions (to get the brunchlibs on board who fetishize gatekeeping), but are practically everybody. Stuff like "is at risk of COVID" or some poo poo.

Biden is probably pissed that the FDA didn't go through with his September 20 date, and he seems like the sort of rear end in a top hat who really holds a grudge.

You don't dodge poo poo. You get lined up and a row of medics or corpsmen on either side just dose you and you might know what you get or in some cases you aren't told. Even as a civilian consultant/contractor/gs type you don't have a choice, you get the shot or you're gone. That's it!

i dunno, i figure if you didn't want people to laugh at your death you shouldn't have died in such a predictably funny way

like my mentors death was a loving tragedy: survived covid once before the shots, got both of them, survived brain cancer and died to a brain bleed because all the plauge beasts were taking up the ICU

so yes, i'm going to mock the poo poo out of these assholes that are literally murdering people when they inevitably include themselves in that body count.

if you don't like it that dumb fuckers are dying in droves then you have to forcibly confine everyone to their homes and halt all domestic travel and close all the schools and businesses. "making fun of them less" doesn't actually do anything. no one seems to want to do what you would need to do to decrease those deaths. because of that, i will continue to make fun of them and their sad pathetic deaths.

Well, I think my family has official succ dem’d themselves out of seeing their grandchild. They’ve been dragging their feet on boosters for weeks despite getting their first shots in like Feb/March and being over 65. They won’t do anything that isn’t 100% blessed by Joe himself publicly so they haven’t gotten then. They also won’t get a TDAP booster because they are sure they got one in the last 10 years but can’t recall when and don’t have any documentation of it.

Why the gently caress is it so hard to get someone to get a loving shot? My grandfather watched his best friend paralyzed from the chest down by polio when he was a kid. They get a flu shot every year. But getting a TDAP booster because they can’t remember when they got their last shot and a Covid booster is a bridge too far.

Thanks for the 3M Aura 9205 recommendations, thread. I went back to KF94s after my boss started asking about my respirator, these Auras fit way more snugly then the KF94s ever did.

Glad to have this thread, feels like the only place in my life that ever took covid seriously. It is hard to keep up with a thread with hundreds of posts a day, but staying focused and informed is just as important as the vaccines and the masks.

if they've lived in the same state for the last 10 years maybe they can check their state immunization database. here in washington i was looking up my covid shots and saw it has my tdap and other vaccine records too. very handy and easy if your state is partnered with myirmobile.com to do all the records lookup.
